Darrian Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 We've had the new progress throbbers for days now. Yes, they look pretty. Now, can I please have my effing progress lines back? WTF?

The_Decryptor Veteran Posted October 16, 2010 Veteran Share Posted October 16, 2010 J?gerMonkey has "crossed the streams", which means that in it's base configuration it's now faster than Safari on SunSpider and the v8 benchmark. There seems to be an issue that makes J?gerMonkey+TraceMonkey (i.e. the default setting) slower on SunSpider than plain J?gerMonkey, but that doesn't effect the v8 suite. At this point Firefox 4 is 13ms slower than Chrome on SunSpider, which is less that 1/60th of a second to put that into perspective.

Those aren't coming back most likely. Going to have to use Fission or some type of addon to get em back.

Deo Domuique Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Get the Add-On Status4Evah. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/235283/ It gives you back the old status-bar and also Progress-Line and some other options.

Darrian Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 But I don't want the old status bar, it was crap and good riddance it's gone. Those aren't coming back most likely. Going to have to use Fission or some type of addon to get em back. Why on earth would they ever have wanted to remove them? They were working fine and finished, it doesn't make any sense to go back to the old style. Surely the jackass that decided that was a good idea has some sort of blog where he explains why they would want to regress and what drugs he was taking?

Surely the jackass that decided that was a good idea has some sort of blog where he explains why they would want to regress and what drugs he was taking? AskVG.com is a well known news & web blog site. On his site he wrote a front page article entitled "What I hate about Firefox 4", he lists progress bars, removal of status bar, and removal of rss icon in address bar. He goes on to say that Mozilla should listen to what we supposedly want and revert back those changes. Now he just finished an article about how they listened to him and reverted progress bars, just like he wanted. I said it before, alot of ignorance in alpha & beta testers about their role, to test the software and report back to the developer, not use a major website to blog and try and influence developers with negative news articles and using headlines like "Hate about Firefox 4", which is not a finished product.! http://www.askvg.com/things-i-hate-about-mozilla-firefox-4-0/ Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/896934-meet-firefox-401/page/111/#findComment-593271348 Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Decryptor Veteran Posted October 16, 2010 Veteran Share Posted October 16, 2010 They removed the progress bars because they sucked, they just weren't that well implemented, didn't work well and didn't look that good.

Duke D Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 The tab progressbars were awesome. The new little circle sucks. No idea why they decided to change it. On a related note, does anyone have a working greasemonkey? Mine broke about 2-3 nightlies ago.

Ci7 Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 When the 64bit build becomes an officially supported release, the ability to run a 32bit plugin with a 64bit host will come with that. you sure?! i don't renumber it was part of their plan , maybe now that it won't be for Fx 4.0 they could do it?

The_Decryptor Veteran Posted October 16, 2010 Veteran Share Posted October 16, 2010 They've done it for the OS X build (It's not a 32bit/64bit universal binary), the main base work is done, all that's left is hooking the logic and such up for Windows.
