Not only the curved tabs , but also the settings button is taken blindly from Chrome. I mean the only element after tabs on top which distinguished us from chrome was this Firefox Menu Button which IMO came coz of the Windows7 apps/Office App/Ribbon UI(Major in Win8) look , and now its going away for idk which reason...

I think there is some conspiracy going on in the Mozilla HQ , they are planning to doom Mozilla Firefox if not Earth in 2012.

actually it looks WAY better then Chrome

Are they going to do something about the big red "close-button" on tabs? It's ugly as h*ll and looks really out of place.

Big red close button? If you mean, the button that appears when you hover over the 'x',it's supposed to be like that. It's a close action, after all. It can't not be red, and it has to be noticeable.

Definitely will have to find a userstyle to have that Bookmarks Star changed to a blueish color that matches the other navigation buttons. Don't like that yellow star.

I have to admit Australis userstyle is really growing on me. I didn't like it at first, but now it's really coming around and think it looks great now on the mockups. How well this turns out on the actual browser is a different story though.

The star icon has always been yellow. From stars on the sky to children drawing. Changing the color of a familiar symbol/icon will only confuse people.

While I agree, I just don't like it. I like it to blend in more kinda like how the Bookmark button is now. I'll just change via userstyles.

I'm trying to add a search keyword for YouTube, so I set the keyword to 'y'. Whenever I type 'y *video name*' it searches yahoo instead, even though I never use Yahoo. Does anyone know how to fix it so that y = youtube?

Ctrl+Shift+B > Bookmarks Menu , see if yahoo and youtube have same keyword

Or remove yahoo from your history

It's blue on OS X.

Certainly Mac is out of this world

Definitely don't have any entries in history or bookmarks for Yahoo, I even double-checked.

when u just type y , what does it show in the dropdown list? "Search Youtube" ?

I've renamed it but, yes, it shows 'search YouTube' as the very first entry.

In the search box dropdown list, go to "manage search engines" and then change the keywords set to each of them. If you are like me and don't even use Yahoo, then just select it and click "remove." Should solve the problem.

Also, for this reason, I always use two letter keywords to avoid conflicts. Always felt more natural to type two keys, [space], and then search term as opposed to just one key.

Anyone else having a problem with emails in Gmail? I can't see the text/content in the actual email body.

No issues here on the latest nightly. Try troubleshooting your addons. Chances are one of them might be interfering.

Disabled all my addons, cleared cache/cookies/history and I still have the same problem :/

Works fine in Chrome.

Yahoo and everything else, except Google, was already removed.

Are the animated tabs like moving tabs ever coming back? Feels so outdated having to use the "arrow" move still on Firefox. Haven't seen anything about this in awhile and lost the bug tracker.

Thanks!

It's still being worked on and the bug has had activity somewhat recently. No idea how soon it'll be here, though. Here's the bug if you want to track it.

UX Builds now have the new Download Manager http://ftp.mozilla.o...uilds/ux-win32/ Here is a video preview

Seems like the entries in the list take up too much vertical space based on the video, IMO. I'll have to update my UX installation to give a more informed opinion, though.

Download Statusbar is much better than the new video downloader. You can see all your current DL at a glance and you don't have to click 2 times to open a downloaded file.

WTF are doing the guys at Mozilla? There have really no clue about what they are doing or what?

Sir please, its not the final version , if you have suggestions , post somewhere where you would be heard by "developers" (Bugzilla).

Yeah , i think they will solve it later, themeing can be done later (considering Australis mockups for Download manager "panel" being very different) , right now they want to Implement it first...

That is only your opinion, for me the new download manager is A LOT much better than that horrible add-on. :)

    • AMD 9070XT

      By cooky560 · Posted

      It's nearly time to replace my aging Founders Edition 3080, it doesn't OC as nicely as it used to and it's running around 10c warmer than it did when I first bought it.  I don't have budget for much more than what I spent on the 3080 and locally, that means the best GPU I can manage is a 9070XT. On this basis I have a few questions: 1. At present I don't use ray tracing, if this was to change, would this GPU be an issue? 2. How does it compare on a performance basis? 3. Are the drivers worse or better than those for nVidia? 4. Linux support, is it there? 5. Anything else I should be aware of if I were to make this change? 6. Is it a good idea or shall I try and keep the 3080 a little longer.

      What OS is that? It looks a bit like Mac OS but the command line suggests it isn't, either way I like it!
    • Windows Live Mail : If someone was malicious

      By cooky560 · Posted

      Outlook classic is inherently better than new outlook, for a number of reasons. That said, if the only reason people need office is to read email, they should just use thunderbird.
    • Windows 11 in 2026: Are you fully on board, or still holding back?

      By cooky560 · Posted

      Windows 11 is a big thumbs down from me. I used for a period of a few days while it was in insider and windows 10 was the main OS, and realised it wasn't for me. I am still waiting for Windows to be tolerable again, a shame as at one point I was very pro Microsoft.  
    • Classic Outlook vs New Outlook — Which one do you prefer and why?

      By cooky560 · Posted

      Classic outlook, not only does it have a much fuller feature set, it doesn't include Microsoft attempting to sync my emails from my servers to theirs. If classic outlook is ever removed from office, and the version I paid for in 2021 stops working for some reason, I'll use Thunderbird.
