Is this the final beta release? Will there be bookmark issues, or are they once again using the .json extension for export/import of bookmarks?

Its the final beta release, they are still using HTML for export/import of bookmarks

Its the final release...

Good to know. I've been eagerly awaiting the post-beta release. Hopefully it's at least a little faster, especially with many extensions.

thnx for the share, beta 4 crashed alot for me...hope so that bugs fixes on beat 5

 

[BCXtreme]

I've been on Beta 5 since the first candidate last week, and it is definitely more stable than Beta 4. No crashes thus far.

Thanks for the update.

Updated and have problem.
It shows custom value and a 404 page instead of my home page.
Have tried a workaround it sort of works but is a PITA

EDIT; I posted this then closed and reopened Fire fox and it worked OK,

I just upgraded to Beta 5. Make sure you first uninstall Beta 4 and then install Beta 5. Otherwise, add-ons get all mixed up. Greasemonkey will not work in Beta 5 although it worked in Beta 4. The workaround is to turn the scripts you want into add-ons.

Beta 5 seems to be faster than Beta 4. The new Firefox menu looks a bit different. Although you need sometime to get used to it, it gets easier

Just tested it on a 1080p youtube hd video. Ran nice and smooth in fullscreen!

Yep Captain. That's me, living on the Pre-
Don't mind problems with extensions since I work around it.

well im going back to 4..... 5 gives me problems with embedded video that in 4 only happened when hardwear acceleration was turned on. now when i have it on or off it has problems.

I've just now got it on. Some of the stuff about hardware acceleration and the audio visual stuff looks interesting but I haven't used it yet really. I noticed I could only import bookmarks from Opera, tried that but I can't find them so I must have misunderstood it.
Be nice to import bookmarks from Chrome and my FF 3.8 install but I haven't seen a way to do that yet either. It's late here, I'll have a proper look round tomorrow

 

[cloud8521]

heres the problem i have

the blue is where the video is suppose to be, and the red is what is copied there instead.
