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

And you didn't read what he wrote.

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

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

Same here. Using Minimal 1.0 skin, the tabs moved down a bit and the new tab button is messed up. But that's what you expect when you use nightly.

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

for some reason i have a feeling it has to do with the new code added to make the menu button work in xp and the basic theme, should hopefully be fixed soon

SunSpider results (perfomed on laptop with win7 x64, core 2 duo 2ghz T5800, 3gb ddr2, nvidia 9200LE gpu):

I get a 2.4% speed improvement with SunSpider with ff4b3 compared to ff4b2 as you can see below:

With 1 tab open firefox 4b3 uses 59mb ish ram, firefox 4b2 used 82mb ish ram, firefox 3.6.8 uses 60mb ish.

Nags with the beta.

Apparently you can no longer get rid of the annoying tab scroll (who the F wants to scroll through a whole bunch of tabs... they need new UI/usablity designers)

also Who thought it was a good idea to remove the min,max,close widgets.... seriously, that's more annoying than apps that use non standard size/position widgets. again, they need new UI/Usability designers.

When you think FF can't get more stupid, the designers go an prove you wrong again.

Hm? Do you mean the min/max/close widgets provided by Windows? They should still be there. :blink:

Firefox 4.0 Beta still has a problem that has changed a bit but not much.

Beta 1 if I launched it from restore with eg 6 tabs it would lag and then half of the time it would crash and I don't have a slow computer.

Beta 2 it would launch but take quite a while and almost crash.

Beta 3 A tiny bit faster again but still around 10-20 seconds.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
