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.

    • It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.
    • What OS is that? It looks a bit like Mac OS but the command line suggests it isn't, either way I like it!
    • Outlook classic is inherently better than new outlook, for a number of reasons. That said, if the only reason people need office is to read email, they should just use thunderbird.
    • Windows 11 is a big thumbs down from me. I used for a period of a few days while it was in insider and windows 10 was the main OS, and realised it wasn't for me. I am still waiting for Windows to be tolerable again, a shame as at one point I was very pro Microsoft.  
    • Classic outlook, not only does it have a much fuller feature set, it doesn't include Microsoft attempting to sync my emails from my servers to theirs. If classic outlook is ever removed from office, and the version I paid for in 2021 stops working for some reason, I'll use Thunderbird.
