Am I the only one not seeing it on the ftp? I'm not going crazy, right? It was removed. You guys must've downloaded it before it was removed. I looked under win32/en-US, and nothing! I looked under update/win32/en-US, and nothing!

Anyone know of an extension for moving the status bar to the top of the screen? Is that even possible? Like say under the location bar or bookmarks bar? I always thought it would be cool to have the status bar at the top.

Fission allows you to have it to the right of the address bar itself, but the addon is mainly for the safari style.

Yeah, I know about Fission. I just was messing around with it recently. Doesn't it only move the progress bar, though? I'm looking to move the entire status bar to the top. I don't see why this isn't a customization feature built into Firefox. Maybe it's hard to implement.

Dammit, you can't select tabs anymore - to evaluate - in 3.1 you could click on a tab and you would see the little selections square on the tab and then with the arrow keys you could go left and right switching tabs. Quite neat if you are reading manga / porn. :(

Does anybody use Nightly Tester Tools with these betas?

I do. I had plenty of crashes whenever I go to a specific site. So I disabled some add-ons. After that, it's all stable. Can't tell which add-ons though that made it crashed :(

So I guess you just have to try and see if the add-ons that you are using are compatible.

NOTE: This is on 3.1 Beta 3 though

Thanks for that, I will try it :) As long as it's not harmful to my computer or will not corrupt my Firefox profile - those were my main concerns :)

I lost access to my Clippings extension that worked in 3.1b3

That's the main reason I asked about the Nightly Tester Tools. I don't think I can do without Clippings to be honest. I think it took a while to be updated for beta 3 didn't it?

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
