Replying to a post to how Firefox plan to speed up their release times, directly talking about Chrome's faster release cycle, you're saying it's hilarious how slow they will be? Are you from the future?

You just saw what you wanted to see. I was just trying to mock Chrome's unnecessary bumping up version numbers. A new version number every six weeks? If an application is version 10.0 and the other is 5.0, IMO it doesn't mean anything.

Fair enough, I just interpreted it the other way around :p Agreed, version numbers don't inherently mean a lot.

I assume the majority of people (myself included) don't drag windows all that much. Besides, to use aero snap just use the keyboard shortcuts (much easier):

Windows key (held down) + up arrow = maximise

Windows key (held down) + down arrow = minimise

Windows key (held down) + left arrow = snap to left side of screen

Windows key (held down) + right arrow = snap to right side of screen

Real keyboards don't have Windows keys. :p

Yep :)

Also, it looks like they gave in and decided to add an overlay in the bottom-left corner, Chrome style, for status messages.

Bugzilla

Finally. Putting it in the address bar was retarded.

Beta 10 is in the /releases/ folder on the Mozilla ftp server now.

http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/4.0b10/

The font rendering looks a little better but the browser is still noticeably slow. I'm a long-time user of Chrome so I guess I'm accustomed to using a fast browser. The UI changes and other features make it a browser worth using.

I know it's really trivial, but the blue line underneath the active tab is annoying me. It wasn't there before.

Other than that I haven't noticed really noticed any difference to beta 9. Like Anaron has said, it's still noticeably slow compared to Chrome.

While it was fine in the beginning, Beta 9 seems to get slower and slower when there is flash content on the page, I get a lot of complete freezes now.

Do we know when is Beta 10 going to arrive?

See a few posts above yours - it has arrived: http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/4.0b10/

Oh, haha, nevermind.

Neowin doesn't seem to take me to the last unread post any more and just takes me randomly somewhere between what I last read and the end of the topic so I usually miss a bunch of posts.

Why was it retarded? I don't really have an opinion on the matter, but I am curious as to what the pro-s and cons supposedly are.

Years and years of being used to a status bar/links being shown in a status bar.

It's quite a large behavioural change.

You can understand Google hiding the status bar until it needs to show something, but completely changing the status bar to show in the address bar is far different.

Don't have that line on the nightly.

It's a Tab Mix Plus bug, wait for a update :cool:

    • 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,
