they disabled it in the latest builds again for whatever reason

Is it possible to turn off the tabs in titlebar then?

why turn it off? they left plenty of room between the tabs and the firefox button to drag the window

I would turn it off because I don't consider that space to be plenty of room at all. It's a space smaller than any button I've ever seen, in between two other big, clickable targets, and made even worse by the fact that one of them is a tab that can be dragged out of the window. I could live with having the top-left corner next to the App-button being the Aero-snap spot, because I really like how easy it is to select tabs when they're at the absolute edge. But I realize others would rather have that corner be a part of the App-button instead.

What are they planning to do?

argh the tab animations lag even worse on my laptop (2.0ghz core2 duo, 4gb ram, mobility hd2600) Its alright on my desktop now though as long as I don't have any flash/tabs windows open. If I have another window open with a flash video the whole UI becomes laggy. I really hope they are working on this lol.

I am having the same problem but when I have a lot of tabs open and use tab candy. Sucks.

Hope they fix it.

I cant understand mozilla or firefox team, WHAT THE HELL are they doing with the UI, first the tabs on the top and eliminate the menu and title bar, later the position of stop and reload button and NOW they eliminate the status bar.

The main issue of firefox its not the UI, i like the UI and so its the mayority of those that its still using firefox 3.6 and if we can account for ie, safari and firefox users we are the mayority, if people hated the firefox interface it the first place they changed to chrome or opera or MAYBE they customize it they way they wanted it.

Why screw your loyal users in changing the UI just for the sake of the minority, i cant understand it, what its worse its that they think that copying chrome make sense... Most of the people i know that changed to chrome from firefox its because of the PERFORMANCE and SPEED, and that should be the main focus of mozilla o firefox team.

STOP messing the UI and forcing things (like the elimination of the status bar), one reason that people like firefox its because its one of the most customizable browser, and sure i can customize the thing a wanted it seems that the core functionality its force for those changes in the interface and that its so wrong.

I remember when ie moved to version 7 and people sticked with 6 it took almost two version from 6 to 8 so that the less savvy person can get used to it and now microsoft its changing it again with ie9.

Firefox dont need a change the ui, if people dont want the status bar they can disable it, but by eliminating it you dont give option to those that use it.. I think that firefox team its in the middle of identity crisis...

I feel the exact same way. I'm sick and tired of them making FF look like Chrome. I don't understand why they took out the "option" to have a status bar. If these Chrome lovers want FF to look like it, let them. But don't force me to use the new style. I love FF because of the options that no other browser allows, but it looks as if I'll go back to using IE as my main browser since FF was released.

IE9 looks like it'll be pretty great. I really want to see an answer from Firefox to IE9's ability to pin sites to the taskbar. Still, I'm not sure I get why you would mention IE as a viable alternative when you say you preferred Firefox because of how customizable it is. IE's not really a competitor in that regard. For one thing, there's no status bar.

I don't think you will be very happy with ie9 then, as it removed the statusbar.

And firefox 3.6's default UI looks pretty atrocious and dated, I think a lot of people do want this change. Calling them a minority is silly.

This site stopped working for me with the latest nightly :/ http://nederland.fm

Normally I click on Radio 538 3rd image down from the left.. but instead of loading the player it redirects to http://nederland.fm/radio/radio538/radio-538-heeft-het.html now.

Having to listen via Google Chrome now.

Cookies are enabled, AdBlock Plus disabled on that site and I don't block Javascript there either. (worked until I just applied the update).

that's what you get for listening to Radio 538 :p

isn't there some kind of flash player on the station's official website?

the latest x64 nightlies are giving me loads of flash-related problems. it crashes like 9 out of 10 times.

That's what I get for running x64 I guess..

No statusbar? Looks like it'll be suicide for me then.

:(

I would venture to say perhaps after the next beta/RC i will switch to using this full time rather than the current builds. However, as slow as the progression is going due to some hurdles they are overcoming i am not sure how long that will take lol.

    • If its the devs fault you would think Unreal would help M$ take full advantage of Unreal and work with them to fix the performance issues. Otherwise they are catching unwarranted bad press.
    • Thanks for the advice guys, I'll give my current GPU a clean and then run the benchmarks to see how similar it is. Hopefully a bit of a clean-out will help it last a bit longer.
    • Pretty sure those will still be in this game. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
