only 16 hard blockers left :whistle:

I wish they'd add a couple more to that. The bouncing on the sides for aero is incredibly annoying when window is not maximized and the text rendering with Hardware acceleration off is pretty bad as well.

It must be your computer I have not had either problems on mine.

It's not my computer, it's known bugs already.

For instance go here and look on the left black menu: http://www.disney.co.uk/disney-parks/

Can't find the aero bouncing one atm. I'm talking about nightlies though not sure if your using beta or the nightlies. On nightly for instance if you hover over "Edit" button on here the aero part on left and right move or "bounce".

Another annoying one is the entire Aero border is too thick:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=618353

All problems though sound like they will not be fixed until Firefox 5.0 though :(

Just tried watching a Flash video in the Beta 12 nightly and for some reason flash "flashes" in it. Using the same plugin on the stable version (3.6.13) it doesn't flicker. This is using Beta 12 64 bit on Ubuntu Linux.

Because they are not important.

1.I almost never use the browser not maximized so i don't see the "bouncing aero"

2.i don't care about border thickness because of 1. (is 1 pixel that big a difference?)

3.I use HA so i don't get this bug either

Well a lot of people do use their browser not maximized... and HA is terrible until they fix the bug where you can read text on white backgrounds without it being blurry. "About:home" looks awful on the address bar.

And the border bugs are negligible (really 1 pix and the "bouncing" aero).

It's an issue of consistency. That's one thing I liked about OSX (though recently they've been diverging away from it), is that the UI is consistent (not trying to start a flame war, I'm a Windows 7 user through and through). In Windows, everything is all over the place. Yes it's only 1 pixel but it's NOT consistent with the rest of the windows and it needs to be addressed, same with the "bouncing" aero.

Some people may not care about the visuals as long as the program works but the UI is what the user sees, it is critical and it kills me to see how inconsistent the UI is in Windows (going off topic beyond Firefox). Microsoft should implement some restrictions which wouldn't allow Mozilla programmers to have a thicker or thinner border and going beyond that such as custom themes (i.e. iTunes, Nokia Ovi Suite, Yahoo Messenger, Quicktime to name a few)

I completely agree about the inconsistent UI on Windows. It's a shame that most developers do not make a greater effort to make their software look like it belongs in Windows; such as those developers that insist on not having Aero borders.

Currently I have disabled Hardware Acceleration. The reason is while browsing random websites the screen goes black for 2-3 seconds and resumes normal activity.

I know many of you would point to faulty drivers, bad GPU etc.

Below is the spec

Windows 7 (64-bit)

Lenovo T410

Nvidia NVS 3100M

Driver running latest 8.15.10.2253

Make sure you report it to Mozilla.

How can there be two parts to one bug? Right now there are two blockers. There's a part 1 and a part 2.

bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=634590 failed automated tests after it landed. Bugs that fail tests generally spawn another bug to 'fix the tests' - thus part 2

part 2 bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=635582 to fix the tests.

There is some discussion they might just drop this for 4.0 - but that's not been made for sure yet. Seems to be folks still pro & con on the issue.

yeah i noticed the font is a little bit blurry on beta 11 and the nightlies too but i have no idea why it is like that.

After looking into it more, apparently IE9 uses GDI type font on a ton of websites. Fx4 is not. I guess that explains it mostly for me at least, as I prefer how Firefox 3.6.x handles fonts, but cannot stand it's handling of fonts on menu's.

    • 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.
