Firefox 4.0 beta packages available

I've built packages of the current Firefox 4.0 beta, if anyone is interested in trying them.
The package is named firefox-beta. It replaces firefox, but not xulrunner.
This is built with a patch so you will get LCD-filtered fonts.
Repo:
[heftig]
Server=http://pkgbuild.com/~heftig/repo/$arch
The package was based on firefox-pgo-beta.
Source is at http://pkgbuild.com/~heftig/firefox-beta . It also hosts trunk builds.

Has anyone gotten vimperator working with Firefox 4.0b? I can't seem to make it work.
I assume I need to use a development version of vimperator as well. I've tried the most recent (e.g., the latest snapshot from here), with Firefox 4 both from the firefox4 and the firefox-pgo-beta packages in AUR with no luck. In particular, while Firefox says that Vimperator is installed, and I restart Firefox, nothing changes. The menu and toolbars are still there, there's no commandline, none of the vimperator keybindings are active. (I've gotten the same results with pentadactyl.)
I'm using Arch x86_64 if that makes any difference.

  • Firefox 1.1 beta now available.

    As the title suggests, Firefox 1.1beta is now available for download. There's a few new features, like zooming with the volume/zoom rocker switch. Screenshots and feature list here: Firefox 1.1 Shots & FL. Download link here: FF Download link.
    Might give it another try sometime.

    Might watch how things develop before I give it another try though.
    I really want Opera to be ported over to Maemo. That was my browser of choice on the N95-8GB. But alas with no Java support as yet...............

  • Why FireFox 4.0 Beta 12 is not printing properly like beta 11 or MS explorer

    After installing FireFox 4.0 Beta 12, any web page that I try to print : the text and style are all different size and no respect of border and justification. But the graphic are intact/Ok.
    Take note that the printing was perfect in version beta 11 and printing the same page work perfectly with Ms explorer. Plus I have 3 printers and none print correctly with this new version. I even try to remove all my add on and no change

    It is not a good idea for most people to install a pre-release nightly builds available from that link. They will get updates for them every day, and though the current ones are stable it is not unusual for the nightly builds to be unstable, and sometimes unusable.

  • I am using Firefox 4.0 Beta 10. It doesn't start immediately after I click on the Firefox button located in my shortcut bar. And sometimes it even doesn't open. I don't know why it occurs, so please look into this matter. Thanks!

    Whenever I click on the button of Firefox 4.0 Beta 10 located in my shortcut bar. It opens after a very long time i.e. after 5-10 minutes after I get irritated and start using Safari. And sometimes it doesn't even open. Please look into this matter. :D
    Thanks

    Try disabling hardware acceleration in your Firefox settings and see if it helps:
    From the Firefox menu, go to '''Options''' and click the '''Advanced''' panel, then select the General tab. Clear the box in front of "Use hardware acceleration when available" so that it is unchecked, then restart Firefox.

  • After downloading Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta to my desktop I restarted the computer, but I do not receive any prompts to create an account with a Secret Password. How do I set up the account if the prompt never show up?

    Several months ago I installed the Firefox Home app on my iPhone to sync the bookmarks that I had on my Windows XP home computer. It has worked just fine until a few days ago. Just recently I was notified that the app would no longer work because of changes that have been made. I have tried to follow the instructions that were emailed to me regarding how to setup the new Firefox Sync add-on, but I am having a problem. After downloading Mozilla Firefox 4.0 Beta to my desktop and restarting my computer, I do not receive any prompts to create an account with a password and a secret phrase, as the instructions specify. How do I set up the account if the prompt never shows up?

    Click on the Firefox button then select Options to open the Options dialog. Now go to the Sync panel for the option to setup a new account.

  • Whenever I open Firefox 4.0 Beta 6, and try to log onto websites like Hotmail, Facebook RuneScape etc. it won't let me... Help?

    Whenever I open Firefox 4.0 Beta 6, and try to long onto websites like Hotmail, Facebook RuneScape etc. it won't let me... I'm finding it frusrtrating and annoying since I cannot use Firefox 4.0 Beta 6. It works on other accounts excluding mine - What is this crap rigged or something? I have to resort to crappy Google Chrome and Safari since it messed up on both of my computers... Here's what it says when I double-click the short-cut: " Could not initialize the application's security component. The most likely cause is problems with files in your application's profile directory. Please check that this directory has no read/write restrictions and your hard disk is not full or close to full. It is recommended that you exit the application and fix the problem. If you continue to use this session, you might see incorrect application behaviour when accessing security features. " Although, it says the way to help - Can you like, dumb it down for me?
    ALSO, here's what it says when I go onto http://runescape.com - It says: An error occurred during a connection to www.runescape.com:443.
    Can't connect securely because the SSL protocol has been disabled.
    (Error code: ssl_error_ssl_disabled)

    See [[Secure Connection Failed]]
    Create a new profile exclusively for the 4.0 beta version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.

  • How do I uninstall Firefox 4.0 Beta 12 and go back to the older vers

    I made a mistake by downloading Firefox 4.0 Beta 12 and I can't work with this version. How do I go back to the older version. I need help quickly as I am unable to print my work. This is bad.

    Firefox 4 is probably the most un-successful "new" Product since the "New Coke Formula" and the Ford Edsel!
    It has been a '''DISASTER''' for me and many I know.
    The cgi order form button on my own website does not work for anyone using Firefox 4.
    Darn annoying and folks take ages ordering, press the button, assume it has gone though, and sadly nothing reaches me. Annoyed clients and large loss of money for me.
    Tonight I tried to book a complicated multi city International itinerary on United Airlines site. Spent 30 minutes getting it right, went right to "Purchase" page and the SAME issue ..... click "BUY" button - and ZILCH.
    Removed Firefox 4, did it all again, and worked fine using Firefox 3.6.
    Thanks Firefox for wasting a good hour of my time tonight.
    Tech boards all over the globe have reported these glitches for quite a while on order buttons, and the geeks there seem to be all asleep.
    Bill Gates must be laughing his head off - and you now have ''Microsoft's VISTA'' on your hands.
    They did not fix that either, and folks still use it as an example of an "UPDATE" that should never have been released as the bugs were never Beta Tested out.

  • Firefox 3.6.13 will not uninstall after I installed Firefox 4.9 beta

    I have Windows XP Pro Service Pack 3. I installed Firefox 4.9 beta and have 2 Firefox browsers (also Firefox 3.6.13). Now I want to uninstall 3.6.13. When I click on uninstall Firefox 3.6.13 from Add/Delete Programs nothing happening - no response. Please help me to resolve this issue.

    You can keep the Firefox 3.6.x version as you may need it to visit websites that do not work properly in the Firefox 4 beta version. Remember that you are using unfinished beta software with know bugs that may not work properly all the time.

    Firefox Mobile 4 beta 3 (and pre-beta 4) fails to install on Archos 101 Tablet using Android 2.1 Eclair with no specific error. Is this a know issue or has someone been able to successfully install?

  • I updated to Firefox 5, "about Firefox" shows the new version in the browser window, but my shortcut buttons still show "Firefox 4.0 Beta 10"

    I updated to Firefox 5, under the help button in the browser "about Firefox" shows the new version, but my shortcut buttons on my monitor still show "Firefox 4.0 Beta 10". Most updates also update the shortcut buttons. Is there a way I can do this?

    I just updated to Firefox 5. About Firefox shows me no version number at all. I had to look at Help > Troubleshooting Information to see the version number.
    Update: I saw the version number after changing themes. I guess it depends on what theme you use.

  • Flash support doesn't work on Firefox 15.0 beta.

    I am using Firefox 15.0 beta on a Samsung Galaxy S3. The "tap to play" rectangle displays normally, but when I tap it, it disappears without revealing any Flash content. Flash works fine in 14.0. I would really appreciate it if anyone could help me! Thanks!

    Update:the latest update has fixed this! Thanks!

  • Is there a standard package available for JAVA for MM in Enterprise Portal

    Hi
    I would like to know if there is a standard package available for JAVA in MM for Enterprise Portal as we want to create purchase requests in the portal and send them to SAP .

    If you want a somewhat more powerful tool (albeit more complicated) check out TOra:
    http://sourceforge.net/projects/tora/
    As an Oracle DBA I've used this at client's sites when I can't pay for PL/SQL Developer to be installed, and it has quite a few useful things built into it. I think that it's going to see a boom in popularity now that Oracle came out with XE.
