Scrolling that way works fine for me. I didn't have to enable any options or anything, either.

Have you tried safe mode or a clean profile?

Just tried safe mode and it's the same. I'll try a clean profile soon. Something that just occurred to me is that I updated my Razer mouse drivers a little while ago, wonder if that has something to do with it.

If you mean scrolling with middle mouse button pressed, that is an option and i think by default it is enabled.It is in options->Advanced->General and there should be an option called Automatic scrolling or something like that(it is the 4th option from top to bottom.i use localized version and I'm not sure how the option is called in English).

Thank you! I had been wondering why this didn't work in Firefox for ages! It seems strange that it was disabled by default. I figured the majority of people would find it to be a useful feature :s.

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

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

Yeah, I suspect the addons are not helping (ReloadEvery for example).

Coming soon.

From what is that improvement coming? Also, that's not a very good screenshot - it seems to be resized [edit: ah, that's the forums doing that, viewing the screenshot on its own looks much better]? (And tbh on my PC it already looks like the 'after' shot in b9).

I'm using the latest nightly too, but fonts are not that clear for me. Do I have to install that hotfix from MS?

If you mean the recent update via Windows Update, I believe that should have some effect - especially on dark bgs. However, I suspect the change referred to above is different, and in Firefox.

why doesnt this update show up when i check for updates in firefox 4b8

pre10 is a nightly build (trunk build) and is *ahead* of b9 (which is out now and can be delta-updated from beta-8, as I just did; Minefield is a separate, and x64-only, install). "Just did" was five minutes ago (1211PM EST 1/15/2011).

Firefox for me is now the fastest browser, and just feels right. =) Loving how Minefield is turning out. Seems quite a bit smoother then Beta 9 for w/e reason. Tab animations seem to run new flawless compared to beta 9.

Can't wait for Firefox to finally have the UI changes to downloads and preferences as well in Firefox 4.x

    • WhatsApp slams Isreali firm, NSO Group, for trying to spy on its users

      So is Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, just to mention a few. What's your point? Everyone is a threat from their enemies' perspective. I'd say that Israel is only a threat to their immediate enemies like Hamas, Hezbollah and the Iranian regime, not to anyone else.
    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance

      By astropheed · Posted

      The government is not the good guy either. You propose 99% of people require that the government overreach and govern their freedom of information and privacy, while ignoring the government is made up 100% of people, of which 99% are (as you described) brain dead. You can't have both. The reality is Signal is absolutely right and the government is doing what it has always done. Ignoring that we are their boss and grabbing all the power they possibly can to make sure we aren't. Your (societies) ###### parenting is not reason enough as to why I can't have a safe platform for my data/information. Thinking the government is helping is precisely what they are targeting psychologically to take suckers like you for a ride. "Think of the children" was, has, is, and will always be a mechanism of control. In the rare occasion it's actually essential the mass consensus has always been there and it doesn't become a debate.
