I don't know about you, but today's build is the fastest i ever had till now.With this build browsing feels more nimble and it scored the lowest score on SunSpider i ever scored with FF4.I feel when FF4 Final lands it will be damn fast compared to FF3 and at least as fast as other browsers or close to them.

Keep up the good work FF Team.

PS:With the latest Chromium build i get 311ms on SunSpider, and with today's FF Nightly i get 364ms.The difference of 50ms is nothing to me.

Anyone having problems with flash with AdBlock Plus installed on today's nightly?It's like it blocks it even if you didn't tell it to do it.For example the flash part of www.speedtest.net where you chose server to test doesent load with adblock enabled.I have to disable adblock from addons menu to get it working, but then i have no adblock at all.

Very few flash objects are loading for me, so I can confirm that. :(

are you guys using the official adblock build of the dev one?

the dev build seems to work better with the nightlies get it from the official adblock website

With the official build i had bugs like no background on adblock mouse menu,not all lines of the menu visible,not working some of the menus from the mouse menu when clicked.So i installed latest dev build, but it is the same with the dev build too.So i guess its just some major conflict between adblock and todays nightly.

How come there have been such dramatic Flash related problems for these betas so far?

I've generally always used the Alpha and Beta's of Firefox builds for main release versions and have never come across problems that can affect general browsing so much before.

The main painting issues would be due to the fact that they're now using Direct2D to render all the page content, and that they've overhauled how the page is actually drawn to the screen (And that's shown some issues in how plugins are drawn that never mattered before).

It's still bugged in todays nightly. it's weird as not ALL flash objects are gone - Like on my website, the ustream player works, but if I go to the ustream pages, it doesn't! Some websites you see the flash object loading for a split second then it vanishes from view.

I think I may go back to a nightly from a few days ago for now as I can't get by without ABP.

Anyone using Firefox 4 64bit out there?

I just bought a new computer and was thinking of installing the 64bit version (I'm running in7 64bit) but should I? I can see official nighties for 64bits but last time I heard, Mozilla stated that the 64bit version was not going to happen for version 4. Did that change in the meantime? Will Mozilla officially release a final Firefox 4 64bit version?

There's also the matter with plugins. A 64bit browser is no good without 64bit plugins; otherwise I won't be able to use those plugins, right? Or can I use 32bit plugins on a 64bit browser? As of now I have a bunch installed like Adobe Acrobat, Google Earth, Java, Microsoft Office 2010, Microsoft Windows Media Player, QuickTime, Shockwave Flash, Shockwave for Director, Silverlight and Windows Live Photo Gallery. Most of them were automatically installed with some apps and I don't really need them; the ones in bold are the most important ones. Are there 64bit version of the bold plugins or can I use the 32bit version?

Some enlighten me please...

There is 64 bit java (there has been for quite some time) and a beta 64 bit flash. I think thats it for 64 bit plugins right now though.

ABP works for me. The latest Deb build.

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:2.0b8pre) Gecko/20101015 Firefox/4.0b8pre

You can get it here:

https://adblockplus.org/devbuilds/adblockplus/

When the 64bit build becomes an officially supported release, the ability to run a 32bit plugin with a 64bit host will come with that.

The OS X build already has that functionality, and it works ok (except for the fact that the plugin situation on OS X is a bit of a mess, so only fully Cocoa plugins work OOP, Carbon plugins like Silverlight don't)

That doesn't seem to solve the issue for me on OS X at least

Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:2.0b8pre) Gecko/20101015 Firefox/4.0b8pre

Flash is still temperamental in whether it displays or not.

I haven't tried windows as I haven't booted to windows all week (hackintosh)

    • You can't remove Safari though. Or almost any other bundled app for that matter, and pretty much all of them are useless to me (and there are is a heap of them compared to Windows). I'll much rather take Edge than Safari, at least it can be highly customized vs. Safari. I'll take a PC with ten Edges over a Mac any day though as I can't stand all the limitation and painfully frustrationg restriction that make me dislike their stuff with a burning passion, iOS included (especially iOS).

    • Glow 26.9 by Razvan Serea Glow provides detailed reporting on every hardware component in your computer, saving you valuable time typically spent searching for CPU, motherboard, RAM, graphics card, and other stats. With Glow, all the information is conveniently presented in one clean interface, allowing you to easily access and review the comprehensive hardware details of your system. Glow provides detailed information on various system aspects, including OS, motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card, storage, network, battery, drivers, and services. The well-organized format ensures easy access to the required information. You can export all the gathered data to a plain text file, facilitating sharing with others for troubleshooting purposes. No installation needed. Just decompress the archive, launch the executable, and access computer-related information. Glow runs on Windows 11 and Windows 10 64-bit versions. Glow 26.9 changelog: New Features The processor hardware detection engine has been significantly enhanced beyond traditional Intel and AMD architectures. Native support is now available for modern platforms such as Apple Silicon (M-Series) and the newly introduced NVIDIA Spark. In addition, all ARM-based processors can now be accurately distinguished between ARM32 and ARM64 architectures, providing precise hardware reporting. This marks a major milestone for Glow's hardware detection capabilities. The RAM manufacturer identification algorithm has been expanded. JEDEC vendor codes for popular brands such as Patriot, PNY, Team Group, GeIL, Lexar (Longsys), and Asgard/Gloway have been integrated into the database. This significantly reduces the likelihood of incorrect or "Unknown Manufacturer" results and improves overall hardware detection accuracy. New Public IP Address and Internet Service Provider (ISP) features have been added to the Network section. To ensure reliability, this information is retrieved from the trusted service ipwho.is. When Hiding Mode is enabled, no requests are sent and these features remain hidden, as they may expose sensitive information. The search engine used in the Installed Drivers, Installed Services, and Installed Applications sections has been enhanced. You can now perform more flexible and accurate searches using initials, partial matches, and loosely arranged character sequences. The TS Preloader loading bar has been rebuilt using our modern TS Custom Controls graphics library, developed entirely in-house. As a result of this infrastructure upgrade, the loading bar now features smooth rendering and rounded corners that align with the visual style of Windows 11. [TS Updater] A new validation algorithm has been added to check whether the target application is currently running before the update process begins. Bug Fixes Resolved a condition that could prevent TS Preloader from shutting down safely during rare application crash scenarios. Fixed a text alignment issue in the Network section affecting the display of DNS addresses. Alignment is now rendered correctly. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue that could prevent the updated application's executable "*.exe" file from being located after the update process. [TS Updater] Fixed a bug that could leave outdated "*.sha256" files in the application directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed a rare issue that could cause subfolders to be moved into the root directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue during the first launch that could cause flickering and a temporary white window appearance due to Windows Defender interactions. Changes A small improvement has been made to the internet connectivity detection algorithm. Connectivity checks are now performed in the background with minimal impact on the user interface thread. The keyboard shortcuts in the top menu have been reorganized and simplified to provide a consistent experience across all Türkaysoft applications and to avoid potential conflicts with standard Windows shortcuts. The TS Preloader splash image has been updated with a Türkiye-themed stadium design to celebrate Türkiye's qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup—its first appearance in 24 years. Congratulations, Türkiye! The TS Custom Controls module has been updated to version 26.6, delivering improved stability and a more polished visual appearance. [TS Updater] The application icon has been redesigned to provide a more modern and refined look. Note: Always unzip the program before using it. Otherwise you may get an error.
