Well, obviously the development up to the anticipated 4.0 is going to be relatively slow and I don't think it's even slated to be released until next year. This way people who don't even know about minefield builds can still see the progress being made in regular intervals.

Firefox 4 is still on target to be released this year, if any thing it be pushed back to nov/dec around that time frame.

I don't recall it ever being on target to be released this year. If that's what they're planning now then they must have decided to cut some features, which would make sense if beta 6 is supposed to be "feature complete," because we're still missing some things.

My general feeling towards linux users is that if you use linux you should be capable of figuring that kind of stuff out. Additionally, Google is your friend. Since I took the liberty of searching for you here's a link that will probably help you out: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Installing+Firefox+on+Linux

Sweet, the plug-in freezes I was getting seems to be all solved, running great. :D

Though is anyone else still getting the text box thing on here, when you click on the fast reply or normal reply box, you have to click it a second time to be able to type?

And anyone know the easiest way to disable the backspace key taking a page back?

about:config set browser.backspace_action to 2

i don't think so, there's only 5 or 6 bugs fixed in the changelog, the only important bug fixed is the crashing bug. Beta 7 will fix it i'm sure, thats still scheduled for this month atm.

Yeah Flash crashes FF4 B5 on Mac OS X and I also discovered that flash controls don't work on tabs that are set to "App Tab" on Mac OS X (like http://nederland.fm > Radio 538) the controls work fine if the tab isn't an app tab.

How do I see if that bug has already been submitted?

Since Beta 5, i've seen a graphical bug show up whenever I use the scroll wheel-click browse method. When I click and hold the scroll wheel, and move the mouse up or down to scroll the page, an ugly square shows up underneath the mouse pointer. Anyone else seeing this?

Wow. That was fast Firefox 4 Beta 6 builds 1 & 2 were just released this morning, and now the final release for beta 6 is out. What's the rush? Looking forward to beta 7.

Release Notes

No rush at all, but since beta 6 is encompassing very few changes, it's also quick to test and release. I think it only has something on the order of five small code changes. I'm surprised it even needed a build2, haha.

    • WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users by David Uzondu WhatsApp has come out accusing Israeli cyber-intelligence firm, NSO Group, of deploying a fresh wave of highly targeted "spear phishing" attacks against users, which its security teams successfully thwarted. The Israeli firm, according to WhatsApp, ran this operation like its usual one-click phishing campaigns, trying to get people to click malicious links that lead them to external sites. To coordinate the campaign, the spyware vendor created fake test accounts and groups on the messaging app. WhatsApp said it is sharing the specific malicious domains, ikhwancast[.]com, ghazacast[.]com, and fr24cast[.]com, because potential victims need this data to check if they were targeted across other messaging systems or email platforms. The NSO Group is infamous for creating and selling Pegasus, a military-grade commercial spyware capable of silently compromising smartphones simply by sending a message or placing a missed call via apps like WhatsApp or iMessage. Users do not even have to interact with the incoming notification before the infection takes hold. Once Pegasus manages to break in, the spyware harvests private data, letting operators read private messages, emails, photos, and documents. It also tracks precise GPS locations, records keystrokes, activates the device's camera, and monitors live microphone audio. Independent investigations by cybersecurity watchdogs like The Citizen Lab and human rights organizations like Amnesty International have proven that governments use this software to track humanitarian workers, journalists, diplomats, and political dissidents. These findings directly contradict NSO Group claims that clients use the technology to spy on criminals and terrorists only. In late 2021, the U.S. Department of Commerce added the firm to its Entity List, effectively banning the vendor from buying hardware and software from American tech companies. WhatsApp said in its blog post that the spyware vendor violated a permanent court injunction with this new spear-phishing campaign. This injunction, which took effect in 2025, strictly prohibited NSO Group from targeting WhatsApp and its users. The platform is now asking a federal court to hold the firm in contempt.
    • It would be surprising if even 3 year old Apple Watches (and not SE models at that) cannot run watchOS 27. Granted, it doesn't mean it would work as well. We'll see.
