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.

    • 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.
