This is bugging the hell out of me...



If I click on either of these more than once, too fast, i.e double click, then it scrolls a whole windows width worth of tabs, rather than just 1 tab per click. This only happens in Aurora, not firefox (with the same set of ad-ons). Anybody know how I can disable this new feature?

Thanks.

I'm use this simple script to get rid this, also make me crazy...

#tabbrowser-tabs .scrollbutton-up ,
#tabbrowser-tabs .scrollbutton-down {
	display: none !important;
}
[/CODE]

But You need also set min width for tab, some about 25px...

[FiB3R]

nice one man, but 25px tabs? really?

It suppose be only minimal width, so if You open for example 100 tabs, then all will fit to Your screen....

[FiB3R]

yeah.... I don't want that to happen lol

Also, there is no need for the script in that case.

the scroll tabs buttons annoy me too, those worked fine in older versions of firefox but in FF10 and possibly FF9 they scroll to the end way to often, its very annoying. Hope you can file it as a bug.

I also agree about the firefox fullscreen message and darkening, it is incredibly annoying, i've voted on your bug.

Hope these 2 bugs get fixed soon.

Smooth scrolling (as mentioned above) and asynchronous rendering has landed on the main trunk, and hopefully should be in tonights build. Asynchronous rendering should have a good affect on performance, currently in a bunch of benchmarks Firefox can get bogged down repainting the web page, instead of doing JS or such (There's 1 benchmark where it's like 8x slower than Chrome, simply because Chrome paints slower and lets JS run for longer), now (ideally) Firefox won't paint any more often than 1/60th of a second, letting JS and such run for the rest of that time.

It also lays the foundation (along with Off The Main Thread Compositing) for enabling things like Vsync and transparent window buffers (on OS X), which leads to more performance improvements.

NewTabPage

(Video by me :p )

URLAutoComplete

Incremental GC (Maybe)

might be landing to Nightlies soon and hence make way to Firefox 12

Anyone else having trouble with the address bar in the last two Nightly builds? I think the newly implemented autofill feature is bugged or one of my extensions is adversely affecting it (I do have the omnibar extension installed). When I type more than two letters which don't correspond with any bookmarks (e.g. when I type "goo" without any google page bookmarked) it will automatically delete the text, making google searching impossible.

Works perfect for me here , try disabling those addons...

Yeah, after further investigation it seems to be omnibar that's causing the problem. Are there any other add-ons or methods for google searching through the address bar (not a separate search box)?

There are many ways to do it natively

Method 1 : Make a google search keyword , (right click on google's homepage's text field , choose "Add a keyword") and done!

I have made "g" , so whenever i have to search on google i do : "g how to blablaabla" and it searches on google,you can do so for other sites as well like y for youtube so "y justin beiber sucks" ( :p )

Method 2 : This works for me most of the time but sometimes you may not get desired results , but its worth a try

Go to about:config , type keyword , you get keyword.URL , double click it and add

http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=navclient&gfns=1&q=
[/CODE]

and click OK , now just type say microsoft in awesomebar , it will directly take you to microsoft.com , even better if you type "Meet Firefox Next" it will take you to this thread as well! (It works on Google's Im feeling lucky methodology) but when firefox can not find a relevant site it just fetches you with Google search results, which to me is far superior than omnibar

Other than these you can rely on addons which i know nothing about :)

Lion fullscreen support finally lands in UX, now all is needed for me is the scrollbars. :)

Are the scrollbars suppose to be landing soon for Lion?

Looks awesome btw. Can't wait until I get my 2012 iMac. =)

I use Omnibar addon too but have no such problems and i too use the new inline autocomplete feature.I don't have any google sites in bookmarks and when i type goo it autocompletes it fine and it stays that way.I din't get any similar beahaviour with other words or anything either.

Really? Well it must be something else then. I'm running the latest nightly and when I type say "facebook" (which isn't bookmarked) as soon as i type the "c" it will erase everything, and when I type the first "o" it will erase everything again, and so on. Seems to be erasing everything after every third letter.

It looks so beautiful.

Actually scratch that on my previous post.I do get the bug and indeed it seems to be related to Omnibar addon.But i guess its from one of the 2 updates today since i haven't noticed it until just now.It seems to happen on random.I even tried typing gibberish in the urlbar and it deletes it.For example typing "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" or any other letter will trigger the bug.Even proper words from your history too.However the bug does not happen if the word gets autocompleted.Can't be more precise than this for no tho.

should be coming soon, there are a list of things that need to be done for it to be more native.

1. Page bounce when scrolling

2. Lion scrollbars

3. page forward and back animation

These are just a few above the surface elements as there are things that still need to be done below to increase performance on OS X.

Yep having this same bug as well for the last couple of days. Took some trial and error to figure out which one was causing it. Frustrating too because the awesome bar suggestions look so huge now with the addon disabled.
