What the hell did they make the tabs larger for? They look horrible.

Here Mozilla goes again, changing things just for the sake of change.

Did you miss the last twenty posts where various people said they like them?

Alright, you liked the previous ones. Which didn't match Fx3.6 anyway. You evidently don't speak for everyone. And you can customize it back if you must.

My personal view: I'm happy with it. The extra height might be just a little too much, but that's v minor.

they sure are taking there time with that one last blocker :sleep:

If you're talking about the system requirements page update, I'm sure that's not really going to block RC. And just because the rest is zero doesn't mean it'll get built immediately - they do a review first.

They will probably build tonight like they did for beta 12 and yeah the triage hasn't happened at 11:30 PST yet.. if 0 blockers are at that time we are ready to go!

canweshipyet.com now says "more or less"

YES! :)

mozilla-central is CLOSED for Firefox release candidates

Per the triage meeting today, mozilla-central is now CLOSED so that

release engineering can prepare Firefox 4 release candidates. This means

that NO CHANGES may land, even things which may have Firefox or Mobile

blocker flags.

Rob Sayre is preparing a plan for the mechanics of how we reopen the

tree for both pending changes for Firefox Mobile 4 and new work for

Firefox 5. This includes all the related details about how we manage

nightly testers, branching, feature landings, and the schedule. Until

this plan is finalized, the tree will remain absolutely frozen.

Please direct any followup to mozilla.dev.planning.

Wow, I miss all the fun. I was alone when the square tabs landed. My two cents: I don't like the height but...

1. It's square, better than rounded.

2. Obviously, there are a lot more people who wanted the extra space, and.

3. Since it's firefox, we can customize it, so it's a win win for everyone!

Thanks Heartripper! :woot:

Thanks Heartripper! :woot:

you're welcome! :)

one great problem i have with the new tabs is that now everything else in the chrome seems too rounded for me. i've already reduced the border radius of the navbar so that it's the same as the tabs, but also buttons and the location bar seem to rounded. :/

It sure has. Beta 12 is pretty great despite the small bookmarks display issue I mentioned, and sometimes it seems like smooth scrolling is not where it should be yet. Even using the Yet Another Smooth Scrolling extension. It still sometimes feels jerky. I also wish they would give us an option to have a second bookmarks toolbar if we want without having to use an extension. All the current extensions are incompatible with version 4. Will the RC have the speed increase and recent changes that have improved memory considerably? The people that have used the nightlies say they really improved in those two key areas. Also, they say thumbnails load quicker in Panorama. Will that be in the RC? Are they ever going to officially call it Panorama, or will it forever be known as Group Your Tabs? Thanks if anyone can answer some questions!

I must say I'm impressed with the recent progress. It was slow with a lot of missed dates during the mid betas, but they really cranked out 12 and the RC, and they're amazing.

Been using the betas since 1 and some of the nightlies here and there, and I am absolutely thrilled that the RC is effectively here.

They've got round that bookmark display issue by displaying the sub-menu *next* to the first menu rather than sitting on top of it .. hope that makes sense!

It doesn't make sense, but thanks for replying! So, it will be fixed in the RC then? What about the memory usage that is supposed to be decreased in the latest nightlies? Also, thumbnails are supposed to load faster in Panorama. I hope those fixes made it into RC!

Anyone using the awesome TabGroups Manager extension know how to make your TabGroups auto-save? So when you close the browser and then open it again, all the same tabs should load within their groups. I see an export group option, which I assume might do it. Does that auto re-load it when you re-open the browser, or do you have to do it manually? I should clarify my statement. It does do what I want it to do when the session restore feature is on, but if you drag a tab off into its own window, then close that new window and go back to your original Firefox with all your grouped tabs, it won't remember that setting when you close it and re-open it. Instead of loading all your same tabs, it'll start fresh and open a TabGroup named Start. I don't want it to do that. Any fix for that?

    • 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.
