Just installed Minefield 4 beta 4 looks nice and quite speedy. However I don't like to go on t'internet naked without me No-Script sock and adblock underpants. So sticking with 3.6.8

If you're using experimental add-ons for an experimental build of Firefox, it's no wonder the web is broken.

Either run it in "Plain Jane" mode or wait until it's final.

Nah, usually the most popular extensions work just fine. I'm using the nightlies and out of about 10-15 or so add-ons, only 1 caused any trouble. About 3 were dev builds too.

Anyone having trouble with closing tabs in the latest nightly build? I can't close tabs anymore with middle clicking, if I do it becomes a "ghost" tab that I can't get rid of unless I restart Minefield. If I right-click --> close tab it works as expected. Could it be a bug with the new tab closing animation and the Minimal theme I use?

If you click the download button:

It takes you to:

I wonder why?

after a while it takes me to a 404 page.

Maybe they are updating site for Beta 3 , see the url its has "b3"

Same bug here and the theme is the problem. I switched back to the default one and the problem was gone. We will have to wait until the theme is updated for a fix.

I can middle click just fine. The tab closes with the animation and no issues. Right clicking and closing from the context menu doesn't seem to show the animation.

Expect it in today's nightly

"Zombie" tabs are expected fallout from the tab animations landing, either disable tab animations through about:config or use the directions from the following bug to update the way max tab width is set, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=585417

Thanks! The override didn't work for me so I just disabled tab animations.

Yes - by enabling the menu bar. AFAIK there's no official way to have the Firefox button and the menu off at once though.

You didn't look close enough because I'm not the only one who has this since I just used a script I found......

The latest nightly seems to break tabs in titlebar implementations... or at least for me, the tabs get pushed down again :(

I will cry :D

    • I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣
    • Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.
    • This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.
    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
