Firefox 8 Is Out

Post by anthonymel » Tue Nov 08, 2011 5:32 pm

Just a heads up. Also, there are a few new settings in Firefox 8 that deal with plugins and prompts to make changes. You might also want to update the ADM files while your at it.

These two settings will be needed in Firefox 8 for anyone using the Packager to include extensions.

extensions.shownSelectionUI=true (disables addon disable on update check)
extensions.autoDisableScopes=11 (excludes appdir addons from autodisable checking on install)

DraconPern did you also update the ADM policy settings with this new release? Does it need to be updated for the new way Firefox handles add-ons?

DarconPern one more thing. The Firefox tab color, in the top left hand corner, is now a dark blue which represents the nightly build line. The final build is orange. This may confuse users. Is there a way for me to change that. Or could you re-release with this change. I now it's silly but people will notice this. Thanks!

I know this has to be a pain for you guys. I don't understand the drive to switch to this fast-versioning trend... Seems like version 7 was released only yesterday.

This is near madness. Chrome pulls this stuff too. I can't tell you how many times they update to a new version then a few days later another update comes out. It's like saying "Hey we don't test anything"

Can´t find these settings:

extensions.shownSelectionUI=true (disables addon disable on update check)
extensions.autoDisableScopes=11 (excludes appdir addons from autodisable checking on install)

should there be a new .adm template or where can i find these settings ?`

Any idea to fix the blue Firefox tab in the upper left hand corner?

For the blue firefox tab, you can modify the browser.css that is placed in the chrome/browser/skin/classic folder. There are two of them, one in the aero folder, and the other under the browser folder. All I did is replace the browser.css with stock version extracted from the omni.jar, but I think this is what you need to change specifically for the button.
From:

Code: Select all

#appmenu-button {
  background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(hsl(211,33%,32%), hsl(209,53%,10%) 95%);
  border-color: hsla(210,59%,13%,.9);
  box-shadow: 0 1px 0 hsla(210,48%,90%,.15) inset,
              0 0 2px 1px hsla(211,65%,85%,.15) inset;
}
#appmenu-button:hover:not(:active):not([open]) {
  background-image: -moz-radial-gradient(center bottom, farthest-side, hsla(210,48%,90%,.5) 10%, hsla(210,48%,90%,0) 70%),
                    -moz-radial-gradient(center bottom, farthest-side, hsla(211,70%,83%,.5), hsla(211,70%,83%,0)),
                    -moz-linear-gradient(hsl(211,33%,32%), hsl(209,53%,10%) 95%);
  border-color: hsla(210,59%,13%,.9);
  box-shadow: 0 1px 0 hsla(210,48%,90%,.15) inset,
              0 0 2px 1px hsla(210,48%,90%,.4) inset,
              0 -1px 0 hsla(210,48%,90%,.2) inset;
}
#appmenu-button:hover:active,
#appmenu-button[open] {
  background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(hsl(211,33%,26%), hsl(209,53%,6%) 95%);
  box-shadow: 0 2px 3px rgba(0,0,0,.4) inset,
              0 1px 1px rgba(0,0,0,.2) inset;
}
To:

Code: Select all

#appmenu-button {
  background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(rgb(247,182,82), rgb(215,98,10) 95%);
  border-color: rgba(83,42,6,.9);
  box-shadow: 0 1px 0 rgba(255,255,255,.25) inset,
              0 0 0 1px rgba(255,255,255,.25) inset;
}
#appmenu-button:hover:not(:active):not([open]) {
  background-image: -moz-radial-gradient(center bottom, farthest-side, rgba(252,240,89,.5) 10%, rgba(252,240,89,0) 70%),
                    -moz-radial-gradient(center bottom, farthest-side, rgb(236,133,0), rgba(255,229,172,0)),
                    -moz-linear-gradient(rgb(246,170,69), rgb(209,74,0) 95%);
  border-color: rgba(83,42,6,.9);
  box-shadow: 0 1px 0 rgba(255,255,255,.1) inset,
              0 0 2px 1px rgba(250,234,169,.7) inset,
              0 -1px 0 rgba(250,234,169,.5) inset;
}
#appmenu-button:hover:active,
#appmenu-button[open] {
  background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(rgb(246,170,69), rgb(209,74,0) 95%);
  box-shadow: 0 2px 3px rgba(0,0,0,.4) inset,
              0 1px 1px rgba(0,0,0,.2) inset;
}

Thanks but why was this release different than the last 4 releases? Also, modifying that CSS file for 1500 users is something I don't like to think about. Is there a why I can do this to the MSI before I deploy?
