Phenom II Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 wow, This build is a huge improvement over beta5 2D acceleration no longer messes with the text so badly, still slightly but not as bad and the IE9 html5 demo, amazon bookshelf absolutely flies using the 2D acceleration compared to other HTML5 browsers such as Chrome 6 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/896934-meet-firefox-401/page/92/#findComment-593152714 Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisdoland Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 It won't close! After upgrading from 4.0b5 to b6 it stays open in background and has to terminated via task manager.

Phenom II Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Screen capture comparing FF4b6 vs Chrome 6 at HTML5 http://www.youtube.c...h?v=tbmMU33ok_I On another note, it seems to be crashing a lot, could be a plugin I guess.

Kirkburn Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Wow. That was fast Firefox 4 Beta 6 builds 1 & 2 were just released this morning, and now the final release for beta 6 is out. What's the rush? Looking forward to beta 7. Build 2 is final, final is whatever the last build is. Since it has a small set of changes, it makes testing and verifying a quick process. lol - well that doesnt work Major breakage! :) Would've thought the fact it's not been updated for a year might have tipped you off though...

em3 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? Yea, I've noticed this as well, but it has been fixed for a few days in the nightly builds.

The_Decryptor Veteran Posted September 15, 2010 Veteran Share Posted September 15, 2010 Yes, that's the Mac theme. Edit: I could have sworn I had just loaded that page.

gahbmwM5 Posted September 15, 2010 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? Just testing (normal reply box), and did not 'have to click it a second time to be able to type'...

Definitely interesting here...as I do not utilize this method much, however upon trying it right after reviewing your post, I too saw the 'ugly square', but when I left 'mouse button' clicked back on the page it disappeared and now I can not re-produce it.... OK...yes it is a graphical bug as it has appeared again, however this time the square was to the right, not underneath..lol Uploaded with ImageShack.us Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/896934-meet-firefox-401/page/92/#findComment-593153526 Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Thom Vee Subscriber² Posted September 15, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted September 15, 2010 (edited) I got the ugly fonts fixed. When IE9 Beta was installed, another update was installed along with it (KB2117917) and this was causing the ugly fonts, as well as a desktop gadget glitch. I uninstalled both, and everything is as it was. My OS Vista.

mNiosu Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 IE is finally starting to look like a proper/current browser... The bad thing is if that if Mozilla don't push bigger things and faster in the browser is gonna fall as the slowest browser soon. If even Microsoft have finally seen that their IE suck and managed to improve it dramatically why is Mozilla so slow on developing and reinventig and falling more and more behind? That's making me sad, I love Firefox, and let's be honest many of us still use Firefox because of it's extensions ... So common Mozilla, keep up!!!
