It sounds like a driver issue, in that it isn't treating Firefox as primarily a 2D app (That's what the Nvidia driver does, which is why it goes back to 2D clocks then idle)

I own nvidia GTX 460 1GB with driver used from 256 series to till now. So if it nvidia fault in your opinion then you should face it equally on your nvidia but you are not facing it so I don't know whats the reason is of it.

There's a section in the nvidia control panel for per-application settings, check that Firefox is listed in there (At some point after upgrading the driver/main app, the control panel gained a custom entry for Firefox)

I'd copy the settings that the drive came up with from my PC, but it's not working right now.

These are mine settings:

This looks perfect now I guess. Downloads Panel is pretty much done with this :D

Those who think the older version was better , and how to disable this . Well , on clicking Show All Downloads , you will get the old panel , which pretty much solves everything! (I know it is old)

1) Downloads Panel (an interim solution is added for glow on competition , if it works well then it will be used for next Aurora, already landed on mc)

2) Australis Tabs (beta quality builds are ready as per devs , soonish to land)

3) Stub Installer is close to be done (you may download any stub installer from ftps)

4) New Try Build for Australis Customizations

wonder if the New Customization bit will be in FF20? or am i dreaming like most things with Mozilla

Panel-based Download Manager

We plan to leave the feature enabled in Aurora 19 to get feedback from Aurora users, will be disabled in beta though

Or you can just hit control+j to open the download window without the need to click the button. Some times it does not open though and I haven't figured out why.

A better option is to just go to about:config, search for "browser.download.useToolkitUI" and set that to true.

Yes you can. It does open for me all the times.

They are just making the UI for now , most of the buttons don't work :p

But it doesn't look like Windows :(

It looks like Firefox UI although. And from now on Firefox devs will be making Firefox look like Firefox across all platforms than just making them look best on the respective platform. Doorhangers are btw a part of Aero UI so it doesn't exactly look like Windows , but has the same concept.

anyone know anything about this? coming from Omega.X who would know :rolleyes:

Looks like the days of 64-bit Windows builds are coming to an end. (again) Another push just popped up to get the build bots disabled.

Does anyone still own a 32-bit system these days? :/

Yes, Mozilla developers.. Which damn care about 64-bit thingy which is indeed future, lets hope Chrome which recently start working on 64-bit release it early and quickly.

You do know that the 32bit builds still work on 64bit systems right? They want to disable the 64bit builds because they're buggy and not for general use.

    • Microsoft hides these secret Windows 11 performance boost settings available on every PC

      I think every American should have a course in a 'dry sense of humour' at school; and perhaps 'using sarcasm in jest' oh, and also 'the use or irony in humour'.
    • Major Xbox layoffs may claim South of Midnight developer Compulsion entirely

      By PeterTHX · Posted

      What they really need to do is automatically spell "loses" and "lose" correctly since nobody seems to know how to anymore. Then they blame spellcheck/autocomplete and don't realize autocomplete is just filling in the word for them automatically so it was misspelled in the first place.
    • Here is how I fixed Windows 11 not booting after clean installation

      By rseiler · Posted

      If someone chooses to continue using SB and therefore goes through the manual intervention in the thread, afterwards the BSOD problem is gone. Whether they then re-enable the task doesn't matter, they're done, though on such machines it might pay to keep it disabled in case the next update (if there is a next) causes the same problem. OTOH, if someone disables SB in the BIOS, the problem is also gone. Incidentally, I noticed that this task exists even on machines that don't support SB. It's just installed across the board...and runs. Doing what on such machines is a little hazy.
