Good stuff in this update especially the secure search, but the thing I was looking forward to the most I can't find (click to play) can someone tell me where it's hiding?

 

I searched for plugins.click_to_play in about:config.

 

Is click to play supposed to be enabled by default? Having upgraded over v13 and having noscript installed it was set to disabled by default.

 

I think it's still "experimental" and so is not enabled by default.

 

To enable click to play:

" ... type about:config into the Address Bar and click the warning button, then type “click” into the Search box. Finally, double-click plugins.click_to_play from the list to change its state from False to True. "

about:config voids the warranty

 

Odd, I was under the impression that option was in earlier versions of Firefox and this version would bring it as a stable option in the options menu, maybe I misunderstood something. Thanks for the how-to though!

 

Voiding Warranties since 1995

 

Ah, v14. Look how far Firefox has come over the years. Version 14, can you believe it? It seems like it was just such a short time ago that we were all excited about version 4 being released. Do you still remember? *reminisces* Ah yes, the battle of the browsers. Boy, what they say about time going by faster as you get older really is true. Ah, I'm feeling all nostalgic here...

Wait a second! V4 was released last year!

 

LOL - don't let the increasing speed of browser upgrades make you feel old.

And FYI Waterfox 14 should be available this weekend.

 

With specific regard to the new click-to-play, anyone know if there's any way to get it to remember your permissions for a given site, or at least web-page? It's a nuisance to have to re-authorize on every return visit.

 

one way is shown as in the attached pic.

another way is type in aboutermissions in url bar

 

Here we go again ,theme doesnt work any more , default icons are so small they just as well leave them out all together (they are the same size if you tick small icons in customise except spacing between them is greater).At the beginning i thought ,wow the mozilla devs are working so hard improving firefox..now i think why are they messing with it all the time

 

Yawn.

Firefox 14 - Annoy me some more, i.e. failure

Drama on the Internet: a negative review of Firefox 14, highlighting the numerous shortcomings in the latest release features, including privacy problems with address bar autocomplete, new default theme with old branding, default HTTPS search on Google that does not work on non-dot-com (.com) domains, removal of Site Identity colors and replacement with confusing gray-only icons, and more. When upper management goes crazy!

I don't get default https for google.com searches.*I wonder why. Is it also a "feature" with the
Linux versions ?

 

Mrkvonic, https is still shown by default. It is only http that is hidden.

Is your homepage set to google.co.uk or about:home? When searching in Google on about:home or the Search Bar, I am sent to https://www.google.ie.
