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.

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution by Taras Buria Earlier this week, Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, its brand-new high-end laptop powered by NVIDIA's brand-new RTX Spark processor. As usual, Microsoft gives each new device a unique wallpaper, and the Surface Laptop Ultra is no exception. While the device is not publicly available yet, somebody has already extracted its wallpaper, giving everyone a chance to get a piece of the upcoming laptop in its full-resolution glory. The Surface Laptop Ultra has a very dark, abstract wallpaper that resembles the stock wallpapers in Windows Server, albeit with much less color. Having this dark, grim wallpaper highlights the laptop's mini-LED display and its ability to cut off parts of the screen's backlight to achieve OLED-like black levels. However, if you also like light wallpapers, we made a white version by simply inverting its colors. You can download both wallpapers below (click the image, right-click it, and select "Save as"): The Surface Laptop Ultra is expected to launch later this year. Microsoft is not revealing full details yet, including the price. However, Microsoft confirmed up to 1 petaflop of AI performance and RTX 5070-level of GPU performance. The heart of the laptop has up to 20 CPU cores and 6,144 GPU cores. Additionally, Microsoft and NVIDIA boast high CPU efficiency for all-day battery life. As for the display, it is a 15-inch mini-LED display with a pixel density of 262 ppi and a maximum brightness of 2,000 nits. Of course, not everyone needs this amount of power, and certainly not everyone can afford it. For those who need a more affordable device, Microsoft is also preparing the next-generation Surface Pro powered by the Snapdragon X2 Elite processor. Weeks ahead of the announcement, details about this computer were leaked by a retailer. Do you like the Surface Laptop Ultra's stock wallpaper? Share your thoughts in the comments.

    • Governments are ruining the internet to protect kids but there is a much better way

      By WaltC · Posted

      From all that I've read on the subject--not that much, really--it looks to me like companies and parents are trying to protect themselves from children using their parents accounts to run up giant bills, sometimes in the thousands of dollars, and the first the parents know about it is when they get sued... Internet companies have been sued for tailoring their ads to children, which is kind of old news. My belief is that policing starts at home with the parents, and the reason that so many laws that can't be enforced are being passed is because parents are eschewing their responsibilities, claiming not enough time, not enough knowledge, etc. Giving kids cell phones sans Internet connectivity is a good place to start--confine Internet activity to PCs in the home that the parents regulate. My kids are all grown and gone, I'm happy to say... They have their own kids to worry about.

    • [NEWS] Over 105000 games are available to play on Linux.

      By Case_f · Posted

      BTW DXVK is also available on Windows and offers similar benefits like on Linux when it comes to performance, at least in some titles. The Raceroom racing sim for example even offers DXVK as one of its officially supported options and it can achieve ridiculous improvements in certain situations, like quite literally doubling (or more) the framerates
