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.

Finally. Putting it in the address bar was retarded.

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

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:

    • 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.
