I was having an issue after standby, if I went into suspend/standby, when I loaded it back up the UI would hang

Guess why my dock icon for it looks like this:

Ahhh, custom icons. I've never figured taht one out.

Copy a picture (from your browser, within Preview, etc... the PICTURE, not the file... so... the displayed pixels ;D) - preferably a *.png, due to transparency.

Right click the app, select Get info, click on the icon (top left) so it's surrounded with a blue glowing.

Paste by pressing Apple+V. Done.

Enjoy (Y)

Mind you: for Apple icons you will need special software. :(

CandyBar for example.

Basically you will get less I/O blocking with your UI elements such as AwesomeBar , bookmarks, history etc.

Then there are a group of memory bugs, once fixed should lower the total memory of current nighties by 30 - 50%.

Compartmental GC for beta 9.

Some additional JavaScript Enchantment and tidy up.

Those who have used the latest nighties will know Firefox 4.0 will be a great release.

engineering teams are engaging in The Great Re-triage of all existing blockers

* already 100 bugs taken off the list

* focus is on cutting back feature set and shipping what we have

* may move some features to be behind preferences in order to get to completion

* will be able to estimate time to product completion after this

could this mean that we will get firefox 4 final sooner now? still possibly in Q1 2011? i hope so :D

I'm glad that they are re-evaluating what is needed and what isn't, as 4.0 really does need to get out as soon as possible. I deployed Firefox 3.6 at work last week for our Post 16 students to use for testing web designs in muliple browsers and I was shocked at just how dated and far behind it looks now.

Dump some features, hold them back for Firefox 4.5 or something :p

They've pretty much revaluated list of blockers.

Here's some more info:

In a coordinated effort, the Firefox and Platform engineering teams wrapped up the last of our blocker re-triage events, reducing the overall blocker count by an AMAZING 353 BUGS! This is an approximate decrease of 35-40% from our original blocker bug count. Blocker bugs are those which must be killed before we can ship the product. The bug count reduction above includes those that we've moved to the next release, decided just shouldn't block, and some that we've dropped entirely. Of course, this is a fuzzy metric as not all bugs are created equal, but this is a huge step forward as now we have a ton more clarity into the release.

i have been thinking of just upgrading to 4.0 now because i cant wait for final anymore.. is is stable enough for everyday use and to put on other family members computers?

Well, I have not really had any issues since beta7, but I still would say "no." One example is that TurboTax doesn't work with Fx4, unless you pretend to be Fx3. So I would at least install user-agent switcher if you are going to put it on family's computers.

well nobody in my family uses turbotax so that isnt a issue for me if i get firefox 4.

Woah! Thanks for the info :D

Now something personal :/ i find as if software giants are now using "Meet XYZ" inspired from this thread :p

Meet Firefox

Meet Opera 11

*note for ppl from future : idk if its the same for u also*

Back to topic , now we have ~478 total blocking bugs! (as mentioned by iwod) , which makes Q1 release realistic to me

Also , site AWFY 2 now has a small note

This is a beta preview of a new AWFY. We added the Kraken benchmark and Google's Crankshaft engine to the mix. We'll be adding a legend and a line for our type inference engine shortly after the new year. In the meantime, enjoy the holidays! -dvander

Sounds good :D and we got a 2% win in SS and 3% in v8 :cool:

Update Bookmark Star Icon has now landed !

well nobody in my family uses turbotax so that isnt a issue for me if i get firefox 4.

That was just an example of something that wouldn't work. All my websites work fine with Fx4, but certain websites (such as TT) may artificially limit you from using an unreleased browser. Heck, for a few months after Fx4 is released, sites will probably still restrict its use by browser agent string. Just a heads up.

Woah! Thanks for the info :D

Neat, they redesigned their website, looks nice.

    • 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.
