FF were the first to have tabs, tabs on the top is an option it can be changed if anyone watch the dev video, but I have been using Firefox since 3 and have been impressed and happy since, Google just wants a piece of the pie. I love Google as a homepage but the browser just does not cut it for me. But IE started it all, with the key to the internet and now its in the dust. But it will regain its thrown with IE9. :shifty:

Really, what kind of bugs are you experiencing?

I'm developing themes for it and using it as my main browser and it seems to be working fine here.

Most annoying one is having to double click into the reply post message box, 1st click looks like the cursor is waiting for typing, but halfway through the sentence you realise it is not typing and it requires another click (happens on laptop and desktop)

Freezing - I get tabs non responsive, and when I try to shut down FF it freezes and I need to click the dropdown box and choose exit, or use task manager

Aero - suddenly turns black / grey / basic and is no longer transparent

All of those issues here, the replying issue is the most annoying one though, happens to me every time!

Yeah at small font sizes it simply looks worse than what we currently have. It does look better with large font sizes though.

I don't like DirectWrite at all in Firefox.

I've grown used to it in Steam, but in Firefox it looks as though some letter are blurry, some are crisp, and some are in-between.

Yea, it does look nice at a decent size, but it's just so crumbly and horrid in small sizes. Perhaps MS will improve this. I generally much prefer the OS X font render.

Yea very annoying, Im downloading the latest nightly build, see if anything has been fixed yet

Yep - the double click post issue is fixed in the latest nightly build :)

you sure about that Phenom? Still does it here, did you restart minefield twice before trying? I think Direct write doesn't start working until second restart right now.

Anyone managed to disable the addon compatibility check on the latest nightly build yet ?

I installed the beta but i still get the old theme.... Can someone tell me why?post-54931-12786389708561.jpg

Hide menu bar :)

How can you get stylish on the latest minefield 4.0b2 build? I got the Dev build updated today... It installed and shows the icon. But I can't use any of the menu options to add styles or anything.

Don't really care as much about interface, but I do care about,

1. Retained Layers

2. Fixing newly introduced and old D2D Issues

3. moz fv method+tracing JIT

still uses way to much ram for a browser, i mean 100meg to display pretty much nothing wtf?

You should be expecting crashes, memory leaks, high memory usage, rendering errors and GUI bugs.

have u ever run chrome 5?Opera 10.5+? Probably no

3. moz fv method+tracing JIT <- Me too :D

True , but GUI matters too , one would like a Lamborghini than f1

still uses way to much ram for a browser, i mean 100meg to display pretty much nothing wtf?

I don't know what system you have but if you have a newer system why care about 100mb? oO

I only run at 3GB because I cba to do everything anew for 64bit Win7 but my Firefox runs all the time with 600mb since I have around 30-40 tabs always open and I can still play games very fine.... :whistle:

AOM History and Future

Nice article ,,, also see how they are aiming to make AOM look like in FF4

Don't ask me where are caption buttons and "new tab button"

Hopefully there will be a slim list option hidden somewhere in the menu there. Scrolling through a list of anything more than 10 add-ons in a list that size would be difficult and annoying...

    • BATorrent 3.0.2 by Razvan Serea BATorrent is a lightweight, open-source BitTorrent client built with modern C++ and Qt 6, offering a clean, fast, and privacy-focused alternative to traditional torrent apps. It supports magnet links, .torrent files, resume data, sequential downloading, per-file priorities, and even imports from qBittorrent. Power users benefit from integrated RSS auto-download with regex filtering, duplicate detection, and automatic tracker lists from Stremio. Streaming is seamless thanks to auto-detected players like VLC and IINA. BATorrent includes robust VPN tools—interface binding, auto-detection for WireGuard-based services like Mullvad and NordLynx, kill switch, proxy support, and IP filtering. A full WebUI enables remote control, while integrations with Plex, Jellyfin, and Emby automate library updates. With themes, speed scheduling, system-tray alerts, and cross-platform support for Windows, Linux, and macOS, BATorrent delivers a polished, high-performance torrenting experience. BATorrent features: Core .torrent file and magnet link support Resume data — picks up where you left off after restart Import torrents from qBittorrent Create .torrent files from any file or folder Sequential download mode Per-file priority control (skip, low, normal, high) Seed ratio limits with auto-pause DHT, PEX, UPnP, NAT-PMP RSS Auto-Download Subscribe to RSS feeds — automatically download new torrents as they appear Regex filters — match only what you want (e.g. 1080p|720p, S01E\d+) Per-feed settings — custom save path, check interval (5–1440 min), enable/disable Auto-download — matched items are downloaded automatically in the background Supports magnet links, .torrent URLs, and tags Tray notifications when items are auto-downloaded Duplicate detection — never downloads the same item twice Stremio Stremio Addon System pre-installed — works out of the box Auto tracker list from ngosang/trackerslist Streaming Play while downloading — stream video files before the download is complete Supports mp4, mkv, avi, mov, wmv, flv, webm, m4v, ts Auto-detects installed players (VLC, IINA, system default) VPN & Privacy Interface binding — lock torrent traffic to a specific network interface (e.g. tun0) Auto VPN detection — identifies VPN interfaces (tun, tap, WireGuard, Mullvad, NordLynx, ProtonVPN) Kill switch — automatically pauses all torrents if the VPN interface drops Auto-resume — resumes only the torrents paused by the kill switch when VPN reconnects Proxy support — SOCKS5 and HTTP proxy with optional authentication IP filtering — load P2P blocklists to block unwanted IP ranges Protocol encryption (enabled / forced / disabled) WebUI Remote management — control torrents from any browser at http://localhost:8080 REST API with JSON responses Add torrents via magnet link or .torrent upload Pause, resume, remove torrents remotely View peers and files per torrent Dark theme matching the desktop app HTTP Basic Auth with SHA-256 password hashing Configurable port and remote access (localhost vs 0.0.0.0) Interface 3 themes: Dark, Light, Midnight (bat/vampire aesthetic) Real-time speed graph Detailed panel with tabs: General, Peers, Files, Trackers Filter bar: search by name, filter by state (Active, Downloading, Seeding, Paused, Finished) Drag & drop .torrent files and magnet links Drag & drop reorder in torrent list System tray with notifications (download complete, kill switch events, RSS auto-downloads) Splash screen with bat animation Bilingual: English and Portuguese (BR), auto-detected from system locale Bandwidth Scheduler Alternative speed limits — set different download/upload limits on a schedule Time range — configure active hours (e.g. 01:00 to 07:00), supports overnight ranges Per-day control — choose which days of the week the schedule applies Automatically switches between normal and alternative speeds Media Server Integration Plex — automatically trigger library scan when a download completes Jellyfin / Emby — same automatic library refresh via API Configure server URL and authentication token/key in Settings System Cross-platform: Windows, Linux, macOS Auto-shutdown — automatically shut down PC when all downloads complete (60s cancellable countdown) Auto-update system (AppImage on Linux, installer on Windows, DMG on macOS) CLI arguments: pass .torrent files or magnet: URIs directly Keyboard shortcuts: Space to toggle pause, Ctrl+A to select all, Ctrl+O to open BATorrent 3.0.2 changelog: Phone pairing & WebUI The browser WebUI was reskinned to match the desktop app — same dark palette, Inter font, flat surfaces, the real BATorrent logo (it was a random bat before), and a proper magnet icon. It now looks like the same product, not a separate dashboard. Pairing is one tap and zero typing: the generated WebUI password is now copyable, and the QR code carries the credentials — scanning it from your phone logs straight in (no typing the IP or password), then drops the credentials from the address bar. Search Two new providers: RuTor (CIS sources, no login, via a public TorAPI relay) and Torrents-CSV. Results are sorted by seeders (healthiest first), and each search now times out after 15 s so one dead provider can't hang the UI. Files & trackers Per-file priority is back: right-click a file in the detail panel to set Skip / Low / Normal / High. Rename an individual file inside a torrent (double-click or the file menu), separate from renaming the torrent. Remove a tracker from a torrent (the ✕ on a tracker row); adding was already there. Smart Paste on Ctrl+V — paste a magnet, a 40-char info-hash, or a .torrent URL straight from the clipboard and it's added immediately (text fields still paste text normally). Covers & titles Anime fansub naming ([Group] Title - NN) now resolves to the right show. Audio channel layouts in titles (DDP5.1, 7.1, …) are stripped so they don't pollute cover matching. Under the hood The legacy QWidget interface is gone. QML had been the only UI since 3.0.0 (reachable old code lived behind a hidden --legacy flag); with parity confirmed, the entire QWidget layer — main window, every dialog, the theme manager — was removed (~13,400 lines). The four restored actions above were features that backend already supported but the QML port had never wired. macOS: the WebUI password hash moved out of the keychain into app settings, so launching the app no longer pops a login-keychain password prompt on unsigned builds. The actual password still lives in the keychain. Cleanup: ~400 orphaned translation strings and a batch of dead code removed; internal duplication collapsed; an ARCHITECTURE.md added for contributors. Unit / security / memory tests and the ASan/UBSan/TSan sanitizers stay green.

    • How about a global switch to turn the awful things off instead of a registry hack? Then everyone wins.
    • This doesn't strike me as so shocking when... " IT admins do have some control over this rollout. If they choose to opt out, devices in their tenant won't automatically get the dreaded Copilot app"
