The nightly builds here says the latest nightly was build 3/7

Seems like the nightlies aren't updating cause I still have the 3/3 nightly and it says it's the latest.

Btw, where can I find the changelog of the nightly builds?

is it worth installing the RC on the mozilla ftp or should i wait for it to be officially released

its still showing B12 on the FF4 site

I like it a lot. Much smoother and faster. Feels very nice! I had so much anticipation to see how it would run sense Firefox 4 Beta 12 and Minefield Alpha pre13 landed. Very impressed.

Ah, that explains it. Been wondering the same thing about why the nightlies were not updating.

i have a feeling RC wont be out till next week. there is still 1 blocker and a few blocker nominations.

Bummer.

Damn you, McAfee SiteAdvisor. Holding it back for everyone else.

Doesn't look like it'll take long to resolve though, and it's a good bit of dedication for a good user end experience.

From the bug report,

it seems the fix has to come (and has come) from McAfee, not from Mozilla (comment #6)

it's the ~48th most-used add-on in Fx (#16)

Mozilla is debating blocking particular (older) versions of MSA but is worried about just how many users will be hurt (#15) by not updating the add-on in time.

BTW, some time ago, MSA caused problems with GMail when accessed through Chrome, IIRC. But Google doesn't really bother. They tell complaining users to check with whoever (McAfee in this case).

As far as I understand the builds don't update when a release is near.

Yeah, the trunk's frozen, the only changes (like 6 of them) are ones blocking the mobile version (so they have no affect on the desktop builds). The last nightly is basically equivalent to the RC build, just branded differently.

apparently the mcafee advisor blocker is a server-side bug so it will be fixed and not have an impact on the software and shouldnt delay RC1 or RC2 whichever comes by the time its fixed.

Yep, the blocklists are server side, they just have to update the list before Firefox 4 is released.

They don't look the same to me. Unless it's my theme, or an add-on changing them.

They have changed the tabs to look slightly more like IE9 (squared), but personally I think it looks horrid and they should have made it an option.

I'm Just happy we have stratiform that not only allows us to clean up the current messy look (tabs especially) but also change other elements of the UI to make it completely customized :)

It actually depends on the user. Personally, I don't really think that an added "square/rounded" option should be added on the program itself cause there are addons and userChrome.css tweaks that can be used to re-design the interface.

I'm one of those who like the square tabs (after stylish-ing the height)

Well, can you share your stylish? I want to check out square tabs on my Firefox 4 RC.

Anyone know why I can't get Bookmark This Link or Bookmark This Page to work in the right click tab context menu? Very strange bug. I want to be able to right click on a tab and use Bookmark This Page. It works for Bookmark All Tabs, but not for a single page. Does it work for anyone else? Maybe it's yet another extension causing a conflict.

Help -> Restart Firefox without addons

I'm pretty sure RC tabs are square.

.tabbrowser-tab, .tabs-newtab-button {
   -moz-border-image: url("chrome://browser/skin/tabbrowser/tab.png") 4 3 2 3 / 3px 3px 2px 3px repeat stretch !important;
 }

Read the posts on the stylish thread and you'll see lots of good styles.

    • If its the devs fault you would think Unreal would help M$ take full advantage of Unreal and work with them to fix the performance issues. Otherwise they are catching unwarranted bad press.
    • Thanks for the advice guys, I'll give my current GPU a clean and then run the benchmarks to see how similar it is. Hopefully a bit of a clean-out will help it last a bit longer.
    • Pretty sure those will still be in this game. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
