I tried this and I had all kinds of problems. The most obvious was that my bookmarks were gone. I could see them if I "Managed" my bookmarks, but they weren't in the browser itself! :huh:

I guess I'll wait until I see it on the official page. :cry:

I'm sure that this has been asked before but, why isn't it on the official page?

EDIT: Maybe, in order not to crash the server, they keep it with the nightlies, so the downloading is staggered?

They probably wont put it on main page. Cause RC1 is mostly a "testing" release.

Quote by Asa.

If you're interested in testing these candidates and reporting bugs to Bugzilla, you can get them from FTP. If you've already downloaded 1.0 PR (the "feature complete" preview) and you're not particularly interested in active testing and bug reporting, then you should probably stick with 1.0 PR for a couple more weeks and upgrade when we release the official Firefox 1.0.

maybe. maybe they are waiting for it to get to all of the mirrors. maybe they just haven't gotten around to it yet. maybe they went out for a beer to celebrate.

Is it just me or does the 'My Assistant' popup break? It opens in the same tab I clicked the link in.

The icons on the left of the Options window have changed.

Another thing I noticed. The tabs no longer reach the bottom of the tab bar. There's a 2-3 pixel gap now. I liked it like it was before. Where the tabs' bottoms would touch the top of the page.

All my extensions are working but 1 (MiniT - Drag+Indicator).

Ah well, nice update, but I think I'm going back to my copy of Firefox from 9/30. Has the single window update in it. :D

make sure you don't have it checked in your preferences (advanced > tabbed browsing) to force links that open new windows to open in the same window/tab. Also, they changed the default from the earlier october builds, so when you check either of those options it will redirect all new windows into tabs. there is a hidden pref to change this behavior...

browser.link.open_newwindow.restriction

0 = redirect all window.open() calls to tabs

1 = don't redirect window.open() calls

2 = redirect featureless window.open() calls

set it to 2, and it will allow popups that have a window size or that hide UI elements to open in a new window. setting it to 1 will allow window.open() calls, but will still redirect target="_blank" into tabs if you have that pref set.

if you don't set force inks that open new windows to open in (the same window/tab) or (a new tab), that hidden pref won't have any effect.

    • Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch Summer Game Fest 2026 and what to expect from the 2-hour showcase by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June game showcase schedule is packed, and with the Sony event already behind us, it's time for the next major presentation to come in swinging. Later today, Geoff Keighley will be bringing the 2026 edition of Summer Game Fest live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the Summer Game Fest showcase livestream will be kicking off at 2 PM PT | 5 PM ET | 10 PM BST later today, June 5. The jam-packed show is slated to run for about two hours, with platforms like YouTube (4K at 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, or X being available for catching it. Like in previous years, separate streams featuring American Sign Language and Descriptive Audio are available on YouTube as well. Keighley has only dropped a few teasers about what gaming fans can expect to see at the show. This includes a new look at Star Wars Zero Company from EA, a major announcement from Guild Wars developer ArenaNet, more Clutch gameplay, and some sort of Sega presence. As for fan expectations, there is hype building about a Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 reveal here, and we might see new details about announced games like Alien Isolation 2 as well. If you want even more games, keep in mind that right after the main kickoff event, the Day of the Devs showcase will begin its own festivities at 4 pm PT | 7 pm ET. This is focused entirely on upcoming indie games. Following this, the next major games showcase is slated to happen on June 7. Here, Microsoft is bringing the big guns with its Xbox Games Showcase and Gears of War E-Day Direct. Check out the full calendar for all of the June events over here.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.
