    Download the latest nightly build and see what happens when a tab loads...

    I would have posted it here, instead of its own thread, but I wasn't sure if bumping a 3 month old thread would be a good idea. I think that thread should be stickied, or maybe this one could be a thread for general browser news, so people don't need to create a thread everytime there is a new Firefox 3.5.6 or Chrome 4.145.34.

    So what happens?

    And is that a full release or a Beta/Alpha build?

    Also what I like about the 3.7 nighties is that it opens tabs next to the tab you clicked the link on. Opera, Chrome, and IE already did this.

    And this is the new change:

    I believe the OP is referring to the fact that the loading "circle" is replaced by little clocks?

    Well, I do enjoy the timer icon thing at the top of each newly opened tab. I actually now know how long it takes for a page to load instead of waiting in excitement! :D

    Oh and minefield hasn't crashed on me...yet.

    Such as patching those ever-present memory leaks :rolleyes:

    Cool, but I prefer Opera's loading bar built into the address bar - visual cues and detailed information.

    3.7 gets jumplist support :D And also it seems to have gotten a speed increase. The latest build is much faster than builds from days ago.

    Finally! They've been a bit slow in adding jumplist support. When is 3.7 slated to be released again? Q1 2010?
