i think that glitch has been noted and should be fixed soon ... ish

For some reason, I can't edit my previous post. But the question I have is: does 18:00 PT mean 4PM PST is when the build will be available?

build1 available: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/4.0b3-candidates/build1/

Available: Aug 4, 18:00 PT

Great! Any new features to look forward to or just a bug fixes galore?

Well.. improved as in make it look nice, most of the time it looks just awful.

Well, it's subjective, since other people (myself included) thinks it looks pretty good.

I think the rendering of light on dark text is getting changed though, since MS got "complaints" about it with the IE9 preview.

Not sure if anyone has noticed (or posted) but XMarks has a build that works with the current betas and nightlies.

Oustanding. Now the only extension I'm missing from Fx 3.6 is Fission, which probably won't ever be updated. A shame, because I really liked having it show all the status information and url mouseover in my address bar.

[Steven P. Administrators]

I'm back on the nightlies and I'm pretty impressed with it so far!

[DrCheese]

Looks like a fix for my bug (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=582819 and https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=581023) is being pushed into the nightly builds next week :laugh:

I love this browser!

Yea, looking at it again it's perhaps not as bad as I make out, but some time it can look awful. Like on Steam the letters just look all crippled.

beta 3 has been pushed back to 9/10th.

I'm not sure what happened with beta 3 build 1, but here is the link to beta 3 build 2:

URL redirect are broken for me in the latest nightly. It's a pain to browse the forums.

if you have adblock plus enabled, you should disable it until it gets updated...

[Chasethebase Reporter]

if you have adblock plus enabled, you should disable it on Neowin.

Fixed so Neobond doesn't kill you in your sleep. :rofl:

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

Nah, it just breaks it in general, even if it's disabled on the site.

I ran into the same issue.

[Unrealistic]

I finally updated Firefox on my MBP from the 3.6 builds to 4b2. It's amazing how less demanding the program is. I went from having one tab open and it draining half my battery in 35 mins, to having 20 tabs open and it only draining 20% of my battery in 40 mins. I wish I had updated earlier.

I'm also still using all of my add-ons too. :)

why? i SWEAR I HAVE NOT ADBLOCKPLUS INSTALLED! :whistle: :rofl:

[Inklin]

is Flash Player not working in todays nightly?

if I go to pages with flash on, no flash object loads at all.

EDIT: must be just ustream videos.

seems something is amiss though, If I type a domain say http://ustream.tv I get "Moved Permanently, Document Moved Here" but if I type the url with www. infront it works, this happens with *almost* all domains.

[Inklin]

I just looked on the Mozilla forums and the bug is https://www.mozdev.o...ug.cgi?id=23092

if you have Adblock Plus, disable it for now. I think NoScript is also another cause for similar problems, so if you have that, disable it.

Hopefully there will be a fix soon :)

there is a fix for ABP you can add yourself.

go to:

C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_USER_NAME\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\PROFILE_NAME_RANDOM\extensions\{d10d0bf8-f5b5-c8b4-a8b2-2b9879e08c5d}\modules

open:

ContentPolicy.jsm

find:

// nsIChannelEventSink interface implementation

//

add after:

asyncOnChannelRedirect: function(oldChan, newChan, flags, redirectCallback) {

this.onChannelRedirect(oldChan, newChan, flags);

redirectCallback.onRedirectVerifyCallback(0);

},

all should be working after.
