picked up the UX build of Fx and they got rid of the borders around the buttons like chrome... for personas it works better, however default looks (no stratiform or stylish) looks a bit naked LOL.... hope they improve the icons.

adding stratiform fixes a lot of it.

I completely got it to look like chrome with the help of a 3rd party theme+stratiform.... had it on there for 10 seconds.... immediately disabled becuase it creeped me out so much!!!!!!!! aaahhhh!!!!

What is the difference between the UX Build and Firefox Beta, Aurora, and Nightly ? Is it worth using ?

The UX build is the test bed for user interface changes, using the Nightly builds as codebase. Is it worth using? If you want to be among the first to see UI changes in Firefox then yes.

Thanks very helpful and makes perfect sense! Good to know. This place is awesome with keeping up with all the latest browser news! Feel like I missed out for so many years. The best part it is the most global community ever! At least from what I seen. That is what I like a lot about it.

Tab animation is landing in Mozilla Central in Today's build so highly chances are that it will be in Mozilla Firefox 8 (unless they not backout it). Latest patch is 19 for Tab animation, check with latest UX build. I am waiting for its arrival on Mozilla Central aka Nightly channel. Mozilla Rocks!!!

Did someone know how to disable this new tab animation and return into old style ?

Will have to wait a bit for the new animation to get into the Aurora build, unless I haven't noticed it already. Go to about:config and try changing the following setting.

browser.tabs.animate >>> set to false

If tab animation 'sticks' in Nightly, it'll be in Aurora in three weeks (when the next merge occurs).

Zlip792, if you don't want to get dizzy, I suggest don't follow the ups and downs quite so very closely :) That's part of why I stick to Aurora - not just because it's more stable in a general sense, but also more stable in terms of feature changes. I just know if I go to Nightly, I'll start reading the changelogs even more closely, and I do it too much already.

You and I are both think the same :laugh:

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.

      I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
