jshimmy3 Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 This beta has been horrible for me, it's much slower than Beta 4, I'm having (even more) trouble w/ flash content, and it won't remember my homepage! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrian Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 A minor issue, to be sure, but I'm playing around with personas and the "persona" is actually drawn starting 2 pixels above the window border. This is "normal" behavior (i.e. it occurs with or without my Stylish scripts running, so it's not any script causing it, though it may be related to using Clearscreen for my visual style instead of Aero). Does anybody have a script to reposition it lower? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radwimp Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Seems good here although still flash issues (as usual) and tab animations are noticeably lagging which is new for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Udedenkz Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 (edited) Some D3D + D2D bug fixes have landed which should allow better performance with both D2D and D3D. Not yet in nightlies as of post. This beta has been horrible for me, it's much slower than Beta 4, I'm having (even more) trouble w/ flash content, and it won't remember my homepage! lol If I recall correctly, they frozen it before landing some quality performance fixes.

Xerxes Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Decided to give Firefox another go (been a long time Firefox user but switched to Chrome after about FF 3.5). It's not bad, it's definitely come along way since 3.5 although I have to admit the UI still feels really busy (I'm so used to Chrome's simple and minimalistic UI) but I can adjust. It feels heaps faster too, Chrome still feels faster overall on my PC but FF is definitely not far behind (Y). When FF 4.0 hits final there is a good chance I *might* switch back from Chrome :) we'll see how things progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackhearted Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 So i see the bug that i seen all the way back in beta 1 with the new UI is still here even in beta5. And that bug is that, randomly, and somewhat rarely, after(as far as i can tell atm) alt-tabbing out of a game or 3d app the title bar goes all wierd, the top right buttons(close, etc) disappear, and the tabs go all out of whack.

mNiosu Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 A minor issue, to be sure, but I'm playing around with personas and the "persona" is actually drawn starting 2 pixels above the window border.

Does anybody have a script to reposition it lower? If your scripts are disabled how come your tabs are on top? :) Are you sure that the "#main-window {margin-top: -"xx"px !important;}" stylish script isn't the issue there?

Darrian Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I didn't disable the scripts for the screenshot, I disabled them to verify that they weren't causing the problem before I went asking for help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escobar_ Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Does clearing out the browser cache help? No. I removed every single trace of Firefox from my computer, reinstalled it and it didn't help. I guess we'll just have to wait for Beta 6 to arrive.

Zickar Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Personally I love Firefox . I have used Chrome , IE , Firefox and shortly Opera and Flock as well as many others but Firefox remains my favorite despite how slow some people say it is compared to others ... Anyway back to tabs I think the most innovative so far has been IE9 with a snapshot I saw the other day where the URL Bar and the tabs were on the same line right next to each other and the search and location bar are all together .. IMO this makes more sense and is a more clever change rather than the "Lets move the tabs up" quick change for the sake of change .. I still don't see what tabs on top is useful for and Even though the screen shots from the IE9 might be fake but the approach is a clever one and maybe FF should pick it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesCherrill Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Maybe I'm missing something here, but why can't I get things stacked the way I want: 1 Firefox menu button/window title 2 Bookmarks toolbar 3 Tabs 4 Navigation toolbar I get the logic for tabs on top, but the same logic says the bookmarks toolbar should be above the tabs. But when I try to put it there it gets appended to the menu bar, and, since I'm using the new menu button not the old bar, when I hide the menu bar my bookmarks toolbar disappears with it. Can anyone help? thanks ps Why does the UK English spelling dictionary not have the word "Firefox"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Minefield for example I still can't add a bookmark by dragging it into the bookmarks toolbar .. So maybe its a bug they'll fix before the official release Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M_A_D Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Beta 5 seems to have a problem with animated .gif-files. They all seem to restart after the first few frames, never playing completely. Example: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FiB3R Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 What is bad exactly? If you're talking about the text on the tabs and toolbar, that is going to be fixed. If you're talking about the text on the webpage, you should try the cleartype tuner. That's mine on the right. Glad to hear about the tabs, not sure why I should use the cleartype tuner, the rest of my apps look totally fine. Both left and right are fuzzy, the middle one looks about right Left is mine with hardware acceleration on , middle is mine with hardware acceleration off. @ M_A_D .gif's working fine here.
