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.

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

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
