Is anyone having issues with flash player in 64-bit right now, ever since it hit 13a flash player has acted weird for me with some vids not showing up with only sound playing. I reinstalled flash player too.

If you mean in 64bit windows 7 , then yeah ... same here!

I thought for a while it was Adblock + playing up , or even a combo of that with NoScript but after uninstalling/installing I came to the conclusion it was neither!

Gone back to Aurora for the time being until it's sorted out.

In my nightly shockwaves applications don't load. I didn't troubleshoot with a new profile, i use chromium for those sites, but when i upgraded my aurora and beta installs i noticed that those sites worked there.

I finally figured out that you can pin bookmarks to the new tab page but does anyone else have the following problems:

1. Thumbnails for the sites don't display. Each pinned site just shows the default grey box instead of a thumbnail preview of the website.

2. Whenever I close/restart Nightly, all of my pinned bookmarks disappear.

1. can be fixed by visiting that site so that the thumbnail service can store its preview..

Was wondering if someone could please help me with a problem I've been having for a while. Firefox, or Nightly 13 to be more specific, isn't asking to remember passwords. I have the option to 'remember passwords' enabled but it still won't ask for any sites. I'm trying to make it remember a password for a specific site (not anything important like email or banking that may block an attempt to do so) but I can't for the life of me get it to prompt to remember password. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Certain websites have additional coding that disables the prompt to remember passwords for security reasons. Most of these sites are like financial or shopping sites. All MS websites have it disabled as well. But I am pretty sure there are still some workarounds if you search for them.

EDIT: Nevermind, I've fixed the problem. Had to delete two files (signons.sqlite and key3) in my 'Profiles' folder to get it to work.

It's also down to how the password manager detects forms (Without getting too technical, it only detects login forms generated by the server, or ones that use normal submission methods)

It's why Firefox can't pick up login forms on wallbase (client generated login form) or Steam (submission done through JavaScript), etc.

If you are not afraid about security you can use userscript:

"Allow Password Remembering"

      I'm not sure about that, but it at least "does" a version of 7.1 that this brand new card doesn't....

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features

      By WaltC · Posted

      I can barely recall getting web results from a file search... I must've turned it off long ago. 26H2 is Insider's Preview build 26300.8697, which I am running, atm. It is not available for people running the standard commercial builds of Windows--only for the beta test Insider's group. But anyway, as mentioned in the thread, this feature has been around for a long time...

      Speak for yourself. I saw it on Feedly, came here to read it, and did read it until the steps to activate. I skipped them to read the last paragraph. I knew it was probably not "the most requested feature", but knowing Neowin, I knew the article was going to talk about a feature nonetheless. I've seen Neowin in its best and worst.
    • I restored the default settings to Secure Boot. Big mistake

      See if this article I wrote the other day works for you.
