Glassed Silver Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Ahhh, custom icons. I've never figured taht one out. Copy a picture (from your browser, within Preview, etc... the PICTURE, not the file... so... the displayed pixels ;D) - preferably a *.png, due to transparency. Right click the app, select Get info, click on the icon (top left) so it's surrounded with a blue glowing. Paste by pressing Apple+V. Done. Enjoy (Y) Mind you: for Apple icons you will need special software. :( CandyBar for example.

iwod Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Things for Post Beta 8, Another New Post concerning I/O http://shawnwilsher.com/archives/473 Basically you will get less I/O blocking with your UI elements such as AwesomeBar , bookmarks, history etc. Then there are a group of memory bugs, once fixed should lower the total memory of current nighties by 30 - 50%. Compartmental GC for beta 9. Some additional JavaScript Enchantment and tidy up. Those who have used the latest nighties will know Firefox 4.0 will be a great release.

DrCheese Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 engineering teams are engaging in The Great Re-triage of all existing blockers * already 100 bugs taken off the list * focus is on cutting back feature set and shipping what we have * may move some features to be behind preferences in order to get to completion * will be able to estimate time to product completion after this could this mean that we will get firefox 4 final sooner now? still possibly in Q1 2011? i hope so :D I'm glad that they are re-evaluating what is needed and what isn't, as 4.0 really does need to get out as soon as possible. I deployed Firefox 3.6 at work last week for our Post 16 students to use for testing web designs in muliple browsers and I was shocked at just how dated and far behind it looks now. Dump some features, hold them back for Firefox 4.5 or something :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/896934-meet-firefox-401/page/138/#findComment-593497600 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DexMorgan Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 They've pretty much revaluated list of blockers. Here's some more info: In a coordinated effort, the Firefox and Platform engineering teams wrapped up the last of our blocker re-triage events, reducing the overall blocker count by an AMAZING 353 BUGS! This is an approximate decrease of 35-40% from our original blocker bug count. Blocker bugs are those which must be killed before we can ship the product. The bug count reduction above includes those that we've moved to the next release, decided just shouldn't block, and some that we've dropped entirely. Of course, this is a fuzzy metric as not all bugs are created equal, but this is a huge step forward as now we have a ton more clarity into the release. http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.planning/browse_thread/thread/03ad5db75a5a0e06# Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/896934-meet-firefox-401/page/138/#findComment-593498000 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DexMorgan Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I'd say get beta8 and find out yourself. I've been using it since beta1 and while up to b5-b6 it had some annoying issues (flash especially) - since b7 it's getting way better. Installed beta8 today and it feels VERY fast.

dnast Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I've been using the nightlies for quite some time and haven't had a problem in weeks. I wouldn't recommend installing on family members' computers though.

Well, I have not really had any issues since beta7, but I still would say "no." One example is that TurboTax doesn't work with Fx4, unless you pretend to be Fx3. So I would at least install user-agent switcher if you are going to put it on family's computers.

Thanks for the info :D Now something personal :/ i find as if software giants are now using "Meet XYZ" inspired from this thread :p see : Meet Firefox Meet Opera 11 *note for ppl from future : idk if its the same for u also* Back to topic , now we have ~478 total blocking bugs! (as mentioned by iwod) , which makes Q1 release realistic to me Also , site AWFY 2 now has a small note This is a beta preview of a new AWFY. We added the Kraken benchmark and Google's Crankshaft engine to the mix. We'll be adding a legend and a line for our type inference engine shortly after the new year. In the meantime, enjoy the holidays! -dvander Sounds good :D and we got a 2% win in SS and 3% in v8 :cool: Update Bookmark Star Icon has now landed !

Rudy Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I've been using Minefield for quite a while now and the only thing that REALLY bothers me is the stupid "tab group"...

Chaltalian Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Meh, I prefer the older mockup style more. Same. The shade of yellow looked a bit better.

adiopse Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 well nobody in my family uses turbotax so that isnt a issue for me if i get firefox 4. That was just an example of something that wouldn't work. All my websites work fine with Fx4, but certain websites (such as TT) may artificially limit you from using an unreleased browser. Heck, for a few months after Fx4 is released, sites will probably still restrict its use by browser agent string. Just a heads up.
