definately before, IE9 RC isn't even out yet, i'm sure microsoft will wait 2 months after that till they release final, its such an important release, they will need it to be perfect as corporations use it.

Yeah I bet Microsoft browser share would really be in trouble if corporations stared using Firefox. That will never happen though.

Anyone else getting major slow downs with the Add-on managers page open? Seems to be having speed issues else where, but I can't seem to put my finger on it... or is it just me?

I installed it along side Beta 8, but beta 8 got removed shortly after, maybe I jumped the gun on this one?

It got so bad, I'm posting this in Opera 11....

Mac version here, umm Firefox 4 beta 9 is working on flash websites but i'm not getting any video on YouTube just audio. :blink:

Can you fullscreen?

Glassed Silver:lin

Was beta 9 supposed to fix memory usage issues? After upgrading from beta 8, with one tab currently open, firefox is using around 200,000k of memory.

You could be right here, running the latest nightly and I am on only 600mb with 39 tabs :blink: Before it was 800-900mb...

That's odd. You must be running a ton of add-ons for your browser if it's taking that much memory with only one tab opened. I'm using Firefox 4b9 as well, with six tabs open and I'm hovering around 180,000k of memory in use. I quite like the changed Firefox interface: while it might be derivative of other browsers, such as Opera and Chrome, the themes for Firefox should really help it differentiate itself from the crowd. The start-up speed was quite pleasing as well, but that might be because the browser had simply closed and was re-opening.

I have about 15 add-ons, which include, Google toolbar, Adblock Plus, WOT, ForecastFox, ReloadEvery, Stylish, Flashgot, & a few add-ons from Mozilla Labs.

Is that after opening and closing other tabs, or initial load? Does it do the same in safe mode?

It goes up to 200,000k of memory after about 10 minutes of use in one tab.

PS- We are now at 113 hard blockers not too many days ago it was around 135 :) i see this below 100 really soon! :D

Where do you see the list of blockers for beta 10?

Hmm OK, maybe I'm missing something here, but can anyone scroll with the the scroll wheel pressed? Noticed it in the last beta but can't remember when I could last navigate using it. Is there now some option I've now got to enable? Is it a bug, or is something else going on?

Well the release is apparently about a month away!

Anyway, still can't use this beta until MS fix the font rendering, it's just terrible. I know I can turn off hardware rendering, but it works fine in Chrome so I'd be going backwards not using it.

    • App, useful & Teams shouldn't be used in the same sentence.
    • New Outlook for Windows and Web is getting a simple but very useful email feature by Sayan Sen Recently Microsoft put up a blog post highlighting not one, not two, but 15 total reasons why it feels you should switch to New Outlook already. If that was not enough, the company is bringing another new feature soon that could finally compel you to switch over to the new app. According to a recent update on the Microsoft 365 roadmap, the tech giant is making changes to how message sorting works when users choose criteria besides the traditional options of From, Subject, or Date Received. The idea is to provide better options for the attribute being used for sorting and make it easier to understand why messages appear in a particular order. For those unfamiliar Outlook already allows users to sort emails using a variety of fields including sender, category, importance, subject, and message size. Users can access these options through the Filter menu in Outlook for Windows and Outlook on the web. With the upcoming change, whenever users sort by a field other than From, Subject, or Date Received, Outlook will automatically display an additional column showing the value being used for the sort. For example, if messages are sorted by Size, a Size column will appear in the message list, allowing users to immediately see the data that determines the ordering of emails. Microsoft believes this should make sorting behavior simpler and reduce the need to manually adjust views or inspect individual messages. Support for sorting by Flag Due Date is also coming and should be especially be helpful for users who rely on email flags to manage follow-up tasks and deadlines. The feature is listed under Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 564803 and is expected to reach general availability beginning later this month itself (June 2026). You can find the entry here. As always though, users should keep in mind that roadmap timelines can change and rollout schedules may occasionally be adjusted by Microsoft. Outlook for Web is also set to receive this feature.
    • That is true. but the liability side of my balance sheet is clean and has been for decades.  Nobody comes a knocking,  calling or writing harassing me for the money i owe them.😎👍  Haven't dealt with "a money changer" in decades and like Jesus it was in Jerusalem.  Don't have much money, but have even less stress in my life.👍👍     P.S.  Sorry, can't walk on water or change it to wine,  
    • Maybe ? DLSS Swapper (can swap the DLSS/FSR/XeSS versions) as long as the game (typically online/competitive) doesn't checks for file tampering. You can try different version(s) or update if not the current version of the FSR. https://github.com/beeradmoore/dlss-swapper
