Mozilla loves ripping off other browsers now don't they?

Everyone is freaking out about the new design saying it's such a huge chrome rip off. Who the fuck cares? It's the DEFAULT skin, you can (unlike chrome

) install a new skin that looks completely unique.

QUOTE(D34DL1N3R @ Jun 30 2010, 08:33 PM) Opera 10.60 is faster than any version of Firefox or Chrome.

No offense but I don't think anyone cares about Opera in the least bit. Why? Because everyone who uses Opera are completely stuck up and think they're from the future. You eventually just put Opera on your "Don't give a shit" list.

LoL. I'm not stuck up in the slightest. Nor do I think I'm from the future. It's just factual that it's faster regardless if anyone cares or not.

I'm just saying from experience that Opera users are like Apple users in the sense that they all think they're using the best product and all the features on their product have never been thought of before.

Plus Firefox 4.0 beta hasn't even gotten the javascript addon that makes it go even faster.

I'm running the 64 bit version, is there anyway to get Java or Flash to work on it?

Specifically, see comment #1. Either Adobe will continue releasing 64-bit Flash or Mozilla will somehow allow use of 32-bit extensions in the 64-bit browser.

Also (for Java):

Well, the current 3.6.6 version I have is giving me this shits, if I can be honest.

Every time it slows down on my Vista machine, then recovers, it changes the theme into stupid Vista Aero default crap, rather than my nice Green custom theme......

Lets hope this new version 4 doesn't do so, because currently 3.6.6 is almost abandoned by myself.

That's my 2 cents.

Um, can your computer handle Firefox? Like is it outdated?

Verifiable third-party benchmarks or take it back.

If it is an visualstyle, which style engine/patch do you use ?or do you use windowsblinds(crappy shit)?

Is there any way to set it so that multiple tabs don't appear as multiple windows on Windows 7? It's useful sometimes, but there are times when I have so many tabs open that it's pointless.

I think when it handles Vista, it handles FireFox. This is stil weird, but whatever hust try this one

You mean the taskbar previews?

2 GB Ram, 1 GB graphics, 2.1 GHz Processor it handled 3.5.10 perfect then I updated and it started stuffing around...

Blah, Firefox 4.....

I'd like to get the beta...

But I'd also like to keep these:
-StumbleUpon Toolbar
-Tektek Toolbar
-App that gives you the option to search through tineye when you right click an image


....Blah, no updating yet, then.

If you don't know how to use an old add-on on a newer version, then maybe you don't need a beta version. it's usually for developers to test and update add-on compatibility to be ready when the final 4.0 is finaly release to normal users.
But you know, there are 3 very easy solutions (2 of them were given few pages back) :
- edit the addon manually (download and save to disk instead of installing, rename .xpi to .zip, unzip, edit install.rdf, edit the max version to 4.0.* and repack, rename to xpi, install)
- install an add-on to disable version verification (but I suspect it only do the following without you knowing :
- edit the extensions.checkCompatibility.4.0b to false (untested by me, do it at your own risk).

Edit :
I tried the last point, it's working fine.
No need to re-download unpack and modify the extensions manually, no need to install a new extension either
just put in the URL bar : about:config
accept the warning screen
right-click and choose "new>boolean"
name : extensions.checkCompatibility.4.0b
value : false
restart Firefox

Ok, I know your post is on topic but it does nothing to contribute to the overall conversation whatsoever.

...and neither what you've just said there.

I'd use it but Adobe Flash Player isn't working on it so I can't watch videos, so I'm just sticking to 3.6.6 for now.

I would consider dissuading you from making another useless post 'contributing'.

 

[geminisama]

Wow, so it's pretty much Firefox Chrome. Fucking gay.

 

[Guild McCommunist]

I like the new layout and stuff. Not sure if there's any big change in speed though, I haven't really compared.
