Deathmineral Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Anyone here tried out the beta for firefox 5 yet? I keep getting the popup message for it, and it's really annoying. Seems a little soon to me, everyone hasn't even gotten onto Firefox 4 yet even. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black64 Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Wait, didn't they just release Firefox 4? I haven't even tried it myself. To busy using chrome........ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrAlex Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 It's pretty much the same for Firefox 4, except with performance improvements. Firefox is now on a release major version every few months. Firefox 7 is already in the works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wevsspot Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 I haven't tried the Beta5 yet. I ran the Beta4 and then the official release. I've been a FF user for years now, but after 4 I just dumped it all together. Strictly Chrome and IE9 now.................. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if they're going to be releasing new versions all the time now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it wasn't for Ad-Block and NoScript on FireFox, I'd be using Chrome. (If there are similar versions of this on Chrome, by George, Tell me!)

Deathmineral Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 (edited) If it wasn't for Ad-Block and NoScript on FireFox, I'd be using Chrome. (If there are similar versions of this on Chrome, by George, Tell me!) Like this? Edit: There's also a Noscripts add-on, not sure if that's the same, I don't use the add-on. Double Edit: Thanks for bringing up AdBlock for Chrome, I've actually been needing to install that and another add-on for chrome for a while now.

wevsspot Posted June 8, 2011 Posted June 8, 2011 Not sure about NoScript for Chrome as I haven't researched that. But I'm using AdBlock for Chrome and Vanilla Cookie Manager for Chrome. IMHO these are two must have add-ons for the Chrome browser. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO these are two must have add-ons for the Chrome browser. I think noscript disables js as well, that ruins it. No i havent tried ff5, im still trying to figure out how to keep two stable releases co-existing side-by side, let alone three!

Guest_Jim_* Posted June 9, 2011 Posted June 9, 2011 (edited) If it wasn't for add-ons I would probably do the same. Especially if they're going to be releasing new versions all the time now. Go to about:config. Right click and add a new boolean. Name it "extensions.checkCompatibility.nightly" if you run the Nightly builds (this is for FF7) and tell it false. Now all the add-ons work and I have not had a single problem with any of them. I've been running the nightly 64-bit build for months now, since before FF4 was released, and have just kept doing that, for the 64-bit. Of course it has cost me the ability to view Amazon Lightning Deals and the rolling news things on Newegg. Not sure what's up with Newegg, but from what I've read Amazon just has it stated somewhere not to work with these non-release builds and it isn't a Firefox thing. The Newegg issue is more likely to do with running the 64-bit Flash. You cannot use a 32-bit version of flash in the 64-bit Firefox, in case you were thinking that. Anyhow, yes, I have been running FF7 or, more accurately, Nightly (it was FF6 and then it changed to 7 for some reason ). This is essentially the pre-alpha build while FF5, which goes by Aurora in the trunk, is more like an alpha. The Nightly builds will never become release builds while the Aurora builds are intended to become release. I hope that makes sense. No i havent tried ff5, im still trying to figure out how to keep two stable releases co-existing side-by side, let alone three! I've never had any problems. I can tell you that you cannot run two versions of Firefox at the same time, but I've not had issues with going from Nightly to FF4, as needed.
