Seeing as there's the beta start (apparently) in June, are we not going to see Firefox looking like the concept images they posted a while ago? Seems like the design hasn't had much improvement as of late. Or will the aero be bringing this in?

Aero will not bring those features , they are separate

We might see all those UI updates in beta , till then keep checking planet.firefox.com and https://wiki.mozilla...irefox/Projects

Thanks, I hope we do get what they propose in their concept art for Firefox 4.

To me , some of the things are like impossible or time-consuming to land , so i doubt that they will bring everything for us in time

Anyways , there is always a 4.1 :p

Position of tabs look a bit wonky there.

Yeah, they're going to make the non-glass region be inset by a couple of pixels so that the border is hidden, meaning the tabs will be flush with the top of the webpage.

It's a very very early theme currently though (tabs and buttons are the only new things), so there's going to be issues (Like D2D + Glass = Bad)

Is that for real? That theme looks horrible.

Someone obviously doesn't understand the concept of 'pre-beta' :rofl:

But in all seriousness, the tabs need fixing, they have chopped corners rather than rounded ones, but it's too late, I've moved to Chrome. Sorry Firefox and thanks for all the years.

Still no glass+d2d?

Nope.

This build also has major issues with embedded flash videos. Go to youtube and they work fine, watch an embedded video in the forum and Flash dies.

Add-ons in a tab... one of the many things I absolutely hate in Chrome, I really hope Mozilla does not push forward with this implementation :(

Edit:

I like having my search/address bar combined, makes things a bit faster. They should at least make it a configurable option, as many casual users don't mess with about:config stuff

The good thing about having Downloads,add on in a tab is that you dont get pop ups as a new window and having popups makes the task bar cluttered.

I'll try it now but i have a few questions:

Is it using the Out of Process plugins?

Yes, while you're using a plugin, in task manager you'll find a process called "plugin-container.exe"

Will implement the electrolysis project(each tab each process)?

No, as far as i know.

And will implement the WebM project?

Not this version.

at http://nightly.mozilla.org/webm you can find a version with early webm support.

      If you actually used it instead of responding like a petulant child you might be surprised. I switched from Google some time ago and have been very satisfied.
    • [NEWS] Over 105000 games are available to play on Linux.

      I am one of the first people to use the DXVK technology. In the channel below you can see some videos that I have made using this technology, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. https://www.youtube.com/@nahum7995/videos Assassin's Creed Odyssey experienced several bugs and technical issues during its first months after release. It launched with its own fair share of funny but frustrating glitches. I ran it on DXVK 9 days after its release and I played it for many hours but didn't see a single significant bug on Linux. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is widely celebrated for pushing the franchise in bold new directions and specifically for nailing several elements better than any other title in the AC series: Player Choice & Branching Narrative, The Mercenary & Cultist System, Mythological Integration, Overpowered Combat Abilities, Open World Exploration But what I'm trying to point out is that this game wasn't quite playable on most windows systems, until a few months after its release when most of the bugs were fixed. However, on Linux it ran completely flawless from day one, although DXVK had seen little development and refinement at the time. What do you think the situation will be in 2026 now that most bugs and glitches of DXVK have been completely eliminated? This is information from Google about these situations that I am quoting. In many cases, using DXVK (a translation layer that converts DirectX 9, 10, or 11 into Vulkan) can result in more stable frame times and higher performance than native Windows rendering. This happens primarily by bypassing driver overhead and multithreading draw calls that were previously restricted to a single CPU core. Older APIs (like DirectX 9 and 11) are largely single-threaded on the CPU side. DXVK translates these calls to Vulkan, which is highly multi-threaded. This reduces CPU-bound stuttering on weaker processors. In certain cases, GPU manufacturers (especially AMD) have significantly better and more modern Vulkan drivers than they do for legacy DirectX. Vulkan gives developers—and in this case, the translation layer—closer control over how resources are held in VRAM. This can prevent micro-stutters and sudden frame drops during chaotic gameplay. Yes, certain games, particularly older DirectX 9 to 11 titles, can run with fewer crashes on DXVK than on native Windows. By intercepting DirectX draw calls and translating them into the modern, highly efficient Vulkan API, DXVK bypasses the limitations and poor driver support that cause instability in aging game engines. PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 can be easily and perfectly emulated on Linux. In fact, modern Linux emulators offer high-performance upscaling, widescreen patches, and automatic controller mapping out of the box.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 PlayStation 1/2/3 games look drastically better on Linux thanks to resolution upscaling. Furthermore, it is also a fact that you cannot play many fun games on Windows either, isn't it? - The Nintendo Switch has an extensive library of exclusive games. - PlayStation has an extensive library of exclusive games - Android has "mobile-exclusive" games, meaning they are exclusive to mobile devices (iOS and Android) and aren't available on PC or consoles. And finally, it is also the case that in the next five years there will be games that millions of people will say you absolutely must play and that they want to play this specific game that released a few days ago. However, the other side of this story is that currently, absolutely no one cares that they cannot play these upcoming games right now.
