True that. But you can not deny the mockups make firefox a look-alike of chrome

The only thing you can say is that chrome had that shape first, but it wasn't invented by google... anyway i don't like it,luckily if we want we can get rid of them with some userstyle :)

Something wrong with Flash and the latest Nightly here .. keep getting this message ..

For your safety, Firefox has disabled your outdated version of Flash. Please upgrade to the latest version.

Uninstalled , updated and double-checked ..

Ah .. it's the latest AdBlock + I think!!

Any idea when the download manager and/or speed dial will hit nightly? Can't believe it's taking so long. Do Mozilla have one person working on their graphics or something?

They think using those curvy tabs, make it look prettier? :laugh: Maybe it may look better if they had tabs for inactive borders as well, but it looks unorganized IMO without having a tab for unactive tabs as well. Instead they just have the favicon with just text. It looks awful on Windows.

Thanks for the info btw.

New Tab Page is already in Nightly and I think it is now deault to compatible now. As far as Download Manager is concern, it may land in mid development of FF13 or maybe next week.

For some reason, I'm still not seeing it. My new tab page still opens as a blank page. Any way to change turn it on?

Edit: Looks likes it is a conflict with TabsMixPlus. Keeping it on because I need TMP more than the bland new tab page.

Use dev build of TMP, and in the tmp options go to Events > New Tabs > Load on new tabs = New tab page. Make sure address is set to about:newtab. That should make it work.

I love "curves" on some "things" but just doesn't look great to me on Firefox tabs. :) Chrome's doesn't seem to be bad, but these I guess seem a bit odd. I guess it can grow on me though. Not having "tabs" and just text for the inactive tabs though may take awhile to adjust. I was trying out the Australis add-on for Windows and I really didn't care for the inactive tabs. Although I do plan on getting a iMac soon and Mac's version looks nicer.

Just updated to Firefox 11 Beta, can't find any info about it though?

Do a quick google/bing search for "firefox beta 11" news and there will be plenty of articles describing some of the top features and changes. Not hard is it?

In this thread, you are mostly going to find us talking about the Nightly build anyway.

doesn't matter if it does there are plenty of themes to make the tabs square again.

While it's not something I'm all too sore about, I just found it curious. The other thing I was curious about is why they suddenly want window controls that look different from the default Windows ones.

And on that note, is there a bug to fix the position of the windows controls in the current Nightly? The buttons are just a pixel or two too far to the right. Seems to be a result of fixing the size of the window borders, which were once too thick.

I believe there is. I don't recall the ticket number, but it was mentioned on the ticket that originally caused it.

they are :/ try seeing which platform from they file the bugs , also the arewefastyet.com runs on Mac systems...

The San Francisco Bay area (Mountain View, to be specific), where many in Mozilla are, is a somewhat Mac-centric area.

I don't think it has a huge effect though - it's not like the majority market could or would be ignored, plus many of the contributors are not employees. Mostly, it just means OSX gets a bit more of a focus than might normally be expected.

      By Copernic · Posted

      Kdenlive 26.04.2 by Razvan Serea Kdenlive is an acronym for KDE Non-Linear Video Editor. It works on GNU/Linux, Windows and BSD. Through the MLT framework, Kdenlive integrates many plugin effects for video and sound processing or creation. Furthermore Kdenlive brings a powerful titling tool, a DVD authoring (menus) solution, and can then be used as a complete studio for video creation. Kdenlive supports all of the formats supported by FFmpeg or libav (such as QuickTime, AVI, WMV, MPEG, and Flash Video, among others), and also supports 4:3 and 16:9 aspect ratios for both PAL, NTSC and various HD standards, including HDV and AVCHD. Video can also be exported to DV devices, or written to a DVD with chapters and a simple menu. Video editing features: Multi-track editing with a timeline and supports an unlimited number of video and audio tracks. A built-in title editor and tools to create, move, crop and delete video clips, audio clips, text clips and image clips. Ability to add custom effects and transitions.

Audio signal processing capabilities include normalization, phase and pitch shifting, limiting, volume adjustment, reverb and equalization filters as well as others. Visual effects include options for masking, blue-screen, distortions, rotations, colour tools, blurring, obscuring and others. Configurable keyboard shortcuts and interface layouts. Rendering is done using a separate non-blocking process so it can be stopped, paused and restarted. Kdenlive also provides a script called the Kdenlive Builder Wizard (KBW) that compiles the latest developer version of the software and its main dependencies from source, to allow users to try to test new features and report problems on the bug tracker. Project files are stored in XML format. An archiving feature allows exporting a project among all assets into a single folder or compressed archive. Built-in audio mixer Kdenlive 26.04.2 changelog: Remove not needed actions from render info, fix rough size calculation for rendering.

    • Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Here's how to watch the Xbox Games Showcase today and what to expect by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The June games showcase week has been a packed one, with everything from major presentations like Sony and Summer Game Fest to indie-focused reveals coming in almost every day. Now, it's almost time for another big one, with Microsoft bringing its Xbox Games Showcase back later today. This is a double feature too, with a Gears of War E-Day deep dive also being attached to it. For anyone wanting to tune in online, the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase is kicking off at 10 AM PT | 1 PM ET | 6 PM BST | 7 PM CEST later today, June 7. The event will be available to watch on the official Xbox YouTube (4K 60FPS), Twitch, Facebook, Steam, Amazon Live, and other portals. Separate livestreams for American Sign Language and Audio Description will also be available. "This year marks 25 years of XBOX, and this Showcase is poised to be a true celebration, offering world premieres, new gameplay, fresh updates, and more for a swathe of projects we cannot wait to share," said Microsoft about this presentation. With a new CEO behind it that is pulling off some interesting moves, Xbox may have some surprises to reveal today. New looks at first-party games like Halo Campaign Evolved from Halo studios, Fable from Playground Games, InXile Entertainment's Clockwork Revolution, Mojang's Minecraft Dungeons II, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 from Infinity Ward are to be expected here. We may finally get to see the new Blade from Arcane Studios in action and a new Persona game from Atlus at the showcase too. Surprise announcements may also arrive from other Microsoft-owned studios like Bethesda, MachineGames, Ninja Theory, Obsidian, Rare, World's Edge, or Blizzard. Considering how every new release nowadays is staying away from November and December to avoid Grand Theft Auto VI's release, any launch dates Microsoft announces will probably skip those months as well. Once the Xbox Games Showcase ends, Microsoft will immediately kick off the Gears of War: E-Day Direct. This deep dive into the upcoming prequel from The Coalition should attach gameplay footage and perhaps a release window to the highly anticipated project.

    • 007 First Light review: Satisfying spy adventure that James Bond needed

      By Nick H. · Posted

      So after some fiddling I was able to get it to run at a pretty stable 30FPS. I'm slightly surprised about how much fiddling I had to do to get there though given what I thought was reasonable hardware: Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS w/ Radeon 780M Graphics Memory: 16 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor 1: AMD Radeon 780M Graphics Graphics Processor 2: AMD Radeon RX 7700S I think I could do it better if I use Linux rather than Windows, Windows RAM usage is stupid without stripping the system down. But once I got it working in a reasonable state, it was so awesome! I felt like a new Bond! If anyone has any advice to get things going a bit smoother FPS-wise, I'd appreciate it.
