Why switch to full tab-size notification? When are they going to start using the notification bar-type popups you see in chrome and IE9? These are far less intrusive and better streamlined.

I thought so too seems weird how they wanted this.

this is only for those addons installed by third-party application (es Avast webrep, Nokia synchronization, etc). With this window you can stop the installation (before it was not possible).

Moreover: addons.mozilla.org got redesigned!

I need little favour. Can anyone test this on FF6 or FF7?

  1. 1. Go to Options
  2. 2. First Tab "General"
  3. 3. In section "Addons" click on 'Manage Addons'

Result:

In Nightly, Addon Manager opens in new Window.

Expected:

It should open in New Tab

Once confirmed this annoyance, I will file a bug.

It also opens in new window on FF 7.0a2 (2011-08-13)

confirmed FF8 (Nightly) Win 7 x64

With Firefox 7.0 about to be beta on the 16th, do we have any info about what's going on with the smooth animations for moving tabs? Like the way Chrome does it. Shouldn't this be landing in Aurora 8.0, or are they going to make us wait til 9.0? It seems like they have been working on it forever!! That's one of two features I miss from Chrome. Just give me smooth animations while moving tabs, improved smooth scrolling on all websites like Chrome has when using their extension, and I'll be very happy. Those are the two majors things it is missing. 7.0 is a huge step forward in terms of performance, memory management, etc. Now, it's time to give us some much needed features! Some nice bells and whistles would be appreciated. Like how come there isn't a word wrap feature? Is there an extension for that? I hate having to scroll over so much if I have the page zoomed in to read the text better from far away. Any news on smooth animations, or any cool and useful features coming soon?

Tab detach animation is in FF8 Nightly and will be in Aurora branch 16th August onward.

Tab detach doesn't sound like the same thing I'm talking about. I'm talking about re-ordering tabs with a smooth animation like how Chrome does it very fluidly. Is that the same thing?

Yes, Tab animation landed in FF8, you will get it in Aurora on 16th August:

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=455694

Check Status "Resolved Fixed".

That's great news!! Thanks for letting me know! How come nobody is talking about that in this thread? I thought that was somewhat of a big deal for a lot of people using it.

Not much to be excited about. It's just an animation.

Besides, it's quite buggy for now. Breaks a lot of existing functionality.

I posted about it in past, If not wrong 27th July, you can check comments. Actually it is little buggy and causes many issues. For some users, it cause 100% CPU usage. So people personally does not like it. But I must say, I was desperately waiting for it and finally it is available.

I just installed the newest nightly. I'm loving the new smooth tabs animation, but as someone mentioned it does come with some issues. The only way I could get it to work is by disabling TabMixPlus. Is there a way to get it to work with TMP? Sadly, it also doesn't work with TabGroups Manager. The new animation won't allow me to click and drag a tab into a specific group. For example, I have a group named Sports where I keep my sports articles tabs. Same thing for PC with Neowin. I'm not talking about using Panorama. I'm talking about using the extension TabGroups Manager. Anyway to get it to work properly and still have the smooth animation when I re-order the tabs? Is there a way to turn off that little thumbnail that pops up when you try to detach a tab? Maybe that would fix my issue. If not, I hope Aurora doesn't have these issues when I get smooth animated tabs in the upcoming August 16th beta build. Let me know. Thanks!

mancode, either those addons or firefox will have to have these bugs fixed, you know you are using pre pre beta, right? By the time this gets into beta, I am sure it will be fixed, but unfortunately we are not there yet..What you can do at this time is report the bug to both mozilla and the addon developers and notify them if they are not aware of it already.

Can't wait for the tab animations to get to aurora as well, that was the main reason I even installed it. Performance and other improvements are just a plus for me, I never really had issues with FF.

I know it's alpha software. I'm aware of that. I was just hoping to find a way to fix my issues. Hopefully they'll be fixed when Aurora 7.0 goes Beta on the 16th.

I really doubt that. The code merge is 2 days away and many of the bugs don't even have patches yet. My guess is that they'll be continuing the stabilizing process in Aurora.

I was hoping that maybe my issues are because the version of TabGroups Manager that I'm using was changed to work with only Aurora 7.0 Maybe it will work properly with the beta 7.0, as it currently works fine with Aurora 7.0 now. TabMixPlus works fine with it now, but maybe the smooth animated tabs will break it? I don't know. Nobody has TabMixPlus working properly in the newest nightly? On the 16th when Aurora 7.0 becomes Beta, that means it becomes Firefox 7.0 Beta, right? Then Aurora becomes 8.0 and Nightly becomes 9.0. They really should just do what Chrome does. Firefox 5 and 6, which is soon to be released should be called Release or Final, 7.0 Beta should be Beta, and 8/9 should be called Nightly or Dev, It would make it a little easier to the average user who might want to experiment with these builds.

Tab Mix Plus issue happened in past (when FF7 was Nightly) when Mozilla developers removed nsJSONParser (if remember accurately) and one name change. But nsJSONParser causes many addons to break so Mozilla dev reimplemented it in both FF8 and FF7 (FF7 Nightly period ended but they added it back in aurora stage).

It should now work. Don't know whether it work correctly with Tab animation or not.

---------------------------------Side Note-----------------------------------------------------

Type Interference Javascript Engine and JS Debugger 2 (JSDBG2) landed on Mozilla-central.

Now enjoy little speed boost....

I was waiting for this...

Wishing that all go positive so no backout happen.

    • Final Fantasy VII Remake Part 3 is getting a simultaneous release across PC and all consoles by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Square Enix showed up to the Summer Game Fest presentation today with multiple trailers showing off its next chapter in the Final Fantasy VII Remake saga. The final chapter of this trilogy now has an official name too, with it being dubbed Final Fantasy VII Revelation, following up Final Fantasy VII Remake and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth from recent years. Vincent Valentine, Cid, Cloud, Barret, Tifa, and more showed up in the trailers as they battle against enemies, or 'Weapons,' from the final chapter. "As the world teeters on the brink of annihilation, the final battle against Sephiroth begins," says the trailer description. "A meteor mars the sky, monstrous planetary guardians wreak havoc across the globe, and the fires of war rage. Now, Cloud and his companions must stand against this chaos to not only decide the planet's fate, but bring a legendary conflict to its conclusion." Following the reveal trailer, the show also dropped some gameplay footage that shows off a new way to travel across the open world using the Highwind airship. Players will be able to swap characters on during battles, use tactical mode to synchronize with allies, and summon their entities. Cid Highwind and Vincent Valentine are joining the party this time too. “FINAL FANTASY VII, first released in 1997, has been beloved by fans for many years and has since become a “legend” in its own right," added producer Yoshinori Kitase. "The FINAL FANTASY VII Remake Series that began in 2020 with everyone’s passionate support is finally reaching its climactic finale with FINAL FANTASY VII REVELATION. The story’s final destination represents my emotions spanning thirty years working on this title" One of the biggest revelations of this announcement, however, was the multiplatform release confirmation from the get-go. Square Enix will be releasing Final Fantasy VII Revelation across PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5 in Spring 2027 without any timed exclusivity programs.
    • Hello, Having a simple utility to allow Microsoft's customers to configure the context menu, with a few options like showing the current menu, showing a proposed menu/alternate configurations, loading and saving the settings, and a "reset to default" option would have solved this. Let Microsoft provide a recommended default look-and-feel, maybe a couple alternative configurations, like a basic/simplified version of that, and a more advanced version for that, and that would have been very well-received, I think. Microsoft could even had offered a library of different configurations, similar to what they have done in the past for Windows Media Player skins, Themes, and desktop wallpaper. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • No Steam release. It's gonna fail on PC. Even an Epic Online engineer said that people go there for the free stuff and then immediately go back to Steam.
    • Nice. Admittedly, his other games never interested me, but this seems pretty cool.
    • 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.
