Meet Firefox 4.0.1


Recommended Posts

Because curiosity gets the better of me I've gone back to using the hourly builds. I've gotten Omnibar, Adblock Plus , Downthemall! and Fastdial working fine, but I still desperately need a working version of Stylish. It seems people are using Stylish on 4.0b2pre, so.... what Stylish build are you guys using and where are you getting it?

I used the one linked here. Seems to work just fine. Link is toward the bottom of the page (V 0.5.9)

To remove that cross button , go to about:config and set

browser.tabs.closeButtons

to 1

i was talking about the other close button (see screenshot) that config setting seems to just apply to the close [x] thats on the tab.

also resetting the toolbar buttons to default didn't fix the 2 new tab button problem that i am having, any other ideas?

You have Tab Mix Plus installed? I think that is causing the problems (as it did for me)

Says not compatible when trying to install.

Disable all extensions, remove custom user styles, etc.

though it's kinda ironic how they call them nightlies but they always seem to be compiled and uploaded around 12:30 or so in the morning :)

It's not night-time at the same time all around the world. :)

I think you meant Opera. I use the new chrome occasionally and I keep thinking "wow, this is almost identical to opera now"

This.

Opera has been the tech leader in browers for quite awhile now. I use it over everything now. I actually went so far as to remove FF from my system, and keep Opera as my main, and Chrome to toy with.

I love the feature in Chrome where you can type your searches into the address box. It would be nice if they added that into Firefox that way they would be able to get rid of the extra box.

Actually if you type something in firefox awesome bar and click enter, Firefox will google the words. The only difference is that there won't be search suggestion, even if there's an addon for this:

get rid of the Tab Mix Plus addon. It's not compatible with the FF 4.0b2 pre nightlies anyway.

Go to the Tab Mix Plus forum site and ask the creators to add FF 4.0b2pre compatiblity on their addon:

Looking at the MozillaWiki Releases page recently:

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Releases/

"Firefox 4.0 Beta 1" > Scheduled Release Date says "Early July"

I tried it for a short while. It appears to be from a build that is at least 3 or 4 weeks old. It may have been a Beta that Mozilla was going to release but did not. I don't know. It does not have App Tabs . Use it at your own risk.
