To clear this up:

8.How do I capitalize Firefox? How do I abbreviate it?

Only the first letter is capitalized (so it's Firefox, not FireFox.) The preferred abbreviation is "Fx" or "fx".

But this is from the Firefox 1.5 release notes, early in the development of Firefox. Note that it says preferred. Regardless, it does not matter what the abbreviation for Firefox is.

Anyway, thanks for the heads up. I updated through the software update.

It has, it is and always will be "FF". Sorry.

Wrong. It has been "Fx" since the name was changed to Firefox, at least among the community here and in the Mozilla community. Before that it was "Px" and "Fb" when the names were Phoenix and Firebird, respectively. As far as "always will be," they've changed the name twice before so I wouldn't be so quick to claim that with such certainty.

You should be calling Firefox... Firefox. Your analogy reminds me of the people who actually use "LOL" as a word in spoken conversation.

Ah hell they added favicons and folder icons to the bookmark toolbar in OS X. I liked it without them. I wanted Chrome without them and now the icons are in FF too. :(

You should be able to use the same script we Windows users use in Stylish or in your userChrome.css to remove them.

Touch has worked well in FF for a while. unless something new that I didn't know about was just implemented. That is entirely possible. Chrome has about the worst support for touch out of all browsers.

Apparently I missed it, but multitouch features have been added. Nice demo they had. Digging FF4 beta 3. Looks great, quite speedy.

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.

I'm not sure I believe that, or at the very least they'd have to have a much looser definition of ready than I do, because the build I tried from just a few days ago STILL had a black wherever there was supposed to be glass. However, if they manage to fix that and release it by Friday there will be much rejoicing.

Just call it "F" then since it's one word. Please stick to the topic of the Beta 3 release.

This thread is redundant, anyway. You might consider merging it with the Firefox 4.0 beta thread that's been ongoing for weeks @ https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/896934-meet-firefox-40-beta-3/page__pid__593019490__st__1440entry593019490

Using any custom themes or such? The main issues with Aero Glass got fixed before Beta 1 branched.

Edit: I actually think there is some issue with Direct3D Layers and Aero Glass, but nobody's currently using that since it involves setting environment variables before you launch Firefox.

    • 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.
