ABP not compatible with alpha 6 pre :(

And that's terrible... I was neither able to bump the installer, because when i tried to install the bumped version from locale minefield gave me download error....

EDIT: it got updated on mozilla addons and now it's compatible! :)

One Little thing I'm not a fan of with firefox 3.7/4 is clicking the icon in the super bar doesn't bring up the window... instead it shows your tabs... I would prefer it to be the opposite, click on the icon to open your current selected tab and hover over the icon to bring up the thumbnails.

It feels slower and unnatural the way Mozilla have implemented it.

Yeah, it's a pretty annoying feature, but people want it.

In about:config there should be a preference called "browser.taskbar.previews.enable" (or so), set that to false to go back to the old behaviour.

Just a shame they cant push the tabs up into the title bar so much wasted space there.

Actually, its called Title bar drawing , and they have ideas to place the Firefox menu button there ,also the edit bar ,, but not the tabs .

Lemme show you a pic..

NOTE : This is still not final , just mockups , and edit bar will appear only when needed

Guys, please tell me why the hell I want so much glass at the top of the browser? I tried it and the inactive tabs are unreadable and basically looks like crap at the top.. Depending entirely of course what Wallpaper you have on Windows, well I use the default one.. and it makes the top of the browser look totally unfriendly and harder to use :/

When the design is closer to being finished all those small bugs should be worked out (like unreadable text)

Another feature which landed today (I think the bug was closed as "RESOLVED AWESOME") is HarfBuzz shaping support. It's not finished yet (HarfBuzz that is), but it'll allow websites to toggle OpenType features on and off via CSS. And it should help unify font rendering support across platforms (CoreText doesn't support the same OpenType feature set as Uniscribe, same with DirectWrite and such)

Well then why do you have a menubar + a bookmarks bar with nothing on it...

You're creating the ugly ass UI with all your settings.

      The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?
    • Browser vendors pen open letter to Microsoft saying "enough is enough"

      Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with ad blockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Samsung Browser'. It has very little bloat and is a nice-looking web browser with an inbuilt 'Ad blocker'. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. This browser can also install Chrome extensions. I have a system wide Ad blocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the web browser, but over the whole system. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt ad blocker because of that.
