xankazo Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Replying to a post to how Firefox plan to speed up their release times, directly talking about Chrome's faster release cycle, you're saying it's hilarious how slow they will be? Are you from the future? You just saw what you wanted to see. I was just trying to mock Chrome's unnecessary bumping up version numbers. A new version number every six weeks? If an application is version 10.0 and the other is 5.0, IMO it doesn't mean anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, I just interpreted it the other way around :p Agreed, version numbers don't inherently mean a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomoko Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I assume the majority of people (myself included) don't drag windows all that much. Besides, to use aero snap just use the keyboard shortcuts (much easier): Windows key (held down) + up arrow = maximise Windows key (held down) + down arrow = minimise Windows key (held down) + left arrow = snap to left side of screen Windows key (held down) + right arrow = snap to right side of screen Real keyboards don't have Windows keys. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven P. Administrators Posted January 25, 2011 Administrators Share Posted January 25, 2011 Notable speed improvements in 1/25 nightly build, start-up as well as page loads! Just applied it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dnast Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Hey that's neat. It's translucent by default now? Yep :) Also, it looks like they gave in and decided to add an overlay in the bottom-left corner, Chrome style, for status messages.

Yusuf M. Veteran Posted January 25, 2011 Veteran Share Posted January 25, 2011 Beta 10 is in the /releases/ folder on the Mozilla ftp server now. http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/4.0b10/ The font rendering looks a little better but the browser is still noticeably slow. I'm a long-time user of Chrome so I guess I'm accustomed to using a fast browser. The UI changes and other features make it a browser worth using.

torrentthief Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 beta 10 is the same as beta 10 build 1 btw. Can a moderator change the title to beta 10 please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corris Veteran Posted January 25, 2011 Veteran Share Posted January 25, 2011 While it was fine in the beginning, Beta 9 seems to get slower and slower when there is flash content on the page, I get a lot of complete freezes now. beta 10 is the same as beta 10 build 1 btw. Do we know when is Beta 10 going to arrive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee G. Veteran Posted January 25, 2011 Veteran Share Posted January 25, 2011 I know it's really trivial, but the blue line underneath the active tab is annoying me. It wasn't there before. Other than that I haven't noticed really noticed any difference to beta 9. Like Anaron has said, it's still noticeably slow compared to Chrome.

Kyang Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Finally. Putting it in the address bar was retarded. Why was it retarded? I don't really have an opinion on the matter, but I am curious as to what the pro-s and cons supposedly are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neowin doesn't seem to take me to the last unread post any more and just takes me randomly somewhere between what I last read and the end of the topic so I usually miss a bunch of posts.

I don't really have an opinion on the matter, but I am curious as to what the pro-s and cons supposedly are. Years and years of being used to a status bar/links being shown in a status bar. It's quite a large behavioural change. You can understand Google hiding the status bar until it needs to show something, but completely changing the status bar to show in the address bar is far different. siyama 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mad_onion Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I'm sure it's great on a reasonable pc but my netbook can't handle firefox lol. I'll try it again when I get a new Fusion based one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aznkid25 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 Does Firefox 4 store any cache files anymore? Whenever I run CCleaner to clear my browser cache in firefox 4 beta 10, it doesn't find any files that need to be deleted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
