LittleNeutrino Veteran Posted March 3, 2011 Veteran Share Posted March 3, 2011 not really sure why they are calling change system requirements page a hardblocker does not really sound like it is something that is going to prevent them from releasing the RC ?

Kirkburn Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 What the hell did they make the tabs larger for? They look horrible. Here Mozilla goes again, changing things just for the sake of change. Did you miss the last twenty posts where various people said they like them? Alright, you liked the previous ones. Which didn't match Fx3.6 anyway. You evidently don't speak for everyone. And you can customize it back if you must. My personal view: I'm happy with it. The extra height might be just a little too much, but that's v minor.

Kyang Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Is anyone's mouse disappearing if left hovering over a Firefox window? :wacko: . EDIT: Nevermind, it went away after restarting Firefox.

Guest mattburles Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 they sure are taking there time with that one last blocker :sleep: if you can even call it a blocker really. just update the site by the time RC1 is out for public, plain and simple.

They will probably build tonight like they did for beta 12 and yeah the triage hasn't happened at 11:30 PST yet.. if 0 blockers are at that time we are ready to go! canweshipyet.com now says "more or less" Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/896934-meet-firefox-401/page/198/#findComment-593755216 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DexMorgan Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 YES! :) mozilla-central is CLOSED for Firefox release candidates Per the triage meeting today, mozilla-central is now CLOSED so that release engineering can prepare Firefox 4 release candidates. This means that NO CHANGES may land, even things which may have Firefox or Mobile blocker flags. Rob Sayre is preparing a plan for the mechanics of how we reopen the tree for both pending changes for Firefox Mobile 4 and new work for Firefox 5. This includes all the related details about how we manage nightly testers, branching, feature landings, and the schedule. Until this plan is finalized, the tree will remain absolutely frozen. Please direct any followup to mozilla.dev.planning. --BDS http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.planning/browse_thread/thread/9ddc565363b05692# Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/896934-meet-firefox-401/page/198/#findComment-593755442 Share on other sites More sharing options...

grayscale Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Wow, I miss all the fun. I was alone when the square tabs landed. My two cents: I don't like the height but... 1. It's square, better than rounded. 2. Obviously, there are a lot more people who wanted the extra space, and. 3. Since it's firefox, we can customize it, so it's a win win for everyone!

+Heartripper Subscriber¹ Posted March 3, 2011 Subscriber¹ Share Posted March 3, 2011 Thanks Heartripper! :woot: you're welcome! :) one great problem i have with the new tabs is that now everything else in the chrome seems too rounded for me. i've already reduced the border radius of the navbar so that it's the same as the tabs, but also buttons and the location bar seem to rounded. :/ Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/896934-meet-firefox-401/page/198/#findComment-593755652 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mancode20 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I'll just be happy if they finally fixed that annoying bookmarks menu display issue, which someone claimed wasn't in one of the recent nightlies.

kilara1988 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 It has improved greatly since beta 5-6. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/896934-meet-firefox-401/page/198/#findComment-593755686 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mancode20 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 It sure has. Beta 12 is pretty great despite the small bookmarks display issue I mentioned, and sometimes it seems like smooth scrolling is not where it should be yet. Even using the Yet Another Smooth Scrolling extension. It still sometimes feels jerky. I also wish they would give us an option to have a second bookmarks toolbar if we want without having to use an extension. All the current extensions are incompatible with version 4. Will the RC have the speed increase and recent changes that have improved memory considerably? The people that have used the nightlies say they really improved in those two key areas. Also, they say thumbnails load quicker in Panorama. Will that be in the RC? Are they ever going to officially call it Panorama, or will it forever be known as Group Your Tabs? Thanks if anyone can answer some questions! Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/896934-meet-firefox-401/page/198/#findComment-593755712 Share on other sites More sharing options...
homeboyrocketshoulders Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I must say I'm impressed with the recent progress. It was slow with a lot of missed dates during the mid betas, but they really cranked out 12 and the RC, and they're amazing. Been using the betas since 1 and some of the nightlies here and there, and I am absolutely thrilled that the RC is effectively here.

It doesn't make sense, but thanks for replying! So, it will be fixed in the RC then? What about the memory usage that is supposed to be decreased in the latest nightlies? Also, thumbnails are supposed to load faster in Panorama. I hope those fixes made it into RC!

mancode20 Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Anyone using the awesome TabGroups Manager extension know how to make your TabGroups auto-save? So when you close the browser and then open it again, all the same tabs should load within their groups. I see an export group option, which I assume might do it. Does that auto re-load it when you re-open the browser, or do you have to do it manually? I should clarify my statement. It does do what I want it to do when the session restore feature is on, but if you drag a tab off into its own window, then close that new window and go back to your original Firefox with all your grouped tabs, it won't remember that setting when you close it and re-open it. Instead of loading all your same tabs, it'll start fresh and open a TabGroup named Start. I don't want it to do that. Any fix for that?
