That's a complete shot in the dark as I haven't this beta installed but maybe try: extensions.checkCompatibility.4.0b2 or something along that.

extensions.checkCompatibility.4.0b

Thanks i`ll give that a go, problem was it didnt check the addons, it was the actual addons themselves that said no compatible, but `ill try :)

Naa... things like speeddial arent working still

and now I lost the aero and am stuck with 3.6.6 theme

The more and more I think about it, the more I like the new design. I just wonder what I'm going to do with the toolbar buttons that some of my addons create... Does anyone know what the plan is for these?

Mind sharing a link?

can anyone tell me why i have 2 new tab buttons ? there is one immediately after my last open tab and also one fixed to the right hand side of the tab bar (see screenshot)

also does anyone else find it annoying that when you double click on the tab bar it restores the window to non maximized and vice versa, because i used to double click on the tab bar to open a new tab but now i can not i hope they change that back to its old behavior.

also is it possible to remove the little close [x] that's on the far right of the tab bar because it is useless when i press it it doesn't close the open tab anyway i have to use the close [x] that's visible on the tab itself to close the tab, maybe a stylish script or a userchrome.css mod. please let me know if its possible thanks.

Restore to default config (Menu button>Toolbar Layout>Reset)

Its a known bug

To remove that cross button , go to about:config and set

browser.tabs.closeButtons

to 1

App tabs have landed in the hourlies. Working pretty well, though they don't remain app tabbed over a restart :(.

post-303978-12783607735278.jpg

I've got Facebook running as an App tab there. They work exactly like normal tabs, but without the title text and always stay on the left of the tabbar.

Hmm, where can I get these hourlies again?

And how do I put the tabs in the titlebar as the person above me?

Windows hourlies can be found here

Tabs in the title bar involves using the addon Stylish or adding it to userChrome.css.

The code I use can be found here (It moves the tabs to the very top and changes the Firefox text on the menu (or was it 'Minefield', I forget) to the Firefox logo). There's a lot of different variations on the code floating around. A few people have posted theirs throughout the thread which you might find more suitable.

Is it better to use the hourlies, or should I stick with the nightlies?

depends on what you want, the nightlies tend to be more stable since they're all the refined code from all the hourlies of the day

Because curiosity gets the better of me I've gone back to using the hourly builds. I've gotten Omnibar, Adblock Plus , Downthemall! and Fastdial working fine, but I still desperately need a working version of Stylish. It seems people are using Stylish on 4.0b2pre, so.... what Stylish build are you guys using and where are you getting it?

Thanks for the reply. I think I'll just stick with the nightlies for now then. What are the chances that the App Tabs end up in tomorrow's nightly?

pretty high, they compile the nightly at the end of the day from all they did with the hourlies,

so yeah, if it's in an hourly you will most likely see it in the next nightly

though it's kinda ironic how they call them nightlies but they always seem to be compiled and uploaded around 12:30 or so in the morning

:)

    • If you actually used it instead of responding like a petulant child you might be surprised. I switched from Google some time ago and have been very satisfied.
    • I am one of the first people to use the DXVK technology. In the channel below you can see some videos that I have made using this technology, including Assassin's Creed Odyssey. https://www.youtube.com/@nahum7995/videos Assassin's Creed Odyssey experienced several bugs and technical issues during its first months after release. It launched with its own fair share of funny but frustrating glitches. I ran it on DXVK 9 days after its release and I played it for many hours but didn't see a single significant bug on Linux. Assassin's Creed Odyssey is widely celebrated for pushing the franchise in bold new directions and specifically for nailing several elements better than any other title in the AC series: Player Choice & Branching Narrative, The Mercenary & Cultist System, Mythological Integration, Overpowered Combat Abilities, Open World Exploration But what I'm trying to point out is that this game wasn't quite playable on most windows systems, until a few months after its release when most of the bugs were fixed. However, on Linux it ran completely flawless from day one, although DXVK had seen little development and refinement at the time. What do you think the situation will be in 2026 now that most bugs and glitches of DXVK have been completely eliminated? This is information from Google about these situations that I am quoting. In many cases, using DXVK (a translation layer that converts DirectX 9, 10, or 11 into Vulkan) can result in more stable frame times and higher performance than native Windows rendering. This happens primarily by bypassing driver overhead and multithreading draw calls that were previously restricted to a single CPU core. Older APIs (like DirectX 9 and 11) are largely single-threaded on the CPU side. DXVK translates these calls to Vulkan, which is highly multi-threaded. This reduces CPU-bound stuttering on weaker processors. In certain cases, GPU manufacturers (especially AMD) have significantly better and more modern Vulkan drivers than they do for legacy DirectX. Vulkan gives developers—and in this case, the translation layer—closer control over how resources are held in VRAM. This can prevent micro-stutters and sudden frame drops during chaotic gameplay. Yes, certain games, particularly older DirectX 9 to 11 titles, can run with fewer crashes on DXVK than on native Windows. By intercepting DirectX draw calls and translating them into the modern, highly efficient Vulkan API, DXVK bypasses the limitations and poor driver support that cause instability in aging game engines. PlayStation 1, PlayStation 2 and PlayStation 3 can be easily and perfectly emulated on Linux. In fact, modern Linux emulators offer high-performance upscaling, widescreen patches, and automatic controller mapping out of the box.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 PlayStation 1/2/3 games look drastically better on Linux thanks to resolution upscaling. Furthermore, it is also a fact that you cannot play many fun games on Windows either, isn't it? - The Nintendo Switch has an extensive library of exclusive games. - PlayStation has an extensive library of exclusive games - Android has "mobile-exclusive" games, meaning they are exclusive to mobile devices (iOS and Android) and aren't available on PC or consoles. And finally, it is also the case that in the next five years there will be games that millions of people will say you absolutely must play and that they want to play this specific game that released a few days ago. However, the other side of this story is that currently, absolutely no one cares that they cannot play these upcoming games right now.

    • I found that stability back then was really down to the motherboard manufacturer. Back then i stuck with Microstar motherboards and VIA chipsets as they were ultra reliable. Most stuff was done with jumpers and left little room for user created problems 👍
