Whats the harm in trying?? Just download the .zip thingy , when it comes , and when u rnt satisfied , then just delete the zip , done! Ur previous version is still alive without any wounds or something :p

The beta hasn't actually been released yet, these are test builds for what could become the beta.

Agree'd. OP needs to do some research and fix the topic title. This is a nightly build, not an official beta 1build 2 beta.

it's in the nightly folder.. not an official beta

But it will become official ,as this is the RC of the final Beta 1 of firefox 3.6 and , in a day another RC cannot come. Therefore , this is the Beta1 of 3.6 :)

Remember firefox 3.5.0 ?? it was nothing but Firefox 3.5 RC3 :) . Its only MS which has RC and Final with differences... Further if u want to investigate more , then compare the build no. of candidates of previous releases (of last build) with the final release. Like of 3.5.3 and candidate 3.5.3...

Just for sake of another proof , wait for tomorrow's release and then compare 20091019 with firefox 3.6 beta 1 FINAL's build number , most probably (95% sure) the no. will be same.

One more thing , if its a nightly build , then it would call it a prebeta , namoroka and wouldnt have that icon :) {See the attached picture)

that pretty much sums it up for you. in other words, wait until next Wednesday October 28 for the actual release of FF 3.6b1.

One word: DELAY! :angry:

Well I was going to not install Beta 1 build 2 and just installed the Beta 1 that was supposed to be released today. I'm using Beta 1 Build 1 now. Wait....

All this is so confusing. :(

Nothing to get upset about. The code they release on 10/28 will almost certainly be IDENTICAL (including SHA1 hash of the setup file) to the code that's found in Build 2. Occasionally they update a language xml file or something like that. In fact, a lot of the time the different builds are identical on the Windows platform. So really you don't have to wait at all.

you shouldn't need to be confused. just install build 2 of FF3.6b1 on top of build 1, overwriting it, and run FF3.6b1 as usual. build 2 has some bug fixes found in build 1. I've just installed Firefox 3.6b1 build 2 over build 1; no harm done. :D

ok fine then, boogerjones. :rolleyes: i guess mozilla isn't ready to release it today. no matter since i've already installed the latest build of Firefox 3.6 beta 1 on my XP machine and runs okay.

lol i'm constantly checking to see if this damn beta is up....... not kool :D :(

you can blame the folks at Mozilla on that. they're attempting to implement "Aero Peek Preview Per Tab" in FF 3.6 beta but with disastrous results, which is why they've postpone public release of FF 3.6b1 several times.

Read the October 28 Firefox Delivery Meeting Notes here and read about those Aero Peek bugs:

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/DeliveryMeetings/2009-10-28

sorry, public release of FF3.6b1 is NOT going to happen on the evening of October 28.

i'll just have to wait until Halloween then, maybe FF3.6b1 will publicly be available by that time.

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
