Few more bugs got Review , so they might land soon :D

Add shadow tweaks to tabs

Firefox Button (just like a widget button , for example refresh)

I'm pretty sure they won't have everything done by the 24th, so don't be surprised if they delay it.

But today, things are changed! They are going to land tabs visual style just like the Mockups , even the Firefox menu button as a widget will land soon, further D2D and aero is fixed , except for vertical lines bug , which will land soon too. (NOTE : Soon here means in 1~2 days)

So now i think , that they might just make it by 24 June!

To install unsupported addons you should download the xpi file (right click on the green install button, "save link as"), then open the package with winrar, edit the "install.rdf" file, look for firefox version tag and edit it:

from Gmail manager's install.rdf:

<!-- Firefox -->
        <em:targetApplication>
            <Description>
                <em:id>{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}</em:id>
                <em:minVersion>1.0</em:minVersion>
                <em:maxVersion>3.6.*</em:maxVersion>
            </Description>
        </em:targetApplication>

change in

<!-- Firefox -->
        <em:targetApplication>
            <Description>
                <em:id>{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384}</em:id>
                <em:minVersion>1.0</em:minVersion>
                <em:maxVersion>3.7.*</em:maxVersion>
            </Description>
        </em:targetApplication>

and then install the package by dragging it inside firefox window.

Warning: if an addon is not compatible, forcing it to install may cause problems and instabilities to your firefox, so it's better to tweak only very recent addons, eg those compatible with 3.6.x firefox.

ps. if someone has problems with tabmixplus, here is a dev-build which works with 3.7a6pre

It looks like it just another 'toolbar' so it can't really be moved without making it super ugly :(

at the moment it can't be moved or hidden and I really disliked it, so i made a simple css script

@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);

#appmenu-button-container{
position: fixed !important;
}

#navigator-toolbox[tabsontop="true"] #TabsToolbar{
padding-left: 125px !important;
}

and the result is

I know its not final i just wondered if there was any way using CSS to shrink the button a bit. Its not a big deal.

you can use

#appmenu-button{
padding: 3px 9px 3px 9px !important;
}

values are: top - right - bottom - left

    • New Surface Pro with Qualcomm Snapdragon X2 leaks ahead of announcement

      By +samw61 · Posted

      Forgive my ignorance, but the only difference I see here is that a USB-A is now a USB-C, so there are two of them. For the modern age (and I'd argue since 2020), most products would now come with USB-C as an option, if not the default. Display, charging, devices, etc on TWO connectors, sometimes all combined! So having 2 of those powerful ports is great for something this size! Meanwhile my Surface Pro (5) has a single USB-A port which I cannot even get display out to, instead relying on some Surface Connect dock which I don't have. That is a poor experience, not to mention expensive and not compatible with other devices. Thank God USB-C is mainstream!

      wow. that color finally comes to Surface Pro. was always a little jelly when a friend had the sandstone Surface Laptop. I wonder how different this dune is from the sandstone. I'll be getting the dune version. always thought black and platinum were a little boring. I'll still have access to my blue Surface Pro 11 as it'll be a hand-me-down.
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By +samw61 · Posted

      Looks a very subjective aren't they!? I like its simple design. I love the way Apple designs their products with function over form, minimalization, and simplicity over cluttered complex designs. Many, not all, of their products follow this trend, and the device becomes a tool rather than dominating the space. I do not however like their OS. I have never bought a Apple product, and while I'd consider the Neo for my wife, I am hoping there are better alternatives out there when her failing MacBook Pro 2017 finally stops. Fischer-Price is famously plastic, garish, and poorly made. Basically you're describing the Window Laptops the Neo competes against! This is how product design should be, and what Apple have often followed in recent years: https://tenprinciples.design/
    • AV2, successor to popular YouTube, Netflix, Amazon codec AV1, has a hard battle ahead

      By Skyfrog · Posted

      Isn't that true for every codec? I remember having to buy a PCI MPEG-2 decoder card just so I could play DVDs on my computer back in the late 90s. AV1 support is still fairly new.
    • Apple MacBook Neo is a blessing for Windows users, here's why

      By +samw61 · Posted

      I'm no Apple fan, and have never bought an Apple product for myself. But I'd argue that where you think Apple is behind regarding an OLED display, that the vast majority of people out there wouldn't even know or care for an OLED. Apple have struck the balance well to create a price point that works, and I hope that PC manufactures, and Microsoft take notice. I'd argue that Asus will struggle to compete with the Neo BECAUSE they put in a more expensive OLED that many people won't actually notice with its deeper blacks. Most people wouldn't care either that their screen is stuck at 60Hz! When I bought a 4k monitor (future proof and for the space), my laptop could only push that out at 30Hz, and it worked fine for my needs for 1.5 years! Heck, the average human eye can't see more than 90Hz in many situations!! So while they are trying to differentiate themselves, and it may well gain them a few customers, for the most part, I think they're missing the point of what the Neo is for.
