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!

try

 .tabbrowser-tab, .tabs-newtab-button {
  padding: 0px 2px 2px 2px !important;
 }

adjusting the first and the third pixel value!

    • It's time to say goodbye to Edge and switch back to Firefox. There's no way to disable the ugly rounded corners that appear everywhere. Not even on the page frame. No one uses screens with rounded corners, you idiots.
    • Being on Github makes it more trustable since I can see the code at any point.
    • Gen Atlas is the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator, this time with giant robots by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The mind behind widely well-received games like Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and The Last Guardian, Fumito Ueda, showed up at Summer Game Fest today, and that was to reveal his latest project. Being developed by genDESIGN, Gen Atlas is incoming with what looks to be plenty of mech and robot action. Watch the reveal trailer, which makes not much sense, above. The game will have players waking up on an abandoned planet where deserted facilities and grand designs from the original creators remain. Soon, they will stumble upon a colossal robot, from which players gain access to the power to change the world. "Across an endless expanse of time, the remnants of those forgotten constructs begin to move once more," adds the studio. The gameplay snippets seen in the trailer show the player character climbing giant robots (as expected from the creator), while also controlling these titans somehow as well. This is a fully single-player open-world adventure. “The team and I are grateful to all the fans who’ve been eager to learn more about our game,” says Fumito Ueda, CEO and creative director of genDESIGN. “Their passion and enthusiasm has always motivated and inspired us. We hope to share an experience that inspires moments of quiet wonder and discovery.” Before gaining the name Gen Atlas, Ueda first announced this project back in 2024 with the codename Project Robot. Interestingly, this will be a project being funded and published by Epic Games, which should mean that a Steam release is out of the question. Gen Atlas will be releasing on Epic Games Store, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced just yet.
    • How backwards can you have it? Yes, Linux was gaining because of Linux handhelds and the push for gaming compatibility, but that's not desktop users, it barely converts anyone who owns a SteamDeck, though it helps for those who wanted to do it, but anyways, the AI+RAM debacle helped Linux because people can't easily upgrade their PCs easily and many hate AI so they'd be incentivized to try Linux.
