Welcome to the ninth hotfix build of Geckium Public Beta 1!

Updating Geckium?

To update Geckium, simply delete your Firefox Profile's chrome folder (use about:support to find your Firefox Profile per the instructions on Geckium's README), and then copy the below Public Beta 1.9.1 ZIP file's Profile Folder -> chrome folder in its place, before finally closing and opening Firefox.

Full Changelog: b0.20.8...b0.20.9

Geckium is in an Early Beta stage

Non-English-speaking Geckium users may find parts of Geckium's user interface are written in [!!! ƥƨèúδôℓôçáℓè !!!] - this means there hasn't yet been a translation for that string in your language - if you see any, please fork the repository, translate the dtd/properties files in locale accordingly, then send a Pull Request to this repository containing the localised strings!

Aside from having incomplete localisation for non-English Geckium users, please remember that due to Geckium being in an Early Beta state, there are many things missing from Geckium currently, including:

  • Material Design 1 (or 58, is incomplete and seriously buggy)
  • Floating Bookmarks Bar has a buggy background that is either incorrect or is misaligned with the new tab background
  • Misc. Downloads Shelf behaviour such as dragging a download
  • Error Pages, such as phishing
  • Styling for the Downloads page
  • Geckium and Firefox Updates from the About dialog/page (Geckium's current update checker is a placeholder until a better, automated, update experience is implemented in the future)
  • Profile Titlebar Button
  • Preventing the Downloads popup from appearing when downloading a file

These are all planned to be added in future Beta releases.

Please report bugs in the Issues tab of this repository.
