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

    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance

      By freedonX · Posted

      When I was a teen, I actually believed that the government used to be always be the bad guy. However as an adult, someone who has actually seen the Law work (though not perfect). I now think everyone cries a river. In this specific case, the so called freedom has consequences to society. Anyone who has seen how child are indeed affected, and I don't mean only extreme things like getting drugs or hate crimen , but no one can deny society as a whole has gone down a rabbit hole due to exesive use of internet. Before anyone calls out that it's the parents responsibility. Yes that's true, but the reality your family/kids might be good people. There are 99% out there who are not and have been brain dead by many things on the internet.
