Yakuzing Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 If you had read the last page of this thread, where you also made a post, you would know how to do it... @kilara1988 The site is too dodgy to post here - it uses software from http://templateshares.net/ - (DO NOT type TS Special edition 7.2 in google or you will find such sites :s) As mentioned by others it is a feature and I will refer to macel's posts for disabling information I have another problem. For a long time I have been able to type in for example "imdb <moviename>" and be sent directly to the right imdb page. Recently I discovered that it is no longer working. I was told to go to http://kb.mozillazine.org/Keyword.URL#Possible_values_and_their_effects I found that it does not provide me with any fix. I tried to insert one of the suggested urls into the keyword.URL - it still just sent me to the new engine's search page when typing "imdb <moviename>". keyword.URL;empty keyword.enabled;true I solved the problem by adding the google address to keyword.URL which I found at http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config_entries Richard Hammond 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arrrgh Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Oops, missed the last post.. Anyway, phuzi0n on Mozillazine made a comparison after the last text rendering changes (component alpha). The left side is the old comparison and the right side is comparing the previous improvement on top to the current rendering in middle and the difference on bottom. As you can see, the text in the mid right (current rendering) is drastically better. Kirkburn and Richard Hammond 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arrrgh Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Hey guys, is there a way to reset the default fonts without having to uninstall? about:config filter for "font" and then sort by status for convenience and reset (right click -> reset) everything that is bolded ("user set") Richard Hammond and bmdixon 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbie Khan Reviews Posted January 30, 2011 Reviews Share Posted January 30, 2011 Anyone have any tweaks to get FireFTP working on BETA10/Minefield? I have tried a modded version for FF4 which installs but you cannot modify account settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Decryptor Veteran Posted January 31, 2011 Veteran Share Posted January 31, 2011 Oops, missed the last post..

The left side is the old comparison and the right side is comparing the previous improvement on top to the current rendering in middle and the difference on bottom. As you can see, the text in the mid right (current rendering) is drastically better. There's still a problem with the gamma in the manual compositing path (i.e. component alpha and drawing text to an transparent surface), which can result in some fairly crazy colours.

I can now type imdb <Search term> and it searches for it using IMDB :s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Decryptor Veteran Posted February 1, 2011 Veteran Share Posted February 1, 2011 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=626293 I'm not actually sure if it does affect the component alpha rendering stuff, I experimented with it yesterday after posting and I got conflicting results (so most likely it was just the way the API behaves) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kilara1988 Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I have been using FF nightly for some time and it's stable enough to use it as my main browser.Maybe i will continue using FF nightly(or Beta at least) even after FF 4 is officially released.

Malisk Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Firefox 4 is starting to feel like Gmail, perpetually in Beta :/ Not for much longer though. :) The plan was all along to have many betas this time, for good user feedback. But we're finally getting to the last planned one now. :p Next up, 10 release candidates! Haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torrentthief Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 down to 102 bugs left, "do not track" has been added to the latest nightly which is a nice addition, can't wait for beta 11 as beta 10 freezes alot, same with beta 9. Beta 8 was way better than 9+10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozgeek Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I have just replaced my aging version 3 of Firefox with the latest Firefox 4 beta and I'm excatly loving it. Less extensions to do what my previous firefox install had achieved with around 50 extensions. But there are some problems which I have sent to the feedback centre. - how do I make search results open in a new tab and not in the current tab. - With tightly packed menus, it has made Aero Snap impossible. I had always draged to de-maximize. It's possble butI have to contentrate on finding free space on the tabbar like the bit under the orange home menu button. - If I suspect a link in a website, I always hover over the link and see the real link in the statusbar in the older versions. Where is this? - When in the Addons Manager, and in the Get Addons. I see the addons homepage, then I click an addon to learn more about that addon but I found I can not return to the addon homepage. The back button goes through the other tabs in the manager but will not revert the actual "Get Addon's" history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirkburn Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 The target of hovered link is now moved to the awesomebar. Did you mean that? It's been in the awesomebar for a while in the betas. Judging by the screen shots fonts look really awkward still... :/ xan K's screenshot looks slightly resized to me. Pressing alt to get the toolbar has better text for me than that (on beta 10).
