To clear this up:

8.How do I capitalize Firefox? How do I abbreviate it?

Only the first letter is capitalized (so it's Firefox, not FireFox.) The preferred abbreviation is "Fx" or "fx".

Source

But this is from the Firefox 1.5 release notes, early in the development of Firefox. Note that it says preferred. Regardless, it does not matter what the abbreviation for Firefox is.

Anyway, thanks for the heads up. I updated through the software update.

It has, it is and always will be "FF". Sorry.

Wrong. It has been "Fx" since the name was changed to Firefox, at least among the community here and in the Mozilla community. Before that it was "Px" and "Fb" when the names were Phoenix and Firebird, respectively. As far as "always will be," they've changed the name twice before so I wouldn't be so quick to claim that with such certainty.

You should be calling Firefox... Firefox. Your analogy reminds me of the people who actually use "LOL" as a word in spoken conversation.

Ah hell they added favicons and folder icons to the bookmark toolbar in OS X. I liked it without them. I wanted Chrome without them and now the icons are in FF too. :(

You should be able to use the same script we Windows users use in Stylish or in your userChrome.css to remove them.

Touch has worked well in FF for a while. unless something new that I didn't know about was just implemented. That is entirely possible. Chrome has about the worst support for touch out of all browsers.

Apparently I missed it, but multitouch features have been added. Nice demo they had. Digging FF4 beta 3. Looks great, quite speedy.

I got an email from Mozilla about a Test day that is occuring this Friday, the 13th. Looks like Tab Candy should be ready by the end of this week.

I'm not sure I believe that, or at the very least they'd have to have a much looser definition of ready than I do, because the build I tried from just a few days ago STILL had a black wherever there was supposed to be glass. However, if they manage to fix that and release it by Friday there will be much rejoicing.

Just call it "F" then since it's one word. Please stick to the topic of the Beta 3 release.

This thread is redundant, anyway. You might consider merging it with the Firefox 4.0 beta thread that's been ongoing for weeks @ https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/896934-meet-firefox-40-beta-3/page__pid__593019490__st__1440entry593019490

Using any custom themes or such? The main issues with Aero Glass got fixed before Beta 1 branched.

Edit: I actually think there is some issue with Direct3D Layers and Aero Glass, but nobody's currently using that since it involves setting environment variables before you launch Firefox.

    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
    • with LSTC and ESU, moving to w11 or linux because w10 suddenly will not work when in reality it works and its a better choice, of course there are also developers that only test in 11 or force you to have TPM and Secure boot for the sake of "better security" in games. or most likely people is buying new PC that only ship with 11
    • with LTSC and ESU there are still viable as a stable platform not that they care and let people deal with w11 crashing and burning every month support mean shet if the platform is trash
    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.
