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.

But why no progressbar/line? These circles are just spinning but not showing the percentage.

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

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

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.

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. :)

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.

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)

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.

    • Helium Browser 0.13.1.1

      By cork1958 · Posted

      FWIW, I've been using Helium on Linux and Windows since the first time it was mentioned here. Actually, maybe a day or 3 before, as I searched for it when I saw it mentioned on the MX Linux forums. Haven't had a single issue on either OS. Not bad for a beta.
    • U.S. delegation throws away all burner phones and gifts from China before takeoff

      By AsherGZ · Posted

      See up until a few years ago y'all could get away with simply denying your war crimes, pretending it never happened. Unfortunately for you, it's the 2020s and Israel's genocide has been livestreamed in real time. You have to be dumber than a rock to think anyone still believes your propaganda. See the cat is already out of the bag. The world already knows who you are so do yourself a favor and just drop the facade. Bet it gets real tiring keep track of all the lies. Take some inspiration from Israeli ministers who boast on live TV they like massacring civilians. Every zionist accusation is after all a confession.
    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates

      By QuantumBigfoot · Posted

      He's just reporting what Microsoft posted. https://msmessagecenter.com/MC1381119 It just means that Windows Defender updates will no longer be bundled into the monthly Cumulative Windows security update and will now be a separate download. They'll still be on Microsoft update of course but now they can be released faster.
    • Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Apple announces iOS 27 with no changes to the list of supported iPhones by Taras Buria At WWDC 2026 in Cupertino, Apple announced iOS 27, the next mobile operating system for compatible iPhones. The update focuses on tweaking and improving last year's iOS 26, particularly in areas like app launch time, Liquid Glass design, and more. Additionally, Apple has reworked Apple Maps with a significantly enhanced Flyover view for a much more realistic view. Apple also promises better performance, smarter search, new Health features, new parental controls, and more. The most important part is that iOS 27 is compatible with all iPhones that can run iOS 26. That means that even the seven-year-old iPhone 11 can run iOS 27 (supposedly better than iOS 26). iOS 27 will be available this Fall, with the first developer betas expected later today. You can follow the live stream here.
