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.

      I have disabled it, but the app is still taking space. I have a Mac and it is only possible to disable Ai on that, but I think that bit does get rid of the AI components after a while. What we are told is that we agree to all this when we use the devices as it is in the end user agreements, their software, they can do what they like. I doubt that any bill will happen in the U.S, the government there are in league with big tech firms. The E.U maybe, they seem to have some guts when it comes to tech companies. The U.K is not in the E.U, but some things still affect us. Our government is as gutless when it comes to tech companies as the U.s government.

A major compiler is used for both x86/x64 and WoA64 architectures. This also means that all core libraries are re-compiled accordingly which required some changes in the build scripts. One of the core libraries (cURL) has been updated to address vulnerabilities and a nasty linker error that was causing the need for a dedicated patch which could now be eliminated.
