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

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...

    • Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.
    • In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.
    • Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.
    • The "Classic" Outlook has done that for a few years as well. The option to even change that is really hidden away too... It really shouldn't be hard to respect user defaults. Sadly we are the product now, not Outlook. To change in the Classic Outlook: File > Options > Advanced > change "Open hyperlinks from Outlook in"
