Firefox's massive overhaul moves to beta

Should be released quite soon at this rate.

 

Looks like they are shooting for the 29th.

OK thanks for the info.

 

29.0 Beta 9 is out!

ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/29.0b9/

 

Fx 29 ob9 looking good here. I still haven't encountered any problems.

 

Is the new account based sync working in the beta?

 

I have not tried it.

 

The RC has been posted to Mozilla's FTP server for those that are interested. If not the official release should be within a week.

...It's also now on Majorgeeks.

My beta didn't sync my bookmarks with older versions. I don't sync anything else and I haven't tested beta to beta.

 

they are near to release firefox 29

are they gonna implement any kind of sandboxing soon?

IE and Chrome already have this.
Firefox is way behind on this.

 

Anyone else notices that the addon update page is no longer able to load release notes? I'm getting errors for two weeks now.

 

There's this:

"Mozilla Set to Revive Electrolysis for Firefox Process Threading"

http://www.internetnews.com/blog/sk...ectrolysis-for-firefox-process-threading.html

 

tnx for the heads up m8!
looking forward to it!

 

The Firefox team actually made quite a bit of progress on Electrolysis in the past couple of months. It has been available in the nightly builds for some time now and can be enabled in the configuration. For further information take a look here:

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Content_Processes#Enabling_Electrolysis

It is somewhat usable, if you don't use a lot of addons. Still a long way to go though.

 

Finally upgraded to Fx 29 on my Win 7 machine. Looks good.

 

Anyone? I'm still not able to load them, and it happens with different addons.

 

Yes, I also have this problem.

 

Same here ..

 

Firefox 29.0 Final!

~Link removed. Not yet announced officially.~

 

Did you download the "English US" executable? Can you say which sub-folder it's in? The "en-US" folder is empty.

Edit: The en-US folder now contains the EXE

 

Win32/en-us/ & linux-x86_64/en-us/

Try again, the exe it's there now.

 

Thanks, I got it. Majorgeeks has it up now too.
