This is a great idea. Why have three separate threads? Mozilla is confusing me enough. :whistle:

Lol why blame mozilla? Its by me and erm i am the one who should be blamed? :s

If you create a thread for each thing like that won't it start spreading the discussion a little thin?

if we go by

Firefox (Nightly & Aurora together) and Firefox (Stable) threads , then Nightly & Aurora will involve discussions about latest landings , etc , while Stable will deal with problems , how tos , addons etc etc in just FINAL builds.

What say??

Firefox (Nightly & Aurora) and Firefox (Stable) Threads

(about pre-release builds) and (about final builds)

No, I think it's a fine to have a separate thread for the release version. That way, users of the stable version will not be confused and can easily post their queries there. The pre-release versions though (5,6 or whatever) should only have one thread since with the rapid updates (those are pre-releases), "web browser discussion" might turn into just "firefox discussion". On the pre-releases thread, maybe try and advise users to post whichever channel/version their using :)

Edit: oops, you beat me to it

so what is the final conclusion?

To make Meet Firefox X.0 as X.0 releases , while have one thread which involves just Firefox Pre-Release Discussion ?

MODS please you are needed here :s

(btw right now its so irritating to check two threads at same time :|)

If we have a thread for the Nightly and Aurora build channels, and maybe a discussion thread created when the final release gets pushed out. That would probably be fine. It's how Opera's threads are managed.

What I mean is as soon as a final version is released, a thread is created.

So :

Create Meet Firefox X.0 when X.0 releases

and have Firefox (Nightly and Aurora) as primary discussion thread for PRE RELEASES of firefox

is it fine?

with that said , we gotta leave this thread for just firefox 5.0 and rename firefox 6.0 thread as just firefox (nightly and aurora) having all firefox nightly and aurora discussions , is it alright ?

We could just get the 5.0 and 6.0 threads merged, the title of the merged thread renamed, and have any major release thread posted. So when say, Firefox 4.2 releases, post the thread 'Firefox 4.2 Out Now' or something like that.

okay!

i think its very safe option , MODS please merge Meet Firefox 6.0 into this thread , rest can be handled by us

Screenshot of Aurora:

I quite like the artwork.

Thats so awesome!! :D

Will that update normally (I mean it's not 'overwrite another version to update')?

Also, this is the only thing I need, right? --> "firefox-5.0a2.en-US.win32.installer.exe"

I do not have any experience on using ftp builds so enlighten me :)

it will update to aurora builds as soon as they are out , you can change your channel to beta or release to get latest beta (none ATM) or to latest release (ff4)

I wish they would've kept the build dates on the About dialog. I know you can find out elsewhere, but it was convenient.

It won't overwrite your FF4.0 or Nightly installation if that's what you mean. And yes, that installer is all you need.

okay!

i think its very safe option , MODS please merge Meet Firefox 6.0 into this thread , rest can be handled by us

erm , since firefox 5.0 is gonna be out soon , so lets forget this merging thing for time being , i am renaming Firefox 6.0 thread to Meet Firefox Next and it will be used for all pre release version discussion, use this thread for only firefox 5.0 discussion , when firefox 6.0 will be released , new thread for 6.0 will be created , and Meet Firefox Next will remain unaffected. Now please dont change this plan , m so tired of changing plans and doing nothing to be exact :s

Finally : This thread will be used for firefox 5.0 discussion only , use Meet Firefox Next for nightly etc discussion

But can I use it side by side with the stable version (similar with how minefiled used to be)?

you gotta make separate profiles and install in different directories

I'm not sure if it reflects anything, but the newest version of the Firefox Nightlies is 6.0a1. Mozilla must really be preparing for a very aggressive new release system; here's hoping they can do it. I know I'd love Firefox to maintain its current position in the world of web browsers.

I previously used this code to shrink the height of tabs in Fx4:

.tabbrowser-tab, .tabs-newtab-button {
 -moz-border-image: url("chrome://browser/skin/tabbrowser/tab.png") 5 3 3 3 / 5px 3px 3px 3px repeat stretch !important;
}

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work too great in Fx5. Would appreciate some help with it, thanks.

But can I use it side by side with the stable version (similar with how minefiled used to be)?

Im using portableapps versions labeled as nightly, but now i dont know which one it is lol... But anyway, i think its much better solution than downloading installers or zip packages from bottomless Mozilla servers. Such a pity that you cant run it simultaneously without editing environment variables.

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
