Mozilla Firefox Browser Stable Version Releases

Updated to FF 40.0.3 and it's working well. And since I updated Palemoon also and with both browsers working well it's like I'm torn between 2 lovers.

 

JRViego, Thanks for the reminder. I am aware, but always flinch for a second when I see the title.

 

Hi JR, thanks, still seeing v38.2.0 here at the moment.

 

Thanks for that info JR I must confess that I've an even earlier ESR version here, and will probably update it as you advise. All the best Dermot

 

hi

is there a way to add an exception for a site and exclude it from Unwanted Software Protection (powered by google?)


thanks

 

Another serious bug that's fixed in the latest FF version:

Firefox 41 removes plugins.enumerable_names; from the about:config

Anyone using the plugin to block enumeration should notice that it no longer works, even if you add this back to the config. At present, the only way to prevent enumeration that I'm aware of is to change plugin.default,state from 1 to 0; effectively disabling plugins by default.

 

plugins.enumerable_names has no value except a star on ESR 38.21 on my setup. If I use Random Agent Spoofer to disable the setting, it becomes bold with no value. Is it non-functional already?

Edit: https://github.com/dillbyrne/random-agent-spoofer/issues/283

Plugin detection still requires javascript, so NoScript will still do the job on any site you meet on random surfing.

 

@Techwiz: Thanks for pointing this out.

@Kobayashi maru:https://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-esr38/source/modules/libpref/init/all.js#2309

Code:

// A comma-delimited list of plugin name prefixes matching plugins that will be
// exposed when enumerating navigator.plugins[]. For example, prefix "Shockwave"
// matches both Adobe Flash Player ("Shockwave Flash") and Adobe Shockwave
// Player ("Shockwave for Director"). To hide all plugins from enumeration, use
// the empty string "" to match no plugin names. To allow all plugins to be
// enumerated, use the string "*" to match all plugin names.
pref("plugins.enumerable_names", "*");

 

Firefox 41 feels same.
Norton Toolbar disabled due to > Removed support for binary XPCOM components in extensions.

 

Thank you.

The feature checks google for the sites you visit and is a privacy/tracking issue.
