No. You can use the Readability extension instead.

Another day, another ABP development build. This one seems to have fixed the redirection problem.

After installing beta 4, whenever I open external links, I get this message:

Object Moved

This document may be found here

When I click the word "here", the link opens fine. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

Update AdBlock.

You have adblock plus installed?

If so, get the latest dev build:

https://adblockplus.org/devbuilds/adblockplus/

If not, describe the problem further, and list any other installed extensions.

Thanks, updating adblockplus seemed to fixed the problem. But what in Adblock plus caused the problem in the first place?

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

The way HTTP redirects were handled was changed in Firefox, extensions overriding the HTTP layer (NoScript/AdBlock Plus to name two) completely broke it after that happened.

NoScript got fixed within a few hours, AdBlock Plus after about a week and a half.

I'm not seeing any ugly in that picture.

DirectWrite does have some bugs, but they're mainly with light text on a dark background.

But it's blurryer than the normal (I think it's microsoft cleartype when directwrite is off). So it's clearer, sharper and better without directwrite. Lot of letters (for example "l") is sometimes a 2 pixel blurry line, ...

But without directwrite, thins like this: http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/Performance/PsychedelicBrowsing/Default.html must use te CPU and has less score :/

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

Oh, yeah that's on purpose (The old rendering was a limitation of the design, it wasn't on purpose).

And DirectWrite and Direct2D are two different things, you can have Direct2D and normal GDI rendering but it'd be the slowest option avaliable.

[skyli]

But I still don't like the text so I disabled it :)

[Brandon H Supervisor]

nightly just updated to 4.0b5pre

directwrite is turned on by default again, still causes issues for me with flash items, how do you turn it off?

[arrrgh]

Also remember that with D2D and DW on, your video card's settings also affect the browser. For example, on AMD cards Anisotropic Filtering gives you fairly blurry text (ok, blurrier).

Top one is with AF on, bottom one with AF&AA off.

[Brandon H Supervisor]

that blurry text just hurts my eyes, i prefer the clearer text

Update to the latest Firefox b5pre. Go to gmail and click Settings. Firefox crashes.

[HawkMan]

So again, how do you stop FF4 Beta/nightly from havign ****ty scrollable tabs, since tabMinWidth is doing **** all.

[The_Decryptor Veteran]

tabMinWidth has been removed, so it won't do anything.
