updates Meet the browser: Firefox Next

[Marshall Veteran]

I didn't read through the entire thread but I really enjoy using these nightly builds.

My problem is with the UI. Currently I'm using FF stable with the FT DeepDark theme. It seems as though they've replaced themes with persona's which doesn't change the UI. I dislike the light colored menus and tabs and prefer black.

Is there anything I can do to get a similar look on the nightly builds?

Regards

No there are still themes. You have to check on "Complete Themes" in AMO. Marshall, that theme FT Deep Dark used to be compatible with the latest nightly builds. It does seem however that not many of the Complete Themes are being updated. Some are not even compatible with the released version of Firefox.

Thanks Gary,

It seems the only dark themes that are compatible with FF 22 are the Lava series, which are quite ugly as they have XP-like rounded tabs.

Thanks anyway though. :)

Add this pref in about:config extensions.checkCompatibility.nightly and set value to false. After this You can install any theme/extension, almost everything what is compatibly with stable release will be also OK with Nightly ;)

Thanks, but there is no such string available in the config?

You must create this: about:config -> click with RMB -> add new boolean: past there : extensions.checkCompatibility.nightly -> confirm with enter -> take value "false" in next window-> enter-> ready (sometimes You need restart browser)

Worked like a charm, many thanks!

Good news for Windows Vista users if any that Mozilla Firefox enabled WMF backend to enable system wide codec usage in FF23. Enjoy H.264 HTML5 as well with proper codec from system.

DXVA backed decoding is coming soonish as well, since the Surface tablets (and other such devices) aren't powerful enough to decode H.264 in software.

I know this is not the appropriate thread, but this is where I'm most likely to get this noticed: I just updated to FF20. I got the new download thing next to the home icon, but when trying to move around the feedly icon, I lost both the feedly and download icons, and when I right click and choose "Customize..." neither are there. What gives, and how do I get them back?

Not sure about Feedly, maybe in its addon settings?

But Right click > customise > Restore Default Set - should bring the downloads one back

Managed to get the download icon back by restoring and restarting, but Feedly's gone :/

Uninstall and reinstall feedly ?

Nah, I just put the url as my home page, so I can get it that way. It wasn't that important anyway, as I'm not a big fan of the web interface and I hope they fix it before Google Reader shuts down. Just my OCD taking over. Thanks anyway!

I think Baseline Compiler landed in FF23.

Baseline Compiler landed in Firefox 23 and it is enabled by default, no need to change preference although for "chrome" and "content" purpose preferences are in about:config

.

Block Mixed active content support with UI landed as well - https://bugzilla.moz...g.cgi?id=834836

After OMTDecoding "MJPEG" were not displaying properly, it is fixed now - https://bugzilla.moz...g.cgi?id=856486

Text to Speech another dependent bug fixed (Accessibility feature)- https://bugzilla.moz...g.cgi?id=858136

(Kind a snappy) More Offloading from Main thread: https://bugzilla.moz...g.cgi?id=792920

(Now it is directly added in mozilla-central base, similar to Chrome approach, new extensions API on new version basis) Updating Addon SDK - https://bugzilla.moz...g.cgi?id=858326

SQLite update (will be most likely backported to Aurora) - https://bugzilla.moz...g.cgi?id=856469

After OMTDecoding "MPJPEG" increased CPU usage - https://bugzilla.moz...g.cgi?id=856602

(Kind a snappy) calling some stuff from Image library out of main thread - https://bugzilla.moz...g.cgi?id=857367

BTW Snappy is ruled out and superseded by "Performance", so now it is more like Performance meeting weekly rather than Snappy.

I think I red several such question on mozillazine forum, I think only solution currently available is return to old DM window by switching browser.download.useToolkitUI;false preference to true.

Correct me if wrong...

You want try builds of jaun developer working on new customization panel ui?

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

Motion JPEG images are much better now, even before the OMTD work they were pretty buggy (Like it instantly replacing the previous frame when it started decoding the next frame, making it flicker). Now that they're double buffered and decoded on a separate there there shouldn't be any issues like that.
