Meet Firefox 4.0.1

[ProclaimDragon]

Ok, thank you all for your help.

We've had the new progress throbbers for days now. Yes, they look pretty. Now, can I please have my effing progress lines back? WTF?

J?gerMonkey has "crossed the streams", which means that in it's base configuration it's now faster than Safari on SunSpider and the v8 benchmark.

There seems to be an issue that makes J?gerMonkey+TraceMonkey (i.e. the default setting) slower on SunSpider than plain J?gerMonkey, but that doesn't effect the v8 suite.

At this point Firefox 4 is 13ms slower than Chrome on SunSpider, which is less that 1/60th of a second to put that into perspective.

13ms? Unacceptable. :p

Those aren't coming back most likely. Going to have to use Fission or some type of addon to get em back.

[Deo Domuique]

Get the Add-On Status4Evah.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/235283/

It gives you back the old status-bar and also Progress-Line and some other options. It's just great.

[Darrian]

But I don't want the old status bar, it was crap and good riddance it's gone.

Why on earth would they ever have wanted to remove them? They were working fine and finished, it doesn't make any sense to go back to the old style. Surely the jackass that decided that was a good idea has some sort of blog where he explains why they would want to regress and what drugs he was taking?

Rounded corners for nav bar landed :D (see them in latest hourly or the next trunk)

AskVG.com is a well known news & web blog site. On his site he wrote a front page article entitled "What I hate about Firefox 4", he lists progress bars, removal of status bar, and removal of rss icon in address bar. He goes on to say that Mozilla should listen to what we supposedly want and revert back those changes. Now he just finished an article about how they listened to him and reverted progress bars, just like he wanted. I said it before, alot of ignorance in alpha & beta testers about their role, to test the software and report back to the developer, not use a major website to blog and try and influence developers with negative news articles and using headlines like "Hate about Firefox 4", which is not a finished product.!

They removed the progress bars because they sucked, they just weren't that well implemented, didn't work well and didn't look that good.

[Duke D]

The tab progressbars were awesome. The new little circle sucks. No idea why they decided to change it.

On a related note, does anyone have a working greasemonkey? Mine broke about 2-3 nightlies ago.

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

you sure?!

i don't renumber it was part of their plan , maybe now that it won't be for Fx 4.0

they could do it?

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

They've done it for the OS X build (It's not a 32bit/64bit universal binary), the main base work is done, all that's left is hooking the logic and such up for Windows.

[Steven P. Administrators]

On some sites javascript simply doesn't work, like jump list menu navigation and flash as well (youtube videos) don't show.

Using latest nightly ad block plus, omnibar and stylish

My only gripe about Status4Evar is that it messes up the look of the URL identifier box... :cry:

Finally! That small missing thing really somehow made ff4 look pretty ugly. it looks SO much nicer now.

So is that the out of the box UI now or is that pic the latest nightly with a few mods?

That's mainly OOTB, only difference being that he removed the search bar.

I hope they get the flash issue with adblock sorted sooner than later.

I've downloaded that a few times, but each time I go to click "Install" on userscripts.org, all I get is a page of script, and nothing is installed. Is it just a problem on my end?

[kilara1988]

Those dev builds work on my FF4.
