So let me get this straight:

The list of hard blockers must be fixed before a RC can be built (2 bugs)

The list of soft blockers can be moved to future releases. (63 bugs)

So what is this list of bugs for?

I wonder if turning of 'Use Hardware Acceleration When Available' in the Options > Advanced tab does the same thing .. or not?

I'm sure I read something about this a couple of weeks ago .. can't remember where now ..

Anybody know for sure?

It goes a step further and also disables Direct3D compositing of the window, the only reason you'd want to turn that off is if you're getting bad rendering issues (random black squares, corrupted output, etc.)

Are the rest of the UI changes going to be coming with the RC? Is the Options menu still going to updated like in Shorlander's mockups? What about the new tab animations and the shadows for the tabs? Is the Bookmark Manager UI going to be updated as well? What about the new drop down arrows for the search and address bars?

I did look at the "Are We Pretty Yet" page, but I wasn't sure if that is including ALL of the UI bugs for Firefox 4.

I believe the new dropdown arrow for address bar at least (the big arrow) has been cancelled. Only drop down arrows I know of that need to be added are the "slight bigger" ones that the bookmarks button uses.

Thanks to both of you. :)

Wow, do the new tabs look ugly....

<removed>

They look okay. A little dull. I guess I could get used to it though.

When did those tabs land? I don't remember them looking like that and I used 3-2-11 nightly.

I don't think they've landed. Well, at least not on my Minefield. Go to Bug 570279 and scroll down to Attachments. Click the very first link and you'll see the picture that he posted above.

This is what comment #32 of the bug has to say:

I want to point out that this will likely cause churn where we already have

screenshots (SUMO, marketing and promo materials, and MDN?) taken of FF4. This

looks pretty different to me at first glance, though admittedly I don't live on

Windows.

Brings it into doubt?

    • Microsoft confirms a new, useful Teams' app is coming very soon

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft confirms a new, useful Teams' app is coming very soon by Sayan Sen In the modern digital workspace meeting recordings and summaries are very commonplace, still finding the right recap later can be surprisingly difficult. To address that inconvenience Microsoft is working on a new dedicated meeting recap application designed to bring all meeting recaps into a single, centralized location. In a recent announcement on its Microsoft 365 roadmap website, the company has confirmed the new applet and has explained how the new experience will work and why it believes it can help users stay on top of discussions without having to search through multiple chats, calendars, or files. For those unfamiliar, meeting recaps provide a summary of key discussions, decisions, action items, and other relevant information generated after a meeting ends. They are intended to help participants revisit important points while also allowing those who missed the meeting to quickly catch up on what happened. Traditionally locating older recaps could require users to navigate through various conversations or meeting histories. The new meeting recap app aims to simplify that process by gathering all available recaps into one dedicated hub. According to Microsoft, this should make it easier to browse past meetings, review outcomes, and stay informed about ongoing projects and discussions. One notable feature of the applet is the addition of quick filters which are meant to allow users to instantly narrow down the list of available recaps and surface specific meetings without manually searching through extensive records. Audio recap is also there. If you're wondering how long these recaps will last before self-expiring, the app will provide access to meeting recaps from the past 30 days or approximately one month. You can view the feature entry here on the official Microsoft 365 (M365) website under roadmap ID 564614. Its rollout is set to begin this month (June 2026). Do keep in mind though that new feature rollouts often get delayed.
