The_Decryptor Veteran Posted October 24, 2012 Veteran Share Posted October 24, 2012 The next nightly for OS X should support the Apple Colour Emoji font, it seems Apple only coded support for rendering it into the "CoreText" APIs, and since Firefox was using the "CoreGraphics" APIs the pictures just never showed up. But, now Firefox checks for the presence of the CoreText APIs and uses them if it finds it, so that font will start working now (Although a better solution is to use their SVG in OpenType proposal) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pikey Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 What happened to the 'Tabs On Top' option in Nightly? I just did a fresh re-install and noticed it's gone ... but I'd prefer to see my Tabs under the Bookmarks Toolbar instead of the default 'On Top' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beanboy89 Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 I might be missing something obvious here, but I can't get the Firefox modern/metro UI to work in Windows 8 Pro. I have tried both tinderbox and regular nightly builds from the Elm branch, and after I make Nightly my default browser, I see the Nightly live tile appear. When I select the tile, I see the blue Firefox splash screen and then it just closes and returns to the Start screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArialBlue Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 Does Firefox for METRO allow plugins or did it secure itself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Karl-Johan Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Why is it so dead? :C Nothings really happening at the time I guess. We're still waiting for downloadmanager, incontent-ui and Australis theme. Any news about when it might showing up in UX? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogas04 Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 Metro FF is coming soon to mc [1] More work on making smoother tabs and faster startup has been done [2] (Although startup is not that faster , but once ff is launched it is pretty much usable right away) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bogas04 Posted November 9, 2012 Author Share Posted November 9, 2012 So I read this article Chrome has gotten 26 percent faster this year , and wondered how fast has FF become over a year ! I ran the same Octane test , for FF8 , FF16 and the latest nightly FF 19 (The build is exactly a year after FF 8 was launched). The results were : FF 19 6025 (106%) <8 Nov 2012> FF 16 5408 (85%) <9 Oct 2012> FF 8 2921 (0%) <8 Nov 2011> So that's all , FF has seen such drastic performance improvements over a year that it puts Chrome's improvements to dust. Just for sake of comparison , I also tested Chrome 24.0.1312.5 dev , and it scored 8577 (42% faster than FF 19) , which ain't that bad I guess for Firefox I guess. PS : A very delightful and a happy birthday to Firefox for completing its 8 years ! :D :D :D Matrixik 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoapyHamHocks Member Posted November 12, 2012 Member Share Posted November 12, 2012 Any way to change the Firefox button to match the File Explorer? :p This should get it looking pretty close. @namespace url('http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul'); @-moz-document url('chrome://browser/content/browser.xul') { #appmenu-button { margin: 0 !important; background: #1979CA padding-box !important; box-shadow: none !important; border: 0 !important; border-radius: 0 !important; font-weight: normal !important; text-shadow: none !important; transition: .1s background-color ease-out !important; } #appmenu-button:not([open]):hover { background-color: #298CE1 !important; } #appmenu-button[open] { background-color: #1268B3 !important; } #appmenu-button > .button-box > .button-menu-dropmarker { display: none; } #appmenu-button > .button-box > .box-inherit > .button-text { opacity: .99 !important; } } Konstantine 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kilara1988 Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 The white bar at the bottom issue is bugging the hell out of me. Anyone else experiencing this in the Nightlies? Yes i have that too and its bugging me too.But there seem to be 2 different bugs.One for new profile which as far as i heard is related to social API and another one(#809258 and #726285).I have the bar on new profile bug with no addons at all installed,but on my dirty profile when i disable X-notifier and Lastpass addons the bug goes away completely.
