torrentthief Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 there is a 5.0 candidate on the ftp which has a newer modified date in flashfxp and is quite alot smaller in size, presumably they removed some debug code. This is not the same as beta 7 btw. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/980176-meet-firefox-50/page/21/#findComment-594076222 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleNeutrino Veteran Posted June 16, 2011 Veteran Share Posted June 16, 2011 it is rather annoying that it does not tell you which version of 5.0 you have (which beta), i have been using the beta channel since 4.0 was released and it just auto updates all the time. Not sure which version I am on (b7 or RC) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/980176-meet-firefox-50/page/21/#findComment-594076232 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semtex Posted June 16, 2011 Share Posted June 16, 2011 Not sure which version I am on (b7 or RC) If it is latest then beta7, there is no RC on ftp or servers, but You are right, they should add info about beta/rc versions as well!

Kirkburn Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 If it is latest then beta7, there is no RC on ftp or servers, but You are right, they should add info about beta/rc versions as well! The idea of the beta is that it should replicate the live version of Firefox as closely as possible - i.e. it shouldn't report itself as being a beta. However, yeah, it's a little confusing. I think they do have some plans to help in that area, but I don't recall specifics. Their site is getting hammered right now. Will have to check it out later. Funny because I just switched from FF4 to FF5 beta 7 last night, then see this. I was quite shocked though to go into the nightly though and see Alpha 7. I really hate to say this, but I feel like they are getting too weird with their releases. Used to be a new version every year or less or so and now, they are working on three versions at the same time. Very confusing to me. :wacko: Sort of to the point of "Should I just go to Version 6 and wait for 7, or go to 5 and wait for 7, or maybe it is 6?" To extend bogas04's description - it's not that dissimilar to Chrome: there's a nightly channel [7], an Aurora channel [6], a beta channel [5] and a live release [4]. Every six weeks, they move along a step. I'm on Aurora, where they stabilize the nightly by fixing any major issues and disable unfinished stuff. Beta is essentially an extended release candidate stage.

Guest mattburles Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 firefox 5 is not officially out yet.. some work is still being done... Thanks for your interest in Firefox 5 We aren't quite finished qualifying Firefox 5 yet. You should check out the latest Beta. When we're all done with Firefox 5 it will show up on Firefox.com.

bogas04 Posted June 18, 2011 Author Share Posted June 18, 2011 From now on , No new "Meet Firefox XYZ" threads would be created , the discussion would continue at Meet Firefox Next for all builds/aurora etc , and the Final version thread would go to back page news, like this one .

bogas04 Posted June 18, 2011 Author Share Posted June 18, 2011 And you became a Moderator when? :rolleyes: I ain't okay , but this is what was decided back when ff4 was released , otherwise neowin would be full of Meet firefox 6 ,7 ,8 etc threads. Plus the backpage news threads... To avoid such clutter and keep the discussion intact to one center , we decided not to create separate threads. After all firefox matters , not the version numbers (considering the new release methodology) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/980176-meet-firefox-50/page/21/#findComment-594080658 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirkburn Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Why does everyone link directly to .exe's some of us here are on Macs and linux boxes. Because that's about 90% of people are looking for? It shouldn't be too difficult to modify the links manually.

mNiosu Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Hi guys. Haven't been here for a some time. I haven't followed the evolution of Firefox 5 (got bored after following the very long one of 4 :) ). I've just installed FF5 and noticed that my code witch made tabs slimmer isn't working any more. Any idea how to fix this ? Here's the code: .tabbrowser-tab, .tabs-newtab-button { -moz-border-image: url("chrome://browser/skin/tabbrowser/tab.png") 4 3 2 3 / 4px 3px 2px 3px repeat stretch !important; } Thanks!

Wakers Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 Just updated to version 5. Sadly I think FF is getting uglier with each release. And the font rendering is still horrible. Will wait for version 6 before giving FF a proper look again.
