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)

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

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!

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?

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.

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%

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.

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.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
    • Hello, Having a simple utility to allow Microsoft's customers to configure the context menu, with a few options like showing the current menu, showing a proposed menu/alternate configurations, loading and saving the settings, and a "reset to default" option would have solved this. Let Microsoft provide a recommended default look-and-feel, maybe a couple alternative configurations, like a basic/simplified version of that, and a more advanced version for that, and that would have been very well-received, I think. Microsoft could even had offered a library of different configurations, similar to what they have done in the past for Windows Media Player skins, Themes, and desktop wallpaper.

    • 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.
