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.

    • It's time to say goodbye to Edge and switch back to Firefox. There's no way to disable the ugly rounded corners that appear everywhere. Not even on the page frame. No one uses screens with rounded corners, you idiots.

    • Gen Atlas is the next game from Shadow of the Colossus creator, this time with giant robots by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The mind behind widely well-received games like Ico, Shadow of the Colossus, and The Last Guardian, Fumito Ueda, showed up at Summer Game Fest today, and that was to reveal his latest project. Being developed by genDESIGN, Gen Atlas is incoming with what looks to be plenty of mech and robot action. Watch the reveal trailer, which makes not much sense, above. The game will have players waking up on an abandoned planet where deserted facilities and grand designs from the original creators remain. Soon, they will stumble upon a colossal robot, from which players gain access to the power to change the world. "Across an endless expanse of time, the remnants of those forgotten constructs begin to move once more," adds the studio. The gameplay snippets seen in the trailer show the player character climbing giant robots (as expected from the creator), while also controlling these titans somehow as well. This is a fully single-player open-world adventure. “The team and I are grateful to all the fans who’ve been eager to learn more about our game,” says Fumito Ueda, CEO and creative director of genDESIGN. “Their passion and enthusiasm has always motivated and inspired us. We hope to share an experience that inspires moments of quiet wonder and discovery.” Before gaining the name Gen Atlas, Ueda first announced this project back in 2024 with the codename Project Robot. Interestingly, this will be a project being funded and published by Epic Games, which should mean that a Steam release is out of the question. Gen Atlas will be releasing on Epic Games Store, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. A release date has not been announced just yet.
    • How backwards can you have it? Yes, Linux was gaining because of Linux handhelds and the push for gaming compatibility, but that's not desktop users, it barely converts anyone who owns a SteamDeck, though it helps for those who wanted to do it, but anyways, the AI+RAM debacle helped Linux because people can't easily upgrade their PCs easily and many hate AI so they'd be incentivized to try Linux.
