Firefox 3.7Pre (Minefield) Oct 25 build seems to work

[MilesAhead]

Firefox 3.6Pre Oct. 25 nightly build seems to work. My AddOns work with it(with version checking disabled of course) and it also supports Windows 7 Jump List. All the previous nightly builds I had trouble with my AddOns. Looks like they are making rapid headway now. Here's the link:

It is a "nightly build" so it might not be cool to stick it on the boss's machine without telling.

What was listed in the link is actually 3.7 Pre-Alpha (its not even alpha yet!?) it is updated daily.

I ran it for a while, was fairly stable but it had a fit when I tried loading skydrive from it. Uber, open about Firefox post a screenshot of it, if you do not mind.

Haha no worries. I'm using firefox for now, but I want to switch back to chrome. Only a few things are preventing me from switching completely.

Fair enough, ive still got chrome installed as well, just testing Opera 10.10. Only thing about Chrome i don't like is that it doesnt have a bookmark menu in the menu bar like Firefox does

Closest I get to that with chrome is by putting everything in 'Other Bookmarks' and just click on that.

Eh it doesn't bother me that much. I just want tab integration with Windows 7 like Firefox is rolling out in the 3.6b1 candidates.

It's 3.7Pre nightly builds. I'm doing the same thing I did with 3.6Pre Minefield nightly builds, which is, if I find a stable version, I download the full installer. You never know when you do an update if it will turn flaky. When I get a lame build I just revert back to the last best stable.

To me the Jump List thing has the same problem as all the other stuff that MS calls "recent" when they really mean "frequent." If I use it "frequently" then I probably have an easy way to launch it already. If it's something I don't use often, it would be nice if it was stuck in a "recent" list so I could launch it again without digging it out of a nested folder. Anyway, this 3.7Pre build the Jump List does work(at least on W7 7077.)

I tried sticking Glasser on it but it was too much hassle changing to a brighter wallpaper just to see what I was doing with lots of glass in the menu area. Back to Aero Silver Fox Basic for me.

The rumored built-in glass was not to be seen btw(maybe because it's transparent? .. just kidding.)
