Meet Firefox 4.0.1

[Skittelor]

Below, I've tried to simulate the mockup as closely as possible using only Stylish hacks from various people, but no extensions. The mockup is loaded in a tab for reference:

These seem like somewhat basic changes, but they are taking an awfully long time to get into the UI.

I'm not saying I can do it, but I'm sure a dedicated CSS artist could make it look very close to the mockup using the current Gecko engine. Just make it look as close as possible, and if something is committed that messes up the layout, at least there is a layout and probably just a minor margin adjustment.

The question is, why hasn't this happened yet? Shouldn't there be just one bug filed on it called "Get SoapyHamHocks to make beta 4 look like the mockup" :p

That's really nice, closest I've seen yet. Could you please PM me the stylish scripts you're using?

No new update for 9/17 for 4.0b pre7 x64 ?

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/tinderbox-builds/mozilla-central-win64/

Was 9/16 a one-shot deal I wonder?

[Darrian]

No, there were many builds before yesterday as well. They just don't compile it nearly as frequently. Some days they'll post 2 or 3 builds and some days none. Maybe tonight or tomorrow there'll be an updated build to mess around with.

Glad to hear that, as it keeps crashing on me.

New nightly doesn't follow redirects.

Is there anything wrong with the build 4.0b7pre 17-09-2010?

- In gmail once you click BUZZ you cannot go back to INBOX. Pressing INBOX several times you are still stuck in the BUZZ page.

- Loading of pages are really slow as compared to the previous build(s).

I did a clear of complete cache (everything), even rebooted the system but the browsing still seems very slow. Anybody else facing similar slow browsing?

Win7 (64bit), FF (32bit) and just adblockplus (with custom filter)

I noticed that, also some issues with Google Calendar & editing events. Temporary problems I'm sure.

I recall reading about some issues with Google Mail JS/caching issues while browsing Fx stuff yesterday - I believe it's reported and being looked into.

I believe this is an issue with a version of NoScript - http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=9905879#p9905879

Is there anyway to show the firefox orange button, in Beta 5 running on Windows XP ?

Thanks for confirming :)

Is there a way to add back the page loading status at the tab? like it was before.

Try hiding the menu bar

Just following the following bug report:

and it appears we're getting closer to universal binaries on Mac OS X.

Latest nightlies are slow as hell in my work laptop. It has a shared Intel graphics card, so no D2D or accelerated layers can be enabled. Scrooling is a pain, worse than Firefox 3.6.

In the other hand IE9 just flies in here. Mozilla is really disppointing me :(

Why have they stopped uploading 64 bit minefield builds? there hasn't been one since the 16th.

A nightly is not an official beta release (and can be broken or broke your profile) and only a tool for firefox dev. So maybe you should compare only what is comparable: IE9 (which is a beta) with firefox 4.0b6 ;)

And of course you have every rights to say that IE9 is better than firefox 4.0b6 if that you think...

I get that problem too? You mean where the Aero areas turn completely transparent/non-interactive and the window buttons disappear?

[Pickaxe]

Is it possible to close tabs in Panorama by middle-clicking them? This would make Panorama much more useful to me.

I got that too, It's very annoying.
