Anyone know if the hover over effect bug in the menu/Bookmarks Menu display issue is fixed in the newest nightly? The pre Beta 13 that everyone has raved about. The one that is fast and uses less memory.

I hope they fix that soon. It's rather annoying.

I have no flicker on bookmarks menu with today's nightly.But i'm not sure what is the menu hover bug?Can you be more specific?

I'm pretty sure it's the same thing. I call it the bookmarks display issue, and another user named Frylock86 calls it the menu hover bug. Same thing. Glad to hear it's fixed in the newest nightly. Can you confirm to me that you had the issue in previous betas? Also, can you link me to the newest nightly? The one that is faster and takes less memory. Thanks!

Looks like HW acceleration works fine with the horrible font rendering turned off now (directwrite i guess). Don't think it was able to in previous betas - trying to turn off the font rendering would turn HW off as a whole.

You've just disabled all anti-aliasing, in that case DirectWrite has to function like GDI.

I might be going crazy but I have never noticed this but when I launch Firefox from the taskbar I get a separate Firefox icon instead of just using the pinned one?

I've had that issue with multiple programs and not just FF, just pin the newly created icon and unpin the old one and u're good to go.

Not sure what I disabled in Firefox. Actually I went and made a new profile and saw all gfx. values match the one in SS and fonts still look the way I want it to. I guess it's mimicking to behave the same way I've set up my Windows fonts - tahoma and cleartype off. :) It's great now either way

Yeah, it uses the system settings, if you force anti-aliasing off it won't use it.

Is this site showing a really old style scroll bar for you guys? http://telus.com/

I thought Firefox doesn't support custom scroll bars? Any idea why that is showing?

Yeah, I see that too, strange.

The page is explicitly disabling Visual Styles, but Firefox 3.6 ignores that, and so does Firefox 4 on OS X (but Firefox 4 on Windows seems to honour it)

Since that guy mentioned custom scroll bars, anyone know of an extension for custom scroll bars? I'd like to make mine blue. I have it like that on Chrome. I like it to stand out a little more.

I use this as a style in Stylish. Works with the lastest Minefield:

@namespace html url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);
@namespace xul url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);
@-moz-document url-prefix(http://), url-prefix(https://), url-prefix(ftp://), url-prefix(file://), url-prefix(about) 
scrollbarbutton {-moz-appearance: none !important; background-color: transparent !important; border: none !important; }
thumb {-moz-appearance: none !important;  border: none !important; background-color: #800000 !important; -moz-border-radius: 10px !important; } /*#800000 is maroon and can be changed to anything less garish*/
scrollbar {-moz-appearance: none !important;  background: #909090 !important; }
scrollbar[orient="vertical"] thumb { min-width: 14px !important; max-width: 14px !important; min-height: 14px !important; background-color: #800000 !important; }
scrollbar[orient="horizontal"] thumb { min-height: 14px !important; max-height: 14px !important; background-color: #800000 !important; }
scrollbar[orient="vertical"] { min-width: 14px !important; max-width: 14px !important; }
scrollbar[orient="horizontal"] { min-height: 14px !important; max-height: 14px !important; }

I do not know of an extension for such a feature, but I know of a way you can get custom scrollbars in your browser. Go to Userstyles, and then search for 'scroll bar'. The results I received are here. Not all of the scripts shown are what you need, though. I'm not sure if there is a blue version, but I would imagine the iTunes scrollbar there would fulfil that need, as iTunes uses a blue-ish scrollbar on both Windows and Mac OS, rather than a native scrollbar. In any case, to make use of the scrollbars and anything else on there, you'll need to download Stylish as well.

Once you have Stylish installed, you simply go to Userscripts, find the script you want, and then click 'Install in Stylish'. If the scrollbar does not appear for you, hold Ctrl and then press F5. This should make it appear, though it may not appear across every tab. You may need to do this at every tab instance you have open for the new scrollbars to take effect.

Er, what is that image supposed to be showing?

I see some weird number separators (who writes 293420 as 2,93,420? Is it a locale I'm unfamiliar with?), an oddly large plugin container, and a fairly normal size Firefox.

Its supposed to show that flash is taking more memory than the browser , geez!

Is it all possible to put back the "new tab" option on the tab context menu? It's really annoying me, every time I go to open a new tab I end up hitting "reload tab".

yes click customise and then drag it onto the context menu, i have mine to the left of the forward/backward buttons.

I don't know how to file a bug report(or how to technically explain this bug) so i will write my bug here and hope someone can file it for me.I am playing a browser game and there is a drop down box which changes the contents of another box below it(from the drop down box i change the instance/dungeon i fight mobs in and in the box below it shows the items i can get from that instance/dungeon), but when i change the dungeon from the list it doesn't refresh the box with items.It started few nightlyes ago i think.The game is called Dragon's Call.You can test this with a lvl1 character.You can get to this by clicking on the Instance button on the bottom of the game window(just above the experience bar) and then on Instance exchange tab at the top.Can someone more tech savvy test this and file a bug report?Thank you for your help.

    • Amazon Deal: These AMD RX 9070 XT GPUs are very good offers by Sayan Sen Following the release of AMD's new RX 9070 GRE last week for $549 (our review), AMD currently has a couple of great deals on the more powerful 9070 XT wherein the GPU is on sale for $650. We already covered the Gigabyte Gaming model a couple of days ago which is still live at that price. Aside from that, the white ICE variant is also at the same price (purchase link under the specs table down below). This is interesting to note considering white cards are generally more expensive as they come with a premium attached. Similar to the Gaming model, the ICE card too employs Gigabyte's WINDFORCE cooling system which combines multiple design elements such as alternate-spinning Hawk fans, a vapor chamber, and composite heat pipes to manage heat dissipation. The Server-grade Thermal conductive gel further helps in this department. The inclusion of a semi-passive cooling mode allows the fans to remain inactive under low workloads, which allows for reduced noise operation during lighter usage. There is dual BIOS switch that allows toggling between performance and silent modes. The tech specs of the card are given in the table below: Specification Value Boost Clock Up to 3060 MHz (Reference Card: 2970 MHz) Game Clock Up to 2520 MHz (Reference Card: 2400 MHz) Stream Processors 4096 Memory Size 16 GB Memory Type GDDR6 Memory Clock 20 Gbps Memory Bus Width 256-bit PCI Express Interface PCI Express 5.0 Max Resolution 7680 × 4320 Maximum Displays Supported 4 Display Outputs 2 × DisplayPort 2.1a 2 × HDMI 2.1b Card Dimensions 288 × 132 × 56 mm (L × W × H) (2.7 slot) Recommended Power Supply 750 W Power Connectors 3 × 8-pin PCIe Get it at the link below: GIGABYTE Radeon™ RX 9070 XT Gaming OC ICE 16G Graphics Card (GV-R907XGAMINGOCICE-16GD): $649.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $750) If your budget is lower, check this Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti 8GB deal out for only $330 wherein you get the latest James Bond game free.
