If you had read the last page of this thread, where you also made a post, you would know how to do it...

The site is too dodgy to post here - it uses software from http://templateshares.net/ - (DO NOT type TS Special edition 7.2 in google or you will find such sites :s)

As mentioned by others it is a feature and I will refer to macel's posts for disabling information

I have another problem.

For a long time I have been able to type in for example "imdb <moviename>" and be sent directly to the right imdb page.

Recently I discovered that it is no longer working.

I was told to go to http://kb.mozillazine.org/Keyword.URL#Possible_values_and_their_effects

I found that it does not provide me with any fix.

I tried to insert one of the suggested urls into the keyword.URL - it still just sent me to the new engine's search page when typing "imdb <moviename>".

keyword.URL;empty

keyword.enabled;true

I solved the problem by adding the google address to keyword.URL which I found at http://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config_entries

Oops, missed the last post..

Anyway, phuzi0n on Mozillazine made a comparison after the last text rendering changes (component alpha).

The left side is the old comparison and the right side is comparing the previous improvement on top to the current rendering in middle and the difference on bottom. As you can see, the text in the mid right (current rendering) is drastically better.

There's still a problem with the gamma in the manual compositing path (i.e. component alpha and drawing text to an transparent surface), which can result in some fairly crazy colours.

Templateshares.net works fine for me here and I did a google search for "TS Special edition 7.2" and them sites work fine too :/

As for IMDB I went to the site, right clicked the search bar and clicked "Add a keyword for this search" and called it imdb. I can now type imdb <Search term> and it searches for it using IMDB :s

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=626293

I'm not actually sure if it does affect the component alpha rendering stuff, I experimented with it yesterday after posting and I got conflicting results (so most likely it was just the way the API behaves)

You have to' use the following url in keyword.url

http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&amp;oe=UTF-8&amp;sourceid=navclient&amp;gfns=1&amp;q=

I have been using FF nightly for some time and it's stable enough to use it as my main browser.Maybe i will continue using FF nightly(or Beta at least) even after FF 4 is officially released.

Maybe not recommended, but I also think the same.

Firefox 4 is starting to feel like Gmail, perpetually in Beta :/

Not for much longer though. :) The plan was all along to have many betas this time, for good user feedback.

But we're finally getting to the last planned one now. :p

Next up, 10 release candidates! Haha

I have just replaced my aging version 3 of Firefox with the latest Firefox 4 beta and I'm excatly loving it. Less extensions to do what my previous firefox install had achieved with around 50 extensions. But there are some problems which I have sent to the feedback centre.

- how do I make search results open in a new tab and not in the current tab.

- With tightly packed menus, it has made Aero Snap impossible. I had always draged to de-maximize. It's possble butI have to contentrate on finding free space on the tabbar like the bit under the orange home menu button.

- If I suspect a link in a website, I always hover over the link and see the real link in the statusbar in the older versions. Where is this?

- When in the Addons Manager, and in the Get Addons. I see the addons homepage, then I click an addon to learn more about that addon but I found I can not return to the addon homepage. The back button goes through the other tabs in the manager but will not revert the actual "Get Addon's" history.

The target of hovered link is now moved to the awesomebar.

Did you mean that? It's been in the awesomebar for a while in the betas.

Judging by the screen shots fonts look really awkward still... :/

xan K's screenshot looks slightly resized to me. Pressing alt to get the toolbar has better text for me than that (on beta 10).

- Tab Mix Plus

- Tab counter (gives you something to grab onto, while also telling you how many tabs you have open)

- Moved to the address bar (on the right)

- Seems to be busted

    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.
    • Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
    • Windows has had it, it's called camera frame server. I recall when it was first introduced in an early Windows 10 release it caused issues and there was a registry entry to disable it. Seems like they disabled it by default at some point. Windows 11 brought that toggle to the settings app (not just registry) a while ago.
