They're letting Aurora and Beta "stabilise" for a few days before builds start appearing.

Nightly is now at 8.0a1.

I really impressed by new JS optimizations. Really looking forward for TI to land and PGO get back and it will be sky rocket faster.

Also TI landed in TM branch.

The bar at the top of firefox no longer is glass,

? It isn't?

[torrentthief]

well for me it isn't, i have my tabs moved onto the top bar, they are opaque but the outside of the firefox button and where the max/min/close button is glass. Now i can read my tabs easier.

I seem to be getting some random crashes here on Neowin on today's update. Anyone else experiencing it?

Anyone else have a problem with youtube videos and Nightly?

I just get a black square/rectangle, the video and the video playback controls don't appear.

[+Gary7 Subscriber²]

The latest nightly has really messed up tabs.

[kilara1988]

No problems with nightly and you tube here.Maybe try reinstall your flash plug-in?

Some delicious stuff is cooking in the UX branch

(style script used)

[torrentthief]

can you take a screenshot of it? i don't quite understand what you're saying

i moved the tabs to the top, neither the tabs are glass nor are is the bookmark bar which is far better as its too hard to read with glass as my win7 background is black so i have grey background on the tabs and black text

Anyone else have a problem with youtube videos and Nightly?

I just get a black square/rectangle, the video and the video playback controls don't appear.

i had that problem today on one video with firefox 6 beta 1 build 1. i tried other videos and they worked fine, maybe is was a problem on youtube's servers.

Same here. Using latest flash, tried deleting Flash Cookies and Browser cookies as well but no use. Any solution guys???

I use the "firefox 4 choose your color" stylish script to achieve this:

and I like it... it would be nice to have that built into FF natively... like how W7's color chooser works.

To me it seems the normal look of FF

Is this an image of Today's Nightly build?

[remixedcat]

no it's FF5... I'll try out the nightly tonight though.... got some addon patching to test...

that was a demo on what feature I wanted built into FF....

that helps with visibility...

Thanks, it messes up tabs.

[remixedcat]

nightly installed.....

I got the stylish thing to work without the nightly tester tools by editing the install.rdf... now it oughtta work up to FF9 and it works no problems

same with all addons besides realplayer downloader.

rest working just fine with patch!

I do not like the wide Tabs.

[remixedcat]

I'll open more tabs and see how it works.
