Build 3

ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/4.0b4-candidates/build3/

Dumb question, how do you download and install it?

Thanks

Assuming that you're running windows, here is a direct link: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/4.0b4-candidates/build3/win32/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%204.0%20Beta%204.exe

that's an easy fix to keep your add-ons, just go copy them out of your profile folder before uninstall and put them back after reinstall

basically the same method used to figure out what extension is causing a problem when ff craps out on you (i've had to do this a few times in the past)

When will it be possible to view the Windows Live site like hotmail etc with this betas?

for now it shows "mobile.live" which looks really bad in both Firefox beta and Minefield!?!

How come???

I had this problem only with first beta and it's bre-betas. Try to create a new profile and configure it from very beginning

Doesn't help me, it shows mobile live get again.

I think someone wrote how to fix it in about:config like change the build/version of FF or Minefield...

general.useragent.extra.firefox        default        string        Minefield/4.0b5pre

but i'm not sure... :unsure:

Thanks! It was a theme or an unused addon. :)

Change the "Minefield" to say "Firefox", or wait for Microsoft to fix their buggy code.

Considering the speed at which Microsoft move, changing the UA on your end is a much better option.

Ok, so what is the story as so far as OpenGL within Firefox 4.0 - specifically on Mac OS X? This is specific to layers and it being hardware accelerated - I've read some blogs that say it is already in there (I haven't noticed a CPU utilisation decrease) and some say it hasn't - what is the story because so far the Mozilla wiki is absolutely pathetic when it comes to providing updated information.

full screen <video> uses OpenGL, OpenGL in the main normal window hasn't been enabled yet (same as Direct3D on Windows, there's loads of underlying bugs)

And scrolling and such isn't fully hooked up, it works fine but it tears and ends up drawing too much.

Edit: http://people.mozilla.com/~vladimir/misc/makegofaster.xpi It adds a button/menu item that allows you to open the current page in a new H/W accelerated Window, using Direct3D on Windows and OpenGL on Linux/OS X.

    • The consumer ESU is ending in 4 months. LTSC isn't now, never has been, and never will be for consumer use, it is for OT usage - plant machinery, medical devices, manufacturing equipment etc. LTSC requires a Microsoft EA. You can't legally obtain LTSC to run on your PC at home.
    • Hmm actually looks decently interesting!  
    • Being on GitHub doesn't make something safe. Like any unofficial scripts to do x or y this caters to people with just enough knowledge to be dangerous. If you want to do what this does, and you actually know what you're doing then write your own script (or maybe just add the reg keys yourself) if you don't have the ability to read and understand what a script is doing, and especially don't run it with elevated privileges. Or in this case just use an MSA, sign up the normal route, and stop trying to push water up hill
