They changed a function and one of your addon is stil using the old one. The messages should not appear with addons disabled

And how do i know which one it is?

Stylish is the cause of the error! Not the scripts but the program.

Personally I like neither. Back when I was using IE9 as main (that lasted 3 days, by the way), I just felt I could just bookmark the website and use it like that in most cases, without the need for a new window. Plus I tend to just navigate away from an app when I no longer need it, and with IE9, it would still display the colorful buttons and the app icon, even though I wasn't using the app anymore. That was annoying.

The "app tabs" also won't do it, since they reset whenever you launch the browser, and if you have many, they will run in the background all the time. The state of those stabs should be saved unless the user specified otherwise.

Web apps, it's a really early thing, everyone is still trying to figure out how to do it.

App Tabs do not reset for me, once they are pinned.

There's been a way to fix the error suggested over at mozillazine but that site is down so I can't provide you the link at the moment.

Not necessarily ... I get the same but I don't have 'Stylish'

Gettings this error message to, 3 times when I open Firefox. Found out that Stylish and Status-4-evar is the cause for two of them.

It seems the latest NoScript might trigger it too ..

[BetaAddict]

I was unaware of that, in Chrome "pinned tabs" just reset whenever you launch the browser. Thanks for letting me know!

You probably do not have the browser startup set to "reopen the pages that were open last time" or you delete you browsing history on exit or with an app like ccleaner, which will erase the tab settings as well.

However, FF4 still seems to have better tab saving settings even after you delete the history, which can be good or bad depending on how you look at it.

I'm having a problem with the latest nightly:

I'm seeing these odd black zones everywhere. has anyone else experienced this?

edit: I already tried using a new profile, but that didn't help so it's probably not an add-on...

Thanks for that link Vasa! .. installing the latest dev version of NoScript fixed the pop-up!

Great! For me, dexter's instructions worked to get Stylish to start up without the error message. I had to edit overlay.js as directed.

it's been fixed in todays nightly, i guess it was a bug

They're really pushing through work, I've had to update 3 times today, and 2 of those times I've actually ended up skipping builds and having to download the full update (33MB on OS X)

My impression that each time there's a "re-spin", we will get the full update which is ~16.3 MB for Win32, IIRC. The incremental one is < 3MB.

I really hope they work on the GUI speed and start up time with Firefox 5. I love Firefox 4, but these two issues have made me move to Chrome. Fix these 2 issues and I will once again be a happy Firefox user. :)

[Kreuger]

Meet Firefox 5.0 (4.2a1pre.OMG.WTF.BBQ?!)

Seriously? This is just dumb.

Here too :)

I started using the Nightly builds again and they seem to be faster than Firefox 4.0

[Argi]

At least 3 of us at work yesterday were getting that black screen with Firefox 4 - quite bizarre. I suspect it has something to do with GPU rendering.
