Meet Firefox 4.0.1

[bogas04]

When does Tab Candy become official?

Its official but @ risk , they aim to release it in Beta 4 (also enable D2D by default)

[Thino]

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

he may be using a theme

min/max/close buttons are indeed hidden when using something other than the default theme ( at least for me they are too , I use it on Win7 )

They're not, just the firefox button on the left side.

Hm, like mastahwolf wrote - it looks like it's an issue with (some) 3rd party themes.

Have you tried going back to the default theme yet?

Well it also won't let me activate the default theme as well.

Well I managed to trick it into activating the default theme by temporarily removing the "theme" I had.

but sheesh, with transparency, the ****ty useless tab scroll buttons I can't get rid of and disable even at 0 tab.minwidth are even uglier...

Might have a look at this as I've been putting it off since the first beta.

for all those that want to be able to read inactive tabs, use this stylish script

#TabsToolbar > .toolbarbutton-1:not(#alltabs-button):not(#new-tab-button) {
  -moz-appearance: none !important;
  margin: 0 !important;
  padding: 0 !important;
  background-repeat: no-repeat !important;
  background-size: 200% !important;
  -moz-border-image: url("chrome://browser/skin/tabbrowser/tab.png") 4 5 3 6 / 4px 5px 3px 6px !important;
  -moz-border-radius: 10px 8px 0 0 !important;
}

.tabbrowser-tab:not([selected="true"]),
.tabs-newtab-button,
#TabsToolbar > .toolbarbutton-1:not(#alltabs-button):not(#new-tab-button)  {
  background-position: -5px -2px !important;
  background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top,rgba(198,201,206,.70),
                                   rgba(151,160,172,.70)),
                    -moz-linear-gradient(bottom, rgba(0,0,0,.8) 20%, rgba(0,0,0,0) 60%) !important;
  text-shadow: 0 1px 0 rgba(255,255,255,.3) !important;
}

.tabbrowser-tab:not([selected="true"]):hover,
.tabs-newtab-button:hover,
#TabsToolbar > .toolbarbutton-1:not(#alltabs-button):not(#new-tab-button):hover {
  background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(top,rgba(198,201,206,.8),
                                   rgba(151,160,172,.8)),
                    -moz-linear-gradient(bottom, rgba(0,0,0,.8) 20%, rgba(0,0,0,0) 60%) !important;
}

It's a good fix. I think removing the text shadow entirely, instead of leaving it at .3, does a LOT of improve the readability too.

What's new in beta3 ?

[Jack 0Neill]

It's Fx not FF.

How do I spell Firefox? How do I abbreviate it?

Firefox is spelled F-i-r-e-f-o-x - only the first letter capitalized (i.e. not FireFox, not Foxfire, FoxFire or whatever else a number of folk seem to think it to be called.) The preferred abbreviation is "Fx" or "fx".

Can't help but LOL at this. This is from release 1.0.6 -- early in the developement of the software and the Mozilla Corporation. I wager if they still feel this way and really care if somebody uses FF or FX to refer to their product. Either way somebody is talking about their software and that is really what they want.

Sweet, just got it via the Software Update feature. Thanks!

Mozilla is not the authority on language usage. If they want the users to call it FX then they should rename their browser to FX. There's no problem with FF being the prevalent abbreviation among users.

As of FF4beta3, popup windows are working correctly with the stylish scripts that put tabs on the title bar. Or at least, they are not working "wrong". The tab is not in the title bar, if there is a tab, and you can read the title bar. More importantly, there isn't some overlap with the orange button, or the title bar totally disappearing when there is no orange button:

Odd, I can't recreate the old behavior with 4.0b2. But I know it was an issue...

I got an email from Mozilla about a Test day that is occuring this Friday, the 13th. Looks like Tab Candy should be ready by the end of this week.

Mozilla QA is having a test day this Friday, and we?ll be testing some

of the new functionality that is expected to land before we ship Firefox

4.0 beta 4. Barring landing complications we should have Firefox Sync

and Tab Candy ready to test in the nightlies by Friday.

Updated to beta 3, anyone else who uses Facebook noticed the chat not working anymore?

Not a huge loss for me I guess, just quite annoying.

Also since beta 2, I have noticed some things like the history box (Ctrl H, can't think of a proper word lol) are quite blurry.

See a few things regarding Stylish scripts, guess I should reinstall that.

And I thought FX(sp. :whistle: ) was a cable channel or a GeForce 5 series video card.

Fx just makes me think it's Fox.

FF is FireFox. Which is the name. Just shortened. If you want to call it how it is shown, call it F. But it is mainly called FF.

[Motoko.]

Abbreviating Firefox to FF is awesome.

haters gonna hate

[Rigby]

I have never heard anyone refer to Firefox as Fx. It doesn't even make any sense.

[Ashmir]

I have never heard anyone refer to Firefox as Fx. It doesn't even make any sense.

Yes it does. It's the first and last letter of Firefox. FF doesn't make sense. It isn't FireFox, it's Firefox.

[Rigby]

Since when do we abbreviate things that way? Microsoft is Mt? No, it's MS. Does anyone call Neowin Nn? Apple Ae?

[WigglesTheFish]

Just tried the new Firefox Beta 3 on my Macbook. Haven't noticed much different from Beta 2 actually. I see that the mockup progress bars on the tabs still hasn't made it into the Beta, which made me sad as I was hoping to see it get closer to the mockups on OS X. I'll keep tinkering and see what else I can comment on.

[ViZioN]

Has anyone noticed that images don't seem to display until they're fully loaded? I don't remember it happening with beta 2.
