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.

NOTE: This has just landed , so you have to wait for today's nightly to use it , or else download this hourly build

New UI Landed

Looks better than previous at least , but still needs some more fixes...

BTW now this is slightly resembling with the mockups

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.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
