Where are all those bugfixes you were posting? On top of that, you've started talking like a complete idiot, no offence.

Well, I use to post but nowadays I am busy. If seriously talking truth is being stupid then I am OK with being stupid. BTW several of new CSS3 and HTML5 support coming like scoped stylesheet, CSS3 variables, download attribute and inline iframe sandbox.

Is it me or the Social API is laggy on FF 19/20 ?

I also was able to capture this I6LyU.png by clicking all the three buttons at very small intervals , and it stayed like this until clicked again or a new notification appeared.

It's not you. Until Mozilla ever going to redo their gecko layout engine from scratch, lagginess is a permanent "feature" in firefox. They finally brough back the tab order animation and it still lags. They also seem to stop caring about the jerkiness of the newtab animation. I have to disable all the bell and whistle in about:config to make Firefox livable.

How do you make the downloads panel display ALL downloads from the PANEL? Meaning I don't want the separate window opening up. It used to do that, but then they changed it to only display 3 or 4 at a time, or whatever the number is. Anyone know what I mean and how to fix it? I'm hoping there's an about:config option, so I can set it to display all current downloads without having to click on show all downloads to see the rest of the downloads.

That is as per design , and I think you can't do that as of now. What is the problem with current method ? Earlier it used to take entire vertical space and look annoying , also you couldn't use search feature to find a particular download.

Care to tell us which things you disable in about:config? ;) :)

firefox 18 beta 1 is so much faaster than v17, ionmonkey is nice :)

Nightly is roaring on my side and Yes! FF17 and FF18 has many great snappy fixes. Although Ion Monkey is not much ready for its prime time, although since now Brian Hackett is back, goods think and JS Team will be little more active now like today or tomorrow Nightly will have "Off the Main thread compilation" which will not block main thread during JS compilation.

Yes, you just gotta make it the default browser.

No it doesn't. Even Nightly doesn't have Metro Fx... how do you expect beta to have it?

Now I'm just confused. I'll probably just go ahead and install it and if Metro isn't included then I'll just keep it on there until it lands.

I thought a read on the Firefox Wiki or Firefox blog two months ago that Metro about was going to land on 18.

Yes, Detection is right. Firefox 18 does have the Metro UI when you make it the default browser. Download Firefox Aurora to get the Metro User Interface. But you will have to make it the default browser and you will have to launch Firefox from the Start Screen.

I have Nightly as my default browser and no Metro UI from Start Page. :/ You need to download a specific build, not just some aurora...

Metro work is being carried on "elm" branch which is different from mozilla-central from where the Nightly builds are formed, elm branch keep update by merging mozilla-central on regular interval, only elm branch builds have "Metro UI". Once elm branch will merge with mozilla-central then Nightly will get Metro UI.

When that happens I stop using the Nightly builds unless it is a choice.

    • After enabling it in about:config, customize, density, compact; the toolbar/address bar gets smaller vertically. I enabled Nova, I notice the tab bar/title bar is a bit larger vertically now? Everything always becomes a waste of space.
    • Microsoft's Copilot Cowork now generally available with usage-based billing by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in March, Microsoft first revealed Copilot Cowork, a new agentic AI experience in Microsoft 365 Copilot through which users can assign tasks to AI to complete in the background. After testing the service with a limited set of customers in Research Preview for a few weeks, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork to customers in the Frontier program on March 30. Today, Microsoft announced the general availability of Copilot Cowork worldwide for Microsoft 365 Copilot customers. The company also highlighted that Cowork became the fastest-growing feature in the history of its Frontier program. Unlike regular Copilot Chat, Copilot Cowork can run complex, long-running, multi-tool tasks from start to finish in the cloud by using organizational context through Work IQ. When compared to Claude Cowork, Microsoft claims that Copilot Cowork will be 30% to 40% cheaper on average with its Microsoft 365 connector. For now, Copilot Cowork runs on Anthropic models, including Opus 4.8 and Sonnet 4.6. However, Frontier customers can now use GPT-5.5. Microsoft also announced Cowork 1, a secure fine-tuned model coming in the next few weeks, which is designed to handle everyday Copilot tasks at a lower cost. To access Copilot Cowork, a Microsoft 365 Copilot user subscription is required. Usage is billed separately through Copilot Credits, based on model use, context retrieval, tool calls, and runtime. Pay-as-you-go pricing is set at $0.01 per Copilot Credit. To offer IT teams full control over usage costs, Microsoft provides spending limits, usage alerts, user-level controls, reporting, and prepaid usage plans for organizations. Usage-based billing begins today. However, Frontier customers who used Cowork between March 30 and June 16 will not be billed until July 1, 2026. The Microsoft 365 Copilot app now includes a toggle to enter the full Cowork experience. Microsoft is also adding partner plugins, with Enosix, Harvey, LSEG, Miro, monday.com, Moody’s, Morningstar, S&P Global Energy, and TeamsMaestro available now. Adobe, Atlassian, Box, Canva, Databricks, and others are coming soon.
