Pow Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Where do i put: browser.tabs.animate;false I'm not sure how to do this lol Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/896934-meet-firefox-401/page/118/#findComment-593323754 Share on other sites More sharing options...
darth_vader Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 Type about:config in your address bar, search for browser.tabs.animate and make it false by double clicking it.

Udedenkz Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 (edited) I installed minefield, because it's very customizable, but why is it so laggy? I mean actually everything is so slow, opening tabs, going to sites. When clicking it takes ages to open a new tab. Yet in the old firefox, it's much better. Even IE for me is faster than this beta firefox. Is there any fixes? Firefox 4 is currently slower at scrolling compared to Firefox3.6 without Direct2D assistance. One solution might be not to use a netbook at the moment. The other solution would be to wait for Beta 8 or 9...

iwod Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I think Firefox 4 will make users come come back from Chrome. The performance on Minefield has been great. Beta 7 soon, no bugs left.

revanmj Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I think Firefox 4 will make users come come back from Chrome. The performance on Minefield has been great. Beta 7 soon, no bugs left. When I see how long is Firefox's development process and how they are throwing features out to make it ready on time I think I'm not going to come back. They are making a nice mockups, but when it comes to do it in reality it doesn't look so well anymore.

torrentthief Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 lets hope beta 7 is out today, wouldn't mind giving it a whirl! Is there an extension to remove the glass effect from the tabs as i use black background on xp which makes the tabs grey and the text black, its hard to read, hoping an extension can remove the glass for tabs.

Kirkburn Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 They are making a nice mockups, but when it comes to do it in reality it doesn't look so well anymore. Remember, polish doesn't come until late in development cycles. There's no point polishing something that's quite likely to still be changing. lets hope beta 7 is out today, wouldn't mind giving it a whirl! Is there an extension to remove the glass effect from the tabs as i use black background on xp which makes the tabs grey and the text black, its hard to read, hoping an extension can remove the glass for tabs. There's a glass effect on XP? Anyway, I believe the tabs on Aero are no longer transparent.

torrentthief Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I wonder whether more features will be added into beta 8, last i read they were thinking about it. I'd prefer they stop with new features and just bug fix so that we can get 4.0 out as soon as possible. Firefox has gotten faster since the oct 28th build according to arewefastyet.com, its crazy how fast firefox 4 will be, i just got used to the tradeoff of features compared to speed that i'd get with chrome, now i can have features and also crazy speed. I hope the ram problems will be solved with multiple tabs, earlier betas used about 40% more ram for me :( 1 critical bug relating to yahoo mail (non-classic) not working on beta 7 is blocking beta 7 :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/896934-meet-firefox-401/page/118/#findComment-593331344 Share on other sites More sharing options...

torrentthief Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 up to 3 blockers now, i get the feeling more bugs will be found for a while. I'd just ship beta 7 with the yahoo mail bug fixed and leave the other 2 for beta 8, its been so long since the last beta, its better to let people try a pretty stable build for a change.

That includes Compartmental GC, which still has long list of bugs and not even turned on yet. ( Expect even more after it has been on ) JM and Tracemonkey bug fixing. A few more performance related bug and that is all. A few IO bugs left. A bug fixing on GPU accelerated Render. Getting all these features on and working will require two betas and one RC to make sure everything works. That is months of work in there.... ><:pinch::pinch: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/896934-meet-firefox-401/page/118/#findComment-593335580 Share on other sites More sharing options...
