Firefox loads parts of the default theme based on what Windows theme you use, so when you use a custom theme it breaks and random theme parts are never loaded. Tons of apps have that issue, and it's probably one of the reason MS never opened up theming.

Edit: I like the new site identity block (I think they're going to bring back the old green background for EV-SSL certs), but I'm not entirely sure how much I like SSL/no SSL differing only by having a globe/padlock icon. You can't rely on a plain SSL certificate to tell you anything other than the fact that the connection is encrypted, and just repeating the domain like it used to isn't needed much now, but I'm still not sure.

Some mockups (i don't know if this is how Firefox would end up looking like) for Metro and Win8

Thanks to Ahmed Nefzaoui

IMO its way more Metroish than IE10 , although it has curves but the colors and simplicity make its UI much richer

Rounded tab != metro overall UI.

Hopefully MS will slap them on the face before putting it on the store.

I guess browsers can be installed via Win 32 installers , they are the "3rd category" Metro apps , correct me if m wrong.

Hmm , i don't know what makes them stick to rounded tabs and UI so badly when everyone is not agreeing. Let's see how they implement it , coz last time they tried curved tabs connecting to nav bar , they flunked.

From what I've found on the internet, this category of "metro apps" have to be installed like old applications, they won't be on the store.

About the rounded tab ... I guess it looks nice on OSX :/

Correct me if I'm wrong, but in IE, you can switch from tab to tab with a gesture that doesn't require to bring the top panel with the tabs; hence showing tabs is useless.

Just because IE does something doesn't mean it's the best way of doing so, having to flip back and forwards to find the right tab sounds worse than just looking at thumbnails or clicking the tap up the top.

Firefox Nightly is now updated to 15 after second respin.

Also much more contenteditable support landed...

FF8 - 611

FF9 - 669

FF10 - 671

FF14 - 729

FF15 - 863 and more to go,,,

Although everyone knows how new Release mechanism works now but if you still want to know when would a certain version/beta version/aurora version/nightly version would come out , you can use https://mail.mozilla...html?view=month

I would request moderators to allow me to edit the very first post of this thread so that i can add important links like these every now and then ... Else you can add them :) Like the one i just mentioned. (And the TM Link is broken...)

Hey! 2k Posts :woot:

Firefox 12 is final, so the other versions all go up one version:

  • Firefox 12 Beta -> 13 Beta
  • Firefox 13 Aurora -> 14 Aurora
  • Firefox 14 Nightly -> 15 Nightly

Your choices are: Either live without Lastpass until it works with version 15 or go back to Beta/Aurora.

I thought that was the version number changes so I went looking for Aurora but it still told me 13 was the download

    • Spyro: A Realm Beyond revealed by Toys for Bob, the first new entry after almost 20 years by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Xbox Games Showcase had a surprise reveal from Activision that wasn't related to Call of Duty. The Microsoft-owned publisher revealed a brand-new Spyro game, confirming the return of the series that last had a brand-new entry appear nearly 20 years ago. Watch the new Spyro: A Realm Beyond trailer above, which shows off a new look for the iconic dragon. While most of the trailer is a rendered cinematic, the very end does feature a snippet of gameplay captured on PC. The development team working on this project is Toys for Bob. This is the same studio that delivered the Spyro Reignited Trilogy remasters that brought back the original games for fans. "We are huge Spyro fans ourselves and we are so excited that 'the adventure continues'," says Toys For Bob Studio Head, Paul Yan. "I know the wait has been excruciating but we’re so thrilled to finally come out of stealth and confirm that a new Spyro game is indeed what we’ve been up to these past few years." As is evident from the trailer, Spyro has grown since his previous adventures, and that means he is better at flying too. Players will be able to fly around with freedom for the first time in the series this time, and not just inside mini-levels. "In Spyro: A Realm Beyond, Spyro will experience the freedom of true dragon flight," adds Yan. "He’s small, but mighty, so we had to do a lot of different experiments to explore how he could be both nimble and still be very physical when actively pushing his way through the air." The studio promises the return of whimsical worlds to explore, with plenty of treasure and activities to find. There is a new antagonist coming in to threaten this peaceful world too. Moreover, Tom Kenny is returning to voice Spyro. Spyro: A Realm Beyond is releasing sometime in Spring 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
    • They couldn't have done a better job, this is beautiful!
    • Oh, of course not. The real "victims" are the people who snipe kids in the head, have killed more journalist than all the worlds wars combined, do double tap strikes on medical personnel, claim history started on October 7th, have a $700 million dollar annual Hasbara budget and pay influencers $7k a post to spout exactly this kind of propaganda. How dare you question the most moral army in the world. Victimhood belongs to these genocidal freaks alone. Anyone who denies that is literally Hitler. If you're going to support a terrorist state, the least you could do is come up with better talking points.
    • Gears of War: E-Day brings 12-player co-op, smoother traversal mechanics, and more by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Right as the Xbox Games Showcase came to an end today, The Gears of War developer The Coalition took over to show off its next project: E-Day. This prequel project was announced back in 2024, but now we have a lot more details about its campaign, new gameplay mechanics, and even a release date. The studio says this is the first time it has managed to get the time to build the entire game in a new engine, as it had worked non-stop on new titles for years while porting classic code and assets. With Unreal Engine 5 now powering Gears of War: E-Day, The Coalition says it started completely anew, with all assets, animations, environments, and others being built from scratch. The campaign will take place across three days in the city of Kalona. The story will follow the events through the eyes of Bravo Squad. This is made up of the returning classic duo Marcus and Dom, as well as the new characters Mags Carter and Lucas Reyes. Watch the trailer below to see Marcus in action without his iconic armor and gear, just as the Locust invasion kicks off. The story will draw on classic Gears novels like Aspho Fields as well, with the studio even collaborating with author Karen Traviss. "That continuity is what makes the destruction land," says the studio. "In E-Day, you watch a living city torn apart—homes still lit, meals half-finished—while people abandon their cars and run for cover. Small details—a child’s toy, an uneaten dinner—make the loss real as everyday places collapse under the Locust assault." The movement system is getting a big overhaul here. Players will be able to slide while running, jump across gaps, climb head-height covers, and even crawl on the ground to avoid fire from enemies. As for the returning horde mode, The Coalition teased a new 12-player PvE mode. This will involve three squads of Gears going up against the incoming Locusts in larger city maps than usual. The studio says that it is going to reimagine the classic formula just as co-op games are going through a resurgence. Multiplayer was touched on today too, where Versus is coming back touting four versus four Gears PVP action set across Kalona maps. More details about multiplayer will be revealed later. Open beta weekends are kicking off this August for fans wanting to jump in early too. Gears of War: E-Day is releasing on Xbox Series X|S and PC on October 6 with pre-orders available now. It will also be a part of Xbox Game Pass on day one. Microsoft has confirmed this as an Xbox platform exclusive, as there are no plans to bring it to PlayStation or Switch.
