Hmm do you know what page it is off hand? Closest thing I found was on page 8, but it made them exactly like the active tabs.

#TabsToolbar > .toolbarbutton-1:not(#alltabs-button):not(#new-tab-button) {
  -moz-appearance: none !important;
  margin: 0 !important;
  padding: 0 !important;
  background-repeat: no-repeat !important;
  background-size: 200% !important;
  -moz-border-image: url("chrome://browser/skin/tabbrowser/tab.png") 4 5 3 6 / 4px 5px 3px 6px !important;
  -moz-border-radius: 10px 8px 0 0 !important;
}

.tabbrowser-tab:not([selected="true"]),
.tabs-newtab-button,
#TabsToolbar > .toolbarbutton-1:not(#alltabs-button):not(#new-tab-button)  {
  background-position: -5px -2px !important;
  background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top,#D2D2D2,
                                   rgba(151,160,172,.70)),
                    -moz-linear-gradient(bottom, rgba(0,0,0,.6) 25%, rgba(0,0,0,0) 75%) !important;
}

.tabbrowser-tab:not([selected="true"]):hover,
.tabs-newtab-button:hover,
#TabsToolbar > .toolbarbutton-1:not(#alltabs-button):not(#new-tab-button):hover {
  background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top,rgba(198,201,206,.8),
                                   rgba(100,100,100,.8)),
                    -moz-linear-gradient(bottom, rgba(0,0,0,.8) 20%, rgba(0,0,0,0) 60%) !important;
}

.tabbrowser-tab:not([selected="true"]) {
  text-shadow: 0 1px 0 rgba(255,255,255,0.3) !important;
}

Thank you so much! Now I really like Firefox Beta, as I couldn't stand the transparent inactive tabs (so hard to read em).

I was also wondering is Firefox beta2 going slow for anyone? It seems to respond pretty slow. I assume this is because it's just beta and has lots of bugs to work out. Just seems very "bloated" atm.

Don't say thanks , after all its Friendship day :)

Hmm , don't know why its slow @ that end , btw you are comparing it with 3.6 or chrome or beta 1? Definitely its slower than chrome , and not significantly faster than beta 1 (might be bit slower). Anyways , try a fresh profile or try "safemode" to detect the culprit addons

1. How come some add on downloads give me a connection failure error? Is it because they aren't compatible with beta 2? I have the compatibility reporter add on installed.

For me I have Flashgot and IDM, when I go into the addon page I force download the file onto my computer with Flashgot, rather than letting Firefox do it, then I double click on the downloaded file, and Firefox accepts it this way. Works for me.

Well 3.6 even seems to seem more "snappy" in terms of how the back/forward buttons work etc. I'm not going to compare it to chrome as that's blazing fast atm.

Is there a timeline for when everything will start reacting faster on the browser? Just seems to be very slow atm. :(

EDIT: After running safemode, it definitely seems to be going a lot faster.

Not sure what would be causing it though... I have 4 add-ons. Feedback (disabled), Firesizer (disabled), Stylish, and Firefox Sync. Is it possible Sync is slowing it down? It seems to be going slightly faster since I disabled it for now.

Hmm , can't help @ this. But yeah , after beta 5/6 (sept), D2D , Jaeger Monkey and other performance improvements will land , which will definitely make it super fast!?

Yeah, I can't wait for Jaeger Monkey. I am eagerly waiting for those. :)

I think it's just me being used to Chrome for so long and needing to adjust to Firefox again, as it won't be very fast until those land like you said.

I have a annoying problem with the 4.x Minefields that persisted since the first build I used way before Beta 1. I started with a fresh profile so it can't be due to some FF 3.6 quirks.

Basically my toolbar layout resets itself every second launch. I would like to have my Stop/Reload buttons on the right side of the URL bar, if I move them there and close Minefield and open it again they stay where I moved them, if I close and relaunch Minefield a second time the Stop/Reload buttons move itself back to the left side :blink:

Anybody got a idea what's going on?^^

I had a problem like that, where my Firefox was resetting everything I did a couple of months ago. What I ended up doing is completely restore windows back to it's original state and that fixed the problem for me. I tried everything, and it came down to that. :(

Does anyone know if there is a userscript to move the bookmarks star to the spot where the favicon is shown on the address bar?

Well I would rather live with my toolbar resetting then to reset Windows :p I only have to figure out how to move them via Stylish and problem solved^^

has something changed with cookies in the last couple of nightlies? I have had endless troubles logging into websites, I keep having to clear my cookies as after a while the websites I set to remember my login wont log in. or I try to log in places but all I get is a loop, I log in (it says I logged in successfully) I then continue and find out I have been instantly logged out.

Now one site is telling me my browser doesn't support cookies and to enable them. it was ok on Friday but Saturdays and Sundays builds have been crazy!

wondering if I might need a new profile :s

You have to clear your cookies to get rid of the problem, at least to get rid of it for some time.

I don't think this has been backed out yet for some odd reason.

Can anyone confirm this, on 7 when I type in "firefox.exe -profile" into the search box and press enter. It gives me a profile missing message. But the profile is intact.

Getting this error on start up

typeerror: componants.classes['@softage.ru/skype/skypeffextension;1'] is undefined

I do have skype installed, but I don't recall ever installing any skype add-ons, or being asked during the skype install. There is nothing about skype in the add-ons manager or in about:config

help :(

It's maybe listed under plugins. You could always try uninstalling and reinstalling skype, might reinstall the plugin.

Do you get any message. Mine just says "Your Firefox profile is either missing or unavailable." or whatever. Only when using Beta 2 though.

Sorry, I did check plugins too, no mention of it there either. I'll give reinstalling it a shot.

You're talking about any windows search box, right? I click start and paste firefox.exe -profile in there, and it shows up in the list, no message.

Yeah the 7 box, after you paste it in, press Enter. Does anything come up then.

Well it's not highlighted in the list, so hitting enter does nothing, but if I click firefox.exe -profile in the list my skype error pops up again lol and then a new firefox window opens when I click OK to dismiss the error

So obviously the reinstall didn't work, even though I deselected the ff and ie plugin options, fingers crossed uninstalling first will work.

EDIT: Ah Ha!!! Just seen Skype Toolbars in Programs and Features.

OK, Skype error is gone :) So now, after pasting firefox.exe -profile and hitting enter, a new firefox window opens.

What is that supposed to do, run firefox with a clean profile?
