Firefox 4 Beta 12 Released; Fixes Over 650 Bugs

Posted by Roblimo on from the less-memory-leakage-makes-a-big-difference dept.

darthcamaro writes "At last! Firefox 4 Beta 12 is now available. There are over 650 bug fixes in this massive update including a fix for a memory leak that kept Firefox consuming RAM even without opening new tabs. The other big thing that many users have asked for is that FINALLY, when you hover over a link, the URL is displayed in the status bar, instead of the location bar."

    Replying to myself, since I just installed the update...

    Basically as of Beta 12 they're imitating Chrome. If you hover over a link, a little pop-up displaying the link's URL appears at the bottom of the window.

    Like Chrome does. It just puts a little textbox showing the URL in the bottom.

    It's a much better solution than what they were doing - I'm glad they changed it.
