Beta: Firefox 4b7 now available

http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-beta.html

 

Using it ... running great on my system

 

Add-ons option don't work for me.

 

Add-on Compatibility reporterRequestPolicy caused this.

 

Thanks. Does anyone know where the MD5/SHA are listed?

 

Although I am not using FF anymore, I briefly checked this version to find out if a problem that is important to me is still present.

The problem is this: when hardware acceleration is enabled and I “print” to PDF a text web page, the result is a graphic PDF, big and non-searchable. This is independent of the printer driver used (my default printer is pdfFactory Pro), and is a problem because I save all financial transactions receipts and other documents as PDFs, and I want them to be small and searchable.

The problem is still present in beta 7

 

Here? --> ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/4.0b7/

 

Strange it can't be custom set to remember selected days of history, or is this a planned addition later?

 

I believe that's by design.

Yep, I think you're right. Too bad this is removed

 

Is anyone experiencing a long pause after launching Firefox 4? I noticed that this only happens when hardware acceleration is turned on. I have an ATI Radeon HD 5870, so I think it can definitely handle the load. Please advice.

Thanks!

 

Missing the status bar..dont like the addon bar

 

Status-4-Evar: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/235283/

~~~~~~~~~~~

I like the add-on bar, with a userChrome hack I get this:




Then using this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/55724/ for Chrome-like status bar.

 

Thnx Sadeghi85 .. status 4 evar is working great
just one problem...b4 adding this addon all the addons on addon bar were on right now they are stacked in left

 

Click right on an empty space on add-on bar, select 'Customize', drag the icons to the right of status 4 evar widget.

 

Done that..not working..still stuck on left

 

strange that there is no 64bit for WIN in the beta branch whilst being contentiously developed as trunk. would be curious about the memory consumption of the 32bit beta on WIN 7, since the 64bit trunk seems to be a bit of a hog with 280 - 400 kb committed on W7 64bit. flash is working with the 64bit trunk and the 10.2.161.23 64bit flash player. problem with silverlight pages as no 64bit silverlight from MS

 

Just try these builds:

I mentioned the trunk, but was wondering about the absence of the 64bit version for WIN as beta

 

My problem solved thsi one

 

There! Thanks.

 

With the new JagerMonkey does that mean you are exploited 3x faster?

Christmas is getting closer, Firefox 4 stable will be here soon, yeeha.

 

JFYI in case you are running Avira Premium (or Suite maybe?) on Win7 (and Vista?): Webguard doesn't work anymore. Counter stays at zero. Avira support (or the lack of) doesn't seem to care at all about that problem which is existent and was reported since beta 5 if my memory serves me right.

And btw .. this new hardware acceleration sucks big time here on CRT monitor. I really can't bear those blurry fonts, old GDI way of font rendering is maybe much slower but also much sharper an nicer which is much more important to all the people I know of! - Glad one can turn this therefore useless feature off.

There are other things (missing status-bar for example) that I don't like in this new beta so I deleted it already despite the long time I waited for it. No thank you, v3.6.12 is just fine for me and btw. Prevx SOL works only with that version, not with v4.
