Meet the browser: Firefox Next


Recommended Posts

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...

I guess, but i wanted with the new toolkit :/

I just switched back to Firefox after using Chrome for a couple of years. I used Firefox UX in past though to see how new UI improvements have been coming along, but had a question on how downloads works. Do you need to have the downloads button show at all times next to the home/bookmarks button in order to see the dropdown and time of objects being downloaded? When I was using UX, it would auto show up when I was downloading, and would then go away after I either clear downloads or view them all. Now I can never have it show up, so it show's the remaining time left, without having it placed on the toolbars bar at all times.

This behavior was changed some time ago, since now download button is always visible. If You like to get "old" behavior You need instal, for example, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/status-4-evar/ and use download button from this addon.

mozillazine hacked?. phpbb.com website down to, phpbb host Mozillazine forum?

Old know bug on MozillaZine, sometimes You need reload page one or two times ;)

If I good remember MozZine is on some University servers and have some down times form time to time ;)

Thank you. I didn't know it was always visible now by default, as I guess it was using my original settings.

i'll admit i dont mind the Australis Tabs but im not 100% convinced of this new App Menu that i'll stay with firefox. but i will not miss the Huge Firefox Global Button either. surely someone could fork Firefox an make that button smaller without using Hacks to accomplish that. i dont believe Pale Moon Devs or Waterfox Dev will keep there version of firefox the way it is now when Australis hits. i could well be wrong but time will tell.

I personally gonna ditch firefox soon, I hate new bookmark star button change, I don't wanna increase my addon inventory, don't want some scriptish hacks.

I am amused to see how bad Mozilla has fallen, every FF diehard fan like me know early FF4 release days when FF started competition for FF4 possible theme and people took part in it because it was crucial for FF and Mozilla wanted to make changes what people want but now in case of Australis they took mockups of one Stephen Horlander ****** and start implementing it because they think it is Chrome copy and they could be similarly successful with it. Truth is bitter. Alas! now they will loss some crucial base of users.

I am pretty sad right now and being freedom of speech I am making my opinion, you can disagree with me completely but I will stick with my comment.
