    I think we talk about this before, Rasheed. I don't see what you see. I don't have google.com whitelisted, the only time that I see the google search page reload is after temporarily allowing the page.

    @ bo elam

    Yes correct, I never saw this on Opera 12, so I think it's weird. It also only happens once per session. I will try to do some testing without the other extensions, and also with all extensions turned off.

    I have a question about Firefox though!, and I've often wondered why this is, and that's how come you still have to manually install Adobe Flash Player for some pages? I would have thought by now that they would have included it :confused:

    I don't know the answer but I prefer they keep it that way. I really really don't want automatic updates or the browser being designed to automatically check for updates every time you run it. Or having to update the browser just because a new flash version got released. Also, I don't install Flash in the real system in both of my computers, I only install it in the computer that I use for viewing Flash content. So, I prefer to keep handling Flash as I am used to which is something that I ll probably couldn't do if Flash came with Firefox.:)

    Fair Comment :) Some webpages I visit often ask to update Flash to view content, Generally in this case I use IE 11, It proves less hassle. One comment though :doubt: Does Firefox not Auto update anyway? Whilst installing it I noticed the option to enable or disable via custom installation. Also Flash wont Auto update if you disable that option

    Yes, you can set Firefox not to update automatically. I have Firefox set to never check for updates. But, probably, if Flash came with Firefox, that option would change. My guess is that Mozilla would get rid of the Update option and make automatic updates the norm. I wouldn't like that.

    Video plays fine here, Rasheed. If you are using NoScript, allow brightcove and dailymail.

    35.0: you can finally enable Developer Edition's minimalist theme in the stable version!

    about:config

    browser.devedition.theme.enabled >>> true

    This enables the dev edition theme.

    +

    devtools.theme >>> light or dark

    You can choose a light or a dark theme.

    Result
