Firefox 4.0 Official Beta 1 Released

[BadHairSpray]

any of you folks trying 4.0 had the browser/system freeze up when left on idle?... i left my Gmail on the browser while away from the PC and noticed the entire system froze.... initially thought it was the anti-virus playing up after updating..but I think its actually FF...

Just wanna find out if anyone else had a similar situ.

cheers

I haven't had any problems like that. I can keep Firefox running for days/weeks/months with like 15-20 tabs open with no problem, and the new beta hasn't changed that.

Thanks....yea maybe....i think its my PC...

many thanks

I wonder if I can install it alongside V3.6.6

I was wondering that myself

Also can the UI be changed to the old one currently used

See post #18 of the thread for the answer to your UI question.

yes you can

Thanks Cloud.

Currently using it. Everything from my FF3.6.6 was copied to FF4. I moved the tab bar to the bottom and showed the menus unwrapped. It works OK. The only thing is that my Personal toolbar isn't showing... maybe because of my add-ons that were also copied... hmm... Also, finally some Win7 integration!

EDIT

DUH. "Bookmark toolbar" wasn't checked...

bloody wonderful. finally we have a browser

Well, the UI isn't as bad as screenshots made it look. Not sure what they have done to the fonts.... the text looks different somehow, can't quite put my finger on it. and I have no idea whether hardware acceleration is working or not Im going to assume yes, because Fraps went nuts the moment it was engaged

EDIT: Hmm... Graphic driver crash.... Windows recovered itself though (clever Windows) Not sure if it's FF related... but FF was the only program open at the time.

I go here:
Firefox Nightly Builds

The current version they have up for the beta is jacked up for me too.

For some reason (actually Java) i cant download or open any word docs attached to emails in hot mail.
Also FireFTP isnt compatible and i use that quite a bit so for now its my second browser.

FireFox Beta is good but sometimes it takes time to connect to the server while browsing, and sometimes it just opens fast, and by the way does anyone know the best settings for putting in: About:Config -> Network

Anyone else having this problem where the minimize, maximize, and close buttons are gone and there are white stripes like the ones that show up when you use aero peek?

 

[smsff7]

I really don't like the new GUI specifically the buttons and the way tabs look with the new Firefox...

Also not enough of my addons work with it yet

I might use it after those issues an be dealt with

whoa, what in the world? btw non-menu mode does not work with persona on

 

[Nikkeli]

All addons you need: adblock... ??? :sarc:

EDIT: Never mind, I fixed. There was a problem coming back from fullscreen. I just had to press F11 again to go to windowed mode and then maximize it again.

EDIT 2: Ok, I found out the problem. I closed it while in fullscreen mode. Don't do that.

well i really love the new GUI for Firefox 4.

for some reason it seams that webpages are wider, but that just might be me?
also it only gets 97/100 on acid 3 with no java/flash addon.

 

[v104hx]

firefox-4.0b3pre.en-US.win32 is latest

 

[ionbasa]

yes I know, thats what I donloaded/installed a few hours ago.

I really like the new version. Gotta love it.
