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.

    • It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.
    • What OS is that? It looks a bit like Mac OS but the command line suggests it isn't, either way I like it!
    • Outlook classic is inherently better than new outlook, for a number of reasons. That said, if the only reason people need office is to read email, they should just use thunderbird.
    • Windows 11 is a big thumbs down from me. I used for a period of a few days while it was in insider and windows 10 was the main OS, and realised it wasn't for me. I am still waiting for Windows to be tolerable again, a shame as at one point I was very pro Microsoft.  
    • Classic outlook, not only does it have a much fuller feature set, it doesn't include Microsoft attempting to sync my emails from my servers to theirs. If classic outlook is ever removed from office, and the version I paid for in 2021 stops working for some reason, I'll use Thunderbird.
