vasa1 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I got it from the Mozillazine forum. Credit goes to that person who posted it but I couldn't find the post because that forum was down for quite a while! This is the specific post by angelica: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=10579721#p10579721 but that whole thread is worth looking over.

xoperax Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 According to Softpedia http://news.softpedia.com/news/Firefox-5-0-Features-to-Be-Announced-191821.shtml , Mozilla is gonna remove smart search keyword in Firefox 5. Can someone here please confirm that? I'm so mad at them since Firefox 4 released. It lacks so many useful features that should be built-in by default and now they're gonna remove one of my favorite feature that is extremely useful for me. F*** them for their stupid decision. When the **** they gonna stop relying so much on its user's add on? It's not their works. What have they done in almost 3 years since Firefox 3 released? Sorry mods, I can't hold my anger.

The_Decryptor Veteran Posted March 30, 2011 Veteran Share Posted March 30, 2011 They're removing the smart search stuff since it's near impossible to use (there's no UI for creating or editing them, so you either have to edit the SQL database by hand or run your own JS code to create them) I have a smart search I created back when Firefox 3 was in beta, simply because back then they were treated as plain bookmarks (and as such, allowed you to edit the location, which is a special internal URI that runs the search) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/980176-meet-firefox-50/page/5/#findComment-593839018 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a folder with my own custom search in bookmark toolbar and I must say that it's so useful when you can search a specific site with your right click context menu. It's obviously not availble for Fireofx 4 default unless you use "smart search" addon. I wish they'd implemented that feature by default and now they're gonna remove it. Great !!!!!

The_Decryptor Veteran Posted March 30, 2011 Veteran Share Posted March 30, 2011 No, that's something else. Mozilla is talking about the "Recent Tags" and "Recently Bookmarked" stuff (They could be better done by specialised code, instead of generalised code that isn't used by anybody else) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/980176-meet-firefox-50/page/5/#findComment-593839156 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detection Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 One of the things I wish they would address in FF is the length of time it takes to open after booting the PC - I can open IE9 and Chrome almost instantly while the system is still loading things up, but FF takes forever - its not bad once its been opened once and shut down, but first time after boot is horrible Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/980176-meet-firefox-50/page/5/#findComment-593839176 Share on other sites More sharing options...
grayscale Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Mine does not exceed 7 seconds on cold boot. That's not forever for me. Chrome with adblock, tampermonkey, neat bookmarks, (some other extensions) opens instantly but takes roughly 3-4 seconds for it to be responsive for me. But I'm not really into starting up time, I'd like it more if they can handle memory efficiently for a long time.

Detection Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Mine seems to take easily over 15 seconds after a cold boot with only 2 extensions - I do have a shed load of bookmarks though... wonder if thats it Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/980176-meet-firefox-50/page/5/#findComment-593839246 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firefox 5.0 targets are not yet set , so just rely on http://areweprettyyet.com/5/ mostly right now there is no separate branch for firefox 4.x and firefox 5.x , so all bugs are just for trunk only ,u can still follow 2.2 blockers Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/980176-meet-firefox-50/page/5/#findComment-593848978 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted April 2, 2011 Subscriber² Share Posted April 2, 2011 They better pump out some of these updates into 4.1, 4.5 or whatever. Waiting on 5.0 from 4.0 is a really stupid move considering how often Chrome is updated. Even if 5.0 is planned for 2 months time, that's far too long to neglect the main trunk. It's the one thing I despise about Mozilla/Firefox, the update speed is that of a bicycle instead of car. No, I don't want to run minefield.

torrentthief Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 5.0 is planned for 4-5 months from now not 2 months. Hopefully 4.2 will fix the bugs that 4.0 didn't have time to fix, hoping fonts will be pretty with hardware acceleration in 4.2 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/980176-meet-firefox-50/page/5/#findComment-593849192 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven P. Administrators Posted April 3, 2011 Administrators Share Posted April 3, 2011 Would anyone know why Echofon doesn't send messages anymore? It updates and everything, but everytime I try to send a message it just shows the green loading bar and then eventually times out. I tried the latest one 1.9.7.2 3 and 4 all the same result!

Jebadiah Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Multi-process? Is there a way to turn it on for browsing in FF4? I saw a couple of articles about it a year ago. I am close to shifting to Firefox for good, coming from Chrome. Less Google in my life, the better.
