Darrian Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 What's wrong with adding the about:config entry? It's simple, easy and doesn't involve installing an extension.

Sub_Zero_Alchemist Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Well, obviously the development up to the anticipated 4.0 is going to be relatively slow and I don't think it's even slated to be released until next year. This way people who don't even know about minefield builds can still see the progress being made in regular intervals. Firefox 4 is still on target to be released this year, if any thing it be pushed back to nov/dec around that time frame.

Darrian Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Firefox 4 is still on target to be released this year, if any thing it be pushed back to nov/dec around that time frame. I don't recall it ever being on target to be released this year. If that's what they're planning now then they must have decided to cut some features, which would make sense if beta 6 is supposed to be "feature complete," because we're still missing some things.

x-byte Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 So, what do I do with the tar file I downloaded from Mozilla? I extracted it but then what? Why can't they just give me a damn deb file instead... arg edit: using Linux Mint.

Darrian Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 My general feeling towards linux users is that if you use linux you should be capable of figuring that kind of stuff out. Additionally, Google is your friend. Since I took the liberty of searching for you here's a link that will probably help you out: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Linux Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/896934-meet-firefox-401/page/91/#findComment-593151380 Share on other sites More sharing options...
x-byte Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 I scrapped linux and booted Windows instead. That much hassle for a quick test is pointless.

JoHideo Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Are a ton of extensions still incompatible? For example, greasemonkey seems to not want to cooperate so I ended up going back to 3.6.

Corris Veteran Posted September 15, 2010 Veteran Share Posted September 15, 2010 Sweet, the plug-in freezes I was getting seems to be all solved, running great. :D Though is anyone else still getting the text box thing on here, when you click on the fast reply or normal reply box, you have to click it a second time to be able to type? And anyone know the easiest way to disable the backspace key taking a page back?

torrentthief Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 i don't think so, there's only 5 or 6 bugs fixed in the changelog, the only important bug fixed is the crashing bug. Beta 7 will fix it i'm sure, thats still scheduled for this month atm.

Beta 7 will fix it i'm sure, thats still scheduled for this month atm. Yeah Flash crashes FF4 B5 on Mac OS X and I also discovered that flash controls don't work on tabs that are set to "App Tab" on Mac OS X (like http://nederland.fm > Radio 538) the controls work fine if the tab isn't an app tab. How do I see if that bug has already been submitted?

BeerFan Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Since Beta 5, i've seen a graphical bug show up whenever I use the scroll wheel-click browse method. When I click and hold the scroll wheel, and move the mouse up or down to scroll the page, an ugly square shows up underneath the mouse pointer. Anyone else seeing this?

Phenom II Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Mozilla have a real battle on their hands with this FFv4 imo - it seems there are so many more issues than in other builds, that they either can not fix yet, or for some reason are skimming over Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/896934-meet-firefox-401/page/91/#findComment-593152676 Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the rush? Looking forward to beta 7. Blog Post Release Notes No rush at all, but since beta 6 is encompassing very few changes, it's also quick to test and release. I think it only has something on the order of five small code changes. I'm surprised it even needed a build2, haha.
