There's customisation, and there's uglification. Your browser screenshot falls into the latter category.

Toolbar transparency

#navigator-toolbox:not([tabsontop=true]) #nav-bar
{
-moz-box-shadow: threedshadow 0 -1px inset !important;
padding-bottom: 7px !important;
}

#navigator-toolbox:not([tabsontop=true]) toolbar:not(#nav-bar):not(#toolbar-menubar)
{
background-color: rgba(223,233,245,1) !important;
}

#main-window:not([sizemode="maximized"]) #navigator-toolbox:not([tabsontop=true]) toolbar:not(#nav-bar):not(#toolbar-menubar)
{
border-left: 1px solid threedshadow !important;
border-right: 1px solid threedshadow !important;
}

#navigator-toolbox:not([tabsontop=true]) #PersonalToolbar
{
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, rgba(255,255,255,1), rgba(255,255,255,0)) !important;
}

#navigator-toolbox:not([tabsontop="true"]) #TabsToolbar
{
padding-top: 2px !important;
}

#navigator-toolbox[tabsontop=true]
{
border-bottom: 1px solid threedshadow !important;
}

#navigator-toolbox[tabsontop=true] #TabsToolbar
{
-moz-box-shadow: inset threedshadow 0px -1px !important;
}

#navigator-toolbox[tabsontop=true] toolbar:not(#TabsToolbar):not(#toolbar-menubar)
{
background-color: rgba(223,233,245,.6) !important;
}

#main-window:not([sizemode="maximized"]) #navigator-toolbox[tabsontop=true] toolbar:not(#TabsToolbar):not(#toolbar-menubar)
{
border-left: 1px solid threedshadow !important;
border-right: 1px solid threedshadow !important;
}

#navigator-toolbox[tabsontop=true] #nav-bar
{
padding-top: 5px !important;
padding-bottom: 5px !important;
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, rgba(242,246,251,1), rgba(255,255,255,.0)) !important;
}

.tabbrowser-tab[selected=true]
{
font-weight: bold !important;
}

Play with the opacity of the rgba values (the 4th number in each series) to tweak it how you'd like. The most important part is

#navigator-toolbox[tabsontop=true] toolbar:not(#TabsToolbar):not(#toolbar-menubar)

{

background-color: rgba(223,233,245,.6) !important;

}

July 13th retained layers build is out. It fixes some issues (flash issues), but not all.

Also there has been work on 576169, which should help Direct2D performance.

Support for specifying OpenType feature tags via CSS landed in the latest nightly, it's quite cool but the real good stuff will come with support for the normal, cascading CSS properties.

It only works with the HarfBuzz shaper enabled, and it's only enabled by default on OS X at the moment (and even then just for "simple" scripts)

Firefox 4.0 Final - November ~ December

I can wait for that. There isnt any (good) reason to use a beta browser.

Here's something most of you probably haven't tried out yet: Minefield using the Windows Classic theme. I tried it out while updating my Windows XP VM.

Looks sub-optimal at best imho.

That looks very nice. Good use of screen space, the Firefox button and the tabs are on the same row, how I think it should be on all versions.

...

99% of that comes from the fact that it's Windows Classic.

It should look better when support for themed, non-DWM windows is in (Only if you're using a theme though, Classic users are out of luck, regardless of the host OS)

Clicking the link to the .xpi file should trigger the add-on install mechanism.

[Richard Hammond]

Its not working it just asks me to download it, and if i drag it into minefield nothing happens.

*edit* just reinstalled latest nightly its working again now, wierd.

Hm. I copy/pasted the link into the address bar, pressed enter and was prompted to install the extension. Using the OS X version of Minefield if that makes any difference.

Is there any way of controlling the amount of transparency i dont want it totally transparent.

*edit* answered my own question if you replace :

background: transparent !important;

with:

background-color: rgba(0, 255, 0, 0.5) !important;

the first 3 numbers are obviously an RGB colour but the 4th number is opacity between 0 being full transparent and 1 being fully opaque.

It'll be interesting when they reduce the cost of calls and hook in the Tracing JIT.

TraceMonkey is currently very very fast at some things, and very very slow at others, in certain benchmarks it beats every competitor, but other tests in the benchmark drag the score down (in some SunSpider test it's 4x faster than SquirrelFish and V8, yet it has a lower overall score). When it's hooked into the Method JIT it should boost the speed a bit (They excel in 2 different areas, by hooking them together properly you'll get all the benefits of both, and none of the slowdowns)
