No there are still themes. You have to check on "Complete Themes" in AMO. Marshall, that theme FT Deep Dark used to be compatible with the latest nightly builds. It does seem however that not many of the Complete Themes are being updated. Some are not even compatible with the released version of Firefox.

Thanks Gary,

It seems the only dark themes that are compatible with FF 22 are the Lava series, which are quite ugly as they have XP-like rounded tabs.

Thanks anyway though. :)

Add this pref in about:config extensions.checkCompatibility.nightly and set value to false. After this You can install any theme/extension, almost everything what is compatibly with stable release will be also OK with Nightly ;)

Thanks, but there is no such string available in the config?

You must create this: about:config -> click with RMB -> add new boolean: past there : extensions.checkCompatibility.nightly -> confirm with enter -> take value "false" in next window-> enter-> ready (sometimes You need restart browser)

I know this is not the appropriate thread, but this is where I'm most likely to get this noticed: I just updated to FF20. I got the new download thing next to the home icon, but when trying to move around the feedly icon, I lost both the feedly and download icons, and when I right click and choose "Customize..." neither are there. What gives, and how do I get them back?

Not sure about Feedly, maybe in its addon settings?

But Right click > customise > Restore Default Set - should bring the downloads one back

Uninstall and reinstall feedly ?

Nah, I just put the url as my home page, so I can get it that way. It wasn't that important anyway, as I'm not a big fan of the web interface and I hope they fix it before Google Reader shuts down. Just my OCD taking over. Thanks anyway!

Baseline Compiler landed in Firefox 23 and it is enabled by default, no need to change preference although for "chrome" and "content" purpose preferences are in about:config

.

Block Mixed active content support with UI landed as well - https://bugzilla.moz...g.cgi?id=834836

After OMTDecoding "MJPEG" were not displaying properly, it is fixed now - https://bugzilla.moz...g.cgi?id=856486

Text to Speech another dependent bug fixed (Accessibility feature)- https://bugzilla.moz...g.cgi?id=858136

(Kind a snappy) More Offloading from Main thread: https://bugzilla.moz...g.cgi?id=792920

(Now it is directly added in mozilla-central base, similar to Chrome approach, new extensions API on new version basis) Updating Addon SDK - https://bugzilla.moz...g.cgi?id=858326

SQLite update (will be most likely backported to Aurora) - https://bugzilla.moz...g.cgi?id=856469

After OMTDecoding "MPJPEG" increased CPU usage - https://bugzilla.moz...g.cgi?id=856602

(Kind a snappy) calling some stuff from Image library out of main thread - https://bugzilla.moz...g.cgi?id=857367

BTW Snappy is ruled out and superseded by "Performance", so now it is more like Performance meeting weekly rather than Snappy.

Is there any way to automatically delete download list when item is downloaded? In versi?n 19 when all items where downloaded it did and now it doesn't

I think I red several such question on mozillazine forum, I think only solution currently available is return to old DM window by switching browser.download.useToolkitUI;false preference to true.

Correct me if wrong...

Motion JPEG images are much better now, even before the OMTD work they were pretty buggy (Like it instantly replacing the previous frame when it started decoding the next frame, making it flicker). Now that they're double buffered and decoded on a separate there there shouldn't be any issues like that.

    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list

      By JayZJay · Posted

      It would be surprising if even 3 year old Apple Watches (and not SE models at that) cannot run watchOS 27. Granted, it doesn't mean it would work as well. We'll see.
    • Apple launches new website for parents and a revamped Screen Time experience

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple launches new website for parents and a revamped Screen Time experience by Aditya Tiwari At WWDC 2026, Apple announced new parental control features for iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 to keep kids' device usage in check and keep them safe online. As a parent, you'll get access to a simpler setup experience, Ask to Browse, Time Allowances, and a redesigned Screen Time. You'll be able to pick exactly which apps your child can access on their device, choosing from just a few essential apps, a curated set, or the apps you feel are appropriate. There will be an option to gradually add more apps. Ask to Browse is a new feature that requires kids to request permission before visiting a new website in Safari on iPhone, iPad, or Mac. You can also turn on a setting that requires your kid to ask for approval before connecting with an unknown contact via Messages, FaceTime, or the Phone app. You can manage your child's screen time more effectively with Time Allowances that work across categories, including Games, Entertainment, and Social Media. You can set time limits based on your kid's age and get suggestions informed by expert research. Speaking of expert guidance, Apple added that it's working with the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) to adapt its Family Media Plan to create a guide parents can refer to when using Apple products. Moreover, the company has also set up a new dedicated website, where you can find tools, resources, and answers to common questions around parental controls and child safety. Apple also allows parents to set daily schedules to manage screen time, configuring access to different apps at different times of the day and across the week. Overall, the Screen Time section has been revamped and provides a bird's-eye view of your kid's average device usage and most-used apps. "For example, to help protect important family moments, parents can quickly limit access during meals, outdoor play, and other times that deserve full attention. If kids need a little extra time to finish something in an app, parents can also easily extend access," Apple said. Apart from these, Communication Safety has been updated to block gore or violent content when detected in shared images or videos. The feature already blurs nudity in Messages and FaceTime calls, and is enabled by default for users under 18.

      They already threw the Ultra 1st gen under the bus? It really feels like someone screwed up, and that advanced AI features will only be available on the list above but someone screwed up and said that Watch OS 27 in general will only be available for those models. I think they will pull it back. I did see someone also put a snap shot of their series 9 watch being offered the watch os 27 beta. As the backlash online is already in full swing.

      Right, Google... because that's who this is going to. Google, the company who's entire business model is geared around ad revenue and your personal data.
    • Bluesky COO warns social media regulations could destroy competition from small startups

      That is the natural course for regulations. First to protect the consumer. Then to protect the business/industry from upstart competition. There are countless examples across history.
