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.

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.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
    • Hello, Having a simple utility to allow Microsoft's customers to configure the context menu, with a few options like showing the current menu, showing a proposed menu/alternate configurations, loading and saving the settings, and a "reset to default" option would have solved this. Let Microsoft provide a recommended default look-and-feel, maybe a couple alternative configurations, like a basic/simplified version of that, and a more advanced version for that, and that would have been very well-received, I think. Microsoft could even had offered a library of different configurations, similar to what they have done in the past for Windows Media Player skins, Themes, and desktop wallpaper. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • No Steam release. It's gonna fail on PC. Even an Epic Online engineer said that people go there for the free stuff and then immediately go back to Steam.
    • Nice. Admittedly, his other games never interested me, but this seems pretty cool.
    • It's time to say goodbye to Edge and switch back to Firefox. There's no way to disable the ugly rounded corners that appear everywhere. Not even on the page frame. No one uses screens with rounded corners, you idiots.
