Firefox Nightly


Recommended Posts

May as well start a new thread for Nightly info.

New Pref's

user_pref("browser. preferences.animateFadeIn", true);

The Options Panel will fade-out when you choose a new Options Tab.

user_pref("browser. preferences.instantApply", true);

Like it says.

Both can be accessed via about:config, as well.

Don't forget, only these Extensions will work, they have an extra file - chrome.manifest, and cannot be "bumped-up" in the usual way.

Skins will not work, so forget it (except FirefoxModern).

Thought the Dynamic Skin Switching on nightlies had gone missing for a while, until I discovered there is an extra pref you need to set.

This gives you an instant Theme change, as soon as you hit "Use Theme" button in Themes Manager. First line required for Release builds, both lines required for nightlies.

user_pref("extensions.dss.enabled", true);

user_pref("extensions.dss.switchPending", true);

In user.js.

Deer Park Alpha 1 available at this directory-

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/fir...pacifica-trunk/

Only for the adventurous, who are prepared to do a total clean install.

Actually installs as Deer Park, but the exe is still Firefox.exe.

Runs really smoothly here.

Ahh, thanks :).  Anyone know how to rebind the middle mouse button to open/close tabs like it is in older versions?

That's a bug right now. The work around is turn off autosrolling and/or smooth scrolling. located under options/advanced/general

Deer Park is what Firefox 1.1a will be called. 1.1a is not yet released though. 1.1a is meant for developers not the general public. The name deer park will replace most instances of Firefox in the browser and all the icons will be changed...this is being done to make sure people do not mistake 1.1a as a final build.

Some prefs I have been playing with, regarding page-load speed.

They are contentious topics always, but these give a supersonic boost ....at least on dial-up and using Deer Park.

These will be more-or-less pertinent, regardless of connection type.

Add them to user.js and restart, if they cause problems.....delete them.

user_pref("network.http.pipelining", true);

user_pref("nglayout.initialpaint.delay", 0);

user_pref("content.notify.ontimer", true);

user_pref("content.notify.backoffcount", 5);

user_pref("content.notify.interval", 750);

user_pref("content.switch.threshold", 750);

user_pref("layout. reflow. async. duringDocLoad", true);

user_pref("layout. reflow. timeslice", 800000);
