Meet Firefox 4.0.1

Wait for them to fix Direct2D rendering.

That, along with bug fixes to the next rendering code, should perfect it.

D2D should help, but not by that much.

Direct3D/OpenGL backed layers will have the greatest benefit (along with the tile cache or whatever caching method they use)

I think they are copying Google Chrome and Safari's. But Mozilla will be good because it starts faster than safari but slower than chrome.

I suggest that they should improve startup.

one weird thing i've noticed

if you try to go to some sites like live.com it will take you to the mobile version, is there a way to fix this?

Its coz of UA

go to about:config

Set

general.useragent.extra.firefox

as Firefox/3.6.6 or Firefox/3.6.7 etc

thanks though

yeah that too would fix the problem , but the thing is some sites don't treat Firefox 4.0 as a browser , so that's why... I myself use Firefox/3.9 :p (Orkut doesn't support 4.0)

And in any case , if it causes problem , then you can revert back OR set it as a stable version's label, its just Firefox's Hidden Compatibility mode

One big issue with the beta: In W7, if I have a dark or black background - the title of any inactive tabs becomes unreadable. No idea how they would work around that, but its annoying enough to stop me using the beta :(

Made inactive tabs readable, note hover behavior too.

/* Change color of inactive tabs */

tab:not([selected=true]) {

color: #ffffff !important;

}

Can someone help me make the home button the same color as the active tab?

Here's what I have now -moz-dialog doesn't work (tried that).

@namespace url(http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul);

#TabsToolbar > #home-button {

-moz-appearance: none !important;

Here's what I have now -moz-dialog doesn't work (tried that).

the original tabs' background is:

background-image:-moz-radial-gradient(center top , white, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0) 60%), -moz-linear-gradient(left center , transparent, transparent 1px, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5) 1px, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.5)), -moz-linear-gradient(left center , transparent, transparent 1px, #E3EDF6 1px, #E3EDF6);

The home button doesn't "stick" after restarting Firefox :/

I've been tweaking my menu button some more. I figured I may as well share since I'm bored. Pictures are represented as normal/mouseover.

Red

#appmenu-button-container{
margin: 0px 0px 4px 4px !important;
}

#appmenu-button{
padding: 2px 10px 2px 7px !important;
}

#appmenu-button dropmarker:before {
padding-right: 5px !important;
}

#appmenu-button{
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, rgba(251,89,65,1), rgba(189,40,25,1), rgba(157,6,0 ,1)) !important;
-moz-border-radius: 0px 0px 4px 4px !important;
border-top: 0px !important;
margin-top: 0px !important;
}

#appmenu-button:hover{
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, rgba(251,89,65,1), rgba(251,55,65,1)) !important;
}

Blue

#appmenu-button-container{
margin: 0px 0px 4px 4px !important;
}

#appmenu-button{
padding: 2px 10px 2px 7px !important;

#appmenu-button{

-moz-border-radius: 0px 0px 4px 4px !important;
border-top: 0px !important;
margin-top: 0px !important;
}

#appmenu-button:hover{
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, rgba(78,147,229,1), rgba(0,78,213,1)) !important;
}

Green

#appmenu-button-container{
margin: 0px 0px 4px 4px !important;
}

#appmenu-button{
padding: 2px 10px 2px 7px !important;
}

#appmenu-button dropmarker:before {

}

#appmenu-button{
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, rgba(112,178,66,1), rgba(0,147,14,1), rgba(77,154,6,1)) !important;
-moz-border-radius: 0px 0px 4px 4px !important;
border-top: 0px !important;
margin-top: 0px !important;
}

#appmenu-button:hover{
background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, rgba(112,178,66,1), rgba(82,178,14,1)) !important;
}

If you use these and they don't look the same as my screenshots it may be because I'm using the latest hourly build.

[Steven P. Administrators]

Thanks, I updated the Blue button stylish script to your new one. (Y)

[Darrian]

Awesome. I'm honored :D

[Steven P. Administrators]

What do you think of this, I modified the Aqua Toolbar script I had (for ages, Vista theme) to your blue button colors, only thing I'm having trouble with is getting the home button to stick, after a restart.. Maybe one of the scripts is conflicting (Tabs in titlebar?)

[Darrian]

Ooh. Pretty. Right now app tabs in general still don't stick, so that might be part of it. I'm having an issue that just started (for me) today where if I app tab a page and close all the other open tabs it removes the tab bar completely and mushes my app tab together with my navigation toolbar. Ugh.

You could test your tabs in titlebar hypothesis by disabling the script and seeing if the issue persists. I'm betting it will.

[Steven P. Administrators]

Yeah I'm using Firefox Beta 1, so there isn't even an option to turn a tab into an app tab, thanks for clarifying the issue tho :)

[Darrian]

I didn't realize beta 1 didn't have that. I just tested your home button script and it's "sticking" for me, so when beta 2 comes out you should be good to go. Potentially it could be out in 4 days, but we all know how much Mozilla loves deadlines (and the whooshing sound they make as they go racing past).

[Steven P. Administrators]

Cool, I was using the Minefield nightlies, but I got fed up with stuff/extensions getting disabled or breaking with each random update lol.

Thank god for MozBackup, I was able to transfer everything from my laptop and upgrade to FF 4 B1 :D

[SkyDX]

Say guys is there a DownloadStatusBar version that works after that new XCOM stuff?

[Darrian]

To anybody who downloaded the buttons I posted this morning, I found that tweaking the top margin slightly looks better (IMO). It won't let me edit the post now so the change is very minor and I'll post it here:

#appmenu-button{

background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, rgba(58,127,197,1), rgba(47,119,189,1), rgba(0,58,229,1)) !important;

-moz-border-radius: 0px 0px 4px 4px !important;

border-top: 0px !important;

margin-top: 0px !important;

}

Might look better if changed to:

#appmenu-button{

background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, rgba(58,127,197,1), rgba(47,119,189,1), rgba(0,58,229,1)) !important;

-moz-border-radius: 0px 0px 4px 4px !important;

border-top: 0px !important;

margin-top: -1px !important;

}

Sorry if I missed it in an earlier post, but what is the stylish coded needed in order to move the home button like it is in the FF4 mockups?
