Is anyone having issues with flash player in 64-bit right now, ever since it hit 13a flash player has acted weird for me with some vids not showing up with only sound playing. I reinstalled flash player too.

If you mean in 64bit windows 7 , then yeah ... same here!

I thought for a while it was Adblock + playing up , or even a combo of that with NoScript but after uninstalling/installing I came to the conclusion it was neither!

Gone back to Aurora for the time being until it's sorted out.

In my nightly shockwaves applications don't load. I didn't troubleshoot with a new profile, i use chromium for those sites, but when i upgraded my aurora and beta installs i noticed that those sites worked there.

I finally figured out that you can pin bookmarks to the new tab page but does anyone else have the following problems:

1. Thumbnails for the sites don't display. Each pinned site just shows the default grey box instead of a thumbnail preview of the website.

2. Whenever I close/restart Nightly, all of my pinned bookmarks disappear.

1. can be fixed by visiting that site so that the thumbnail service can store its preview..

Was wondering if someone could please help me with a problem I've been having for a while. Firefox, or Nightly 13 to be more specific, isn't asking to remember passwords. I have the option to 'remember passwords' enabled but it still won't ask for any sites. I'm trying to make it remember a password for a specific site (not anything important like email or banking that may block an attempt to do so) but I can't for the life of me get it to prompt to remember password. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Certain websites have additional coding that disables the prompt to remember passwords for security reasons. Most of these sites are like financial or shopping sites. All MS websites have it disabled as well. But I am pretty sure there are still some workarounds if you search for them.

EDIT: Nevermind, I've fixed the problem. Had to delete two files (signons.sqlite and key3) in my 'Profiles' folder to get it to work.

It's also down to how the password manager detects forms (Without getting too technical, it only detects login forms generated by the server, or ones that use normal submission methods)

It's why Firefox can't pick up login forms on wallbase (client generated login form) or Steam (submission done through JavaScript), etc.

If you are not afraid about security you can use userscript:

"Allow Password Remembering"

      Thanks, Sony and Nintendo, you effectively killed platform-agnostic gaming. Long gone are the days when you could wish to play a specific game on whatever platform you were. Now, you have to buy the hardware just to play that single game. What, you're only interested in THAT game and nothing more? Bad luck, suck it and buy our console.

    • "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      "CRAZIER than ever!" Crazy Taxi: World Tour is officially coming soon by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Sega announced it is working on bringing back some of its classic franchises in 2023, and while it has taken some time, the company finally gave fans a look at one of these new projects at the Xbox Games Showcase today, which turned out to be a brand-new Crazy Taxi entry. Watch the debut trailer above, which has snippets of gameplay in between the cinematic bits while blasting a track from The Offspring. Dubbed Crazy Taxi World Tour, this installment is aptly being described as being "CRAZIER than ever!" The director behind the original, Kenji Kanno, is helming this new entry as well, which will come with access to five new cities to drive in, competitive multiplayer modes, a vehicle customization system, and more. Axel is returning as a protagonist as well, but this time a mystery driver is offering him the opportunity to take his adventures to the streets in other countries. This will involve Axel chasing down masked villains that have somehow stolen his taxi, which means even more extreme missions and challenges to overcome. "From transporting passengers at top speed to tackling unique side missions and odd jobs across dynamic maps, there are countless ways to drive crazy and rake in big money," says Sega about this new installment after over 20 years. "Perform outrageous drifts, catch insane air, and drive at crazy speeds across five different cities as you work to deliver passengers and complete a variety of missions and challenges." The studio has even confirmed an in-game Arcade Mode that players will be able to access containing the original games for plenty of nostalgic action. Crazy Taxi: World Tour is currently slated to release sometime in 2027 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.

      This and Crazy Taxi are the two games that interested me the most from this showcase.
