Latest nightly is completly bugged up, must be the new retained layers... scrolling and some things remain stationary whilst other things move and some text/links ghost and repeat, you end up with a page of unreadable text. it will be good once they manage to fix this bug.

Got a question. I'm using the portable version of Firefox 4 Beta 1 and there is one thing that's bothering me.

I use the Bookmarks Toolbar and there is one thing really annoying me. They added this Bookmarks button. Is there a way to remove it, and if not, have they fixed this since?

have you got directwrite enabled? if yes, disable it by setting false the key:

gfx.font_rendering.directwrite.enabled

in about:config

To disable Bookmark button in Bookmark toolbar, use this in Stylish:

/*Hides bookmarks button, bug scheduled to be fixed in later releases*/

#bookmarks-menu-button {display: none;}

K one more question, is there a way to force Echofon extension to run? I can't remember what I have to do to force extensions in about:config

Edit, found the instructions here: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2010/07/14/how-to-install-or-force-enable-incompatible-add-ons-in-firefox-4-beta/comment-page-1/ And Echofon works :D

What mine looks like now, very happy with this!

I take no credit for these stylish add-ons, all found here in this thread

Tabs in titlebar

@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);

#appmenu-button-container{

position: fixed !important;

}

#navigator-toolbox[tabsontop=true] #TabsToolbar{

padding-left: 95px !important;

}

#appmenu-button .button-text { display:none !important; }

#appmenu-button dropmarker:before { content: "Firefox" !important; }

#appmenu-button{

padding: 1px 10px 3px 9px !important;

height: 22px !important;

}

#navigator-toolbox[tabsontop=true] #TabsToolbar{

padding-left: 90px !important;

padding-top:3px !important;

}

Home Button as app tab

@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);

#TabsToolbar > #home-button {

-moz-appearance: none !important;

background: transparent -moz-linear-gradient(left center , transparent, transparent 1px, rgba(128, 128, 128, 0.1) 1px, rgba(128, 128, 128, 0.1)) repeat scroll -6px 0 !important;

}

#TabsToolbar > #home-button > .toolbarbutton-icon {

Is there a fix for this overlap problem? A fix would be to not allow the tabs to go as far as the 3 buttons on the right

Only in maximized windows

#main-window[sizemode="maximized"] #navigator-toolbox[tabsontop="true"] #TabsToolbar{
padding-right: 120px !important;
}

also in non maximized

#main-window #navigator-toolbox[tabsontop="true"] #TabsToolbar{
padding-right: 120px !important;
}

Yeah I found a fix, but opted for 92px, looks like this (also non-maximized)

post-2-12793823761741.png

#main-window #navigator-toolbox[tabsontop=true] #TabsToolbar

{

margin-right: 92px !important;

}

I was going to use the same clearance as the Firefox button, but then I thought why? :p

Trying the latest nightly now. Scrolling is definitely improved, especially on fixed image site (like the bc2 forums, was REALLY laggy there before) still not as smooth as opera's for me though but its way better than it was before :)

Yeah I'm going to stick with Firefox Beta 1 for now because the extensions I care about work, and the customizations are to my liking :)

I was using nightlies up until today

Wait for them to fix Direct2D rendering.

That, along with bug fixes to the next rendering code, should perfect it.

The autoscroll (when you click middle click) in particular is not smooth for me. Noticeably laggier than just scrolling with the middle click. If they fix that so its smooth it will be great.

Yeah hopefully d2d will improve things even further, I am not using it at all right now because I have always had issues with it (not just with the recent broken builds)

Did you enable smooth scrolling in Options?

I disabled it because scrolling lines seems faster and less laggy.

Yeah I have it enabled. Just disabled it and for me it made the autoscroll stay the same and made the regular scrolling worse (imo)
