I thought I was running RC2, but in the 'About Mozilla Firefox' window, it doesn't say anything about being a release candidate.

Does it say that for anyone else? It makes it appear as if it is the final version.

Also, does anybody get a bug where it appears that the program is not running in the Windows 7 taskbar (i.e. no border around it?). It only happens sometimes and not consistently. The border will appear again shortly afterwards or if I go to the application using Flip or Flip3D.

I don't know about you but on my computer the RC2 behaves a bit odd. When I browse through my favorites that are on the favorites bar, firefox becomes slow and stops responding for a second or two.. With RC1 I didn't have that issue

Does anyone know if the final release will support Acid 3 test? I mean is not a big deal but Safari and Opera so far are the one with this advantage.

In what way is passing the ACID test important?

In real life the ACID test doesn't mean anything. Most websites don't follow the standards anyway...

Beats IE8 :p

The most important things holding back Acid3 were fixed (fundamental layout issues, text and font handling, etc.). All that's left is a parser issue (getting fixed) SMIL (half-way fixed already) and SVG fonts (getting fixed)

Yes, IE8 being an epic failure in many regards, as usual :laugh:

Yet in their newest marketing propaganda, MS actually claims it has standards compliance :rofl:

Standards compliance looks like this :cool:

Firefox is getting close though.

I don't get that issue.

I actually had the taskbar issue with the older beta versions. However, something that happened with Windows Media Player, a few moments ago, makes me think it could be the fact I am using a Windows 7 RC build that I didn't clean install ;)

Of course not, it's a release candidate, they don't go back and large new features between the RC stage and actually releasing.

You were probably running RC1. I am running rc2 and get no such update.

I was running RC1 but the about screen makes no mention about it being RC2. Not sure whether it did for RC1, and just because it doesnt appear as an update for everyone doesn't mean it's not the final. I've had the same thing with official updates I know have been released.

Will this be the version where we get multiple processes? I LOVE to drag tabs out and make new windows in chrome (instead of bookmarks on my desktop in FF). If v3.5 gets that FF will be MONEY again for me

That has little to do (if anything) with multiple processes......Opera has had that functionality since before Chrome was even known about and it still runs everything in a single process.

Does anybody have a link for Glasser please? On the official add-ons site, it tells me it's for an earlier version of Firefox and won't let me install any version.

I like Ambroos' All-Glass extension, but I have a nice userstyle on my tab-bar, so I'd like that not to become glassy :)

    • Snap Inc. launches new SPECS augmented reality glasses (for 'just' $2,195)

      Snap Inc. launches new SPECS augmented reality glasses (for 'just' $2,195) by Aditya Tiwari Image: Snap Inc. Smartglasses powered by augmented reality are the latest fashion because the smartphone market is slowly reaching saturation. Snap Inc. announced its latest AR-powered smartglasses, called SPECS, that aim to strike a middle ground between underpowered AI glasses and heavy headsets you can't wear all the time. Available in two sizes, Snap SPECS are made from high-performance Swiss TR90 polymer and feature removable inserts to support prescription lenses. Its 47mm model weighs about 132g; the bigger 52mm model weighs 136g. Snap Inc has been spreading the word about the new glasses for a while now. Earlier this year, it even spun off its smart glasses team into a subsidiary called Specs Inc. Its proprietary LCOS (Liquid Crystal on Silicon) display delivers a 51-degree field of view and 16 million colors. Snap says the device gives the feel of a 24-inch desktop monitor when you're working, and of a 115-inch home cinema screen placed about 10 feet away when watching a movie. A pair of custom stereo speakers and 6x high-SNR MEMS microphones are built into the temples of the smartglasses to deliver open-ear audio while you cast a screen, stream content, open a whiteboard, or collaborate with others. Snap Inc. patted itself on the back, saying the smartglasses don't need tethering or a puck to connect to a computer. Under the hood, SPECS draw its power from two Snapdragon processors: one for computer vision and another for running Lenses. The device supports fast hand tracking, low latency, and responsive interactions that help digital content feel anchored in the real world, according to the company, which claims that SPECS can "deliver 7-millisecond motion-to-photon latency." The smartglasses offer up to four hours of battery life on a single charge while providing AI assistance, Bluetooth notifications, Lenses, audio/video playback, and more. The battery life could jump to 20 hours of mixed use when the charging case is included. Image: Snap Inc. You can view and interact with AR Lenses anchored directly to the physical world around you, and an on-board AI assistant uses the camera to see what's around to answer questions or provide real-time help with tasks. Snap Inc. noted that it filed more than 7,000 patents during the development of SPECS. It's trying to build the required digital ecosystem around the smartglasses, and said that developers have already published hundreds of Lenses for SPECS. Moreover, their electrochromic lenses use the same technology available in Boeing 787 Dreamliner windows, enabling them to shift from clear to tinted in just 10 seconds when you walk out of your house. Snap SPECS are now available for pre-order on the official website with a $2,195 price tag ($200 refundable deposit). The smartglasses are expected to ship in the US, UK, and France during the Fall this year.

      Sound Booster 1.13 Build 575 by Razvan Serea Increase volume on your laptop. Boost the volume of even very quiet speakers. Raise volume above maximum. Letasoft Sound Booster can be used as an extra amplifier when the volume of the program you are listening to is too low for comfortable listening and you feel that your PC’s speakers can produce a louder sound. This can be the case when the audio or video has been recorded at the level below normal. Or, for example, when the other person’s microphone you are talking to on Skype, is not working properly. There can be a plenty of other reasons why the sound is being too quiet and there is not much you can do about it except buy external speakers. Sound of any application that is being played in the system can be amplified up to 500%. Letasoft Sound Booster can raise volume of programs like web browsers, on-line communication software (Teams, Discord, Zoom), any kind of media player or games. Simply put, volume of virtually any program that can play any sound in PC, can be boosted to a comfortable level with Letasoft Sound Booster. You can control current volume with the pop-up slider from the system tray. Alternatively, you can assign system-wide hot keys for increasing and decreasing, and use them when you need to adjust volume Letasoft Sound Booster constantly monitors current gain level and prevents samples from clipping, thus reducing all major sound distortions.

    • Bose Ultra Open Earbuds are once again selling at their lowest price

      I own these and the normal QuietComfort ones from Bose. The QC are amazing and I want to love these, but for the life of me, I have a terrible time getting them attached to my ears.
