Silly me i found the plus appeared now, i think tabmix plus cause some changes in tabs behavior.

you think? it is after all a tab extension :p

in the past you could not remove the new tab button from the customize function, so used tabmix plus to do it :)

that is why it was being hidden

by the way New Tab button is not needed unless you use tabs on top because you can enable the double clicking on the tab bar to open a new tab - of course that is a matter of personal preference :p

and the double clicking on the tab bar is not possible in win7 any more :(

maybe tabs on top in XP still lets you double click there yeah it should

First off, i've been a devout Firefox user for several years now. I never use other browsers unless absolutely necessary.

I hate the tabs on top. That change simply does not make sense to me.

And, without any add-ons installed, i'm seeing a major memory leak. When i launch the app, task manager reports around 35mb of memory usage by firefox.exe. After a few minutes of browsing, that number climbs gradually to 150+ mb, even with only one tab open.

I hope there's a 4th, 5th, and 6th Beta, because this is nowhere near ready for prime time.

Just fyi: There's a new Adblock Plus development build available at https://adblockplus.org/devbuilds/adblockplus/ which works with current Minefield builds.

As per usual: Remember to whitelist Neowin when using ABP.

That is only for JS.

To simply answer the question, Firefox 4 is quite a bit faster then previous version. But it is still the slowest out of all the next gen / current gen browser. ( Excluding IE )

How ever there are still many improvement yet to land. Although i dont expect Firefox 4 Final to lead ahead of Chrome and Opera . But even if it did only come close i would still go back to firefox.

Nope, You still have to do that fix that we previously had to do to get rid of the redirect bug

That version of dev.build doesn't work very well...

almost block everything for no reason.

Mozilla are planning 7 betas. I'm pretty sure that you'll be able to move the tabs back to the bottom, tabs-on-top is just a default AFAIK.

and why isn't it possible to visit Windows Live, like Hotmail etc...?

Microsoft is stupid and performs bad browser-sniffing, and thinks Firefox 4 is a mobile browser.

So they are still slower ?!

At the moment - yes. However, both branches (the orange and black lines on the graphs) are yet to be merged, and when they are they'll be faster than the two individually.

You mean merged doubling the performance ?! so it drop down from about 600 to 300 ?

... and by the time J?germonkey is merged with the Firefox trunk, Google and Apple will have sped up their respective JS engines even more.

Aren't browser wars fun?

Tabs on top is a toggle and have been since support landed (before it was made the default for Windows)

The merged engine (purple) line is kicking ass on V8 compared to plain TM and JM, but there's still lots of work to be done.

Aha, I didn't know there was a graph for a merged engine, thanks.

    • 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.
