For those that are running Nightly builds be prepared for a great deal of breakage with tonight's build (02.10.2013)

http://hg.mozilla.or...ago&enddate=now

Crash, some addon breakage, something not working??? What etc... Elaborate more..

many build-in functions mark as read-only in today's build

every extension that depend on changing Firefox build-in function will fail

Such as Tan Mix Plus, Themes, Any extension that depends on Firefox' built in function. I would imagine some scripts will fail as well.

You are on the same forum Zippy. :)

I was going by what Oneman said. Briscoe I am keeping a download of last nights build just in case.

Why not!! Although I am on full bleeding edge mood since use only three addons and relatively new profile created last week of Jan.

Is it only me or is Mozilla trying to eliminate Themes? I am using the Nightly builds and it says that I don't have one installed. It used to say the default theme. When you go to AMO and click on Themes you are given a bunch of Persona's to look at. To get to the real themes you now have to click on Complete Themes.

No, that is not trying to 'eliminate' themes. It's simply that Personas suit most people, and cause far fewer long-term issues.

(It has nothing to do with the version of Firefox you're using)

I am using the Nightly Builds and there are very few Themes that are compatible. There are also not that many compatible with Fx 17. I used to make and publish persona's and they do the job. I can see in the near future themes will be gone.

IMO . Themes cause nothing but problems an always have. Persona's are so much easier. i couldnt care a less if Mozilla got rid of Themes totally an stuck with Persona's only. at the end of the day, people only need Persona's which doesnt really do anything to the Browsers Code like some or a lot of Themes do.

Nightlies are always going to have lower compatibility than the release browsers - you cannot use it as a measuring stick of trends. Addon authors simply are not as bothered about supporting it, especially since it can introduce a breaking change at any moment.

Besides, it doesn't mean full themes will be gone in future - in fact, that's simply not really possible, given that it would require a massive lockdown of how Firefox addons work... and that's not happening.

Well , I have 33 add-ons that work perfectly fine. If you look in the Theme section at AMO you will find many themes that are not even compatible with the released version of Firefox. If the devs that make thems do not start making them compatible with the latest release they may well become a thing of the past. With CSS and Persona's I have no use for a theme.

If people stop making Themes, then yes, they will become a thing of the past - but that's kind of tautology. It doesn't mean Firefox will ever drop support itself.

I suspect the reduced popularity of themes is just a combination of reasons: Personas are simple and suit many people, Firefox is changing more rapidly meaning a theme that hasn't been touched for a while simply stops working, and people are just happier with the existing Firefox UI (Firefox improvements and/or OS-related general improvements like XP to Vista).

Getting this:

ASSERT: Giving up waiting for the tab closing animation to finish (bug 608589)

Stack Trace:

0:([object XULElement],[object XULElement])

All the time now. It's said to be, "fixed", but, well, there it is.

Anyone else getting said message?

Not me, I am using Firefox 20 Beta 1

Then all of the current themes need to be made compatible by the devs to the latest release or be removed after 30 days.

This message is making me annoying as well...

    • Those persons has complete control over the internet right now. They do see everything what we do regardless.
    • Everyone and every country who doesn't support Israel's aggression, terrorism and hypocrisy is their immediate enemy. You can definitely see how many innocent people they are killing almost everyday. In fact they're the actual Neo-Nazi who holds Hitler's ideology.
    • Just pull a 4Chan and ignore the UK gov, or better troll them. It's not like they can enforce the fine across border.
    • It has NEVER been shown that all these overreaching creepy methods of surveillance have ever saved a child or prevented a terrorist attack. Not a single one. It's the kind of people like you who just wave it away as "paranoid conspiracy" that makes big tech and governments this creepy mass data hoarding entities. Not only that, 3/4 of these surveillance ideas undermine the very foundations of safe online communication because they always want to have a backdoor in everything "just in case" they might need it to... checks the notes "save the children". If you put a backdoor into encryption chain there is no encryption chain anymore. You know what encryption keeps safe? Your medical records, your online shopping and credit card during payment, your photos in the cloud, your emails, your passwords, everything. There is ZERO guarantee only the good guys will use it. And if you think police suddenly can't apprehend child abusers because of encryption, Epstein was running his entire sex trafficking ring using GMail which is not even encrypted end to end. Or to make matters even worse, USA has a **** and a good buddy of Epstein as a president. Absolutely NOTHING has been done to address it. Maxwell just got a better "hotel" room as a reward. This clearly shows how they absolutely don't really care about the children but they care about the absolute control over all of us. And you're defending them here. Good grief. On top of constant attempts to insert backdoors into encryption chain, the entire age verification nonsense is again entirely over reaching, creepy, invades everyone's privacy with premise of yet again "protecting the children" instead of demanding device makers to provide simple and powerful tools for PARENTS to control how their children use devices and what they do on them. THIS would be the way, not the stupid age verification for everyone. Imagine if government would be dictating companies how their phones work and not the company's IT department. The parents should be the IT department to their children. And for everyone excusing "they are not knowledgeable enough" buuuuuulsheat. We live in a digital age, if you have children now, you absolutely are well versed in digital everything at least to basic extent. If you're not, how do you even function in these times then? Reality is that parents are just lazy and don't want to deal with this. They want government to raise their kids because they are too busy scrolling stupid Instagram and Tiktok or some bs.
    • You could make the argument that K should not be included, but FC, the fried chicken, is not the framework, it's the product. It's the Paint in Paint.NET. A closer analogy is if KFC included the name of the deep fryer they used. HennyPennyFC.
