So, I'm having this "issue" with Aurora that's kinda bugging me lately. I have Aurora set to reopen last tabs/windows from last session, but when the only tabs open are pinned tabs, it also loads my homepage in a new tab whenever I close the browser and then reopen it later.

For example, if I close my browser and I have speed dial (pinned) and neowin.net in another tab, those two tabs will open next time I open Aurora no problem. However, if I close my browser and all I have is speed dial (pinned), when I next open my browser, Aurora opens speed dial(pinned) and my home page in a new tab.

I've tried this on a brand new profile and it still does it, so it's not any of my addons.

Any way to make it stop this?

Does anyone else get issues with firefox freezing periodically during downloads? it will either hang for about 10 seconds when I start a download or it will lock up while "checking download for viruses" at the end. I get this on both desktop and laptop and laptop is a clean windows & nightly install with new profile so it cannot be me. It's bugged me for a while so it must be a bug.

Happens for me with 6.0, 7.0 betas and nightly, yes.

Firefox 6.01, 7.0 Beta 3 and thunderbird 6.01 are out now: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/

In relation to Thunderbird, is there any way to follow the UI development of this like you can with Firefox, since I want to see if they're actually doing anything to improve the godawful UI it has now.

Yeah, the current thunderbird UI on windows is ridiculously ugly. Seriously, what were they thinking?

So I'm having an odd issue with Firefox nightlies and youtubes ability to add videos to my favorite list. When I click the "Add to" button the option simply isn't there in Firefox, but if I use Chrome it is. I'm also not using adblock.

Anyone else experience this? Already addressed somewhere? Or is this something stupid silly that google is doing to get people to use their browser?

What happened to the IE9-like font rendering in Firefox 7 Beta?

It's not working here... Firefox is rendering fonts in Clear Type!

Firefox now uses gdi classic style font rendering for some fonts by default. Directwrite is still enabled and working (you can check to make sure in about:support)

Chromium:

Firefox(with addons disabled):

I see what you mean now. Just tried with Fx5, 6, 8, and 9 and there are only 3 boxes, so it might be Youtube being selective. I was able to add to favorites in each version so I don't know what's going on there.

Heh, I was right. I just tried changing the Firefox user agent string to Chrome's and now the 4th box shows up. It's just Youtube doing some browser sniffing.

Still not sure about the Favorites thing, though...

Is youtube rolling out another video player update? Haven't seem that UI before.

Just updated to the latest Nightly and Youtube is working fine for me - both adding favorites and the 'expand' button (I'm assuming that's what you meant, kilara). Have you guys tried in safe mode?

I just updated to the latest and the Favorites part is still missing. I do have the expand thing though.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.

    • Alien Isolation 2 will bring a new protagonist and setting, watch the reveal trailer here by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Only a few weeks ago, Sega and Creative Assembly dropped a teaser for a new Alien Isolation. Today at Summer Game Fest, Alien: Isolation 2 was officially announced with a new trailer while also confirming a whole lot of information about the setting of this survival horror project. Check out the reveal trailer above. Leaving behind the Sevastopol space station, the sequel will take players to a remote colony world. With a Xenomorph (or more) on the loose, players will be navigating both the surface of the weather-ravaged planet as well as "the claustrophobic confines of the Weyland-Yutani outpost of Kurosaki Station." Interestingly, Creative Assembly is leaving behind Amanda Ripley, the daughter of Alien's Ellen Ripley, as the protagonist too. While it hasn't confirmed a name yet, players will be taking the role of a new character for this new adventure. The setting is also being described as a new hunting ground for the Alien. This will have players improvising and developing new tools to aid in their survival and escape, all to avoid "cinema’s deadliest killer." "It has been over a decade since we created the original Alien: Isolation and I am so excited to show everyone the first glimpse of the sequel," says Al Hope, Creative Director at Creative Assembly. "Our dedicated Survival team at Creative Assembly has been working hard to create a new, evolved Isolation experience continuing the legacy of the Alien franchise, making the eponymous killer smarter, the environment harsher and the chance of survival slimmer." Promising the same deadly tension from the original from over a decade ago, Alien: Isolation 2 is in development for PC, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced yet.
    • With how far Tim Apple's head has been up Trump's ass, there's no way this was done reluctantly.
    • Like the article stated, it's written completely from scratch, unlike the umpteen Chromium clones. It got its start as the browser built-in to the also written-from-scratch SerenityOS.
