i moved all earlier builds all add ons, erased the directory, installed a fresh install of RC1 and..! i keep getting crash every few seconds of starting it up! any advices?!

Did you start with a fresh profile? I was having this problem, but something in my profile was crashing it. I moved my profile and started with a new one and then selectively moved in what I needed. No problems anymore.

Go to Run -> firefox.exe -profilemanager -no-remote

-no-remote -> It is there so that if you have firefox currently running, you will still be able to open the profile manager. It is useful on running multiple profiles simultaneously as well. You can add it on the shortcut as well.

Well, I'm lazy so here you go:

Managing profiles

I'm sure I found a more detailed guide but forgot about it.

Post if you have further questions.

Thought I would finally give it a go since it's almost there.

Don't like the orange "firefox" menu up there. Seems like a waste of space. They should move it to the left of the first tab and even make it an icon or something smaller.

Another issue but more me being use to something. Right clicking on a link to bring up the action. New tab is now top, new window is second which I keep using, must have been the opposite set up in the 3.6 Firefox.

Other than that so far, seems fine.

FF4 is still on for March 22 even with RC2 coming tomorrow..

http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.planning/browse_thread/thread/d7cd3c9e9650b1b3#

All,

Two issues popped up (hilariously, almost immediately after Damon sent his email) which have caused us to take two very small, very isolated fixes in order to better protect Firefox 4 users. These fixes will be included in Firefox 4 RC2 for Windows, OSX and Linux (which should be available tomorrow) and Firefox 4 RC1 for Android.

There is no change required to our schedule. We still expect to release the final version of Firefox 4 for Windows, OSX and Linux on March 22nd as planned.

cheers,

mike

It's easy to replace/remove that using stylish.

I've noticed this little annoyance in Fx 4 upto RC1:

I've set 

browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab;false

and enabled taskbar previews.

When I close the last(and only) tab, its title changes from the site title to "New Tab".

In the taskbar preview, it has no label at all, its supposed to be labelled "Mozilla Firefox" but its not.

Does it happen to others or is it just me?

Here's the pic:

      I have disabled it, but the app is still taking space. I have a Mac and it is only possible to disable Ai on that, but I think that bit does get rid of the AI components after a while. What we are told is that we agree to all this when we use the devices as it is in the end user agreements, their software, they can do what they like. I doubt that any bill will happen in the U.S, the government there are in league with big tech firms. The E.U maybe, they seem to have some guts when it comes to tech companies. The U.K is not in the E.U, but some things still affect us. Our government is as gutless when it comes to tech companies as the U.s government.

A major compiler is used for both x86/x64 and WoA64 architectures. This also means that all core libraries are re-compiled accordingly which required some changes in the build scripts. One of the core libraries (cURL) has been updated to address vulnerabilities and a nasty linker error that was causing the need for a dedicated patch which could now be eliminated.
