Looks like the second bug just changes the preference to enable the Full Screen API by default. However, I didn't know anything about that preference, so it's news to me.

Just tried it on YouTube and I'm glad to see it's working. Going back to the in-page view doesn't seem to be working so well, yet.

The full-screen API is for web pages to show content in a full screen window (like a custom video player, or <canvas> game), viewing <video> tags as full screen is different and has been in Firefox since the start.

Previously, from my experience, going fullscreen watching a HTML 5 video just maximized the video in the content area and you could still see the chrome. To get true fullscreen I had to also change the browser to full screen view (F11).

When I enabled the full screen API it went to a true full screen as soon as I clicked the full screen button without needing to also hit F11.

I figured the API would apply to other things, but that full screen YouTube pet peeve made me wonder if it made a difference there and it did.

Edit: Just toggled full screen API off again just to be sure and it went back to just "in-content" full screen. I'm guessing YouTube supports the API along with html5 video.

why did they make their icons white in Fx8.0?

Yeah, I noticed this too, with the Tab Groups/Panorama button. It seems to only happen with buttons that are placed on the tab bar.

Also, is it just me or are the tab reordering animations not working? Do I have to go into about:config and change some setting?

How do I set it so Firefox always automatically downloads .avi files without me having to click save each time? I see the check box that says Do this automatically for files like this from now on, but it's grayed out. Can it be done?

I think that option is only working for opening stuff not downloading it.If you always want to automatically open a .doc file in word instead of getting a dialog window of what to do with the file you can use that setting and the file will be downloaded in temp folder and opened with the chosen program(can be changed in Applications tab in FF options).

Hmm bummer. So from that link, it sounds like they chose not to do it because it broke too many addons? Well if that's the case they would never be able to update FF/add new features, because it's inevitable some addon out there is going to be broken by them.

It wasn't just addons, it broke a whole bunch of things (couldn't drag tabs to make bookmarks, behaved badly on slower systems, etc.)

The extent of the addon breakage was just "We didn't give them much time", by itself breaking some addons isn't a deal breaker.

Is the latest build of aurora still 9.0a2? Or is it on 10 yet?

I don't see it yet, but the switch should be happening any day now. I want to switch to Firefox 9 Beta myself. Keep checking this site. It should change soon. http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/channel/

will this be in firefox 9, 10 or 11?

FF10, if not wrong, try to find

full-screen-api.enabled

This in FF9 and turn it ON, it will surely be buggy but at least something useful. Never tested myself.

Where can you download it? I assume off of the FTP, but I need a direct link. I'm looking for 9 Beta, which I would assume is on there as well. Thanks!

Here's where I got the latest aurora10a2 build from

    • You can't remove Safari though. Or almost any other bundled app for that matter, and pretty much all of them are useless to me (and there are is a heap of them compared to Windows). I'll much rather take Edge than Safari, at least it can be highly customized vs. Safari. I'll take a PC with ten Edges over a Mac any day though as I can't stand all the limitation and painfully frustrationg restriction that make me dislike their stuff with a burning passion, iOS included (especially iOS).

    • Glow 26.9 by Razvan Serea Glow provides detailed reporting on every hardware component in your computer, saving you valuable time typically spent searching for CPU, motherboard, RAM, graphics card, and other stats. With Glow, all the information is conveniently presented in one clean interface, allowing you to easily access and review the comprehensive hardware details of your system. Glow provides detailed information on various system aspects, including OS, motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card, storage, network, battery, drivers, and services. The well-organized format ensures easy access to the required information. You can export all the gathered data to a plain text file, facilitating sharing with others for troubleshooting purposes. No installation needed. Just decompress the archive, launch the executable, and access computer-related information. Glow runs on Windows 11 and Windows 10 64-bit versions. Glow 26.9 changelog: New Features The processor hardware detection engine has been significantly enhanced beyond traditional Intel and AMD architectures. Native support is now available for modern platforms such as Apple Silicon (M-Series) and the newly introduced NVIDIA Spark. In addition, all ARM-based processors can now be accurately distinguished between ARM32 and ARM64 architectures, providing precise hardware reporting. This marks a major milestone for Glow's hardware detection capabilities. The RAM manufacturer identification algorithm has been expanded. JEDEC vendor codes for popular brands such as Patriot, PNY, Team Group, GeIL, Lexar (Longsys), and Asgard/Gloway have been integrated into the database. This significantly reduces the likelihood of incorrect or "Unknown Manufacturer" results and improves overall hardware detection accuracy. New Public IP Address and Internet Service Provider (ISP) features have been added to the Network section. To ensure reliability, this information is retrieved from the trusted service ipwho.is. When Hiding Mode is enabled, no requests are sent and these features remain hidden, as they may expose sensitive information. The search engine used in the Installed Drivers, Installed Services, and Installed Applications sections has been enhanced. You can now perform more flexible and accurate searches using initials, partial matches, and loosely arranged character sequences. The TS Preloader loading bar has been rebuilt using our modern TS Custom Controls graphics library, developed entirely in-house. As a result of this infrastructure upgrade, the loading bar now features smooth rendering and rounded corners that align with the visual style of Windows 11. [TS Updater] A new validation algorithm has been added to check whether the target application is currently running before the update process begins. Bug Fixes Resolved a condition that could prevent TS Preloader from shutting down safely during rare application crash scenarios. Fixed a text alignment issue in the Network section affecting the display of DNS addresses. Alignment is now rendered correctly. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue that could prevent the updated application's executable "*.exe" file from being located after the update process. [TS Updater] Fixed a bug that could leave outdated "*.sha256" files in the application directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed a rare issue that could cause subfolders to be moved into the root directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue during the first launch that could cause flickering and a temporary white window appearance due to Windows Defender interactions. Changes A small improvement has been made to the internet connectivity detection algorithm. Connectivity checks are now performed in the background with minimal impact on the user interface thread. The keyboard shortcuts in the top menu have been reorganized and simplified to provide a consistent experience across all Türkaysoft applications and to avoid potential conflicts with standard Windows shortcuts. The TS Preloader splash image has been updated with a Türkiye-themed stadium design to celebrate Türkiye's qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup—its first appearance in 24 years. Congratulations, Türkiye! The TS Custom Controls module has been updated to version 26.6, delivering improved stability and a more polished visual appearance. [TS Updater] The application icon has been redesigned to provide a more modern and refined look. Note: Always unzip the program before using it. Otherwise you may get an error.
