Chasethebase Reporter Posted July 27, 2010 Reporter Share Posted July 27, 2010 I presume the Beta 1 will automatically update soon. I hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewism Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Any omnibar version that works with b2? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/8823/ v0.7 works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPilipo Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Is there a way to make Firefox "remember" apptabs and reopen them at launch? I thought it was supposed to work like that (like in chrome) but it isn't, at least for me. I'm using beta 2 on W7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted July 27, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted July 27, 2010 Any omnibar version that works with b2? I was able to use the address bar like the one in Chrome with Beta 2, don't know if that's new (just type things in it and it searches in google).

SnoopZ Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 How do you enable 'app tabs' in this? As i don't have the options like the video does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LightShadow Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 How do you enable 'app tabs' in this? As i don't have the options like the video does. Right-click a tab, click "Make into App Tab". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnoopZ Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Tab mix plus was the offending addon stopping it fom showing up, but how do i make the 'app tabs' stay as app tabs, because closing Firefox resets it all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaoxt Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Does anyone know how Firefox 4.0 downloads section is going to look? I've seen a few mockups where it has like a popup by bookmarks area, but wasn't sure if it was going to have it's own tab as well like how Chrome does it. Haven't seen much info for it.

fr33k Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Can the tabs bar be moved to the bottom like in this screenshot? I was using Maxthon v1.46 untill a few weeks ago, but now that someone has made drag and drop text and links for firefox and a scrollable bookmarks menu as well as some other nice add-ons firefox has finally become useful for me. I think tabs mix plus is what is putting the tabs at the bottom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoyoS Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Is it just me or is the font rendering different on Windows 7? Seems a lot thinner... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Udedenkz Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 (edited) Beta 2 definitely loads pages faster than 1 for me. Anyone know if d2d is worth enabling yet? or it it still buggy as hell? EDIT: stylish 1.0.10 stopped working for me (was working fine in beta 1) is there a version that works in beta 2??? D2D is a bit quicker than the previous beta but it still delays the initial launch of the browser by a good 10-15 seconds. I wish I knew what it was doing. D2D is significantly slower than in Beta 1. Wait for Beta 3 or 4... it probably will be fixed by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omganinja Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I hope apptabs are actually going to be functional in the final build. Pressing home on the neowin apptab should not take me back to google, it should take me to neowin home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperAFK Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Yeah in both the latest trunk and beta 2 enabling directwrite massively rapes firefox's startup time. But its at least usable now once firefox is started. Previously enabling it would make firefox's gui unusably laggy. My main gripe with directwrite is the fonts look pretty atrocious... Is it just me or is the font rendering different on Windows 7? Seems a lot thinner... Sounds like you have directwrite enabled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richrecruiter Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 What happened to aero on the navigation bar and bookmarks bar in Beta 2? It's gone :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V23 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 What happened to aero on the navigation bar and bookmarks bar in Beta 2? It's gone :( There's a stylish script that does this but I can't find the link it's called 'Transparent finder and buttons background' and is made by someone else. On a separate matter, is it possible to do the following: - Make google.com into an app tab - When I do a google search from the app tab I would like it to open the results in a new tab and also clear the search box in the app tab so that I can reuse the app tab with ease Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperAFK Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Firefox is significantly slower with DirectWrite enabled. How the font is rendered looks just fine to me though. Seemed the same if not faster for me in beta 2 and the latest trunk. Beta 1 and previous though it was as you described. VERY slow. For me the font rendering is horribad. Very thin fon ts that are hard to read. Steam uses directwrite also and the fonts look different but not nearly as bad as in firefox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrrgh Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Sites in my bookmarks are highlighted and I'm wondering if this a problem or a feature? That would be a bug, to be more specific: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=579264 It was fixed a few days after the beta2 was cut off.

For me the font rendering is horribad. Very thin fon ts that are hard to read. Steam uses directwrite also and the fonts look different but not nearly as bad as in firefox. Beta 2 has new rendering code which speed up loading times and scrolling significantly, this is what you are experiencing. EDIT: There have been many jury-rig fixes for D2D/DW recently (to get rid of vertical lines, to make D2D compatible with the new rendering code) which slow things down significantly.

WigglesTheFish Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Really not a fan of the tab on top theme on OS X. Though I like the idea, I really wish the could be modified via Stylish to be placed into the title bar space like I'm seeing in the Windows screenies in this and the customization thread. It seriously looks like a less refined version of the GrApple Crisp theme, but I am hopeful that it'll get the same capabilities as the Windows version, or it simply gets more refinement.

EDIT: There have been many jury-rig fixes for D2D/DW recently (to get rid of vertical lines, to make D2D compatible with the new rendering code) which slow things down significantly. Yeah, they're running into a whole bunch of Direct2D limitations, and are having to work around them. To implement some Porter-Duff compositing operations they're going to be using Direct3D, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dapen Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Updated to beta 2, still ugly then. I'll likely head back to IE when IE9 is out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
