should be coming soon, there are a list of things that need to be done for it to be more native.

1. Page bounce when scrolling

2. Lion scrollbars

3. page forward and back animation

These are just a few above the surface elements as there are things that still need to be done below to increase performance on OS X.

Thanks for letting me know. :) Hopefully these are all added in near future.

Oh my nativeness! That looks great! Is it a good alternative to Speed Dial?

To me its okay... The thumbnails do not look THAT good plus i think they should be larger. But anyways a nice feature which DOES have a turn off button :)

Google chrome copy/pasted? :(

Speed dial is like bookmark, where the new tab page is more like history/most visited.

What the heck!! You can not call it Google Chrome copy paste , idea of thumbnails is from Opera while showing history pages is by Safari. Chrome did not innovate this idea :/

Sorry, I should have said "everybody will think that it's been copy/pasted from Google Chrome", I typed my post too quickly!

Let them think... Safari copied Opera , Chrome copied both , we copy all three whatever

PS : It got backed out again :'(

Again, most of the times is not copypasta, just progress. You wouldn't say that chrome copied the addon thing from Firefox, even though firefox had them before chrome.

Good ideas should not be avoided just because someone else did them first.

That's not what've said.

But I prefer innovation instead of copy/pasting.

What's the diff between Firefox/Chrome on this feature? I don't see any, really.

None. And i really can't see where the problem is. I don't find it a shame to implement good features from other browsers.

Well of course. But innovation and making use of good ideas are not mutually exclusive.

It's perfectly sensible for software to take cues from others for good ideas and implementations. You can still innovate at the same time. Browsers currently seem to be in a pretty good place with all that - good ideas are being shared, while all are pushing the boundaries elsewhere.

Yep having this same bug as well for the last couple of days. Took some trial and error to figure out which one was causing it. Frustrating too because the awesome bar suggestions look so huge now with the addon disabled.

Tried re-enabling the omnibar add-on with the latest nightly build and it's working properly now. So happy to have it back.

Ok.How about this.Someone invented the roof of a house looong before you were even born.So why do you copy/paste it and use a roof for your house???Just innovate something else.

I don't get you guys.Who cares who invented something first???The only thing i care is that i have that nice feature in my favorite browser and that it works ok.I don't give a duck who tought of it first.And like ppl said you can't just ditch good ideas and features just because someone tought of them first.Nothing in this world is purely innovative.Most of the things use something from other things,so your theory of making something purely innovative is flawed.

Completely forgot about it for the past couple of days. But yeah, this addon is just that awesome.

New Tab Page in fx branch again for testing , lets hope it will make it to Firefox 12

they really need to do something more with it though, it's way too plain and featureless in its current form

That's really what they want though, something unobtrusive and out of the way. The original goal included RSS feeds, Google search box, etc. but they decided that was too much clutter and drew the user away from just going to the site they wanted.

A wise decision.

They have already innovated ideas and made mockups for the implementation ,its just that devs are too busy ...

See, thoses are nice and innovating mockups.

You says that devs are too busy copy/pasting Chrome? Come on ...

sarcastic?

Anyways , if you do not know what the devs are busy with , please don't assume anything just like that please... They have this IonMonkey base ready and up on arewefastyet , incrementalGC in progress , Profile clean up , and VARIOUS snappy and memshrink projects worked on and landing to nightly... What i have told is just about performance , rest UI related stuff is also fixed now and then (inline autocomplete , new tab page , download manager)

New Tab Page is landing again for tomorrow's nightly , lets see...

    • If its the devs fault you would think Unreal would help M$ take full advantage of Unreal and work with them to fix the performance issues. Otherwise they are catching unwarranted bad press.
    • Thanks for the advice guys, I'll give my current GPU a clean and then run the benchmarks to see how similar it is. Hopefully a bit of a clean-out will help it last a bit longer.
    • Pretty sure those will still be in this game. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
