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.

    • Dude, it's a .reg away from a permanent modification. If you're a power user, look it up and keep the .reg and stop being a crybaby expecting MS to include customization for everything on a generalist OS. The default is what's the best UX for the majority of the userbase, non techie people.
    • Logitech MX Creative Console is down to the lowest price by Taras Buria Having a Stream Deck-like device next to your keyboard could be a massive productivity boost. It lets you map specific actions and shortcuts to speed things up, and Logitech has such a device for you with a big 20% discount. Right now, you can save $40 on the Logitech MX Creative Console. The MX Creative Console is an unconventional accessory that consists of two modules. One module has nine customizable buttons, with each having a built-in display for mapping. You can assign apps, shortcuts, actions, or something else. There are nine buttons, plus two more for switching between "pages" of actions. The second module has no displays. Instead, there is a big twisting knob and a small roller for precise adjustments in creative apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, Affinity, and more. There are four additional buttons as well. The MX Creative Console is available in two colors: Graphite and Pale Gray. Both are now 20% off, saving you $40.

    • Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Studio MDHR has been rather silent about its next major gaming project since the release of Cuphead back in 2017. However, that ended today during the Summer Game Fest presentation, with the studio revealing not one but two project announcements. First, the studio confirmed that it is currently in the middle of developing a brand-new Cuphead game, bringing back the iconic characters for another adventure. Just like the last game, this is slated to be a fully hand-animated endeavor. This also means there isn't a release date attached to it yet. “Craftsmanship is at the heart of everything we do here at Studio MDHR,” says co-founder Chad Moldenhauer. “When it came time to peel back the curtain and share a little bit about what we’ve been up to, we couldn’t imagine a more fun way to do so than with today’s Special Bulletin. The studio is working on this new Cuphead with help from Toronto’s Stop Motion Department and Continue Agency. At the same time, Studio MDHR also revealed that another part of the team has been working on a different Cuphead installment. Dubbed the Mighty Cuphead Adventure, this is taking a different art direction to the original. "In true Studio MDHR fashion, this game goes beyond just taking inspiration from the classics of the 1980s… it is actually built with technology of the era," the studio explained. "That's right: Mighty Cuphead Adventure is programmed in assembly language and designed with the exacting specifications of the Sega Master System home gaming console in mind." Aside from releasing on PC and modern consoles, Mighty Cuphead Adventure will even be playable on the 1985-released Sega Master System. A release date has not been announced just yet.
    • Any decent ITSM will A) have a web form that allows a user to raise a ticket, if you're writing an email you can write a ticket. B) Monitor a mailbox and auto-generate tickets based on inbound mails for those users that really can't get their heads around the concept that if you have an issue you go to support.mycompany.com and fill in the box. From your description you're having users email the desk, and then having a human read each one and manually raise a ticket on behalf of the user.
