Is directwrite and 2d acceleration meant to be finalized for the final version as well? With those enabled, the nighties still aren't as stable as I think a beta should be. Pretty damn close though.

For 4.0 Final yes. But I think it won't be enabled by default until Beta 2.

did you uninstall then reinstall

if so then you probably didn't check "delete profile and data" in the uninstaller, leaving your settings and that intact when you reinstalled

You're right. I didn't check the "delete profile and data" option. But I didn't want to lose my bookmarks, add-ons, and RSS feeds. Is there a way I can back-up all of these things?

Go into your profile folder, on Windows, just copy/paste this directly into explorer: %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles

There will be a folder named a bunch of numbers and letters. Copy that folder somewhere.

Now delete it from the profiles folder.

When you reinstall the stable Firefox, just delete the Minefield profile and move your old folder back.

Some better cleaned up stylish code for you guys.

100% tabs on top without any overlay.

Smaller Firefox Button

Dark Firefox Button

Realigned Buttons in Tab bar

So it should look like this.

*NOTE* Still looking to fix the FavIconizeTab addon.

C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles if your on vista or 7

what are you talking about, i copied and pasted it directly from my windows explorer and deleted my username

Yeah, %APPDATA% = C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming,

thus making %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles equivalent to C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles

    • I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.
    • I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.
    • The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.
    • I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
