Real men go for Aurora.
I switched to Greasemonkey years ago and I've been happy ever since. All my scripts are working fine.
Fixed this for you. Aurora is best Firefox. Nightly is a little too unstable even for my liking. Nightly is only for the manliest men.
Firefox 20.0.1 is now available. It fixes an issue some people were having with an unresponsive/dysfunctional URL bar while using roaming mode in Windows Server.
The new Australis theme has been looming around the heads of the Firefox community for a very long time. Most of what we - that is the public - know about the theme is that it will modify how Firefox looks as it will replace the current default theme when it is released. What many Firefox users may not be aware of though is that Australis is more than just a theme replacement as it will affect the way we customize the browser.
It has not been made clear up until now what this really means and while nothing has been set to stone yet, according to Mozilla, some of the proposed changes will affect many users of the browser. Here is a list of (proposed) changes to customization options as discussed on Bugzilla:
- The Add-ons toolbar (former status bar) will be removed. Mozilla plans to move all add-on icons formerly displayed in the bar in the main navigational toolbar instead (just like Chrome does).
- Custom toolbars will be removed. Icons displayed in those toolbars will be moved to the main navigational toolbar as well.
- The back, forward, reload and stop buttons as well as the url bar will be placed at the beginning of the main toolbar. They can no longer be moved to another location.
- Items can no longer be placed in the menu toolbar. All items that have been placed there - by add-ons for instance - will be moved to the navigational toolbar instead.
- Small icons will no longer be supported.
- Third party toolbars such as Ask, AVG, Babylon or Norton will remain untouched.
- The tabstrip's customization area is limited to one area on the side of the tabs closest to the menu button. All items displayed in the tabstrip will be displayed there.
yikes, if I wanted chrome, I'd use chrome. mozilla is so dumb >_< all those things are why I use FF over chrome, fully customizable UI. specially addon bar, if that's out, I'm out :| they're even ripping off the ugly chrome tabs
if they want to increase the page space by removing it, they can just auto hide it, I have it like that with an script right now, works great.
With the Australis UI changes, will we still be allowed to have a Bookmarks Toolbar? That toolbar currently has small icons on it, and is unaffected by the 'use small icons' tickbox in the customize toolbars menu.
I plan to keep most addon-related buttons there like I do currently.
Awful new download manager. Close your window, downloads stop without warning. At least in the old version you had a seperate pane so you'd see that your downloads aren't finished.
Then just restore the old download manager by typing about:config in the address bar and setting browser.download.useToolkitUI to true.
Why is there more wasted space?
There is a nightly ppa for Firefox, and I've installed the ux branch before but I'm not sure of any ppaI wonder when (or if) Australis is going to hit the Linux builds? I miss back when I had Windows I could try the cutting-edge stuff in Firefox/Chrome, but now since I use Linux (cause I'm to po' for Winodws after my first HDD crashed) I'm always days, weeks, or months behind.
I think I saw a version with buttons like copy/paste/etc but never with addons.^^ I believe that's in some of the mockups. I agree

fuck yeah, porn mode
Goodbye Chrome!
Ouch, the only good change is removing that awful add-on toolbar.
No more small icons? That giant back button in normal size icon view is atrocious! Sounds like they just want to be like Chrome and that's not a path I'd like to see it go for UI design and such.
The best thing about FF incognito mode is that, in contrast to Chrome, all add-ons still work.
I had forgotten about the addons being there, that would be nice to have.
Do some not work in Chrome Incognito? I know you have to manually turn them on.
Hmm... I tried few ad blockers/noscript plugins once and even though they were turned on, none of them worked in incognito mode.
Oh, I've just noticed the checkbox below each add-on description. Now I feel stupid. :|
Maker Party 2013 will be the second annual distributed party Mozilla has thrown focused on Web education and digital literacy. Last year, Mozilla's Summer Code Party included more than 700 community-led events, with more than 10,000 participants across 80 countries. And just like last year, you can join from anywhere school, an internet cafe or even your own kitchen table.
Mozillians are part of a growing global community of makers, and this year we're proud to be expanding our reach and joining even more people around the world who feel the same way.
That's why this year's party isn't just about learning to code, it's about celebrating the huge range of learning, making and creating the Web makes possible.
And this year, as part of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation's Summer of Connected Learning, we're joined by dynamic start-ups, non-profits, institutions, and tech companies, including Black Girls Code, California Academcy of Sciences, DIY.org, Girl Scouts of Greater Chicago and Northwest Indiana, Intel, NYC Department of Education, the Sesame Workshop and Make Things Do Stuff.
Together, we'll be engaging more than 500,000 people to learn and make things thanks to the Web.
