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"

    • Halo: Campaign Evolved is out next month with new prequel missions

      It is, but it also has a bad performance reputation even on high-end gaming PCs. Some people say it's the engine's fault, others say it's the games developers' fault, who knows... At the end of the day, for the average gamer, the take is this: PC game with Unreal Engine 5? Be affraid and cross your fingers, it's a 50/50 chance.
    • 25th anniversary Xbox Series X unveiled with classic translucent green design

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      25th anniversary Xbox Series X unveiled with classic translucent green design by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Xbox Games Showcase had a new Xbox console reveal from Microsoft celebrating the gaming brand turning 25 years old. This is to be a new limited edition Xbox Series X and controller collection that draws on the design of the rare green version of the original Xbox console. The "XBOX Series X25 Limited Edition" is coming out later this year with its matching controller. "Inspired by the look and feel of the original XBOX console, both the console and controller feature a translucent OG Green design, with subtle tributes to the journey we’ve been on together," said Microsoft in the announcement. The Xbox Series X|S line has received several new variants over the years, but this will be the first edition with a translucent design. The Xbox Series X25 will have one terabyte of internal storage and a green light on the X to signify the console lines' history. There is a 25th anniversary logo printed on the front plate. Microsoft is also teasing that the community will be able to find "a few hidden surprises throughout" the machine as well. As for the new X25 Special Edition Xbox controller, this is also coming with the classic translucent green design for its front and back plates. "From the original ABXY colors, to the timeless green, every detail calls back to the beginning, including the bumpers honoring the original black and white buttons on the original “Duke” controller," says the company about this release. "The back case and battery door are fully transparent, revealing the classic XBOX logo." The XBOX 25th anniversary collection, containing both the translucent console and controller, will be available for purchase in November 2026 as a limited-edition release. Microsoft will be offering the new XBOX Wireless Controller X25 Special Edition separately as well. Pricing details and pre-order information will be coming later.
