^ 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?

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.

    • But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.
    • Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
