I'm using version of 49.0.1and after some tweaking got multi-core support enabled, but now I can not seem to copy/paste (randomly per site) and my add-on Clipe which allows me to store multiple items on the clipboard will not paste anything except the latest entry. I am also having issue when I search via Google (or other search engine) when I click on t he link nothing  happens, I have to right click- open in new tab in order to get it to work. These issues did not start until I enabled the multi-core support. Should I go ahead and disable it and see if the issue(s) are resolved?

You mean multi-process (aka e10s), right?

All add ons have to be compatible. I just read yesterday that it is best not to force it in Fx 49.0.1. It will work better with Firefox's Beta fx 50 B6.

Force Enable

If you've tried enabling e10s following the instruction above, but your about:support indicates that e10s is disabled (e.g., accessibility, add-ons can trigger this), you can force e10s on for testing purposes. Within about:config create a new boolean pref named browser.tabs.remote.force-enable and set it to true. This is not encouraged, use it at your own risk!

That's... a lot of extensions. Have you tried disabling them all and seeing if the issue still exists? If the issue doesn't persist after disabling all extensions you'll know it's one of them causing it. You can then try enabling them one-by-one (restarting Firefox each time you enable an extension and retesting) and retesting for the issue until you come upon the culprit.

 

Personally, I keep both my Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Vivaldi, etc. light with the bare minimum of extensions and I never encounter browser issues like crashes and copying and pasting not working.

Only 4 of my add-ons are e10 compatible. :( Guess I'll undo what I did to force it, since it's not acting right.

That is unfortunate. I only run a few add-ons and can get by without them if need be, so e10s are a welcomed addition. I remember when e10s were first introduced into the nightly builds many moons ago, those were some buggy times until extensions started to update their code. I just periodically check that website to see if any new extensions pop up or any updates, i do have one or two that are not compatible that i would still like to use.

    • You will soon have fewer reasons to open Control Panel in Windows 11

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      You will soon have fewer reasons to open Control Panel in Windows 11 by Taras Buria Good news: more Control Panel bits are making their way to the Settings app, giving you fewer reasons to use the legacy UI that Microsoft buried deep inside its operating system. This time, the company is migrating certain clock-related settings, giving them a more modern look in the Settings app. The upgraded Settings app now lets you enable additional clocks in the notification center and adjust AM/PM indicators. These features work the same as they do in the legacy Control Panel: you can enable up to two additional clocks for two extra time zones and name them as you wish. Thanks to the redesign, the UI for setting up additional clocks supports dark and light themes, bigger UI elements, and improved accessibility. The same goes for the AM/PM indicators: you can customize them in Settings > Time & Language > Language & Region > Regional Format. Other Control Panel bits that recently made their way to the Settings app include some keyboard settings. Microsoft has not confirmed any of those changes yet, so stand by for announcements in future preview builds. Speaking of preview builds, this week, Microsoft released a new Canary build with improved context menus, taskbar changes, new accessibility features, and more. Check out the full release notes here.

      Everything 1.4.1.1028 by Razvan Serea "Everything" is search engine that locates files and folders by filename instantly for Windows. Unlike Windows search "Everything" initially displays every file and folder on your computer (hence the name "Everything"). You type in a search filter to limit what files and folders are displayed. "Everything" only indexes file and folder names and generally takes a few seconds to build its database. A fresh install of Windows 10 (about 120,000 files) will take about 1 second to index. 1,000,000 files will take about 1 minute. "Everything" will run on Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10 and Windows 11. NTFS indexing requires the Everything service or running "Everything" as administrator. What is the Lite version of "Everything"? The Lite version of Everything is the same as the normal multilingual version of Everything, except it has some features removed: Removed ETP/FTP Server. Removed HTTP Server. Removed IPC. The Command line interface / ES will not work with the Lite version. The SDK will not work with the Lite version. Windows accessibility features and screen readers will not work with the Lite version. Everything 1.4.1.1028 changes: fixed a crash when getting help text from a context menu item that throws an exception. updated localization. "Everything" is Freeware. If you use "Everything" in a commercial environment and find it useful a donation would be appreciated.

      So you just don't like the statement? That's completely different than the statement not being true. And one doesn't have to be "full of hate" to acknowledge a cow is, in fact, a cow.

      They are trying to pretend there is demand for this crap. That it's for special, wealthy, niche customers only right now. You know, the Apple marketing model.

      Allow all task bar elements on all monitors, allow us to move around any taskbar element. When in Desktop mode, separate the icons in the system tray area only combine them when in touch mode.
