Where can I obtain Firefox 4 Beta 1?

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

It's not released yet, everyone in this topic is just running nightly builds.

That's not the final Beta 1 though, it's just a candidate

This has been answered quite a few times in the thread before.

Set:

extensions.checkCompatibility.4.0b;false

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.

i miss understood this, it made me think that it wasn't usable anymore :D thanks

Nice downloading now. Does it install alongside current firefox or over it?

Alongside in the programs and features, dont know if you can use both at once, but uninstalling it left 3.6.6 working fine for me

OP should rename thread to "Firefox 4.0 Beta 1 Pre"

Or am I confused?

[LittleNeutrino Veteran]

Also it looks horrible on Windows XP

[drotaru]

so not the real deal yet , just another nightly build ? when is the real thing coming out ?

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

That's a candidate build, might not end up being the "final" beta.

[Phenom II]

Yea I just found out :pinch: thanks

When they fix it I guess, mine was missing the minimise / max / close button and had problems posting with

Pics of the XP version?

[torrentthief]

correct this isn't beta 1, its just a candidate for beta 1, some bugs need fixing before beta 1 is actually released, won't be ready for a few days atleast.

Please close this topic as the other topic covers this.

Here you go.

I see they have not implemented the ability to install/update addons without having to restart the browser.

Also 97 on Acid 3

The one big thing for me is that I can't move the bookmarks button over next to the home button. The layout makes no sense... why arrows pointing to the right when the sub-menu opens to the left?

Just discovered this: You can't move the bookmark button itself, but you can move both the URL bar and the search bar to the right of the bookmark button -- same effect.

This will possible only with jetpack-based addons.

This thread covers the development of Firefox 4. The title needs an update, but the thread is fine as it is.

Addons have to switch to the new framework to take advantage of the lack of restart. It's there.

Meanwhile, oh god, Acid 3 again.

[LightShadow]

Stylish not working... I'm on the 4.0 beta 2 nightly as mine says... Why is it Beta 2... When the Menu is still not working! I'm annoyed at having to use the menu to update or change big settings since the new menu is too small and lacks everything.

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

This will possible only with jetpack-based addons.

It doesn't have to be based on Jetpack, it can be a "old style" extension as long as it plays by a few rules.

They're called "bootstrapped" addons.

Edit: It's not going to get 100/100 on Acid3, Mozilla have no plans to implement SVG fonts (They lack the hinting info TTF/OTF/WOFF fonts have, and their only "benefit" is that they can include animations and colours)
