is there anyway to make the Unsorted Bookmarks menu go back to being a pop out menu instead of launching the Library and also moving it back to the top of the favorites list?

i personally hate this change that they made and I hope i can get it to revert back to the old behavior.

I don't know if there's a way to change it back. But a while back I had already made a Smart-Bookmark for Unsorted Bookmarks, so this recent change didn't really affect me at all.

Really impressed with the last few nightlys speed wise just wish they would get rid of the grey tabs, anyone got a stylish I can remove them with?

the grey doesn't go with the theme at all in my opinion.

You do know it's grey, because your using a visual style right? If you use default Windows theme it's fine.

None of the ones I listed will be fixed with Beta 7. Some won't be fixed with Beta 8 as well.

Once these will be fixed, Firefox will be damn fast. :)

Ah well. At least they've found places where they can definitely improve performance. Looking forward to the next beta / release.

Major perf bugs left,

- Scrolling some pages / Smooth Scrolling = laggs like hell

- D2D + Flash + Opacity = laggs like hell

- Image + Animation = laggs like hell

- UI is running in the same thread = laggs like hell

- Retained Layers + Certain videos = laggs like hell

- DownloadThemAll! / Thunderbird UI + D2D = laggs like hell

:yes:

These should be fixed soon enough (assuming you mean Flash videos in the second menu item)

Plugins currently don't interact well with the Layers system, they're not retained so on every paint/scroll/etc. they're re-rendered. That's being fixed so that it will be cached on the GPU or whatever, meaning painting will be very fast.

There's also a couple of bugs that should improve performance (rebuilding the alpha channel, or skipping that entirely), and eventually they'll just offer Flash/etc. a plain Direct3D/OpenGL texture to render to and composite that, which will mean that Flash and such will be come very damn fast (All rendering and compositing done entirely on the GPU)

On OS X I think they can paint CoreAnimation plugins (i.e. Flash) directly via OpenGL, and since OpenGL Layers on OS X has been enabled now, we'll probably see full HW accelerated plugins and compositing on OS X first (and soon, but maybe after 4.0)

I have 4.0b8pre installed on Windows 7. Flash plugin is installed and everything was working fine.

Lately I cannot see the flash animation on www.formul1.com and www.speedtest.net

Only extension is adblock and I made sure none of the filters are blocking it. Known issue?

Yep. Its some sort of incompatibility with the latest nightlies and Adblock.

Just tried 4.0b6. It seems a lot more unresponsive and laggy compared to 3.6. This was with clean profile and no extensions.

uhm its not like its beta software. :p

of course it will run slower than 3.6

its unoptimized and buggy.

does it crash when not in safe mode?

No, but I had a similar problem with the Bing Bar. Safe mode just disables all extensions and plugins, you can definitely narrow down which one it is. If you use Adblock, make sure you use the beta version.

    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.
    • Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
