Firefox 4 beta is out

[Kaisha]

Seemed like a quick-fix release to squash a couple bugs they introduced in beta 5. I can type properly again in text-boxes now on the OSX release.

Not going to say the usual as to what's still broke on OSX Firefox beta though.

Bump for release of beta 7.

Bump for release of beta 7.

Much smoother than previous versions for me. Might actually be able to use it full time...

[Grey Jorildyn]

Wicked fast and smooth. Most impressive.

[chiyio]

have to say, beta 7 is noticeably faster than 6 was. really liking it.

[Grey Jorildyn]

I've also noticed it actually works my college's blackboard (online learning modules) whereas 6 didn't at all, and I had to use IE /rage

I have to say though, I hate where the reload button is. I may just map F5 to my mouse or something. Definitely gonna be sending them some feedback about that.

Yeah, why the hell would they even move it. I sent feedback on that yesterday.

Also hate losing some add-ons for a few days each upgrade.


Edit: Well after messing around with settings I got everything back the way I like it.
For moving the reload button, go to View > Toolbars > Customize , then just drag it back to the other side.

I'm actually liking the position of the reload button. After the half-second it took to locate it, it became just about natural for me (I'm still getting used to the "Open Link in New Tab/Open Link in New Window" switch).

What bugged me was the new-found inability to right-click and bookmark the selected tab.

Did they switch the keyboard shortcuts for New Tab and New Window or something else? That'd definitely throw me off for a bit

Nice! thanks a bunch.

New update, this shit got faster.

Edit: err totally didn't read this last page lol. Yeah I love this version a lot and the reload is a bit annoying, but that's what F5 is for.

[Jaregue]

maybe i didn't notice before i updated to the new version
but is there a way i can get the bar at the bottom back? the one that shows the path to links. and whether the page is done loading and whatnot

[Khamsin]

Does FF4 support the TIP (touch input panel)? The only issue I had with Firefox before was it wouldn't bring up the TIP icon when tapping input fields. Unlike the rest of windows (or even IE) where tapping in an input field would bring up the icon.

You can see link paths in the location bar(on the right side) but if you want the bottom bar back just right click around the top and choose "Add-on Bar".

What's the plug in that saves what you have typed in case you accidentally hit the back button or go to another site etc.
