Mozilla Firefox Browser Stable Version Releases

hi
i have update firefox to 55.0.3 from a while , i haven't added extension
but today only under w7 it does apear a new icon "firefox screenshots"
it doesn't happen under w8 or w10 , have you noticed?
it's very weird , no extensions installed no about:config edited , it just appeared
thanks

 

I thought it was still a Test Pilot feature, but it seems not: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-screenshots

I don't see it yet, on FF 55.0.3.

 

Mantra, I seen that icon in Firefox 57 but not in 55.0.3. I tested Firebox 57 in W10.

firefox contains several so called "system addons", screenshot is one of them. (like pocket). its available in context menu, maybe with customize as a button.

screenshot has to be present on all windows, either you have tweaked your profile, about:config or ctr or similar.

current list 55.0.3

v57

 

Sorry to be dumb, but where do I access this?

Not that I am aware of ...

 

Firefox v56 will be released very soon.
Small summary of changes - Firefox 56.0: find out what is new

 

What I immediately notice is that the drop down menus for Ublock-O, HTTPS Everywhere and Privacy Badger are displaying properly again

 

I've been using Nightly and have found suitable solutions for all the add-ons I want. So far it's working out great for me. Guess I did all the worrying for nothing.

My FF 56 is crashing almost instantly in Private Browsing Mode every time I open it.

Anyone else ??

Weird. Any suggested explanation for why this is happening only in Private Browsing Mode??

 

No problem for me. Now posting using FF56 in private browsing mode

 

Thanks @NiteRanger

Guess I'm using an extension that's doin' it. But still a mystery why only in PB Mode.

 

Nope. OK here. Try Help>Restart with Add-ons Disabled?

 

Anyone using Xmarks add-on with FF 56?

Xmarks 4.4.1 no longer working for me on two machines.

Edit: Support responded in 5 mins!

We're sorry for the inconvenience.

Please try to update it to 4.5.0.1a - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/xmarks-sync/versions/beta
Uninstall the current version first and reboot before installing the updated version.

Will test it shortly.

Edit 1: Initially it duplicated my Bookmarks Toolbar bookmarks, but I've managed to fix it and it's working OK now.

Edit 2: Ditched it. Too buggy.

 

Just curious why you're using Xmarks now that bookmarks can be synced with Firefox Sync?

 

Did that @paulderdash (Truth be known, FF did that for me as it defaults to safe mode after a certain number of crashes on starting.)

Was fine but is also fine in normal mode when not using PB Mode.

 

Can sync to Chrome also - that was my original reason anyway.

I prefer 'cloudmarking' actually (Google Bookmarks, Diigo) but I use it mainly to sync my Bookmarks Toolbar.

Edit: Ditched Xmarks 4.5.0.1a beta. Too buggy. Just Firefoxc Sync now .

 

Umm - Anyone have Netflix and FF 56 ?

Netflix won't play for me.

NE1 Else ??

 

Yep, I have 56 and just watched Netflix for an hour or two. No problems. I did however, have issues with Hulu on 56, it wouldn't do Hulu video until I forced Flash always on. Then it played Hulu. No Netflix problems though... I'm on Win 7 if that matters...
