Meet Firefox 4.0.1

[Phenom II]

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

It won't close! After upgrading from 4.0b5 to b6 it stays open in background and has to terminated via task manager.

On another note, it seems to be crashing a lot, could be a plugin I guess.

Still not using the new OSX theme :cry:

[ViperAFK]

Beta 6 still doesn't have the new refresh button either :/

[Phenom II]

lol - well that doesnt work

[Kirkburn]

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.

Major breakage! :)

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

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.

That's the current state of the OS X default theme for Firefox 4.0, yes.

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

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

Yes, that's the Mac theme.

Edit: I could have sworn I had just loaded that page.

Edit 2: Oh yeah, and the Mac theme on Windows would resemble Safari, except with normal titlebars.

add-ons manager window is still empty for me since b5

Any known fix for this? None of the sections are populated :(

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've installed the IE9 Beta, and now the font rendering on Firefox has gone ugly.

[ViperAFK]

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!!!
