One really annoying issue I have is that sometimes when I am posting, browsing Neowin, the Leaderboard ad (the one in the header of Neowin) sometimes loads in a blank page, so I have to press back.

I have AdBlock installed, but Neowin is obviously white-listed, and funnily enough I haven't experienced the same problem on other whitelisted sites.

This only happens in the beta versions of Firefox (not the proper 3.x release).

What happened to the porn mode (or "Private Browsing" :whistle:) in the betas? Did Mozilla dropped it?

Private browsing is still in there. But you need to use "Alt" to get the menu to find the option. The Firefox button has hardly any options in atm.

Am I right when I say there's no way of fixing this yet?

(The space above the "Minefield" button)

It happens when I maximise a window and also prevents me from using the "Pull" away feature of windows 7 to move a maximised window if I click above the button.

I did try finding info about it on the FF forum but I have no idea what it's called.

I'm on the latest nightly

It looks like a stylish script or modified userChrome.css has created some unnecessary padding.

I have the exact same problem on Neowin. I've got adblock installed too and Neowin is also white-listed. Haven't noticed it occurring on any other sites.

hmmm might be it... I don't have stylish or greasemonkey active anymore but I have in the past... I don't have a custom userchrome set, I'll create a temp profile and see how I get on, thanks.

Edit: Nope... a new profile results in the same UI error >.<

if you have a custom windows theme set its possible that that is causing the issue (just a thought)

Same problem here, but I have no extensions installed whatsoever. Never happened in 3.5 either for me, so it must be something in the beta.

aha! That's it. Whist I don't have a custom theme set, I do turn off border padding under "Window color and appearance" I personally prefer to not have horrible big borders around my Aero windows :p When I set it back to the default (4) I don't get this

I've logged it on Bugzilla... https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=582819

I know I'm "customising" my Windows UI, but it should be able to be fixed in firefox ya?

It's a problem due to the interaction between some of the AD scripts and the HTML5 parser, every so often the ad scripts will overwrite the entire page content with their code.

At least I think that's what you're describing :laugh: I'm seeing an issue with the ads because of that, but it might be different.

According to this page:

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Releases

Beta 3 has slipped to a release date of August 20th.

What was the original release date? How do you know it's slipped?

Same problem here, but I have no extensions installed whatsoever. Never happened in 3.5 either for me, so it must be something in the beta.

Good to know. I'm still experiencing it but at least now I know there's no need to start seeing if an extension is causing it.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By +samw61 · Posted

      I think the car analogy is more this: Left hand drive, basic commands on the left side of the infotainment screen. Right hand drive, basic commands on the right side of the infotainment screen. Granted, you're not swapping between the two often so it's doesn't really work. But it's to do with the proximity of you (your mouse, or the driver) to the controls.

      I mean, the old one was broken and so stupidly complex for many users, so I don't see that as a feasible option. A context menu needs to be simple to use, and for me the Windows 11 style actually worked really well for me, and many others. I used to have to scroll the damn context menu just to get to "file properties" in Windows 10. That was not a good experience, and I'm sure you'd agree. What they're trying to do is make it the best of both worlds, as clearly you'd prefer the Win10 style. I'm curious how they're going to do this.

      The "Show more options" has its place, as does the simpler context menu, but it should perhaps be a separate fly-out rather than relaunching the entire, old context menu. The old context menu was getting absurd in Windows 10. Often I'd have to make the context menu scroll just to get to "File properties" on my old laptop. Even without much installed, the amount of items was just too much. It's a context menu, not a "do all" menu. Making it configurable is fraught with challenges too, so I'm interested to see how Microsoft tackles this one.

      I don't hate the new menus, I am not a fan of the lack of features and how they went live when they clearly are not complete. The menu itself presents much better than the previous - but what's lacking (IMO) is: 1) Any kind of automated manipulation such as: "this goes on the new menu because you use this feature more often on this filetype" "this is rarely used and will fall back to the old menu" 2) Any kind of user manipulation such as: "a UI to add/remove/order items to the new menu"
