Firefox 4 Beta 1 released!


Recommended Posts

Using the "Add-on Compatibility Reporter" add-on it, seems these add-on's work fine

@jamwheat you're doing it wrong

I read a reply off thehotfix.net that it could be from using the same profile. Oh well, it could be from the skin I was using also. I'll play with it some more.

A great realease from mozilla good for them, but it could use a faster start up = better scripting, but then again the cache kicks in and its all fast once you use it frequently like I do it takes 2 sec tops

Looks like the theme/some extension isn't compatible with the Firefox version.

Yeah, it was. I assumed that since it disables extensions it would disable the themes as well.

Looking good but I think I'll wait for beta 2 before trying it out.

Jump in now. It's stable, handles silly amounts of tabs better than 3.6.6, and most of my add-ons work.

How do I enable the Firefox button? Mine is just displaying the normal menubar.. was running firefox 3.6 prior to this so that's probably why.

Win 7 home premium 64bit / firefox 4 beta 1.

Has anyone been able to get roboform to work with it?

roboform has to update its addon/plugin to match the new exe before it works

Every time theres a new ver of firefox i always had to hold off a couple of days for roboform to catch up

This might have been answered but I can't wade through 8 pages of replies!

Can I install this alongside 3.6? I don't want to uninstall 3.6 in case I face any incompatibilities with addons/websites...

It's a great browser but the 3 things that I don't like about it are:

-Right clicking to open a page in a new tab it has "Open in new window" above it.

-Tabs create seperate processes in your taskbar

-Message boxes don't light up like in Chrome, Opera or Safari. Which would be nice if they did.

Yes I have submitted each of these in the feedback.

It is much faster now though! :p

I've got both installed right now. Obviously they use different install directories but I think they use a common folder / location for the addons etc. I'm sure there's probably a way around that though.

You can run Firefox with -profilemanager and specify the folder for it, upon the creation of a new profile just for the beta.

This beta also has relatively well working implementation of WebGL.

Pull up about:config, change webgl.enabled_for_all_sites to true and restart Firefox.

Actually that's how I want it to work anyways. Cheers!
