^ That is a nightly build. Beta 1 will be released tomorrow, keep an eye on mozilla.org and/or mozillazine.org front pages for links when the beta 1 is avaiable.

Hmmm not according to a link on here... The installer said "v1.5 beta 1" the about says "v1.5 beta 1" there is Firefox branding...?!?!

@ Stew Gilray: this is not a patch for native theme rendering which you describe, its merely a half-assed hack to band-aid the real bug, which is not supporting native theme rendering.

Ah ok :-) fair enough then...

Becuase they flip the branding swicth a few days before the release to make sure flipping the switch doesn't break anything.

Unfortunatly, a load of people think it's the real beta.

The beta 1 release candidates are out, beta 1 might still come out today but we had another respin because of addidition fixes that went in last minute. But for now there are some release candidates out. Let me repeat this again, these are NOT beta 1!

I brought up about the ugly changes to the UI yesterday, please Sign this petition to get this half-arsed band-aid patch pulled, this ban-aid was put into place to try and make you think Firefox has Native theme rendering when in fact it does, and this patch makes all themes look like crap unless you are using Luna...and most people see aren't on XP or even use Luna if they do use XP. Thanks.

If you guys have just recently downloaded Firefox 1.5 beta 1, use a branch or trunk nightly build and you hate the way the new menus look...this extension is for you. Thanks to a bunch of folks over on mozillazine.org forums, we have put together this extension to bring back the classic menus, this is especially nice for all the Windows 2000 and below users and users of XP non-luna themes.

Download link

If the link isn't working copy and paste the link into the browser and hit enter. For some reason the link isn't triggering the install notification for me on neowin but does on other sites!?

I tried the 1.5 beta and most of my extensions wouldn't load, not even the Google bar. I understand that this is a deliberate mechanism to ensure extensions are both compatible and known to be compatible, but it leaves me unable to do any of the things I really want to test. Is there no way to force loading of extensions for testing even if they don't have the right version info?

Is there any easy fix to get all extensions working without tedious editing?

  • 4 weeks later...

The freeze for Firefox 1.5 beta 2 (ver 1.4.1) is tonight with an expected released for tomorrow (10/5/05) afternoon/night. I can almost guarantee that there will be links flying around tonight saying its the beta but it isn't...just remember to download only from mozilla.org and make sure the link has a releases folder, that is only way to make sure it is legit.

I've this problem which I'm unable to open links from other softwares. Example, my friend gives me a link in MSN Messenger and when I click it, nothing happens at all. Mozilla doesn't load. Is this the browser's problem or my computer's problem? I'm using Firefox 1.5 Beta 1. Thanks. :)

Only bugfixes which there have been roughly 500 of. Beta one was the last release to include news features.

not to mention the now ugly ass menus because the devs wanted firefox to look better on luna then the windows oses with classic menus. win2k->95 This will be fixed in 2.0 where firefox will actually render themes

Adblock will not work even if you do bump the version because there was a bug fixed in firefox code and it therefore broke adblock since it used the bug to do whatever. So adblock wont work until that is fixed. The bug in adblock will show the alt text for all images instead of the image unless you hover over the image.

    • FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 by Razvan Serea FotoSketcher Studio is a free creative tool that instantly turns your photos into artwork. With just a few clicks, you can apply styles like pencil sketches, watercolor, oil painting, ink drawings, cartoons, and abstract effects. Powerful yet simple sliders let you adjust every detail to match your vision, from subtle enhancements to bold artistic transformations. You can also improve your images with tools for contrast, sharpness, color, and brightness, plus add frames and text. It supports JPEG, PNG (including transparency), BMP, and WebP formats for both opening and exporting. Available for Windows (64-bit) and macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), FotoSketcher also offers batch processing, manual retouching, and custom effects for advanced users. Completely free, including commercial use, with no ads or spyware. FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 changelog: New LUTs effect In the Photo Lab category you will find a new LUTs (Lookup Tables) effect for custom colour grading. It comes with 18 presets built right into the application (Cinematic, Kodachrome, Golden hour, Portrait and more), each with a live preview so you can see the look before applying it. Right-click the preview to compare with your original image. And if you have your own .cube files, you can load those from disk too. New "Stylize" category Added a brand-new Stylize category with four new effects. Three of them (Mosaic, Circles and Triangles) are built on the same space-filling idea, turning your photo into tiled mosaics, clusters of circles, or a low-poly triangle look. The fourth, Cartoon, is a bit different: it gives a clean graphic style with defined lines and solid colours. A little tip - set the colour intensity to 0 and Cartoon draws a pure outline drawing with no fill. Combined with the "Do not erase background" option, you can run it on top of any other effect to add crisp contours in two quick steps. Auto-Enhance and Full Reset Two small but handy additions. Auto-Enhance (just press E) tries to optimise your source photo - exposure, white balance, local contrast - for a 'dehazed', natural-looking starting point. And Full Reset clears everything back to a clean slate in one step (working image, history, LUT, script, brushes and sliders) without having to close and reopen the program. Press Ctrl+Shift+N, or right-click the exit button. Scripts The script engine has been updated to support all the new effects, with a few new commands and improved help. If you would like some inspiration, the recent scripting tutorial on this blog walks through several ready-made example scripts. The usual improvements The interface now uses new colour accents for better readability, the history gallery has had a few tweaks, and you can now open .webp images directly. On top of that, this release includes some performance improvements and a good number of bug fixes.
