:cool:

What's the difference between "nightly/latest-trunk" & "tinderbox-builds" ?

[Darrian]

Tinderbox builds are "hourly." Nightly builds are once a day and incorporate all the work that was done in the hourly builds.

Ok, so if I install the "tinderbox" over my "latest-trunk" will it update every hour or must I uninstall & reinstall?

[Darrian]

Actually, I think it will autoupdate to the next nightly build. I only got updates once a day until I turned off autoupdating. Either way, you don't have to uninstall, you can always install any Minefield (or Firefox) build on top of what you have installed (if you go from Firefox to Minefield or vice versa you'll have to specify where you want it installed, in my case I just keep it in C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox, so that way when it gets to the RC stage I can stop using Minefield builds and I won't have 2 separate installations). I recommend you only go forward in your upgrading, though; downgrading to an older build, especially if it's significantly older, may break your profile, though I've never had any issues with that myself.

beta 2 has been pushed back by 1 day to 23rd july. beta 3 is due 8th august now.

I think the newest dev build of Adblock Plus gives better startup performance.

Anyone else getting problems with cookies only appearing to work in your current session, then not working once you close the browser despite still being there. (not private browsing causing this)

You need to download each hourly manually , but u can update the nightlies ,,, this also means that the hourly would be updated to nigthly(when out)

Which theme? (Is it for 7?)

Yes for 7. Default theme with some small modds.

I will upload it in a while. ;)

[Brandon H Supervisor]

ok the latest nightly seems to have made stylish and adblock+ incompatible, how to you disable compatibility check again?

[Dunstark]

I think you have to set "extensions.checkCompatibility.4.0b" to false in about:config.

[Brandon H Supervisor]

didn't work

[Dunstark]

Try setting "extensions.checkCompatibility.4.0b3pre" to false then.

[Brandon H Supervisor]

nope, nothing

[Dunstark]

Do you have Add-on compatibility Reporter? Maybe it might help.

It helps, works like a charm for me.

[Brandon H Supervisor]

[Steven P. Administrators]

The first beta 2 candidate build is now available:

wonder how beta 2 will be in benchmarks, i'm hoping for a substantial improvement with D2D!

If anything D2D is slower.

There are three bugs on this, not much progress as so far.

Benchmark without D2D.

Concentrate on page rendering and scrolling performance.

Does anyone know if Mozilla plans to have inactive tabs non-transparent? I find it very annoying having the tabs transparent atm.

Going by the mockups it looks like the inactive tabs should not be transparent.

Beta 2 wont have D2D and it's disable by default. Beta 4 is when D2D will be ready and on by default.

The mockups tabs are more opaque but they are transparent. I don't know if the UI team will change this.

Firefox Sync

Alex Faaborg:

• Top priority now.

Download Manager
Alexander Limi:

• No changes this week, but plan to get in touch with Paolo, who I talked to about this at the Summit.

Main window refresh

Stephen Horlander:

• Most of the major pieces are in.
• Still need progress bar on tabs and combined stop/go/reload.
• Focus on Windows/Mac on refinement bug fixing.
• Need to evaluate Bookmarks Menu Button feedback.
• Next major thing is going to be theming the Window frames/controls for non-Aero configurations ? XP, Aero Basic, Classic.

Other topics covered
Focus for next beta:

• Location bar improvements
  • Meta bug for the location bar improvements
  • Frank is on the combined stop/reload/go improvements.
  • Design session on Wednesday, also talk about privacy indicators in Larry etc + Privacy Icons + Firefox Menu.
  • Protocol removal/improvements: as early as possible, Frank wants to look at this after stop/go/reload.
  • URL hover design/implementation.
  • AwesomeBar results ? visual design improvements.

  [*]Home/App tabs: dragging + chromeless + right-click to bring controls back + app tab behavior in multiple windows (limi)[*]Doorhanger notifications: not landing in time for next beta, probably later (1-2 betas out)[*]Startup Experience:

  • Meta bug for Startup Experience issues.
  • Run it by Vlad, dbaron or Stuart, identify biggest wins, prioritize.
  • Drawing the window all at once needs to be nominated for blocking the final release ? it looks really broken if we only draw part of the bottom half with the top missing with the new glass theme.
  • Ask on startup, not shutdown for session restore.
