What's the status of beta 7? There haven't been any updates on beta 7 since the 15th.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=blocking2.0:beta7+

37 blockers remain :wacko: i doubt we will see beta 7 before september is over..

37 blockers remain :wacko: i doubt we will see beta 7 before september is over..

Given that the overall number of blockers to final is over 700 (which I believe is quite normal - many bugs are quick fixes), I don't think 37 (now 35) is a huge issue. Still have a week for it to go down (or they may just reassign some bug priorities).

I'm starting to wonder if Mozilla shouldn't delay the final release of Firefox 4.0 (planned for November) for another month or two. Neither the current beta nor the trunk builds are anywhere near the quality you'd expect the product to have 2 months before the scheduled release date.

OK this is strange and annoying. Some websites "can't be found" (eg: https://mijnzakelijk.ing.nl/internetbankieren/) but it loads fine in Chrome.

I've had this with various sites and a refresh or "try again" sometimes fixes the issue, but this is pretty flakey for the preb7 beta.

I ended up doing my payments using Chrome :/

I get there just fine, but I am using the nightly builds.

Is it me or does most add-ons not display in the new "add on bar"? (used to be status bar).

No, it is not you. You can however drag and drop any thing to that bar by using customize. I do not like it as I can't see when my downloads are finished and some extensions rely on the status bar.

    • SpaceX has secured a significant cloud-services deal with Google, agreeing to a monthly payment of $920 million for computing power.  This agreement, covers approximately 110,000 NVIDIA GPUs and other components.... https://cio.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/investments/google-to-buy-computing-from-spacex-at-920-million-per-month/131543026    
    • no thanks is overpriced and its not the fastest ram neither.
    • It is, but it also has a bad performance reputation even on high-end gaming PCs. Some people say it's the engine's fault, others say it's the games developers' fault, who knows... At the end of the day, for the average gamer, the take is this: PC game with Unreal Engine 5? Be affraid and cross your fingers, it's a 50/50 chance.
    • 25th anniversary Xbox Series X unveiled with classic translucent green design by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Xbox Games Showcase had a new Xbox console reveal from Microsoft celebrating the gaming brand turning 25 years old. This is to be a new limited edition Xbox Series X and controller collection that draws on the design of the rare green version of the original Xbox console. The "XBOX Series X25 Limited Edition" is coming out later this year with its matching controller. "Inspired by the look and feel of the original XBOX console, both the console and controller feature a translucent OG Green design, with subtle tributes to the journey we’ve been on together," said Microsoft in the announcement. The Xbox Series X|S line has received several new variants over the years, but this will be the first edition with a translucent design. The Xbox Series X25 will have one terabyte of internal storage and a green light on the X to signify the console lines' history. There is a 25th anniversary logo printed on the front plate. Microsoft is also teasing that the community will be able to find "a few hidden surprises throughout" the machine as well. As for the new X25 Special Edition Xbox controller, this is also coming with the classic translucent green design for its front and back plates. "From the original ABXY colors, to the timeless green, every detail calls back to the beginning, including the bumpers honoring the original black and white buttons on the original “Duke” controller," says the company about this release. "The back case and battery door are fully transparent, revealing the classic XBOX logo." The XBOX 25th anniversary collection, containing both the translucent console and controller, will be available for purchase in November 2026 as a limited-edition release. Microsoft will be offering the new XBOX Wireless Controller X25 Special Edition separately as well. Pricing details and pre-order information will be coming later.
