Meet Firefox 4.0.1

[foxxyn8]

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?

Could be. I haven't had any problems installing scripts from userscripts.org with the latest dev build of gm.

Looks like it was. A fresh profile was all I needed. Everything works now. :) .

Not for long. :p

I like this green :) But why no progressbar/line? These circles are just spinning but not showing the percentage.

woah so they're picking the throbber colour for us now?

The lines lied. There was no actual progress being shown, because the size of the page is unknown.

Green is the color of progress bars on Windows (Aero), on Mac OS X they are blue and on Linux they seem to be following the Ubuntu theme.

I prefer the current throbber on OS X (post removal of progress lines) I guess they are going to change it again? :rolleyes:

[TheJudge]

i want it to stay blue in windows QQ

at least give us the choice to pick the color? :(

It was just a temporary thing until they got the themed versions landed. It was always going to change.

They were picking the color before too..

These look really nice. I have something to stare at while the page loads, as funny as that sounds! :laugh:

I might miss the tab progress lines, but now that I'm ready that they're not even accurate it's a necessary loss. :)

No final beta 7 yet ?

I'm on the nighty pre-8 build, so 7 should be out soon.

It won't be out soon as there are still 17 bugs including 6 critical

Good explanation for the seemingly static beta 7 bugs list here: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=10033079#p10033079

Great explanation, I knew there were like 18 bugs a week ago, but now I understand the problem.

Just now my minefield updated to another build. the new loading animations are green on windows.

Finally! Man, those dropmarkers make a pretty big aesthetic difference in my opinion, believe it or not! :D

Beta has so many bugs, but it is so hard to use final again. Painful Painful.

Not particularly true, since it wasn't even supposed to exist. Mozilla needs to re-examine their mockups.

Direct3D 10 Layers has now been turned on by default in today's nightly

Not particularly true, since it wasn't even supposed to exist. Mozilla needs to re-examine their mockups.

They implemented the progress bars, and found they didn't work too well (i.e. they sucked)

Then they implemented the new spinner, but it was just using a temporary image at the time since the theme specific versions hadn't been made. They were made and then landed.

The mockups are just that, mockups. The finished product was never going to match them exactly 100% (some mockups showed things that simply weren't possible), and the design was always going to change going from an idea to an actual implementation (e.g. progress bars, they looked pretty, but sucked when using them)

[Udedenkz]

Progress bars sucked in terms of their usability.

Is Beta 7 supposed to be Feature complete? Compartment GC, JC and other bits all landed or going to be landed on beta 7 branch.

Beta 8 will be fixing and polishing these features as well we as other performance and UI patch.

Am i missing anything?

P.S - At this rate it will be xmas before we see Firefox 4.
