You can zoom websites (or just text if you select that option) in Firefox by holding control and scrolling your mouse wheel.

This bit of info could be completely irrelevant but we're talking about zoom..

Tried that, but it seems to be per page and not global. Unless there's an about:config setting.

Edit: browser.zoom.siteSpecific Tada!

Edit: What is the default layout.css.devPixelsPerPx setting?

i need a place to VENT, when will Mozilla ever fix Copy&paste Functions? seriously i had to bloody use Chrome to do a simple job, an you wonder why Chrome is getting more market share. only reason i use firefox an thats for its Extensions. which most are in Chrome anyway that i use in Fx.

I've never had any problems with copy/paste in firefox...

i have seen some people on the Mozillazine forums saying they have had problems with it but iv'e been seeing a Bug with it for a few weeks now ( im running Firefox Nightly btw ) i also have tried the keyboard shortcut to do a C&P , still dont work :( im at whits end with firefox lately. i'd hate to Dump it coz of that but currently i have no other choice :(

I have been kinda busy lately so I hadn't had time to mess with the new click to play plugin options until now... and wow, they are great. I had been keeping plugins always on because I figured click to play would be too annoying in the long run.. but white listing specific sites through the page info/permissions window is a breeze, it's basically the same setup I have with cookies (I keep cookies until I close Firefox, then I just allow sites like neowin.net where I want to stay logged in).

anyone wanna see what this New ugly Panel looks like. go here http://msujaws.wordp.../13/were-jamun/

I think it looks very good, seems people here are freaking out about any type of change in the UI :p

The only thing I'm not a fan of is the tab strip (I like curved tabs but the curves in australis are far too "overdone" or "pronounced", but that should be easily changable with themes or a stylish script.)

Looks great to me!

i made a comment on it under the nickname of " bee " an it got removed. why they let people comment an remove there comments is beyond me. but Chrome is looking good to me right now cause i dont like that New panel at all ,

Same here, I use Chromium more and more these days.

BTW Nightly is now 24 and CSS3 Fonts related several features landed.

Is the new content UI panel in any builds other than UX? Like will it be in 22 Beta 1, 23 Aurora, or Nightly 24? Also, is there a link to 22 Beta 1 yet? Thanks!

just in UX at the moment then it will move to Nightly once its stable an complete in UX . go an try the Mozilla FTP site

i'll admit one thing, im on UX at the moment an using it, but once i move to Linux fulltime again i will move to Chrome. i still have Chrome as my default browser in windows an have had that as default for months, i dont mind the tabs, its just the New panel i dont like much at all

Update

tl;dr: Australis will be landing in Firefox 25 (week of June 24th).

The schedule we've previously been working towards was targeting landing

Australis "early" in the Firefox 24 cycle. This target was set for two

main purposes:

1) Land as soon as we met the minimal mozilla-central quality criteria,

and use the full remainder of the cycle to finish the baseline Australis

implementation.

2) Land in the first week or so in order to have a full cycle to shake

out any "unknown unknowns" that are sure to be discovered, since this is

a major UI change. A backout would be cumbersome, so we want a high

degree of confidence that we can ride the train we land in through to

release.

As the first week of the 24 cycle has approached, it's become clear that

the amount of remaining work would make landing "early in 24" unwise. If

we landed late in 24, we'd be scrambling to finish work in Aurora, and

have no margin to deal with unexpected issues.

So, instead we're going to land in the beginning of the Firefox 25

cycle, with an Australis that's more refined and polished than had been

planned to land in 24. A bit later, but it'll make for a much nicer

first impression.

If you're interested in the gory details of the revised schedule, we're

laying out new milestones at https://etherpad.mozilla.org/australis-schedule

https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/firefox-dev/2013-May/000405.html

doesnt surprise me, i thought this would happen

I only have one gripe about FF 21--my jumplists no longer work. (I had a long list of shortcuts in the jumplist from the pinned taskbar icon in Win7 Ultimate)...if I uninstall 21 and reinstall version 20, the jumplist comes back, but I can't add new shortcuts to the jumplist after I install version 21.

HiDPI has landed in the beta channel and still looks all kinds of wrong even if you set it to not respect the OS scaling. The fact that there is no easy way to tune the browser should make the average user happy. Ugh.

How does it look "all kinds of wrong"? It just making Firefox respect the screen DPI and render the same as any other app (Just as a higher quality vs. upscaling the backing buffer)

    • So is Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, just to mention a few. What's your point? Everyone is a threat from their enemies' perspective. I'd say that Israel is only a threat to their immediate enemies like Hamas, Hezbollah and the Iranian regime, not to anyone else.
    • The government is not the good guy either. You propose 99% of people require that the government overreach and govern their freedom of information and privacy, while ignoring the government is made up 100% of people, of which 99% are (as you described) brain dead. You can't have both. The reality is Signal is absolutely right and the government is doing what it has always done. Ignoring that we are their boss and grabbing all the power they possibly can to make sure we aren't. Your (societies) ###### parenting is not reason enough as to why I can't have a safe platform for my data/information. Thinking the government is helping is precisely what they are targeting psychologically to take suckers like you for a ride. "Think of the children" was, has, is, and will always be a mechanism of control. In the rare occasion it's actually essential the mass consensus has always been there and it doesn't become a debate.

    • Apple would rather delay Siri AI than open iOS to rival assistants in the EU by Pradeep Viswanathan At WWDC 2026, Apple today announced a revamped Siri AI experience for iOS and iPadOS users. However, this new Siri AI experience will not be available on iPhones and iPads in the European Union when iOS 27 and iPadOS 27 launch later this year. In a detailed press release, Apple blamed the Siri delay on the EU’s Digital Markets Act, highlighting that EU regulators did not accept its proposed solutions for bringing Siri AI to the region. Consequently, there is currently no timeline for Siri AI’s availability on iOS and iPadOS in the EU. Here is what EU users will be missing due to this delay: Siri AI, Apple’s next-generation assistant powered by Apple Intelligence A new dedicated Siri app for revisiting conversations Expanded Visual Intelligence features Integrated AI-assisted writing tools Siri mode in Camera on iOS Other system-level AI features Since the new Siri experience on watchOS 27 is dependent on an iOS 27 device, EU users will also miss out on Siri AI on watchOS 27. The most frustrating part is that even developers based in the EU will not be able to test or use the new Siri AI features for their apps on iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and watchOS 27. In its press release, Apple mentioned that making Siri AI available in the EU would require the company to give other AI assistants (like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini) broad access to private user data and the ability to control installed apps. Essentially, the EU wants competing AI systems to be able to read and send messages, make purchases, access files, and perform actions across apps. To address these concerns, Apple proposed an intermediary system called Trusted System Agent. This system would have allowed other virtual assistants to access the same features as Siri AI in a safer way. However, the European Commission rejected Apple's proposals, and it is currently unclear why. The good news is that Apple stated it will continue working with EU regulators to bring Siri AI to the region. For now, however, iPhone and iPad users in the EU will have to wait. If platform gatekeepers such as Apple and Google reserve deep operating system capabilities only for their own AI assistants, rival services such as ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and others will be at a major disadvantage. Modern AI assistants are no longer simple chatbots. They require access to core OS-level capabilities such as reading on-screen context, interacting with installed apps, sending messages, creating calendar events, managing files, and completing user-approved actions across the device. If only Siri on iOS or Gemini on Android can access these capabilities, competing AI services will struggle to offer the same level of convenience, even if their underlying models are better. This is exactly what the European Union's DMA is trying to address. Apple and Google should be allowed to protect user privacy and security, but they should not be permitted to use those concerns as a blanket excuse to block rival AI assistants from getting fair access to core platform features. A secure permission-based framework could allow users to choose their preferred AI assistant without giving any company unrestricted access to personal data.
