When I type a search alias (like y for youtube) and then a search term, it highlights the alias as if it's recognized, but when I press enter, nothing happens. edit: fortunately the beta release 2.8.4 fixes the problem https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/instantfox/versions/

Just don't forget to update to the final release whenever it's out, because I don't think the beta autoupdates.

I can't wait! It's been a long time coming and I am glad they are starting to land Australis. I hope the community receives it well; it looks like the customization is still there (as well as the app menu customizations) and it looks amazing. woo woo!

Add-on question: is there something for Firefox that's as good as Hover Zoom for Chrome? I've tried a few of the similar add-ons for Firefox and they just pale in comparison.

Shoot. Yeah, I've used that one and it's not bad, but it isn't nearly as... compatible (?) as Hover Zoom. Dang.

Re-learning UI sucks when you have real things to do. Especially when it is 98% style masturbation over "how I think it should be" that will change again when someone else seizes the reigns.

I can't wait as the default theme right now looks like absolute poo poo in Windows 8/8.1. I've been using some Maxthon theme instead for the time being.

Removing the Addon bar entirely seems dumb to me. Like someone at Mozilla just hates the fact that there's people out there using it as a status bar like it's 2005 again.

I'm dreading Australis. In every other case their "streamlining" has been taking something that used to display some kind of status and moving it behind something that requires a mouseover or click. I hate my toolbar buttons being hidden or context-aware, and I want a bar at the bottom of the screen to show where links go without popping up some variable-length half-bar that flashes like crazy as you move your cursor over various links. Looks like they're putting a lot of effort into customization so hopefully I'll be able to get it the way I like it. I just counted and fully half the add-ons I have installed are just to undo previous UI tweaks.

My only prayer for Australis is that they include a way to separate the refresh button from the URL bar, which is, by the way, the stupidest loving thing ever, holy poo poo.

Eh, it's a super customizable browser, we can do pretty much whatever we want with it. I'm sure there'll be themes and extensions to change whatever it is we don't like about the new design.

I hope there is some extension to make the tabs be square-edged. The chrome-tab looking things just look so weird after using Firefox for a decade now, but I am all in favor of getting rid of the confusing Firefox orange button, especially since I know holding alt for menus will still be there.

No surprise here, but almost everything can already be undone with the Classic Theme Restorer add-on for those who don't like the changes. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/

Ever since the upgrade to 25, random images will not appear on the forum, and I can't bookmark threads anymore. Disabling all extensions doesn't help. Any ideas?

I'd first try going to Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled, and if things are working then you'll know its a faulty add-on causing problems, try enabling them one by one until you find the cause. Another thing you can try is getting eCleaner add-on and manually delete any hidden old add-on settings/files you see that you know you don't use anymore, when you remove add-ons they sometimes leave lots of junk behind and sometimes those can cause problems even if you removed said add-on. If all else fails go Help > Troubleshooting Information > Reset Firefox to its default state.

computer parts posted:There's still no unibar by default? Part of the reason the search box is separate from the location bar is so that Google (or whatever your default search provider is) can't see what URL you're typing in. By making them separate, you can still get autocomplete for searches and have a reasonable level of privacy.

I hate it already without having tried it. "Streamlined and organic" my butt.  FRINGE has it right. UI overhauls are 99% marketing bullshit, not necessarily better. I mean honestly, their primary feature is rounded tabs.

Alereon posted:See if disabling FireIE does it, if not try a clean Firefox profile, that is not normal behavior. Also you may not be able to control this but having old video drivers will murder performance on lower-end systems since it disables hardware cceleration. I really can't do without an IE emulator in FF since a few critical work sites only support IE (I know!) but I will look at updating drivers. I have full admin right so it should be doable. By the way, would moving to Pale Moon version of FF be advisable alternative if I wished to revert back to 24?

It's not customisable, and breaks pentadactyl, one of few extensions I use. The only customisation it lets you do is move around the button & addressbar, nothing close to what's there in the current stable Firefox. The new design works fine for basic users (and seems pretty slick to be honest), but it's a step back for power users. I admit I'm an oddball, but I only have tabs and the addonbar visible when using Firefox, with the navigation bar hidden. I hope a workaround can be found.

So my Firefox just got the upgrade to 25.0.1, and now the close tab button is located all the way at the end of the tab bar instead of being visible on the active tab button. Was this supposed to happen? I can't seem to find the about:config option to actually switch it back either.
