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.

    • No Steam release. It's gonna fail on PC. Even an Epic Online engineer said that people go there for the free stuff and then immediately go back to Steam.
    • Nice. Admittedly, his other games never interested me, but this seems pretty cool.
    • It's time to say goodbye to Edge and switch back to Firefox. There's no way to disable the ugly rounded corners that appear everywhere. Not even on the page frame. No one uses screens with rounded corners, you idiots.
    • Being on Github makes it more trustable since I can see the code at any point.
    • Gen Atlas is the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator, this time with giant robots by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The mind behind widely well-received games like Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and The Last Guardian, Fumito Ueda, showed up at Summer Game Fest today, and that was to reveal his latest project. Being developed by genDESIGN, Gen Atlas is incoming with what looks to be plenty of mech and robot action. Watch the reveal trailer, which makes not much sense, above. The game will have players waking up on an abandoned planet where deserted facilities and grand designs from the original creators remain. Soon, they will stumble upon a colossal robot, from which players gain access to the power to change the world. "Across an endless expanse of time, the remnants of those forgotten constructs begin to move once more," adds the studio. The gameplay snippets seen in the trailer show the player character climbing giant robots (as expected from the creator), while also controlling these titans somehow as well. This is a fully single-player open-world adventure. “The team and I are grateful to all the fans who’ve been eager to learn more about our game,” says Fumito Ueda, CEO and creative director of genDESIGN. “Their passion and enthusiasm has always motivated and inspired us. We hope to share an experience that inspires moments of quiet wonder and discovery.” Before gaining the name Gen Atlas, Ueda first announced this project back in 2024 with the codename Project Robot. Interestingly, this will be a project being funded and published by Epic Games, which should mean that a Steam release is out of the question. Gen Atlas will be releasing on Epic Games Store, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced just yet.
