This isnt general discussion but software discussion. Now, since we do not have a general software discussion, only windows and mac & linux per separate, i will move it to windows, since -even if the sw is crossplatform- the majority of A-S users use it for PC and not mac. It is just a half fix until we move to IPB2, which btw is looking great ;)

do u know if the themes are compatible with firefox 8

#172480

Hope so....I couldnt bear losing pinstipe.

PLEASE update the pinstripe theme, I notice that with pinstripe firefox takes up much more memory and CPU than with a default theme!

#172483

I think I read somewhere that they're going to make either 0.9 or 1.0 (can't remember which) be able to work with older themes - and be less specific when it comes to themes so that one minor innacuracy doesn't 'break' firefox....

That would be very nice. I'm interested to see what they do with this release.

Hope it comes out soon :)

For those who have not followed the on going 'developments' with Mozilla Firefox, all themes and extensions have to be repacked again by their respective designers/authors in order to work with the up coming Firefox 0.9 Aviary/Branch build [Milestone]

There have been major changes to the 'profile directory' structure and a new Extension Manager (with includes a new theme manager)...

To not be 'greatly disappointed, when FF 0.9 [Milestone] is released to the general public, I would highly suggest going to the Mozillzine Forums for more updated info...

sounds usm, and it gets us even closer to 1.0 ^_^

#172575

I don't think I will upgrade from my 0.7 until 1.0 is released.

Question: Not to sound *****y or start any rumors, but do you think they will implement a feature, that instead of opening a new window (when is specified but "target=") it will open it in a new tab? That is one annoyance that I have.

Middle mouse button or ctrl+click does it!

Tabbrowser extension has that feature as well, you can just click on a link and it wont make a new window.

Speaking of useful extensions, check this out:

It disables blank tabs (or pages) popping up after you click a download link. It is very easy to customize.

I know about that, but sometimes I don't realize that it will open in a new window. It is just an annoyance that all of a sudden, a new FireBird window opens, when it could just redirect it to a new tab. Then I have to close it and re-click.

Get the Tabbed Browser Prefs extension, it lets you make all links open in new tabs instead of new windows.

But I use Middle Mouse Button click, works fine.

Woohoo, I wonder how this will impact skins... mmm

#174574

ok, seems pretty buggy. Whenever any window other than the browser opens up(like preferences, error messages...) i have to kill the process, because i cannot close the windows. Anybody else having this issue?

Edit: apparently i got a bad install or something... i uninstalled and reinstalled and i am not having any problems now. At least i dont think i am
