Firefox 4 Beta launches

[iFish]

can't you just use the default theme. that worked for me.

Not the point.

It's supposed to be customizable

I just want to maintain my current interface in 3.6.6, they're not going to force this new UI on us are they?
Firefox is meant to be highly customisable after all.

Its only a default setting, you can change it back to the FF3's tab settings with a simple right click.

i suppose so, cause thats really annoying. i thought it didnt work for you at all even with the default theme. my bad. i understand its a first beta, but at least they know what to fix soon.

Those who have extensions that aren't compatible... have you tried editing the install.rdf file inside of the xpi?
Change the 'max version' perimeter to 4.* and most (if not all) will work fine.

If you don't know how:

Change the xpi extension on the plug-in to rar and extract the install.rdf file
Open the install.rdf file with any text editor
Change the 'max version' to 4.*
Save the changes
Replace the install.rdf file in the archive with the one you edited
Change the rar extension back to xpi and install the plug-in

No, I mean with themes, and not an interface that resembles the mac version of Firefox.
I already knew you could make the menu bar and tabs normal, I tried minefield last night.

^.^ I'm actually happy now that my desktop's firefox is loading as fast as my laptop's now ^.^ (laptop is in for repairs and i'm stuck with using the old family desktop... 256MB FTW...)

Speedwise I don't notice that much of a difference and I honestly prefer the Firefox 4 mockup theme that I have installed right now over the design they have in the beta.

Spoiler: Firefox 4 beta to the left, 3.6.6 to the right

So, has anyone else noticed that when you put Tabs on top, it kills the "New Tab" button on the toolbar?
What's up with that? I use that button all the time.

Mine works when it's on top :/

Hi guys, it's a beta.

 

[geoflcl]

Jeez o'Pete, it's pretty darn fast. I've always teeter-tottered back and forth between Firefox and Chrome, and it looks like I'm back on the Foxy this time.

 

[Sir-Fritz]

Can this be installed alongside 3.6.6?

Can this be installed alongside 3.6.6?

Yes. you can.

I only use chrome cause I got a blue screen whenever I opened firefox, then I deleted it. I might try FF 4 out once the stable version comes out. I think chrome is perfectly fine and very fast anyway.

 

[Rydian]

If there was a bluescreen, you should try to fix it. Firefox itself can't cause one, it probably tripped up a bug in something else, you should get it checked out.

Find the file that's dated form about the time firefox was causing bluescreens, and upload it to mediafire.com for us.

I'm using it right now. Looks more cluttered than Chrome

 

[Delta517]

Im downloading it now. Thanks for the info.

 

[DeltaBurnt]

I have it and it runs pretty awesome. I noticed that now pages take a little extra time to show up, but once they do all the images pop up instantly (instead of the background loading, some imagine loading, more text, etc.).

 

[Infinite Zero]

GREAT! Now I just wish it would open faster
