For some reason the background updates are not working for me, I open the about window and it downloads the update then changes to "Applying Update" with the pinwheel and sticks like that indefinitely until I close the window and reopen it where it gives me the option to click "Apply Update" Nightly then closes, I get a UAC prompt and then it updates the old way. This is a fresh profile too from a couple of days ago, so I don't think it is that.

Don't know what the reason but I suggest you wait till some more dependent fixes land otherwise file a bug.. I am out of Nightly league now..

The updating is slightly flawed. If I click on a link without a browser open, like in Outlook, and there is an update set to apply on firefox startup, an error appears. The link eventually loads once Firefox updates though.

I have never seen such an error with Chrome and its silent update. Mozilla should gracefully handle that update somehow.

chrome's updates are so flawless not just because of how the update is handled but because of how the main browser process is handled. if i remember correctly everything loads into a separate file so the main file can easily be accessed and updated on the fly, then to apply the update the browser simply needs to be quickly restarted

Is there any way to revert a particular web site exception for click_to_play (meaning after clicking "Always activate plugins on this web site")? soundcloud starts playing again by itself *argh*

Nevermind, it was by the nose all the time.. in the page properties, alongside with security at permissions tab under 'Activate Plugins' option!

Australis tab strip - Jared and Frank

• Spent some time getting the new tab design implemented on Windows.
  
• Still have maybe a week and a half before we can get it up for review.
  
• No computed borders or gradients in this design, so we hope that it will be a little faster. [/quote]

We're happy to announce that the 'Gecko Profiler' is ready for broad usage.

• This is a cross-platform profiler (win, mac, linux, fennec) for platform code (C/C++)
  
• It is easy to setup
  
• Lets you focus your view on 'jank' events
  
• Can be kept always-on to provide something like Shark's WTF Mode
  
• Exports small profiles for attachment/linking to bugzilla.
  
• For more info read dev.platform: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/mozilla.dev.platform/jOklwc7AdC8

Give it a time bro , let them land it , it will make tabs faster by dropping some gradients and stuff.
Further i guess themes would come soon or stylish scripts to retain old style or maybe something even better

Brother, to be honest sometime Mozilla dev goes crazy....
Whats the purpose of add one stuff again which left residue on uninstall and also cause startup slowdowns...
Not even care if they add whole bunch of electrolysis and stuff but stick with Australis since this is true loss of identity in my opinion..
Any reason the tabs should be curvy?
They cover more space and also does it make their share increase, I don't think so.

[dysgenics]

you can always square them back up with stylish

Welcome to Post Chrome Mozilla Before chrome we were all great , even till 3.6 , and maybe till 3.7 , but after that , i don't know what happened. Most probably Google's Search deal after that included Mozilla to make Chrome like browser and ruin yourself for Good of Chrome ...

This latest build of Firefox 15 just plains sucks. Who are they using for developers some 9th grate IT students? The damn spell check does not even work right. I am think of moving up to the latest Beta build, I have had it with this nonsense.
