Responsive Mode and Layout View in Firefox 15

http://paulrouget.co...devtoolsupdate/

I can see responsive mode being super useful for people developing a mobile site using media queries, which should hopefully happen more in the future (The mobile web still seems to be stuck in the 90s, with most sites using an entirely different markup and stylesheet compared to the main site)

In Firefox 16:

Eliminate Stack Variable (Some speedup in JS engine) - Landed in Inbound

MicroData API (HTML5 support) - Landed in Inbound

PDF.js control in Application Option - Landed in Inbound

Bug 738491 - Implement Australis tab shape & styling on Windows

Sorry Zlip792, but it is gonna happen soon , the bug has landed for UX branch (will be in today's) and is coming soon.

Thanks for informing..

These useless developer only know how to lose customer...

Opera will be next browser to learn my stuff. Will surely help these people out by filing bugs like I do for FF..

Sorry FF you lost your identity..

Shhh , you are not getting it bro... Why would google pay Firefox so much even when Chrome now has max share? (Something they were sure of) That deal also has a secret condition that Mozillian Developers will doom Firefox and make it a Chromish browser... But hey , don't tell anyone!

Is there a way to turn the speed dial page off in 13? I don't know if it's just me or what but it seems like for a speed dial page it's missing half the basic features it should have.

about:config

change "browser.newtab.url" from about:newtab to about:blank

And on a side note , with this you can make firefox open certain site each time you open a new tab. For example , changing browser.newtab.url from about:newtab to say http://www.facebook.com/ you will get facebook each time you create a new tab. A feature which requires an addon.

This is how current WIP patch works like. The implementation is really awesome and close to finish IMO. Only App tabs have problems.

The last one is using Tabs Always in Titlebar addon.

It is in 6th June builds http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-ux/

Oh Yes!! I got your point.. Old days when FF4 was under development, Mozilla did competition campaign etc for adding new UI while now they are blindly adding garbage on it by one user "Stephen horlander" lousy theme basis. Total rip off and more consumer losing decision.

I like tabs always in the title bar

New Incontent Preferences Mockup, yes they are following my (And others :p) suggestion to use vertical list , just like addons manager (feels so good to see your idea being used :D)

(That awkward moment when they use Aero frames but OSX radiobuttons etc :| )

looks good. any way to edit out the tab strip background?

But there is buttons border...? What is going on, They plan to recover buttons border or what?

I guess it is just to give an idea of the customization menu button

PS : Its from 2011 :p I don't know why they covered it in 6 June's weekly meeting .

You're right, I know this mockup and I don't like it :D I prefer current Firefox/Nightly default theme and I've restore buttons border :p on my own. Australis mockup, IMO, isn't best thing, I will need tone of scripts to get "old" theme, unfortunately...

Acording to the heat map (https://blog.mozilla.org/ux/2012/06/firefox-heatmap-study-2012-results-are-in/), the panorama is least being used. They should kill panorama and restore standard windows frames because it is a big problem for taking screenshots of long pages with third party tools.

That mockup is from Sept 2011 , the heat map results for panorama weren't out back then.

    • Does anyone here know if these updates are integrated into the UUP dump isos?
    • Motrix Next 3.9.4 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management. Motrix Next features: Multi-protocol downloads — HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, Magnet, .torrent, ED2K, and Metalink tasks BitTorrent — Selective file download, DHT, peer exchange, encryption controls, metadata caching, GeoIP peer flags, and tracker probing Browser extension integration — Embedded Extension API with independent authentication, download confirmation, smart auto-submit, filename hints, referer/cookie forwarding, and real-time controls (Chrome Web Store · Edge Add-ons) Safe filename handling — Content-Disposition, RFC 2047, non-UTF-8, percent-encoded, and extensionless URL resolution with path traversal sanitization Download organization — Favorite and recent folders, optional file-type categorization, stale-record cleanup, and completed history backed by SQLite Concurrent downloads — Independent controls for active tasks, HTTP connections per server, segments per file, and BT peer limits Speed control — Global and per-task upload/download limits with day-of-week and time-of-day scheduling System integration — Tray operation, optional tray speed display, macOS Dock badge/progress, protocol handlers for magnet://, thunder://, and motrixnext:// Lightweight mode — Destroys the WebView on minimize-to-tray while Rust keeps the engine, task monitor, notifications, history, and extension routing alive Notifications and power options — Native task start/complete/failure notifications, keep-awake during downloads, and optional shutdown after completion Network controls — Scoped proxy support for downloads, app updates, and tracker updates, plus system proxy detection Auto-update channels — Stable, Beta, and Latest Across Channels policies with separate download and install phases Diagnostics — Structured logs, exportable diagnostic ZIPs, database integrity checks, automatic DB rebuild, and Linux GPU rendering fallback Personalization — Light/dark/system theme, 10 color schemes, 26 languages, and first-launch system language detection Motrix Next 3.9.4 changelog: Motrix Next 3.9.4 promotes the 3.9.4 beta cycle to stable. This release refreshes bundled engine binaries, improves task detail readability and copy actions, expands link handling for magnet and ED2K workflows, polishes responsive navigation and text wrapping, updates browser extension documentation, and refines network preference controls. New Features Task Detail copy actions — Added copyable values for task metadata and reusable render functions for long text fields. Magnet and ED2K lifecycle support — Added task lifecycle handling for magnet and ED2K links. History cleanup for deleted tasks — Deleted tasks can now remove matching history records. User-Agent management — Added user-agent management and improved related network preference controls. Browser extension documentation — Added the Firefox Add-ons link for the Motrix Next extension. Improvements Engine binaries — Updated bundled binaries for supported architectures. Task Detail readability — Long task names, URLs, tracker values, and copyable metadata now render more clearly. Deletion messaging — Refined localized task deletion text for clarity and consistency. Text wrapping — Improved URI input wrapping and task name multiline display. Navigation layout — Improved sub-navigation responsiveness. Disk allocation default — Changed the default file allocation method to trunc. Proxy controls — Improved proxy button styling in network preferences.

    • NVIDIA officially supports Ubuntu, as linked above with the GeForce NOW Hands on I did in collaboration with Paul Hill.
    • TO be clear I am not running linux today, however I keep thinking about it. And I want to make sure there are minimal obstacles if I decide to make that switch in the coming months.
    • Yes, I actually glossed over the Linux part from the OP. You could always go for a 9070 XT and if you really want to play Ray Traced games in the future, GeForce Now is pretty damn good on Linux https://www.neowin.net/news/nvidias-native-geforce-now-app-for-linux-bridges-the-gaming-gap-hands-on/
