I've only barely played with beta 1 on Mac, but I've seen the Tab Candy video and seen the current Mac mockups, and was wondering will it be possible (via Stylish script or other means) to move the tabs into the title bar on Mac like I've seen on the Windows screenshots in this thread?

not yet i don't believe

postponed to Wednesday July 29th now:(

Acutally it's Thursday the 29th

As long as it's a good release, I moved back to FF4 B1 because I missed some of my extensions (which work with it) miss app tabs already!

Exactly, no need to rush a beta release just to get out on that date.

True , we must remember that 4.0 is a major release and no one would like it to be buggy. Even if we have 2~3 betas , but of top quality , it doesn't matter much. Also , if a feature is not going to land in 4.0 , then there is always 4.1 :)

Firefox 4 Beta 2 will break a good number of your extensions because XPCOM will be in that build.

Depending on how many extensions you have/how old they are/etc that number could be pretty big :3

At least, I think XPCOM will be in Beta 2

It will be, the XPCOM changes landed not long after Beta 1 was built.

Yeah, I use Minefield so I already went through the huge breakage a while back.

I don't keep too up to date with mainstream firefox releases so I wasn't 100% sure if XPCOM was Beta 2 or Beta 3.

It should provide some fun comments when Beta 2 gets released :p

Just in case people missed it, Soapy/Boneyard released an alpha of their newest theme "Minimal" in the OS Customization area. Firefox 4 Beta 1 / Minefield only.

I sure did miss it. I've been waiting to try it out, thanks!

Pretty nice. I wouldn't have thought of doing it that way. (Y)

Anyone having problems with IDM and youtube? 4.0b2

Yes! IDM does not work properly in in Beta 2. It does catch links if you enable advanced browser integration as if you were trying to use Chrome in the IDM browser selection menu. It will not work for flash though. The last build with flash downloading is Beta 1.

I saw that to, given that Mozilla never meets its schedules I can't see them keeping to that.

They do put more effort into stability than their competitors though. I'd rather wait for a stable default browser, Have you noticed since the inception of 4.0 series that they are rock solid aside from some addons. I have been using alpha with no issues!

Pity, I was pretty happy with beta 2 so far. Will it be fixed, or is it up to IDm?

    • For the purpose that it was built for, it’s a great machine. It’s okay to own multiple machines, it’s okay for machines to be different. If every computer was the same, they’d be boring af.
    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
