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.

    • This saddens me greatly
    • Well again I do not mind seeing it charge my stuff if it does it well. "yeah charge my phone like that, charge it good"
    • Getting so tired of this push for that new useless slop over the less-useless old slop that at this point I just want M$ to have this nice, big, hearty cup of *FU*.
    • Brave Browser 1.91.168 by Razvan Serea Brave Browser is a lightning-fast, secure web browser that stands out from the competition with its focus on privacy, security, and speed. With features like HTTPS Everywhere and built-in tracker blocking, Brave keeps your online activities safe from prying eyes. Brave is one of the safest browsers on the market today. It blocks third-party data storage. It protects from browser fingerprinting. And it does all this by default. Speed - Brave is built on Chromium, the same technology that powers Google Chrome, and is optimized for speed, providing a fast and responsive browsing experience. Brave Browser also features Brave Rewards, a system that rewards users with Basic Attention Tokens (BAT) for viewing opt-in ads. This innovative system provides an alternative revenue model for content creators and a way to support the Brave community. SlimBrave Neo takes all the good things about Brave and makes them even better by keeping everything clean, light, and privacy-focused. It removes the extra clutter, turns off features you might not need, and cuts down on anything that could slow you down or collect unnecessary data. Because it relies on simple settings and policies instead of modifying the browser itself, you still get full Brave compatibility—just in a smoother, lighter, and more privacy-friendly package.
