ColorfulTabs works .. but you need to go to the developers web-site and get the updated version from there ..

ColorfulTabs

I'm talking about for the RC. It does not work for the RC, but it does work for Beta 12. I'm using ChromaTabs with Beta 12, which I might actually like better. It doesn't work with the RC either.

It does work with the RC .. I'm using it now! .. this is the version from the developers web-page I'm using , not the version available from the Firefox add-on pages ..

I know. I was using the same beta version, and it wasn't working for me. The beta version is 4.8.1.2, and the official version is 4.8.0.5

To make extensions work with RC, go to about:config, make a new boolean called 'extensions.checkCompatibility.4.0' and set it to false.

That fixed it. Thanks a lot!! I'm still getting the annoying flickering when moving around in the Bookmarks Menu. Is anyone else getting it? Maybe it's my theme, or an extension such as TabGroups Manager causing it.

i said build 1 NOT final czullo, the final RC build will need to be tested for several days, we won't get that until next week, it will probably be the build i linked but testing of it needs to happen to decide that.

This is also where they check compatibility with the Top 100 addons, so those already worrying about that, hopefully it'll be resolved by the time the actual RC drops.

my guess it is blocked because they don't want the ftp server going down because it is not ment for hundreds of people to download from. i wont be surprised if we see another build of RC1 show up anyway. might as well wait for it to be "officially" released.

This is exactly why it's blocked. Never link to their FTP! Use HTTP instead.

    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear

      By Zeromus2003 · Posted

      I am actually looking forward to this..... I think Dark Ages was way more fun than the tedious expansions for Doom 2 (nu-doom).

    • Windows 11 in 2026: Are you fully on board, or still holding back?

      By +Eternal Tempest · Posted

      Mixed thoughts. I do think MS realized it need's to re-focus on it's core while trying to get people to ultimate pay for AI. My windows machines is my gaming tower. That being said a windows machine I used as a server was just recently converted to no GUI Linux server (and it runs so much better for it's purpse), and general purpose laptop (non-gaming) that could run Windows 11 is using Linux. My work device is a MacBook Pro, and I have a raspberry PI acting as my DNS server, using linux. I honestly have more non-windows devices then devices. I don't consider myself typical user however.  
    • Here is how to watch Apple's WWDC 2026 conference where iOS 27 is expected

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Here is how to watch Apple's WWDC 2026 conference where iOS 27 is expected by Taras Buria It is Monday, June 8, 2026, which means today is the day Apple kicks off its annual Worldwide Developer Conference, WWDC 2026. As usual, today's keynote will be full of consumer and developer-focused announcements, including new versions of Apple's operating systems, developer tools, and more. Apple streams its developer conferences, allowing everyone to tune in and watch the announcements live. Today is no exception, so here is how you can watch it. Apple WWDC 2026 will be available to watch on Apple's official website here. Also, you can stream it on YouTube and the Apple TV app on your Apple device. The stream kicks off at 10 AM PDT / 1 PM EDT / 6 PM GMT+1. Apple's annual developer conference usually focuses on new software experiences, so do not expect major hardware announcements. What is expected is the "27" series of Apple's operating systems, including iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, tvOS, visionOS, and macOS. Apple is unlikely to introduce major UI changes, but you can expect subtle tweaks to the Liquid Glass design language, particularly on Mac. One of the biggest changes Apple plans to announce today is a reworked, AI-powered Siri. The assistant will be available as a standalone app with a chatbot-like experience and Google's AI models under the hood. If you want to learn more about what is expected today at WWDC 2026, check out our dedicated article here. However, if you prefer a spoiler-free stream, tune in at 10 AM PDT / 1 PM EDT on Apple's official website, its YouTube channel, or the Apple TV app.
    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates

      For we consumer readers, it would be helpful if you clearly stated in the headline if the article is about consumer or enterprise. Then readers will know if the article applies to them or not. 2 cents.
