Meet Firefox 4.0.1


Recommended Posts

I've only barely played with beta 1 on Mac, but I've seen the Tab Candy video and seen the current Mac mockups, and was wondering will it be possible (via Stylish script or other means) to move the tabs into the title bar on Mac like I've seen on the Windows screenshots in this thread?

not yet i don't believe

OpenGL Layers is progressing pretty well, but there are still a few bugs.

Scrolling isn't very fast, but that will change once the actual implementation work is done.

postponed to Wednesday July 29th now:(

As long as it's a good release, I moved back to FF4 B1 because I missed some of my extensions (which work with it) miss app tabs already!

Acutally it's Thursday the 29th

Exactly, no need to rush a beta release just to get out on that date.

True , we must remember that 4.0 is a major release and no one would like it to be buggy. Even if we have 2~3 betas , but of top quality , it doesn't matter much. Also , if a feature is not going to land in 4.0 , then there is always 4.1 :)

Firefox 4 Beta 2 will break a good number of your extensions because XPCOM will be in that build.

Depending on how many extensions you have/how old they are/etc that number could be pretty big :3

At least, I think XPCOM will be in Beta 2

I think the plan is for 5 betas, with one coming out every 2-3 weeks.

I saw that to, given that Mozilla never meets its schedules I can't see them keeping to that.

It will be, the XPCOM changes landed not long after Beta 1 was built.

anybody knows how I can define the width and height of the tabs? :unsure:

Width is this

.tabbrowser-tab {
  max-width: 120px !important;
  min-width: 0px !important;
}

Height don't know, sorry.

Yeah, I use Minefield so I already went through the huge breakage a while back.

I don't keep too up to date with mainstream firefox releases so I wasn't 100% sure if XPCOM was Beta 2 or Beta 3.

It should provide some fun comments when Beta 2 gets released :p

?Hopefully Beta 2 fixes this irritating bug. Happens when you open a fullscreen application sometimes. Requires a restart to fix. Existed in the 3.6.x versions as well.

Just in case people missed it, Soapy/Boneyard released an alpha of their newest theme "Minimal" in the OS Customization area. Firefox 4 Beta 1 / Minefield only.

I sure did miss it. I've been waiting to try it out, thanks!

(I like it simple & clean)

Pretty nice. I wouldn't have thought of doing it that way. (Y)

Anyone having problems with IDM and youtube? 4.0b2

Yes! IDM does not work properly in in Beta 2. It does catch links if you enable advanced browser integration as if you were trying to use Chrome in the IDM browser selection menu. It will not work for flash though. The last build with flash downloading is Beta 1.

They do put more effort into stability than their competitors though. I'd rather wait for a stable default browser, Have you noticed since the inception of 4.0 series that they are rock solid aside from some addons. I have been using alpha with no issues!

Pity, I was pretty happy with beta 2 so far. Will it be fixed, or is it up to IDm?
