Firefox's massive overhaul moves to beta

Finally support for HTTP Public Key Pinning
Btw, you can already test websites for HPKP with the new version of SSL Labs Server test.

 

Does FF have a sandbox per tab and other schemes similar to Chrome yet?

I used FF for years and once they get that up and running I plan to give it a serious look see.

 

Electrolysis is coming:

Can't wait to hear the good old song "But it broke my addons" after they final that and release it to public.

 

You can count on it Seriously, it will be a big change and may require significant changes in addons. Hopefully at least the big players will be ready.

 

Security/Sandbox (wiki): https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Sandbox
(now implemented in 'Nightly' builds - must have e10's enabled.)
GHacks has a good writeup on it.

 

Its here now (multi-process), in Nightly 37.0a1.

I am testing Nightly now, three of my four extensions work properly. NoScript, Adblock plus and Classic Theme Restorer seem to be working fine. Video Download helper is not working at all in YouTube. The browser feels fine, it crashed the first time I tried it for downloading something (CCleaner). Two plugin containers get to run.

firefox v35 in all betas work smooth with nearly 40 add-ons. the next big break to addons will come with v37. there exists a list which are broke or not - its all about e10s --> http://arewee10syet.com/

bo - pls dont mix up your xp/sandbox with firefox here, this is to special.

 

What you mean, Brummelchen? If you mean not to mix up SBIE and Nightly, the reason I posted the picture of Sandboxie control was to show the two instances of plugin container that I saw running with Nightly. By the way, I also tested it in W7, it was fine. Small problems.

thank you. i mean that sometimes firefox behave different in a box.

 

I did install Nightly in the system under Shadow defender, using a new profile. It ran really well in and out of the sandbox. Surprisingly, when run sandboed, it was fine too. Same experience on both computers, XP and W7 32 bits.

I have 4 extensions, all worked well except video download helper. NoScript is in the list that you posted as having bugs but as far as I could tell, it worked fine. Same with Adblock plus and Classic theme restorer. The browser crashed the first time that I tested downloading something and there was something else that I noticed but cant remember now what it was. Running the browser felt good.

I've noticed something strange. When you disable JavaScript on Google.com with No Script, it seems to always reload the Google site, so it looks like it doesn't block scripting in real-time, anybody else noticed this? I also use Adblock Plus and Ghostery.

 

iceweasel what the hell is an iceweasel ?

 

I have a question, does anybody know of some extension with the ability to block the installation of other extensions? I forgot the name, I used it months ago on some other machine.

Did anybody check this? Just disable JS on Google.com (with No Script) and run some search, you will see that the page quickly reloads. Or wait a minute, is it perhaps Google that is redirecting the page because they see that JS is turned off?
