Mozilla CEO resigns, opening the door for more changes for Firefox August 29, 2019 https://www.cnet.com/news/mozilla-ceo-resigns-opening-the-door-for-more-changes-for-firefox/
Finally, it's about time. I hope a better CEO will soon fix all of the stupid flaws in Firefox. Mozilla made a mess out of Firefox Quantum. Yes, the new Gecko/Servo engine is pretty good, but the interface is still stuck in the stone ages and they keep annoying you about browser updates.
And BTW, they can't even develop a secure browser, look at this ridiculous bug. I do wonder if this also applies to Lockwise? https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2019-24/ https://lockwise.firefox.com
anyhow it was a 0-day exploit and fixed in the same time. people who dont know about 0-day and how to build their own browser should better su. i have my special view to it and until now noone (of stuff or close-to-stuff) denied. https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/which-browser-after-cyberfox.420174/
Upcoming Firefox update will decrease power usage on macOS by up to three times Two years after Firefox Quantum's release, Mozilla devs said they fixed Firefox's battery-draining problem September 2, 2019 https://www.zdnet.com/article/upcom...e-power-usage-on-macos-by-up-to-three-times/#
Mozilla to gradually enable DNS-over-HTTPS for Firefox US users later this month September 7, 2019 https://www.zdnet.com/article/mozil...-https-for-firefox-us-users-later-this-month/
This means that malware would have also been able to steal those passwords. And I wonder if Lockwise was also involved, because this is supposed to be a new and improved password manager. No, that's why I'm not a browser developer, what kind of dumb question is that.
only a reaction on your stupid opinion i cited above you cant do better so its time to be quiet about, simple as that.
The point is that I'm not a browser developer, so I don't NEED to be able to do it better. I'm also not a baker, or movies director, but according to your dumb way of thinking, I can't criticize the quality of movies or bread. You need to start working on your logic, it's clearly not your strongest point LOL.
Mozilla's Firefox Test Pilot Program relaunches with a 'Private Network' extension Try out the Private Network extension for free during the beta period September 10, 2019 https://www.engadget.com/2019/09/10/firefox-test-pilot-private-network/
Can anyone tell me why FF has a new look and all my toolbar shortcuts are missing? I really don't know all those by heart in order to reconstruct the list, luckily I do remember wilders. And, all my add-ons are gone. Never mind, I was able to Restore an old backup copy which is not much different than the one that disappeared when FF forced me to create a new profile. But I now cannot download the latest Privazer update file (3.0.77) or any pdf files.
Mozilla launches paid premium support for enterprise customers September 12, 2019 https://www.neowin.net/news/mozilla-launches-paid-premium-support-for-enterprise-customers
duh? Firefox is looking same as version 57 arrived. which was your last version? current is now v69 so "quantum" is now 1,5 years old with only slightly changes. using portable? wrong installation folder? means new profile! no blind guessing please!
I can't download the latest Privazer update file (3.0.77) or any pdf files. Can this be due to the Private Browsing setting? I need to be able to download legitamate files such as the Privazer, Libre Office etc. updates plus accounting pdfs.
They now want to start selling this ****. This is probably the problem. Only very interesting would be to know if the paid **** is better than the current one.
could be a profile problem at all, exe (privazer), pdf/more. or your installed antivirus?! too much variables. "privazer" is not available as extension (my first though) https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/search/?platform=windows&q=privazer The problem - it can cause your issues, thats why cleaners any kind are not recommended, not for windows and even not for firefox. i assume a damage profile and suggest you to drop privazer and create a new profile create a new profile http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows or http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_Manager This article explains how to selectively transfer Firefox user data and settings to a new Firefox profile http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
The problem has to be Firefox, I can download the files using IE. FF has already forced me to create the new profile you speak of and that's the one preventing downloads. I don't think it's fair to also force me to go into the bowels of the profile to make downloads possible again. But thanks, I'll look at your suggestions.
We don't know almost anything about your setup: your system, Firefox version etc. Yet, we see something strange - Firefox changed look on your PC lately, but there were no look changes in the previous versions for rest of us, which means you may have very outdated Firefox installation. Don't be surprised when you don't follow updates closely and something breaks when you finally do update. I understand skipping one version, but skipping like 10 or 12 versions in a row is a big no-no.
Mozilla will release a new Firefox version every 4 weeks from 2020 on https://www.ghacks.net/2019/09/17/m...w-firefox-version-every-4-weeks-from-2020-on/
Sounds ridiculous to me. And I assume they will keep nagging you about these updates? My view is that newer isn't always better. I don't see myself switching back to Firefox, eventhough the new Servo browsing engine is pretty good.
