kilara1988 Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Is there a way to fix the bad font rendering without sacrificing hardware acceleration or any performance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P. Administrators Posted November 23, 2010 Administrators Share Posted November 23, 2010 OK annoying thing with the latest nightlies (past week or so) is that c/p from formatted text into a RTE doesn't retain any of the formatting: This is the text I copied in Minefield: This is the result (after clicking the source button: Any idea what's causing it, as it makes posting software news very frustrating! I worked up until just over a week ago fine in Minefield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven P. Administrators Posted November 24, 2010 Administrators Share Posted November 24, 2010 No, the HTML isn't formatted properly, its just one long line of code. Also adding a link gives me this in Minefield: (doesn't even work) When it should look like this: (In Chrome) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirkburn Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 It could potentially be an incompatibility within the editor itself (e.g. it's not detecting Fx4, thus sending Fx3.6 specific stuff). It looks like that editor might be CKEditor - could check the forums at http://cksource.com/forums/ (I work with a heavily modified version of CK at work, and Fx4 is meaning we need to review some possible issues - we don't have yours though, likely because ours is so heavily modified). Otherwise, I suggest a bugzilla check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adiopse Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Opera 11 has introduced their version of tab candy: http://images.dailytech.com/nimage/17604_large_Opera_11_Tab_Preview.png Any thoughts? I think tab candy is more powerful, but the way Opera does it definitely has its advantages. Maybe FF4 could do both. It's kind of a tab candy "lite."

I like Opera's version better because for my use, it's more practical and functional. I just never really understood the point of having to navigate to an entirely different page just to access a group of tabs you've made. To each his own though. For power users, I'm sure Tab Candy will be better received. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDT Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 For me, FFb7 is slow as hell compared to Chrome... At least at website rendering. Also, the damn greasemonkey add-on doesn't work on this. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ambiance Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I really wish they would scrap the focus prompt because it's too slow. Mozilla should take notes from Google as they did the same with their menu fade in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With firefox the competition is really good, they might not be able to create the fastest but they can make the nicest and best one to customize. People can tune firefox for speed but the development team should still be aiming for speed and reliability because the now it's sluggish and crashes from time to time. Hopefully they can get it up to speed, get it fully reliable and then we can see some decent theme's coming out for it and some custom versions like palemoon.

PreKe Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 I like Opera's version better because for my use, it's more practical and functional. I just never really understood the point of having to navigate to an entirely different page just to access a group of tabs you've made. Panorama ("Tab Candy") is more powerful and flexible. Tab stacking is simpler and possibly slightly easier to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperAFK Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 I think opera's tab stacking is significantly easier to use with < 20-30 tabs. Ideally there'd be a combination of the two where you can stack tabs on the tab bar like opera and also have a separate window for advanced management like tab candy. I do think opera's method can be significantly better than tab candy all around if some automation is implemented like automatic stacking by domain, automatic stacking of links opened from a certain tab (ie does this with color grouping) and automatic stacking when the tab bar has > X number of tabs.

I think it reminds me a lot of that Firefox add-on tree style tabs, with some more polish. On a separate note, I think I would rather see more work done in pinning things to the taskbar like IE9.

Definitely. Opera 11 is coming along nicely! The Final version I bet will be out before Internet Explorer 9 or Firefox 4 Final. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iwod Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 I wont be leaving firefox unless some other browsers have awesome bar. I found it too indispensable. Sometimes i just wish Chrome or Opera has Awesome bar clone as well. ( Google I am Lucky is not a replacement for Awesome bar) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 I hope that with B8 the UI lag is fixed. So far the lack of responsiveness of the UI is what annoys me the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corris Veteran Posted November 27, 2010 Veteran Share Posted November 27, 2010 Anyone else get a strange kind of phantom tab, it closes but leaves a little grey line next to the nearest tab and is technically still open. You can move it around, create its own window etc, but you can't close it without closing the window it is on, strange issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes there's a tab stuck in Panorama that doesn't show up anywhere else, or other times, a tab will just be stuck on the tab bar, and refuse to close.

th3rEsa Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 It is a pity that Mozilla is taking Chrome's ugliest GUI crimes (no status bar, WTF?) as a part of their "improvements". Having to install add-ons to get back functionality sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
