Mozilla Firefox 4.0 RC out

And here's a look at the way ahead (proposed):

One of the people acknowledged at the bottom of the link is Anthony Laforge of Google. It seems he made a presentation to the folks at Mozilla on how Google shortened its release cycle for Chrome.

 

I laughed harder than I had in a long time when I saw this claim:
"Firefox 5.0 to Launch 16 Weeks after 4.0, Firefox 6.0 Just 6 Weeks after 5.0"

 

There will be an RC2:

My good friend, nice.
Thank you

Let's see, Noob is currently on Chrome v12, so I'm thinking he'll be rocking v20 when FF4 hits final. At least if they keep this pace up.

Great !! Now after updating IE9, i have this issue in IE also.
Today my firefox RC crashed. I have opened a thread @mozilla forums..
http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=2135081&p=10550957#p10550957

 

guess i found the problem for falsh/youtube thing. I disabled hardware acceleration in adobe flash player settings. And as of now i don't see the problem.

Thanks,
harsha.

 

Some awesome advice from the IE9 thread, I wonder if it solves your issue.

 

I don't think so (probably a different case of his machine). I know the issue is been occurring to a friend of mine who has ESS (with firewall disabled too) in his machine. Nothing else. Definitely not an issue with firewall. And Thanks for the advice dude

Remember, the issue was not there in IE8 even to me. I got it in IE9.
Now, I think there is some incompatibility with the new browsers (FF4/IE9/Chrome10) vs Adobe Flash player Hardware accl. part with my GPU (ATI HD4330M). Everything is working fine to me as soon as i disabled H/W accl. in Adobe settings.

Thanks,
Harsha.

 

rc2 is available through update and should be posted up soon to the main page

 

Yes. Help > About did it for me. RC1 to RC2 was a 2.5 MB update.

 

It's nice that you had a good day. But they simply adapt the Chrome development model to make new features available more quickly - see here.

 

I do not know if this has been answered before. I just upgraded for the first time to firefox 4 from FF 3.6 and now when I shutdown firefox with multiple tabs, it does not give me the option to "save the tabs and exit". How do I enable this option in FF 4?

 

Go to about:config and see what you have over here:
browser.tabs.warnOnClose
If the value is false, you can change it to true.

 

Thank you. I just researched the answer myself here. I believe the relevant setting is browser.showQuitWarning = true

 

Thanks for that Seems it's a multi-step process!

To quote from the link you gave:

 

tlu, do you mean to say that you really believe we'll see Firefox 5 final in June/July?

 

Well, if they really switch to a "multi-channel scheme" as Keizer put it, it might be possible.

 

How is the rc2 working for you guys?.For me it has not caused any problems yet..

 

Looking good!

 

With EMET and sandboxie the start up it sloooow.

 

Installed fresh Win7 and Fx4 RC2 yesterday on a PC with hardware that is a few years old (think it was a 3Ghz AMD dual core, about 5 years). Warm boot took about 6 seconds, so it may not directly be sandboxie/EMET but the hardware.
