Mozilla Firefox Browser Stable Version Releases

That's a shame. I updated to RC this morning. Let's see how this goes now.

 

its just rc1, one or two more to go.

get mozregression to narrow the change that caused the issue.
further - you need to post an example (URL) where it got unresponsive so that this forum can evaluate it. issues need to get reproducible, otherwise there wont be a fix.

 

Here is what I get after I have cleaned my history five times with "Forget 24 hours", plus, five times with "Clear Recent History", after I manually pushed, "Remove all" from MANAGE DATA, after I pushed, Clear Data in Privacy and Security.





What's interesting, when I push the button, Clear Data, after 5 seconds, the "saved" data - cookies - comes back.

 

@zmechys,
In Clear Data and in Clear History, did you tick all boxes?
And were your attempts in any combination with sandboxing and/or clearing browser data with other applications than Firefox? If so, it may be such combination that is messing with data clearing, I think that was mentioned before, a couple of times.

 

Yes, in Clear Data and Clear History all boxes have been checkmarked.
Yes, I'm using Sandboxie for all my browsers, including Firefox.
No other browsers have that kind of issue.
What's more, that issue occurs spontaneously, not on a regular basis.
It has become a "NORMAL" for my Firefox to use twice "Forget 24 hours EVERYTHING" and Clear History twice in order to acquire a "clean sheet" of cookies - no leftovers.
But, from time to time, it's just impossible to remove that data.

 

As mentioned, it may be that combination that is messing with data clearing. I think you'd have the best chance discussing this in the Sandboxie subforum.

 

Seems kinda late for that, most Firefox users are probably already on 108.

 

I just upgraded to Firefox 108.0 in Slackware.

 

I guess I can only speak from my own experience. Every PC in this building was updated. I hope the 108.0.1 build on the FTP is good, I just downloaded it.

 

At least in my country, there are not many websites that escape the adblocker with the required features:

Came across this nugget on my Twit feed: Let's see if it happens,

I assume Firefox Monitor does nothing if you are using a 3rd party password manager?

 

No idea, xxJackxx. I don't use a PM so I would kind of welcome this integration, honestly. When ATT was breached and denied passwords were stolen, I made an intuitive leap and checked Have I Been Pwned. Sure enough, my ATT password was pwned.

 

I'd say if any place you have a logon with is breached you should probably change your password regardless of what they claim. After the recent LastPass hack and denial I would trust nobody on what was taken or wasn't.

 

100% right. I think it would be convenient to have this feature in the browser (provided there's no impact). Hopefully, it's "opt-in."

Yeah, LastPass...a travesty. I'm still wondering if that will come out of this last breach alive. But trust is now poisoned for me a little, in general.

 

Firefox seems to be improving, I'm impressed. Maybe Mozilla are drinking purer drinking water.
