Mozilla now has Firefox 1.5 final available at http://www.mozilla.com/
Sweet :)
ping
I downloaded it, and my scroll bar no longer exists. That is a MAJOR negative, especially at this site.
Scroll bar.
That should have a question mark on it - "Scroll bar?" As in, can you elaborate a bit? :)
It's gone in the new Firefox. To get to the bottom of this thread, I have to use my mousewheel repeatedly or hope that someone has recently posted to me where I can get to it by a link.
I assume it's also gone for applications like word processing as well, which pretty much makes is useless to me.
I'm either going to have to uninstall this version, if I can, or use System Restore to get rid of it.
Obviously, there are still some bugs.
Chrome problem. Before you wipe it out, go to the theme manager and have it check for updates to your themes. If it finds any for your current theme, restart the browser after it downloads the updates. If there are no updates to your current theme, try switching back to the default theme and restarting the browser.
Similar here. The scroll bar seems to disappear if the window is not maximized.
The mouse wheel scrolls. But the missing scroll bar is not good design.
Thank you!
Glad I could help, although honestly I'm not sure I provided much help :)
If you reduce the FF window size, does your scroll bar disappear? Mine does. It only shows in maximized window.
I posted a message in the FF forum about that. Will see if I get any response.
I don't see any difference in this version from the previous one, though. Perhaps I should look for the release notes...
I think most of the substantial changes are under the hood, so to speak. You can drag and drop tabs to re-order them now, but other than that, I haven't noticed much in the way of new bells and whistles...
#70 doesn't work for me, because I don't use 'themes'.
I use the FF basic design. Tried to update it, thought. No update available.
FF forum has several posts complaining about the disappearing scroll bars.
The only 'solution' offered is: It is a themes problem.
Ok, but I don't do themes. So---it is an FF design problem.
I didn't have any complaint with the previous version, so I'm not sure it's worth the time to download the newer beta version.
Now you have a perfect excuse to start - might fix the disappearing scrollbar problem :)
I like the Noia Extreme theme myself - give it a whirl and see if you find one you like:
