Meet Firefox 4.0.1

I got that too, It's very annoying.

same here

Why have they stopped uploading 64 bit minefield builds? there hasn't been one since the 16th.

they don't have enough servers to compile and test them.

[Darrian]

Obviously they'd planned on releasing a build on the 17th, but didn't get around to it (they made a folder for that day but it never had any files uploaded). Since today is Sunday I wouldn't expect another build until tomorrow at the earliest.

argh, pretty annoying though, right as 64 bit flash comes out I cant use 64 bit minefield.

they don't have enough servers to compile and test them.

They do (they re-build for every platform every hour or so), they just aren't "official" releases yet, so they only build nightlies every so often.

[GeXeH]

I get that problem too? You mean where the Aero areas turn completely transparent/non-interactive and the window buttons disappear?

I also get this, it's very annoying.

I have a new idea: is there a way to make the personal-menu button show the content of app-menu in it's default layout? Or maybe move the app-menu in right of the navigation-bar and style it something like a regular navigation-bar button... :dontgetit:

Found this on the personal menu add-on page (written by the developer):

*** Personal Menu with Firefox 4.0 Beta ***

If you want to replace the menu of Firefox Button to the one of Personal Menu, you may install userChrome.js and put this code into the file "userChrome.js":

if(location == "chrome://browser/content/browser.xul"){
var appbutton = document.getElementById("appmenu-button");
appbutton.setAttribute("context", "toolbar-context-menu");
var appmenu = document.createElement("menupopup");
var newappmenu = document.createElement("menu");
newappmenu.setAttribute("label", "Firefox");
newappmenu.id = "new-appmenu";
newappmenu.appendChild(appbutton.firstChild);
document.getElementById("compact-addbutton").parentNode.appendChild(newappmenu);
appbutton.appendChild(appmenu);
appmenu.setAttribute("cmpopup",true);
appmenu.id = "menubutton-popup";
appmenu.setAttribute("onpopupshowing","CMCE.onOpenMenu(this, event, this.cm_list);");
appmenu.setAttribute("onpopuphidden","CMCE.onCloseMenu(this, event);");
}

So it should work the other way around, but I don't have enough knowledge to do it myself. Ideas ?

By the way the identifier for personal menu button is:

#cm-menu

Todays nightly just landed. No major changes: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=1996301&sid=7f11c1f142d00a327116aa575a95a69a

Firefox now seems really snappy , to me , its visually as fast as chrome 7 (at least on my system)

now i need it to get some theme polishing , some more of performance to actually be as fast as say at least chrome 6 , and be super stable (D2D , layers , you know)

Wrong link? Those threads are created before the nightlies are built.

You'd want the one for the 20th, the latest released one: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=1995455

(Just wait for the fun when the trunk splits, then you get two sets of nightlies threads)

Had to give up on 64bit. Too many crashes, not enough updates :(

Putting it in with nightlies is a little misleading to the uninformed :rolleyes:

Tbh, I can't agree. You should be informed if you're running nightlies.

They don't really belong anywhere else, cause they're still nightlies - just not regular.

[Darrian]

Why not? I am! :p The only thing missing is tab progress bars, which is the only reason I'm anxiously awaiting another build. After that I don't care how regularly the put them out so long as I can update again when the next feature hits, assuming there's anything left to work on UI-wise.

They do (they re-build for every platform every hour or so), they just aren't "official" releases yet, so they only build nightlies every so often.

They haven't put out any hourly builds since the 16th, which is what I use.

[Brandon H Supervisor]

the only thing left that i notice right off the bat is the home button in the tab bar

and i think i remember something about they're going to do it so the tabs go into the title bar when maximized, but i'm not sure if they scrapped that or not

[Darrian]

Yeah, I've pretty much given up on that. On the other hand, I'd given up on the "fission-like" progress bar and they managed to throw that in there, much to my surprise, so you never know.

[Luis Mazza]

Anyone knows when Beta 7 is being released? Thx

[Darrian]

Soon

Same here. Hoping they don't wiff on x64.

LOL

Reminds me of 2012... the end of the world is also coming... SOON.

[Darrian]

A serious answer: it's due out the 2nd half of this month, that's a close as it's narrowed down right now. We won't know until the build numbers change (4.0.rc1pre?) that they've begun to prepare it for release.

[DexMorgan]

It's gonna be ready when this list goes to zero:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=blocking2.0%3Abeta7+

then ofcourse some QA (few days), so optimistic version is late, late September, otherwise beginning of October imo.

The word nightly means just that. Regular. An event which occurs once every night. But I really don't care to argue about semantics, and I am now slightly more informed. :)

Some downloads cause Firefox to freeze, usually when the file is almost finished and then scanned for Viruses, this is very annoying and only seems to be causes by exe files.

[SkyDX]

Anyone else having the problem that since a few nightlies ago, DeviantArt galleries show up as empty? It still works in other browsers :blink:

It's been like this for a long time now, more than a few builds back...don't have a clue why...
