works fine in both cosmic panda and the old layout (went back to the old layout becuase the panda has issues with the dark skin I use (I think they mucked it up again!! it worked fine for a while)

Wow. Now that is a huge improvement. Thanks for sharing the link. It's been a while since I've actually used anything out of the TestTube area. Not sure if I will keep for long because the everything consumes too much screen space is less efficient compared to the default design.

Also, I think the fourth video size option is missing in FF because it might supported for Chrome only? Some of the other other features of cosmic panda was is chrome-only as well.

not good of youtube to be chrome biased! as a mainstream site you never wanna do that. I know google owns it, but that's still bad.

Nothing new actually. They've been doing this for a long time when it comes to giving Chrome support for certain limited rollout google features before supporting other browsers. As much as it irritates me, I've grown not to care anymore. But they are free to shove "don't be evil" up their a** anytime they please.

SO much wasted space around the video. :/

yeah that's the main reason I don't care for it.... plus it seems all squished in the middle on a 1080p display. too much wasted space for widescreen users.

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)

Is there a way to make it render fonts as it did in the previous versions? All I want is that IE9-like font rendering... I like it A LOT!

Don't tell me I'll have to stick with IE9 if I want my fonts like that, please! ^^

You can bring back DirectWrite rendering for all fonts in Firefox.

in about:config

type "cleartype" in the filter field, and modify the pref "gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.force_gdi_classic_for_families" to blank.

Thank you very much! This work around didn't work, but I've set the gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.rendering_mode valeu from -1 to 5 and now it's rendering as it did before.

But you guys rock. Thanks for helping out!

Oh... your workaround also works... you just have to restart the browser!

THX A LOT!

Its still directwrite, it just overrides cleartype settings on certain fonts to look more like GDI fonts.

Ee-yup and I saw that. I filed one of my own becuase I couldn't find anything with the keyword combos I used... but then I got the email update that it was marked at a duplicate and I was glad I wasn't the only one!

Nice I like! Wonder what the forth new first windows button at the far top right hand corner is? Never seen that before on any browser or program.

I guess it's fullscreen button, but i really hope they don't implement custom caption buttons :/

I simply don't like the transparent effect of the unfocused tabs as it makes it difficult to see and click. Clearly defined outlines reduce eye strain. The mac version is slightly better than the windows one, but there's nothing wrong with the current default tab design in the Nightlies that warrant messing it up like that.

As for Astralis, still not liking it.

I want the mac version in black! I like it!

anyone got a theme link???

afaik firefox hasn't implemented the draw in titlebar on mac, s0o actually it's not possible to make a theme like that!

Exactly. Stephen Horlander has been pushing a lot of the other changes, texture, urlbar, icons, buttons etc to the UX branch for Mac OS X. Windows version is still very far behind.

    • 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.
