whoever proposed to put the Home button in the bookmarks bar should be hung. also, the fact that the GUI devs all agreed that it was a good idea and actually implemented it is REALLY disappointing. what in the world were/are they thinking. they better change that

btw, I know you can add the Home button to the main toolbar. I'm just saying it was a terrible decision to make the default as having it only on the bookmarks bar

haha yeh, i was looking for it when i tried out beta 3, and couldnt find it. i have to agree, its in a very awkard place

lol.

That change was made in beta 3, and some of us already had much too long of a conversation about it.

Please don't make us relive that. :p

How do you stop it from showing bookmarks in the drop down menu on the url bar?

about:config -> browser.urlbar.matchOnlyTyped -> true

Download:

ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.0b4/win32/

http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.or...es/3.0b4/win32/

Yes, i know it's the download trough the FTP, but i only post the links to it because there is NO links on the releases folder at this time.

I'll edit the post as soon as it will become available on the releases folder.

Also i've "coded" the link so this won't be like click'n'go, to prevent more server overload.

Does the fact there's nothing in the releases folder not kind of indicate the obvious - that it's not actually released?

Am off to create a "Windows 7 released" thread now - I'll edit the post when the OS is released.

Arguing about releases aside, I'm using the beta 4 rc2 now..

OH MY GOD IT FLIES!!

each firefox beta release gets faster and faster and faster, they're doing great work!

I used the opera nightlies for a bit, but they fell way behind at around beta 2 of ff3..

now if only my stupid bank would let me use a different browser than IE, I think i would be running a pc with just one browser for the first time in years.

There's nothing there because Mozilla removed the files and the folders, but don't cry, they will announce it soon and you can then download the files again... Believe if you want, i dont' care, the people which downloaded it in time know that the files where there when i've posted this, so you fail.

Go ahead, create the threads you want, who cares? But at least post something that is true, even when the developer decides to remove the files. :rolleyes:

Do you mean this one:

ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/3.0b4/win32/

?

If so, I get a "550 Failed to change directory." error every time. I'm assuming you're referring to the nightlies (which aren't on the first page). They're not the same as 3.0b4. They are release candidates for 3.0b4. That is why the path contains "nightly/3.0b4-candidates/rc2/". The official 3.0b4 will be found in the releases directory, not the nightly directory.

No, he means this one:

ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/3.0b4-candidates/

I've edited the first post and replaced the link. :|

One of the major new features of fx3 beta 4 is the PGO which should improve JavaScript speeds.

A quick comparison of JavaScript benchmark results on my system:

post-202145-1204915172_thumb.png

  1. Firefox3 beta 4: 6775.4 ms
  2. Opera 9.5 beta build 9815: 10957.4 ms
  3. IE8 Beta 1: 15095.2 ms
  4. Firefox 2.0.0.11: 29346.0 ms

That's pretty much Blazing!

How did you get folders at the top toolbar like that?

Acid3 was developed to test the next generation of web browsers in development wasn't it? i.e firefox 4 and the like, ACID 2 is the one to judge FF3 and IE8 by, according to what i've read around these forums.

Acid3 is based off of 2004 web standards. So no, the newest browsers should be passing with flying colours. Webkit is doing good and at 90 so far.

How do you stop it from showing bookmarks in the drop down menu on the url bar?

Found a solution. Take all the bookmarks from your Bookmark Toolbar, copy them to a new Bookmark Folder. Then delete all the bookmarks from the Bookmark toolbar, and walla!

    • draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 by Razvan Serea draw.io desktop is a downloadable security-first diagramming application that runs on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Creating diagrams in the desktop app doesn’t need an internet connection. This is useful when you are disconnected or when you must create diagrams in a highly secure environment, where data protection is of the utmost importance. When you use the draw.io desktop app, your diagrams will be stored on your local device. Because this is a stand-alone application, also designed to run offline, there are no interfaces to cloud storage platforms available. Of course, you can still store your diagrams in folders that are synchronised to your cloud storage if you wish. Easy-to-use diagram editor The draw.io apps work just like the office and drawing tools you are used to using. Drag and drop shapes from the shape libraries and drag to draw connectors between them. Drag connectors to add waypoints and set a precise shape and position, or let them reroute automatically. Double click and start typing to add a label to anything. Create tables and swimlane flows with a familiar tool. Style shapes and connectors with customisable palettes, sketch options, fonts and text formatting tools. Search for shapes, including in open-source icon libraries. Use our vast libraries of shapes and templates, organised into logical categories, to create a range of diagrams and infographics. Generate diagrams from text descriptions using our smart templates. Diagram faster with keyboard shortcuts. draw.io Desktop 30.2.4 changelog: Uses electron 42.4.1 Updates to draw.io core 30.2.4.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.
