it is rather annoying that it does not tell you which version of 5.0 you have (which beta), i have been using the beta channel since 4.0 was released and it just auto updates all the time. Not sure which version I am on (b7 or RC)

If it is latest then beta7, there is no RC on ftp or servers, but You are right, they should add info about beta/rc versions as well!

The idea of the beta is that it should replicate the live version of Firefox as closely as possible - i.e. it shouldn't report itself as being a beta.

However, yeah, it's a little confusing. I think they do have some plans to help in that area, but I don't recall specifics.

Their site is getting hammered right now. Will have to check it out later. Funny because I just switched from FF4 to FF5 beta 7 last night, then see this. I was quite shocked though to go into the nightly though and see Alpha 7. I really hate to say this, but I feel like they are getting too weird with their releases. Used to be a new version every year or less or so and now, they are working on three versions at the same time. Very confusing to me. :wacko: Sort of to the point of "Should I just go to Version 6 and wait for 7, or go to 5 and wait for 7, or maybe it is 6?"

To extend bogas04's description - it's not that dissimilar to Chrome: there's a nightly channel [7], an Aurora channel [6], a beta channel [5] and a live release [4]. Every six weeks, they move along a step.

I'm on Aurora, where they stabilize the nightly by fixing any major issues and disable unfinished stuff. Beta is essentially an extended release candidate stage.

From now on , No new "Meet Firefox XYZ" threads would be created , the discussion would continue at Meet Firefox Next for all builds/aurora etc , and the Final version thread would go to back page news, like this one .

Please continue further discussion about Firefox development at Meet Firefox Next thread

And you became a Moderator when? :rolleyes:

I ain't okay , but this is what was decided back when ff4 was released , otherwise neowin would be full of Meet firefox 6 ,7 ,8 etc threads. Plus the backpage news threads... To avoid such clutter and keep the discussion intact to one center , we decided not to create separate threads. After all firefox matters , not the version numbers (considering the new release methodology)

it's still not officially out. Not on firefox.com or through checking updates. Wait till Tuesday the 21st everyone. This might not be the final build if a problem crops up.

its in releases ftp server , most probably the final version , they are just doing final checkups etc

Hi guys. Haven't been here for a some time. I haven't followed the evolution of Firefox 5 (got bored after following the very long one of 4 :) ).

I've just installed FF5 and noticed that my code witch made tabs slimmer isn't working any more. Any idea how to fix this ? Here's the code:

.tabbrowser-tab, .tabs-newtab-button {
   -moz-border-image: url("chrome://browser/skin/tabbrowser/tab.png") 4 3 2 3 / 4px 3px 2px 3px repeat stretch !important;
}

Thanks!

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • 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.
