Hi! Now i have the google searchbar and the bookmarks ikon displayed :/ how can i disable them again? Could somebody help me please?

Oh and somehow my Gmail Watcher has disappeared from the toolbar and i can't move it back :(

[kilara1988]

From the Minefield button->options->toolbar layout.Drag out the search bar and the bookmarks icons into that window and search for your your gmail watcher icon and drag it where you want it.

I don't get it, why even give out estimated delivery dates if you are bound to change it?

Unforeseen circumstances. Bugs can pop up at anytime that can change the schedule.

Because it's just an estimate?

Thanks god it's not like GT5 right?

Well may be they need to follow Debian's philosophy, 'release when ready' and not give out dates at all. Their estimates are WAY TOO OFF. i.e. FF 3.6, 3.6.4, 3.7?, Beta 7 etc... this is just in last year or so. They are months off their target!!

By giving out incorrect estimates, they are only looking more unprofessional. They cannot look bad (or unprofessional) if they don't even give out estimated dates.

Beta 7 candidate ftp directory appeared, first builds should follow quickly.

I've decided to install as few addons as possible for Firefox once I update to the 4.0 final release, because then it keeps the speed up. The reason it was so slow for me was because of the addons.

Are they evey planning to fix the awful tab animations? Compared to chrome and opera they are very laggy and unresponsive.

There are a lot of performance related bugs that block Firefox 4 release... that is all I know.

Tabs DO NOT lagg for me.

Sensible plan. A bunch of the many I used to use are being replaced by built-in functionality anyway, which is always good to have (e.g. Sync, Glasser).

how long does it usually take from a candidate build of a beta to a beta? Hoping maybe it might be released tomorrow.

Usually 1 or 2 builds. Occasionally 3.

i was meaning how long in hours or days assuming no blockers get reported.

If you haven't learned by NOW, THERE IS NO SET TIME!!!! Take a couple tokes and chill! Have you tried calling a psychic friends network? Maybe purchase a tarot card reading. Consult an astrology chart. Ask a dead person!
