Meet Firefox 4.0.1

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

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.

@namespace Warboy;

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

#navigator-toolbox[tabsontop="true"] #TabsToolbar{
padding-left: 95px !important;
}


#navigator-toolbox[tabsontop="true"] #TabsToolbar{
padding-left: 85px !important;
padding-top:1px !important;
padding-right:108px !important;
}


#appmenu-button{
padding: 0px 13px 0px 10px !important;
margin-top:1px !important;
}

#appmenu-button
{
background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.6) !important;
}

#appmenu-button .button-text { display:none !important; }
#appmenu-button dropmarker:before { content: "Firefox" !important; 
}

How are you supposed to move the window around?

Some observations:

all my add-ons are incompatible.

no favicons in taskbar jumplist.

scrolling is much smoother :D , but all plugins are broken :cry:

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

They work fine for me, are you using the 32bit build?

[ObiWanToby]

This build does seem pretty polished. Once extension support starts coming, it will be hard to use the 3.6 branch of Firefox again, even through the Beta phase.

What amazes me is, even with integrated graphics, webpages are much faster with GPU acceleration.

Like this one http://people.mozilla.com/~vladimir/demos/photos.svg

[aznkid25]

They work fine for me, are you using the 32bit build?

Yeah I am. But I think that it just happened to be that none of the add-ons I use are compatible.

[aznkid25]

How can I force install add-ons in this 4.0 beta? I have tried setting "extensions.checkCompatibility" to false in about:config, but it still doesn't work.

extensions.checkCompatibility.4.0b;false

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

Yeah, extensions.checkCompatibility only applies to 3.5 and lower, it's now a per version check so people don't set it and forget it.

[Warboy]

How are you supposed to move the window around?

Use the space between the Back/Forward buttons and the Firefox button to move it, and/or when you only have a few tabs open, use a free space on the right.

[aznkid25]

extensions.checkCompatibility.4.0b;false

Thanks. That worked for me. But I was experiencing too many problems with my add-ons enabled (Especially with Greasemonkey, with an endless loop of tabs opening). So I think I'll keep them disabled for now. Also, now that this beta is out, is there any purpose in keeping Minefield installed?

[LightShadow]

For this new build... Is the menu fixed? Like does it have more options that it has. Hate having to use ALT to get the full menu up to get the options like update etc.

Nope its the same as the Minefield menu :/

This fixes Greasemonkey:

In file extensions/{e4a8a97b-f2ed-450b-b12d-ee082ba24781}/content/config.js, around line 410 (search for "@mozilla.org/extensions/manager"), and replace the 4 lines (should be the same as the first 4 lines here only it's been commented) with the stuff below:

 /*var extMan = Components.classes["@[url="[url="[url="http://mozilla.org/extensions/manager;1"]http://mozilla.org/extensions/manager;1[/url]"][url="http://mozilla.org/extensions/manager;1"]http://mozilla.org/extensions/manager;1[/url][/url]"][url="[url="http://mozilla.org/extensions/manager;1"]http://mozilla.org/extensions/manager;1[/url]"][url="http://mozilla.org/extensions/manager;1"]mozilla.org/extensions/manager;1[/url][/url][/url]"]
 .getService(Components.interfaces.nsIExtensionManager);
 var item = extMan.getItemForID(GM_GUID);
 GM_prefRoot.setValue("version", item.version);*/
 Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/AddonManager.jsm");

 AddonManager.getAddonByID("{e4a8a97b-f2ed-450b-b12d-ee082ba24781}", function(addon) {
 GM_prefRoot.setValue("version", addon.version)
 });

About minefield, well it still will be updated daily, unlike FF beta 1 witch i assume will update to beta 2 or so...

They added some more options, none for the update yet.

<Snip>

It's because it's in the tab bar. When you put the buttons in the tab bar, they are stripped of their border.

Beta 1 is up ;)

[plasmarox]

A build marked 4.0b2pre is in the hourly build folder:

As always, this is the hourly build section so backup your profile etc before using.

Well yeah, that's because b1 has forked for release, so b1pre has been renamed b2pre.

[RoomKid]

Nice! About to update to beta 1.

[Inklin]

Hopefully now B1 is out the way there will be some more UI changes coming in the next few nightlies, they still have the address bar to work on (colored urls similar to IE I presume looking at the mock ups) and also the tab progress lines.

will the combined stop/reload button be moved into the address bar still?

[cagneyrat]

Where can I obtain Firefox 4 Beta 1?

On the Firefox Beta website it's not yet listed.
