Meet Firefox 4.0.1

[Darkmiss]

The code I had that put my tabs to the very top of the screen next to the Firefox button seems to have stopped working.

Did something change ?

Version: Firefox 4.0b5

[Darrian]

Something changed a while ago, but I guess if you're only using official releases you'd just now have found out. You're going to have to go back a few pages and read. I'd just give you the script but I don't feel like digging for it and I'm sure you're capable of finding it. I'm off to bed, so good luck.

Why is it every time I have a flash player open on a tab changing tabs takes ages and sometimes doesn't even work? That and the fact that opening FF takes ages compared to Chrome.

Anyone else having trouble with nightlies after 9/9?

Addons cannot be updated after that. When I try to update an addon it's not working after restart and when I click setup button on addon Firefox freezes.

No in fact TMP updated on 9.10

The flash video problems are back in today's nightly. I didn't have any more problems with it a few say ago :angry: ...

LE: How do I disable this (see picture) new button in panorama? It's position it's corrupted by my scripts and I don't use it anyway ...

No, that's actually the normal look, it just hasn't been themed yet.

It's the "escape button", i.e. it's there to have an easy way to close tab candy without having to look for the tab group you had open.

I know what it does, I just don't need it and if activate my "tabs on top" script it is situated beneath my window control buttons so I want it gone!

By the way: I found THIS modified fission add-on for FFb6 on the developer's forum. But don't use it older versions of FF like beta 5 because it's buggy ...

I think it is time to update your computer.

I recommend at least a netbook to avoid those issues.

Internet Download Manager works in the 9/10/2010 JG Nightly, after it updates itself on 9/11 it crashes and gives error related to IDM extension. 9/12 & still broke. If I enable it, crash! Have to use 4.0b5 to disable it, then restart 4.0b6preJG. Suck!

you're willing to risk using developmental betas meant for testing, and you're complaining about compatibility issues?..c'mon And the problem with addons becoming corrupt etc is a known problem

[bjoswald]

Decided to give FF4b5 a try and I'm impressed. It's quick and I love the hardware acceleration. The fonts were a bit of an eyesore, but nothing a quick ClearType adjustment couldn't fix. :)

LOL! I got that last night and I was just coming here to post a link myself :D

I.D.M. 6.0.2beta still works with it's extension disabled due to advanced browser integration, seems pointless to have an extension. I am ware that addon compatibility is a known issue! I am using IDM 6.0.2 beta. I thought the purpose of this thread was share issues or things relating to Firefox. If a particular extension is causing a crash sharing that with others is appropriate. If this thread is not for users to complain about crashes or issues related to firefox then I see 100 posts in the wrong place. Kaboose likes to poke the bear.

how did you fix fonts? i can't stand the ugly fonts in beta 5.

[Corris Veteran]

Anyone know when Beta 6 will hit?

my comment was purely based on this "Suck!"

You can disable hardware acceleration and they will go back to old style fonts.

Menu > Option > Advanced > Uncheck Use Hardware Acceleration and restart Firefox.

nope... didn't work. still the ugly fonts. fonts look fine in 3.6.9

[Xtreme $niper]

It might, they're aiming to render the entire interface via OpenGL.

Flash attempts to use the graphics card for rendering now, and it'll go down that path in Firefox 4 (and Safari as well actually, but it might be special casing that or something)

*sigh* That's terrible news, but not entirely unexpected. I guess I'll have to weigh my options and see what will happen. Maybe I can find a way to run Firefox 3.6 and 4 simultaneously and use one or the other on a situational basis.

about:config set mozilla.widget.render-mode to 0 and restart Firefox.

I thought the GPU rendered text was gfx.font_rendering.directwrite.enabled

[LiquidSolstice]

That's only part of the process.?

I thought the value must be 6 !?

By the way: for those of you using older betas here is a working beta5 Fission add-on: LINK

For beta 6 : LINK

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

The render-mode preference is outdated, Direct2D is controlled by it's own pref now.

And the DirectWrite pref is only there so you can mix it with old GDI rendering, mainly for performance testing I would think (Since it'd be slower than plain GDI or plain Direct2D)
