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.

    • 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.
