FF were the first to have tabs, tabs on the top is an option it can be changed if anyone watch the dev video, but I have been using Firefox since 3 and have been impressed and happy since, Google just wants a piece of the pie. I love Google as a homepage but the browser just does not cut it for me. But IE started it all, with the key to the internet and now its in the dust. But it will regain its thrown with IE9. :shifty:

Really, what kind of bugs are you experiencing?

I'm developing themes for it and using it as my main browser and it seems to be working fine here.

Most annoying one is having to double click into the reply post message box, 1st click looks like the cursor is waiting for typing, but halfway through the sentence you realise it is not typing and it requires another click (happens on laptop and desktop)

Freezing - I get tabs non responsive, and when I try to shut down FF it freezes and I need to click the dropdown box and choose exit, or use task manager

Aero - suddenly turns black / grey / basic and is no longer transparent

All of those issues here, the replying issue is the most annoying one though, happens to me every time!

Yeah at small font sizes it simply looks worse than what we currently have. It does look better with large font sizes though.

I don't like DirectWrite at all in Firefox.

I've grown used to it in Steam, but in Firefox it looks as though some letter are blurry, some are crisp, and some are in-between.

Yea, it does look nice at a decent size, but it's just so crumbly and horrid in small sizes. Perhaps MS will improve this. I generally much prefer the OS X font render.

Yea very annoying, Im downloading the latest nightly build, see if anything has been fixed yet

you sure about that Phenom? Still does it here, did you restart minefield twice before trying? I think Direct write doesn't start working until second restart right now.

Anyone managed to disable the addon compatibility check on the latest nightly build yet ?

I installed the beta but i still get the old theme.... Can someone tell me why?post-54931-12786389708561.jpg

Hide menu bar :)

How can you get stylish on the latest minefield 4.0b2 build? I got the Dev build updated today... It installed and shows the icon. But I can't use any of the menu options to add styles or anything.

Don't really care as much about interface, but I do care about,

1. Retained Layers

2. Fixing newly introduced and old D2D Issues

3. moz fv method+tracing JIT

still uses way to much ram for a browser, i mean 100meg to display pretty much nothing wtf?

You should be expecting crashes, memory leaks, high memory usage, rendering errors and GUI bugs.

have u ever run chrome 5?Opera 10.5+? Probably no

3. moz fv method+tracing JIT <- Me too :D

True , but GUI matters too , one would like a Lamborghini than f1

still uses way to much ram for a browser, i mean 100meg to display pretty much nothing wtf?

I don't know what system you have but if you have a newer system why care about 100mb? oO

I only run at 3GB because I cba to do everything anew for 64bit Win7 but my Firefox runs all the time with 600mb since I have around 30-40 tabs always open and I can still play games very fine.... :whistle:

AOM History and Future

Nice article ,,, also see how they are aiming to make AOM look like in FF4

blog_post_list_view.png

Don't ask me where are caption buttons and "new tab button"

Hopefully there will be a slim list option hidden somewhere in the menu there. Scrolling through a list of anything more than 10 add-ons in a list that size would be difficult and annoying...

    • I don't understand the vision. Do people really want to buy a new computer from Dell with 6 browsers installed? We all keep asking for Microsoft to stop having so much junk on their OS, and adding a bunch of browsers seems to go against that. Ideally, we would just be asked what browser we want during OOBE but Google is just going to pay Dell a bunch of money to include Chrome. Additionally, would you want your phones to start including all the browsers too when you get them? The only thing I ever wanted was to be able to uninstall IE or edge and I believe you are now able to. I do agree that microsoft needs to chill with their "are you sure you don't want to try edge before you install chrome" ads when going to download chrome.
    • The funny thing here is that like 70% or so of the web browser users use 'Google Chrome' as web browser. What I don't understand is that why on earth would ANYONE choose 'Google Chrome' on Windows when 'Microsoft Edge' is not just better in most things, but it's already there right out of the box for the Windows users. Microsoft Edge has less data collection (yes, that's a fact), less RAM usage and is more optimized for Windows (as it's a Microsoft product) right out of the box. I'm sure you will come with the argument of bloat in Microsoft Edge. Sure, but most of that can be fixed with a simple tool (there are many good ones out there for this). Yes, that require a couple of clicks in the same way as it requires several clicks to install 'Google Chrome'. And I'm sure you really love the 4 GB of AI-slop data 'Google Chrome' is downloading for Chrome without you agreeing to it. Fun right? Sure, the way Microsoft is pushing 'Microsoft Edge' on users might not be the best way of doing it and might need to change. But I would never choose 'Google Chrome' over 'Microsoft Edge' today anyways. I'm sure there was a period back in the days when 'Google Chrome' actually was better in most things, but that period is not today.
    • JetBrains rolls out IntelliJ IDEA update with Markdown preview fixes and more by David Uzondu Image via JetBrains IntelliJ 2026.1.3 from JetBrains has landed, bringing several highly requested bug fixes that target common UI glitches and terminal rendering issues. If you run tmux inside the integrated terminal, the IDE no longer renders the cursor above the active line. The Markdown preview bug, which was fixed in this release, had annoyed developers for quite some time, as the preview pane failed to render images saved outside the project directory. Instead of displaying the actual image, the IDE simply showed a broken image icon, a problem that stuck around for two years before this update. Over on Windows, developers running WSL can now use wsl.exe to spin up their environments without losing terminal functionality. In previous builds, launching a terminal shell with something like wsl.exe -d ubuntu inside a Windows-based project broke both shell integration and active process detection. Other bug fixes in this release include: An issue where Gradle sync incorrectly reported success as a failure on WSL when using Gradle 9.5.0. A syntax highlighting bug that flagged valid Java for-loop initialization blocks with multiple statements as incorrect. A warning bug that triggered a false non-null local variable alert when using JSpecify annotations. A database generation bug that hid the option to use a DELETE statement instead of a TRUNCATE checkbox. A Kotlin highlighting failure where an assertion error in the Gradle redundant library inspection broke error highlighting. A UI bug where the ComboBox popup lacked a maximum height restriction. A Snowflake syntax error where DataGrip failed to support the "create temp" command. A Svelte syntax parsing failure that incorrectly flagged quotes inside inline expressions. A VCS repository manager deadlock that triggered thread pool exhaustion. A memory leak where the LazyTree component kept all previous versions of a tree in memory. IntelliJ 2026.1.3 is the third bug fix release for the IntelliJ 2026.1 series. The first one landed back in April with a fix for the WSL Python interpreter freeze, another fix for guest participants using Emmet abbreviations, and corrected WildFly server deployment errors.
