Xeon 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. :blink: Playing around with the beta now though I've gotten really accustomed to Chrome. I hate switching browsers so much! err :devil: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/896934-meet-firefox-401/page/52/#findComment-592965134 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P. Administrators Posted July 28, 2010 Administrators Share Posted July 28, 2010 One really annoying issue I have is that sometimes when I am posting, browsing Neowin, the Leaderboard ad (the one in the header of Neowin) sometimes loads in a blank page, so I have to press back. I have AdBlock installed, but Neowin is obviously white-listed, and funnily enough I haven't experienced the same problem on other whitelisted sites. This only happens in the beta versions of Firefox (not the proper 3.x release).

pezzonovante Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I'm having a strange problem. The Hotmail website is being displayed in Tahoma font instead of the usual Segoe UI on Windows 7. This problem is not present in IE8 and Chrome. Is this a bug?

Pupik Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 What happened to the porn mode (or "Private Browsing" :whistle:) in the betas? Did Mozilla dropped it?

LightShadow Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 What happened to the porn mode (or "Private Browsing" :whistle:) in the betas? Did Mozilla dropped it? Private browsing is still in there. But you need to use "Alt" to get the menu to find the option. The Firefox button has hardly any options in atm.

DrCheese Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Am I right when I say there's no way of fixing this yet? (The space above the "Minefield" button) It happens when I maximise a window and also prevents me from using the "Pull" away feature of windows 7 to move a maximised window if I click above the button. I did try finding info about it on the FF forum but I have no idea what it's called. I'm on the latest nightly Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/896934-meet-firefox-401/page/52/#findComment-592967604 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrCheese Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 hmmm might be it... I don't have stylish or greasemonkey active anymore but I have in the past...

SnoopZ Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 The sidebar has a bug in this version, 99% of the time it's all blurry on both my computers as if the screen isn't in its native resolution.

Rhialto Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I usually have 15-20 tabs open all the time... I like the fact that when I shutdown Firefox and restart, all tabs are back. Hopefully the transition from 3.6.8 to 4 will keep all my tabs (but just in cas I guess I should take a screen shot).

DrCheese Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 if you have a custom windows theme set its possible that that is causing the issue (just a thought) aha! That's it. Whist I don't have a custom theme set, I do turn off border padding under "Window color and appearance" I personally prefer to not have horrible big borders around my Aero windows :p When I set it back to the default (4) I don't get this I've logged it on Bugzilla... https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=582819 I know I'm "customising" my Windows UI, but it should be able to be fixed in firefox ya?

The_Decryptor Veteran Posted July 29, 2010 Veteran Share Posted July 29, 2010 One really annoying issue I have is that sometimes when I am posting, browsing Neowin, the Leaderboard ad (the one in the header of Neowin) sometimes loads in a blank page, so I have to press back. I have AdBlock installed, but Neowin is obviously white-listed, and funnily enough I haven't experienced the same problem on other whitelisted sites. This only happens in the beta versions of Firefox (not the proper 3.x release). It's a problem due to the interaction between some of the AD scripts and the HTML5 parser, every so often the ad scripts will overwrite the entire page content with their code. At least I think that's what you're describing :laugh: I'm seeing an issue with the ads because of that, but it might be different.

Kaoxt Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Anyone else have Beta 2 seem sluggish? The back button etc. just seem like their slow in reaction.

ViZioN Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 According to this page: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Releases Beta 3 has slipped to a release date of August 20th. What was the original release date? How do you know it's slipped? Same problem here, but I have no extensions installed whatsoever. Never happened in 3.5 either for me, so it must be something in the beta. Good to know. I'm still experiencing it but at least now I know there's no need to start seeing if an extension is causing it.
