Meet Firefox 4.0.1

[WigglesTheFish]

So anyone know if it is possible to remove the title bar for firefox 4 on OSX?

I've always found it a waste of space myself, and seeing iTunes ditch it, I would love to do the same to Firefox.

Would like to see this as well, one of my biggest desires from Firefox (via official options or addon).

Opera 10.60 was released with a flash bug that caused various crashes & lockups as well as streaming audio to continue playing after the browser window was closed until the user terminated it in task manager.

Really? I didn't see any such problem.

Stating a fact according to the Opera Devs & 100's of users on Opera forums as well as my own experience.

According to the Opera devs? Source, please.

Whoo! So I can then just disable SoapyHanHocks stylish script, and I'll see no difference! :p

the only difference is that now you can resize the location/search box even with the buttons in the middle :)

edit: the accelerated-layer bug which made the page black after scrolling was fixed, but not the one which covers the captions button whith white

Rendering performance in the latest nightly's pretty bad, but scrolling is smooth as all hell with Direct3D layers (not many bugs left until that's usable)

Soon enough Canvas will get faster still with Direct3D layers, and JaegerMonkey is close to landing (it's interesting to read about how they're going on that)

The current state of the Mac default theme for Firefox 4.0:

[PreKe]

Man, Mac looks so dull and gray compared to Windows these days.

[Inklin]

todays nightly is really sloooow, sometimes switching between tabs doesn't work and scrolling is laggy.

[Brandon H Supervisor]

also the menu button and menu is lagged very bad

edit: the lag seems to have mostly gone away after being up for a few minutes

on the upside flash doesn't seem to have any issues when scrolling anymore in this build

[Brandon H Supervisor]

is the combined go/stop/reload button supposed to appear on the left side if the address bar or is this a bug or something wrong with my setup?

Official Opera Forums. Use the search box and type in "Flash". 185 Flash based problems posted in the last 60 days. I personally like Opera and do not have any bias in my statements of how it is being mismanaged. I see a great product being kept from succeeding by poor leadership and bad management. Opera could easily take the lead in the browser wars by providing what other browsers have, a working, friendly plug in architecture, addons platform, compliant flash standards, and the ability to render all web sites correctly as I.E & F.F. does. Right now these require in depth user research and grease monkey scripts. No user wants to learn CODE, that's the developers responsibility. Opera is like using linux, it does everything you want it to do with days of reading forums and hours of entering scripts and code. I use windows, I want something that just works! Opera's primary share in users currently is based on Opera mobile, without that there would be no market share at all! Sorry to ramble on, I am very upset with their wasted potential. Maybe stoners develope it. Makes no sense. Could a, should a, would a, but I got high!

It's supposed to appear on the right, try resetting any toolbar customisations and disabling stylish styles (they can break stuff quite badly)

Sounds like a bug or a Stylish script messing with the button to me. The stop/go/reload button should appear on the right end of the address bar.

[Brandon H Supervisor]

ok, i disabled all my stylish scripts and reset my toolbar layout and it's still on the left wtf, give me a minute and i'll get a screenshot

ok here's a screenshot, the button only appears when i hover over the address bar

ok, i found the culprit, it was the extension locationbar2

firefox seems to be using a lot more CPU than usual in todays nightly, has anyone else noticed this

just sitting Idle it jumps around anywhere from 22% - 40% CPU

here in idle it uses between 1% and 13-14%

[Brandon H Supervisor]

idk then, maybe it has something to do with the flash videos loading

though it's not the plugin container that's running high it's firefox itself

Same here with 86 tabs open!

You must start Firefox with one tab, then open other tabs and CPU usage should be fine.

If you coldboot with many tabs the usage will be crazy.

[skyli]

Scrolling got laggy for me too but scrolling on a youtube video works now :)

My CPU usage with 1 tab is 0 but sometimes it goes to 5% or 10% but i idle'd now for a half minute and it only went to 2% once.

it appear mozilla won't release FF4 x64

If you?re holding your breath while waiting for the 64-bit (x64) flavor of Firefox 4.0, feel free to exhale now.

The next major iteration of Mozilla?s open source browser will support 32-bit (x86) platforms exclusively, despite some very promising work from the browser vendor early in the development process for version 4.0.

Mozilla?s Director of Firefox, Mike Beltzner confirmed the fact that an x64 flavor of Firefox won?t be added to the existing x86 version, per the 32-bit/64-bit Internet Explorer 8 model.

Firefox users should not despair though. Fact is that Mozilla hasn?t given up on delivering a 64-bit version of Firefox, just not with Firefox 4.0.

Yes. It's coming with 4.x, hopefully not too long after 4.0.

I was hoping this thread would be a discussion about the Beta itself, not a complete mob of Stylish users, since there's already a thread for that.

Things break and that includes stylish scripts. Why can't that be discussed here?

As for the person above me, why do you care about 64bit for a web browser? What, do you want 64-bit processing of text and images or something? GPU acceleration is going to be coming anyway, and from the looks of your graphics card, I think you'll be just fine.

At least he is posting info instead of attacking people. One example is that 64bit TM is actually faster than it's 32bit counterpart. 64 bit JM is slower on the other hand, but maybe they can still optimize that.

Disappointing :(

Mozilla shouldn't be dropping the axe like this, we've seen a few features ruled out already , Who cares if the release slips, It wouldn't hurt us to wait that little bit longer for a solid, fully featured release rather than a half baked one.

[aznkid25]

My "stop" and "reload" buttons became two separate buttons for some reason. I'm not sure how it happened. Is there a way to change it back to the single button like it's supposed to be, without any stylish codes?
