Ah I understand, soo when I download firefox-4.0b13pre.en-US.win32.zip now and manually update, will I get auto updates back in a few days?

EDIT: Holy fluffy cloud.... I'm now on 4.0b13pre and god... so fast :woot:

I am bit confused , its 8 bugs to RC , and if all fine then RC=Final , isn't it? If so then why are they saying that it will be shipped as soon as 8 bugs are fixed

Basically when the 8 bugs are fixed, they will build the RC and if no new issues or regressions are found in the RC testing the RC will become the Final release.

4.0b13pre ...fast, snappy, low memory usage ... we are back in business :woot:

Indeed, the memory usage of the previous builds were way too high for my tastes, but after downloading the latest nightly build they seem to have gotten it way down. Still a bit heavier than FF3, but not by a ridiculous amount, and it's to be expected with new features and whatnot.. don't get something for nothing. Fast as all hell too, virtually identical to the latest Chromium on the Sunspider test for example, literally +/- ~5ms on my system. The final build is shaping up to be an excellent release.

So im using build 1 of beta 12 and things are still broken, girlfriend pointed out about 2seconds of using it that hotmail is still broken (it refreshes every second and then just goes crazy) now I don't care but for hotmail but i know alot of people that still use it and this seems a major bug for a browsers that's suppose to be close to release ,other problems that im having involve high cpu n ram with 2! tabs open?! non with flash or anything like that, also plug in container crashing(with flash duuhhh) but still having to restart firefox because it won't load the container back up :/ takes away the point of it working like that in the first place.

I can't see this been released anytime soon its just not ready and I hope they don't just rush it out under pressure.

also has anyone ever had firefox crash their nvidia driver? I can reproduce it if I leave firefox open overnight minimized, its a pretty big bug which iv already reported to nvidia and soon mozilla.

The hotmail refreshing every second is a Microsoft Hotmail issue that they are aware of and have said they will fix before Firefox 4 is released. Mozilla have also added a temporary fix in an upcoming build as a quick-fix until Microsoft patches the issue.

I used to have high CPU + RAM and this has been improved alot recently with yesterday's nightly which will eventually become RC

I don't like the idea that Mozilla is working around it by selectively using the HTML4 parser for Hotmail and the HTML5 parser everywhere else, I'd think a better solution would be to just leave it and let Microsoft fix it.

But, it's temporary, once Microsoft get around to fixing it the change will be reverted.

    • Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Microsoft announces the return of Xbox exclusives with Gears of War and Clockwork Revolution by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft had plenty of announcements to make today at the Xbox Games Showcase celebrating 25 years of the gaming brand. Now, under the leadership of the new Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, Xbox games are going back to their original release methods. She appeared in the livestream itself to announce the return of Xbox console exclusives. This means two major upcoming games from first-party studios won't be coming to PlayStation or Nintendo consoles: Gears of War: E-Day from The Coalition and Clockwork Revolution from InExile. Both titles will only be coming out on Xbox Series X|S consoles and Windows PCs, ditching any plans they had for PlayStation. "These are not timed exclusives," confirmed Microsoft. "We’re committed to investing in and growing XBOX both on console and beyond." The company confirmed that any already announced Xbox titles for PlayStation, under previous leadership, will continue to arrive for the rival platform. This means games like the new Halo remake, Forza Horizon 6, Fable, and State of Decay 3 will still be available on PlayStation, either at launch or later. It sounds like any new projects announced by the company will avoid other consoles in the same way. Microsoft first opened the floodgates by bringing titles like Sea of Thieves, Grounded, Hi-Fi Rush, and Pentiment to PlayStation and Nintendo consoles back in 2024. Since then, almost every new game release from Xbox Game Studios has arrived for rival consoles alongside Xbox and PC. This decision follows Sony's plans to ditch its own multiplatform releases too. Outside of multiplatform live service titles, the PlayStation maker is even abandoning its PC porting endeavors that started years ago.
    • This Corsair Vengeance DDR5-6000 32GB RAM with RGB is a great deal for limited time

      By xMorpheousx416 · Posted

      I'm missing the beginning part of this equation... but for the sake of the convo, you don't get to take a $250(?) set of normally priced RAM, jack it up to over $500/600/800 just because of a market shift, then lower it back down to more than what it was originally and call that a "sale". Not the author of this post... the manufacturer/seller.

    • Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions

      It is, but it also has a bad performance reputation even on high-end gaming PCs. Some people say it's the engine's fault, others say it's the games developers' fault, who knows... At the end of the day, for the average gamer, the take is this: PC game with Unreal Engine 5? Be affraid and cross your fingers, it's a 50/50 chance.
