wow, This build is a huge improvement over beta5

2D acceleration no longer messes with the text so badly, still slightly but not as bad

and the IE9 html5 demo, amazon bookshelf absolutely flies using the 2D acceleration compared to other HTML5 browsers such as Chrome 6

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.

Build 2 is final, final is whatever the last build is. Since it has a small set of changes, it makes testing and verifying a quick process.

lol - well that doesnt work

Major breakage! :)

Would've thought the fact it's not been updated for a year might have tipped you off though...

lol I dont read stuff, I just click and watch :p

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?

Yea, I've noticed this as well, but it has been fixed for a few days in the nightly builds.

Ah.. is there no way to get that theme on the Windows version ? Its quite smart

Not at the moment. Mind you, the OS X default theme is still very much a WIP.

Your biggest hope is for someone to port the OS X theme to Windows after the release of Firefox 4.0.

Fingers crossed.. default Windows themes is very "Windows Classic" imo

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?

Just testing (normal reply box), and did not 'have to click it a second time to be able to type'...

Only extensions installed GMail Watcher 1.21 and NoSquint 2.0.5

Utilizing same profile (new) since 4.0b1

Definitely interesting here...as I do not utilize this method much, however upon trying it right after reviewing your post, I too saw the 'ugly square', but when I left 'mouse button' clicked back on the page it disappeared and now I can not re-produce it....

OK...yes it is a graphical bug as it has appeared again, however this time the square was to the right, not underneath..lol

I got the ugly fonts fixed. When IE9 Beta was installed, another update was installed along with it (KB2117917) and this was causing the ugly fonts, as well as a desktop gadget glitch. I uninstalled both, and everything is as it was.

My OS Vista.

IE is finally starting to look like a proper/current browser... The bad thing is if that if Mozilla don't push bigger things and faster in the browser is gonna fall as the slowest browser soon. If even Microsoft have finally seen that their IE suck and managed to improve it dramatically why is Mozilla so slow on developing and reinventig and falling more and more behind? That's making me sad, I love Firefox, and let's be honest many of us still use Firefox because of it's extensions ... So common Mozilla, keep up!!!

    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
    • You didn't like Mafia The Definite Edition? As a fan of the first when it came out, I liked that remake.
