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)

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.

    • I have really been nerding out on my desktop icons and feel compelled to share...

      By Nick H. · Posted

      I missed this when you first posted it, but those are awesome icons! I would normally prefer things to be uniform, but each of those icons seems to fit perfectly for the game! If I may ask though, what was your thought process on which icons are circular - MK makes sense - and which ones should be rectangular or square?
    • Microsoft Paint used to be my favorite Windows app as a kid, and it's still pretty good

      By WaltC · Posted

      What I like about Paint is using it almost exclusively for cropping and resizing images I get elsewhere--it's quick, easy and cheap... I keep it glued to my taskbar, in fact. Also, the clipping tool comes in handy, as well (hit print scrn on the keyboard and it activates immediately.)

      I still remember it fondly today. It was so cool to work in 64-color Half Bright mode and 4.096-color HAM mode (interlaced) when x86 was still in 4-color CGA or 16-color EGA low res. C= never realized what it had until it was far too late--the failure of C= was the failure of its top management. The C= Amiga was 20 years ahead of its time, I always thought. It didn't hurt that in only 512k of chip memory, the Amiga could preemptively multitask when Apple was still doing gray scale graphics on tiny screens and along with everyone else was doing cooperative multitasking (running more than one app at a time in resident memory, but you could only run one of them at a time--had to manually switch between them.) I had a ball with AREXX scripting running between programs that had AREXX ports so that when you sent other applications data and instructions, those running applications could process the same in real time to output! Memories...

      I'm not sure about that, but it at least "does" a version of 7.1 that this brand new card doesn't....
