Hmm. 6 days without a 64-bit build now. I'm starting to get anxious.

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

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

[Darrian]

Yeah, I don't expect them to meet the beta 7 deadline of 2nd half of September, but I think they'll be able to get RC1 out in October.

don't think so

they still have beta 8 at hand

[Darrian]

I don't see any mention on the releases page of a beta 8. https://wiki.mozilla.org/Releases

[bogas04]

Why so worried? You would get better builds what so ever , date doesn't matter much.

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.

So am I :p

So am I :p

It won't open for me either. Also, distrowatch won't open, using a nightly. Weird.

Distrowatch works fine here with the latest nightly :unsure:

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.
