Calum: I had a few issues with 3.5 and switched back to Opera for a while, but I have to say that 3.6 is pretty stable for me and facebook works better than it ever did in any other browser :)

Thank you very much for the reply :happy: I've installed it and it hasn't crashed on me yet; it's also much faster for me.

I have a problem though. Bookmarks on the bookmarks toolbar are not showing for me and I can't seem to pin-point it to a problem with any extensions. Does anybody else have the same problem? The toolbar will show, but not the bookmarks on the bar.

How does dumping everything into slower virtual memory optimize anything? A web page with a lot of images takes more than 5 MB let alone the browser itself with nothing open. You want to use as much RAM as possible, that's what it's there for.

Updated and one improvement for me is when I go to Revision 3 and start watching a streaming video, no longer does Firefox go wobbly for 20 seconds. It would loose its cursor and lock up. Now, straight in - no problems. Happy bunny even if it isn't the proper RC1.

Decided to try the RC to see if it solves the problem I started to have with 3.5.7, and unfortunately it didn't. But it did solve the bookmarks toolbar items problem (where for some reason it disappeared, if you moved it to the navigation toolbar next to the address bar), that god knows how long I had (can't remember since which build it started).

And except that, didn't really noticed any improvements. Still fast as it was before.

I've just installed RC1 Candidate and have noticed an increase in speed, so whatever they've done is definitely an improvement (Y) .

This is a Nightly Release not an Official RC1.

Not quite. It's in the nightly folders, but it's not a nightly - it's just not a finalized RC1.

It is now available at http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.or...eleases/3.6rc1/ too - appears to be identical to build1.

I switch of between Chrome and Firefox... and btw, get Firefox Ultimate Optimizer... just google it. Keeps firefox under 5 MB of RAM, Always, no matter what amount of tabs or addons you have.

Yes, RAM Optimizers and RAM Defragmenters work also. :no:

Does anyone have an issue with the tab panes not showing anymore? In one of the first beta, they showed up... ever since I've formatted, with what appears to be the newer version; no dice?

If it works, why sad face?

Sarcasm, I believe...

Tabs will randomly vanish and reappear (I've had the entire tab list vanish and it revert back to the standard window thumbnail)

Personally, it annoys the hell out of me since it removed the ability to just focus the app, I have to click the button then click a tab (changing the active tab in the process), dragging a file onto the taskbar icon isn't much better.

Oh, I never encountered that problem personally. I use TabMix plus, so if that did happen I could just close and re-open and have all my tabs back?

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.

      A study by physicist Henry Tye of Cornell University suggests that the universe may not expand forever. Instead, it could eventually stop expanding, begin contracting and end in a "Big Crunch" roughly 20 billion years from now. Maybe not as we now know that time can flow backwards.

      Of course. Simply reverse the polarity.

      It is clear from this aricle that "Time Is On My Side" no matter which direction it is flowing., https://noai.duckduckgo.com/?i...m%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DsEj8lUx0gwY
