What happens if you switch to "Release" from the most up to date nightly?

And how do you get back to "Nightly" if you selected something else?

we can change the channel , so we can get back to nightly by changing the channel

also , if u choose release , IMO latest stable version will be downloaded , but i think that will lead to complications due to diff profiles etc , so i guess maybe just a link to final version would be given and update process would be manual (?)

IIRC in chrome, if you switch from dev to stable, you won't get any updates until the updates catch up with your current version. Correct me if I'm wrong.

how do you switch o.O u have to download the build separately , and ya , dev updates to dev , canary to canary , and stable to stable

Firsts Aurora builds will be available on April 12th !

To run Firefox and Minefield together you have to use the "no-remote" command :

Change the Minefield shortcut target to : X:\Path\To\Minefield Folder\firefox.exe -no-remote -p "Minefield Profile Name"

You can leave de Firefox shortcut like it is if you want to use it as primary webbrowser.

And how do you get back to "Nightly" if you selected something else?

I think you can switch fro nightly to others, but to get back you have to re-download the nightly installer

How do i find the profile name, and I need to include the quotes (profile name)?

Echofon stopped working so it would be nice to switch between the two (Y)

The ability to switch the channels within the browser is one of the things I like about Mozilla, as they are already foreseeing and preparing for the possibility that their builds they push to users can be broken. I would assume switching the channel and then clicking the "apply setting and install" button would immediately download the latest version from the channel you chose. Chrome, on the other hand, requires you to manually install another channel, which creates separate install directories for each and you will have multiple versions of chrome installed at the same time, whereas I would only prefer to have one version installed at any time and switch between aurora, beta, and release channels as needed based on their current stability.

I also like that firefox now has nice seemless updating, similar to chrome, without using a separate updater process

Is Mozilla going to bring 64-bit browser? I know browser don`t need 4 GB+ RAM...Just curious, so asked.

it WAS supposed to be released with version 4, but due to continued instability it was pushed back to version 5

at this point though there's still no telling if it will actually make it into the version 5 release or not

i think mozilla will focus on 64 bit more when 64-bit plugins will be ready

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.

    • "No. The "New Outlook for Windows" does not support non-cloud mailboxes (such as on-premises Exchange servers). Furthermore, because the New Outlook effectively functions as a web-based client, it requires all connected accounts—even standard IMAP or POP accounts—to route and cache data through Microsoft's cloud servers. You can verify the accepted account setups using the Microsoft Supported Account Types Guide." Built to fail "New" Outlook is basically just webmail in a window wrapper and it's usefulness reflects that.
