Today's nightly is much better than yesterdays. Yesterday on 3+ different occasions, the browser became unresponsive (well it had crashed) - think it had something to do with flash as well.

I don't like the page loading bar - its black with a grey'ish tint moving across. I guess that its not normally black?

mine is black too O.o dunno why, the blue looks a lot better

it has to do with your windows theme

it's only blue if your on the default Aero theme, any 3rd party windows theme will cause it to be grey, just like it causes the toolbar to be white instead of the light blue

Sweet.I like the Fission-like, windows-style progress bar v1.03 .It looks great.

That's mine. Glad you like it! :D

Anyway, any news about changes to that stupid add-on bar? If they don't make an auto-hide or style it in any way I don't understand why they changed it in the first place. This new one is worse that the old status bar ...

The addon authors are always slow at updating their addons, which is a shame since you see some core issues don't get noticed until the last beta or so.

Yeah, but it's especially bad this time around. I'm usually on board for all betas of Firefox, even alphas if stable enough. I was using until beta 3 or 4, but just got tired of it and switched back to 3.6. I really did like the new version, but stuff like Greasemonkey needs to work well in my opinion before I switch full time.

Yeah they should make the addon-bar to auto hide or something because a lot of addons don't have toolbar icons to drag them somewhere else.

And even if they do why keep an ugly button and waste space for something you don't use very often? They must do something about it or maybe the 'autohide statusbar' develeper will be kind enough to make a 'add-ons bar' version ...

Yeah, I agree, as cool as this update is, it's hard to use it full time. Still a lot of issues, some with the browser, many with add-ons too I'm sure. I only use 2 extensions, both of which work and I still have a lot of snags for a program past it's 6th beta. It'll be fine tuned soon I'm sure.

Can I ask what snags you're having? I've been using 4.0 since the first beta and I've noticed little wrong with it.

An occasional flash problem here, a few sites that won't load or seem to be offline (but accessible with another browser), trouble adding/editing Google Calander appointments. Bugs that I realize will be fixed, and I'm not complaining, only making an observation.

Just want to report on Nighties, most of the annoying rendering bugs in pre beta 6 are fixed. And things are faster then all previous beta. It is not Chrome fast, but noticeable, and smoother experience.

Firefox 4 Beta 1 - 2 makes me feel Firefox 3.6 were slow. And Beta 3 - 6 didn't make much difference.

Beta 7 feels like a version 4.5 to me.

Although there are things i dont like about the UI, but from the latest nighties i am finally confidence to say Firefox 4 will be a good release. And it will certainly beings me back from Chrome / Opera.

Furthermore Kdenlive brings a powerful titling tool, a DVD authoring (menus) solution, and can then be used as a complete studio for video creation. Kdenlive supports all of the formats supported by FFmpeg or libav (such as QuickTime, AVI, WMV, MPEG, and Flash Video, among others), and also supports 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios for both PAL, NTSC and various HD standards, including HDV and AVCHD. Video can also be exported to DV devices, or written to a DVD with chapters and a simple menu.

Visual effects include options for masking, blue-screen, distortions, rotations, colour tools, blurring, obscuring and others. Configurable keyboard shortcuts and interface layouts. Rendering is done using a separate non-blocking process so it can be stopped, paused and restarted. Kdenlive also provides a script called the Kdenlive Builder Wizard (KBW) that compiles the latest developer version of the software and its main dependencies from source, to allow users to try to test new features and report problems on the bug tracker. Project files are stored in XML format. An archiving feature allows exporting a project among all assets into a single folder or compressed archive.

    • Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June games showcase week has been a packed one, with everything from major presentations like Sony and Summer Game Fest to indie-focused reveals coming in almost every day. Now, it's almost time for another big one, with Microsoft bringing its Xbox Games Showcase back later today. This is a double feature too, with a Gears of War E-Day deep dive also being attached to it. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase is kicking off at 10 AM PT | 1 PM ET | 6 PM BST | 7 PM CEST later today, June 7. The event will be available to watch on the official Xbox YouTube (4K 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, Steam, Amazon Live, and other portals. Separate livestreams for American Sign Language and Audio Description will also be available. "This year marks 25 years of XBOX, and this Showcase is poised to be a true celebration, offering world premieres, new gameplay, fresh updates, and more for a swathe of projects we cannot wait to share," said Microsoft about this presentation. With a new CEO behind it that is pulling off some interesting moves, Xbox may have some surprises to reveal today. New looks at first-party games like Halo Campaign Evolved from Halo studios, Fable from Playground Games, InXile Entertainment's Clockwork Revolution, Mojang's Minecraft Dungeons II, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 from Infinity Ward are to be expected here. We may finally get to see the new Blade from Arcane Studios in action and a new Persona game from Atlus at the showcase too. Surprise announcements may also arrive from other Microsoft-owned studios like Bethesda, MachineGames, Ninja Theory, Obsidian, Rare, World's Edge, or Blizzard. Considering how every new release nowadays is staying away from November and December to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI's release, any launch dates Microsoft announces will probably skip those months as well. Once the Xbox Games Showcase ends, Microsoft will immediately kick off the Gears of War: E-Day Direct. This deep dive into the upcoming prequel from The Coalition should attach gameplay footage and perhaps a release window to the highly anticipated project.

    • 007 First Light review: Satisfying spy adventure that James Bond needed

      By Nick H. · Posted

      So after some fiddling I was able to get it to run at a pretty stable 30FPS. I'm slightly surprised about how much fiddling I had to do to get there though given what I thought was reasonable hardware: Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics Memory: 16 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor 1: AMD Radeon 780M Graphics Graphics Processor 2: AMD Radeon RX 7700S I think I could do it better if I use Linux rather than Windows, Windows RAM usage is stupid without stripping the system down. But once I got it working in a reasonable state, it was so awesome! I felt like a new Bond! If anyone has any advice to get things going a bit smoother FPS-wise, I'd appreciate it.
