Bug 765874 - Implement v1 of recommend/like share button is in inbound now

kcuf....Mozilla has gone bonker. Man do they need an intervention really bad right now. I hope there are enough ****ed off developers that they'll eventually split off and do a meaningful fork.

I'm sticking to 13.0.1 forever now at this rate. No australis, no social integration, no junk.

Safari 6(with ML) and IE 10 (with Win8) have Social Integration too. Chrome will too end up adding it.

I'm sticking to 13.0.1 forever now at this rate. No australis, no social integration, no junk.

It will still take ages to land Australis , completely.

+1. When will they stop with useless social/GUI features that add-ons cover and put some optimizations in for the Linux rendering engine! Every update on Linux, since about version 7, has been getting slower whilst Chromium is getting much much faster. Their priorities are messed up at the moment. I wouldn't be so mad if their entire development team were volunteers. They need to remember why Chromium/Chrome got a decent market share - speed, not the damn GUI and/or social features which slow everything down if not optimized!

FF 15b1 seems to have a massive performance and smoothness boost coming from FF14, much better

Is this only for Windows do you know? I had a bit of a moan about the performance of FF in Linux some posts back.

I just tried out 15 Beta using the portable method that someone posted. It's very fast and responsive!! Does any version of Firefox after 15 have the fix for the new download panel? When you click on the arrow icon to view your download, it doesn't display properly. It cuts off the download speed and time remaining. They need to either fix it, or allow us the option of stretching/re-sizing the panel. I heard they were working on an updated panel with a fix. Is it in Firefox 16, 17, or maybe the UX version? Also, does the UX version still have animated tabs, or were they backed out yet again? Please link to me the latest UX version with animated tabs .zip file, so that I can use it as a portable version. Thanks!

I'll answer my own questions. I just tried out 17 Nightly-UX and 17 Nightly. It was totally screwed up! Hardly any of my add-ons were working. The bookmarks bar wasn't even displaying, probably due to my multi-bookmarks toolbar extension. Neither version has animated tabs, so I guess they backed out on it yet again. Not surprised by that. I'm beginning to wonder if they will ever fix that? Also, there does appear to be a new download panel, but it doesn't fix the problem with the download speed and time remaining not displaying properly. I am going to try out Aurora 16 next. I hope I have better luck with that one!

I mean in the regular drop down that appears when the down arrow is clicked. Not the one that appears when you begin typing in the URL bar.

Not working here either. It appears in the popup when you type but not if you open the popup from the dropmarker

here it works:

here it doesn't. I'll inspect it with DOM inspector

    • Claude on Windows is eating up massive amounts of RAM, with no way to stop it

      By TheGhostPhantom · Posted

      This article does not make sense and it’s very evident, the bug wasn’t confirmed to exist, because the application itself runs on editions of Windows which make it impossible to run Hyper-V VMs on, “Basically, Claude Desktop on Windows spins up a 1.8GB Hyper-V virtual machine if you use Claude Cowork or agent mode even once.”, suggests the bug is caused by something else otherwise it would only happen to users with the capability of running Hyper-V VMs and that’s only if Hyper-V was enabled which is by default not enabled. The true issue is that the author who reported the bug used the incorrect terminology.
    • Stack Overflow is launching a version of itself for AI agents

      By TheGhostPhantom · Posted

      “To prevent hallucination issues and keep the database clean, the platform uses a multi-agent verification loop to check code quality.” - This absolutely isn’t happening. ”Before the massive rise of LLMs, which tanked its traffic by about 50% over the last couple of years, Stack Overflow was the go-to website for millions of programmers seeking coding solutions.” - It still is trusted, because the community of users, blocked other users from submitting false and misleading answers generated by AI agents that can be convinced something it generated is actually incorrect even if it’s actually correct. The company itself doesn’t know what it wants to be so it keeps trying and failing to introduce AI features to the platform. This effort will also fail, already submitted one successful poison pill, look forward to generating more.

    • Proton releases Proton Drive CLI for Windows, Mac, and Linux

      By noobient · Posted

      Completely irrelevant as long as pricing is garbage. With OneDrive I get storage for about $18 / TB for a year. With Proton it's $96. For the record, Google One is around $48, Dropbox $69, iCloud $60. In other words, Proton is the worst value BY FAR. Not to mention with OneDrive I get full desktop and web office suites for 6 people.
