Still having the Segoe UI font issue on Windows 7. The Windows Live website is being displayed in Tahoma instead of Segoe UI.

It looks like a problem on Microsoft's end.

Instead of doing it properly (i.e. just telling the browser to use Segoe UI), they seem to have implemented some code to pick the fonts based on the OS the user is running, and it breaks on Firefox 4 (ignoring the fact that their UA sniffing code sucks in general, it thinks Firefox 4 is a mobile browser)

well it should. try the latest dev builds. was working for me on Minefield pre3 until I updated to bogus pre4. that's when it killed it.

latest dev build is incompatible. :(

Bah! My bug is back as well :(

Edit: the new taskbar code was

"This was backed out for the following performance regression:

Talos Regression: Txul increase 4.57% on Win7 Firefox

"

Whatever that means >.>

It slowed the UI down by 4.5% on their Windows 7 testing machines, so it was backed out (and so it broke the titlebars entirely)

Anyone else getting a slight freeze or "hang" with beta 3 on websites with flash on OSX, they don't seem to like getting along with a bunch of ads on some websites and end up making the website jump around when trying to scroll.

Man!!! Anyone knows a exact Mac OSX theme for Windows 7?

There are some Mac OS X Snow Leopard themes for Windows Vista and 7. However both operating systems use totally different window layouts, so porting over Aqua to Windows looks just plain bad. Same goes for porting over Aero to Mac OS X. It just doesn't work.

I found out that proper interop support for Direct2D + Direct3D layers landed in the latest nightly.

That means, when using the Direct3D layers backend as well as Direct2D, all drawing operates directly on textures in memory, which are then composited together to form the final output. No copying or moving data around, so it's pretty fast. There's still issues preventing it from being enabled by default (driver issues, bugs, etc.), but it's progressing well.

well it looks like todays nightly fixed the tabs in titlebar problem, it's back to working like it did before :)

[ViZioN]

It's a known bug, there's a fix for it that's waiting to land.

Ahh OK thanks :)

Do you know if there's a fix coming for the bug that Neobond first reported where neowin loads, and then seems to only display the advert in the top right?

Tried FF4b4pre and not many sites would load at all

That's actually an issue with the ad script.

So it'll probably be fixed some time after Firefox 4 final is released.

Confirmation from Mike Beltzner about Tab Candy coming to the hourlies later today, and probably to the nightlies tommorow.

Just approved Tab Candy to land on mozilla-central later today. Great work by the team to get it there. More to do, but this is a big hurdle

I'm using this version of adblock on ff4b3 (fx4b3 :-p) and it's working fine.

Ahh thats why I didn't notice it on any other sites then. I'll struggle on!

[Darrian]

Well, I'm impressed. I'm using today's tab candy build and it works. The glass only turns black when transitioning from normal view to the tab candy view and doesn't remain when you switch back like it did a couple days ago. Looks like they're going to pull it off after all. Switching back to hourlies tonight.

Update: Tab candy doesn't appear to save tab groupings between sessions, though; every time I restart the browser it goes back to the default layout.

The text in google search field is not centered in firefox, does anyone else have this issue?

Thanks for the links. :)

Edit: What the hell did they do to the Bookmarks Toolbar in OS X (b3)? They are spaced terribly, and now most of my bookmarks are cutoff.

[Udedenkz]

Firefox JS just got 7% faster. :)

Also TabCandy landed on trunk. :D

They added favicons back, people wanted them but they take up a load of space.

Do you know if there is a stylish script to remove them?
