Meet Firefox 4.0.1

[+KibosJ Subscriber²]

I see where the development team is going with the nightly builds, but it's far from usable right now. Looking forward to the final.

Really looking forward to the final too :)

The builds are perfectly usable for me though, I have no problems at the moment. Browsing is fine, scrolling is fine, display is fine. All with D2D turned on :/

By the way, for anyone who wants rid of the new menu button completely:

#appmenu-button-container{
display: none !important;
}

I don't like the orange button wasting 60 pixels of the browser window's height, why not put it on the title bar? Are they trying to copy how MS left an empty title bar in Win7's explorer window?

The UI mockups show it in the titlebar, it's still a work in progress.

What version of Stylish do you have installed?

Check in the addons manager and make sure it is 1.0.10 :)

[Richard Hammond]

1.0.9 doesn't work correctly with the nightlies :/

That's the latest development version of stylish which works correctly with Minefield :)

Or you can just edit userChrome.css for application styles or userContent.css for web styles using notepad. Both are located in your profile under Chrome. Usually in a location like shown below:

C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxxx.default\chrome\

Styles can be found here:

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

AWESOME! That makes it look A LOT BETTER!

It's a nice step up. However Firefox always felt slow and bulky to me on Mac OS X. Not to mention the many UI inconsistencies with the "real" Aqua.

I think it's amusing how every browser is trying to copy Chrome's layout and minimality now. And, how about a progress bar option on the Mac dock?

I think it's amusing how people keep forgetting it's Safari and Mac OS X Panther's Finder that first introduced this particular clean toolbar button style and minimal window design all the way back in 2003...

This topic is not about Mac OS X Panther's Finder or Safari. The gentlemen that posted this topic meant if to be used as he stated in the OP.

I will use this thread to post significant updates on Firefox. And want you all to contribute by not creating similar threads , we can have all the discussion related to Firefox 4.0 here. It will be wonderful if you also post your search here

Hes using position:fixed, so it will always be in that same spot, even on popup windows.

Edit: Add this to Sylish.

window[chromehidden="*"] #appmenu-button {
 display: none !important;
}

Didn't work for me, my popups are still with the button on top of address bar :(

I made a mistake. Try this.

window:not([chromehidden=""]) #appmenu-button {
 display: none !important;
}

Now it works! Thanks!!

I hope they get some semi transparent backgrounds into the glass areas; right now the amount of glass is a bit overkill.

I hope they fix the corners on the tabs. They look hideous.

Glass is now used only for tabs and title bar only , similar to Chrome/Opera...

Need not to worry , everything is in the to-do list :) :

Tab Corner Tweaks

Tab+NavBar Connecting Curve Adjustments

Tabs-on-Bottom ActiveTab Texture Tweak

Tabs-on-Bottom ActiveTab Needs Bottom Separator

NewTab "tab" Missing Outer Curve

Chrome and Opera (default skin, not custom) don't apply glass to the navigation bar. As it stands in the current Firefox nightly build, it looks a little messy.

In addition to that, inactive tabs look pretty bad with the shadowed text effect if your wallpaper is dark.

Are you sure you saw the screenshots?

It is only tabs on bottom and bookmarks bar disabled when Glass is over used , rest is fine

And if you like Opera/Chrome design , then use tabs on top , it would be easy for you to use it , like it is for me ;)

[Denis W. Veteran]

Yeah, I meant with "Tabs on top" unticked. With it on, it looks fine.

BTW if you are using tabs on bottom , it really looks bad. I hope they soon do something to that (i mean without bookmarks' bar)

[bogas04]

Tab animations (for opening for now) landed!

Is it just me or does the Google toolbar not work with these nightly builds? (i.e: I can type in search terms, but when I click search, nothing happens.)
