It's a preexisting bug which 8.1 made more prevalent, at least that's what I think (I remember seeing bug reports about it since they switched on DPI scaling, since 8.1 was released I've seen just as many new ones filed)

Why? Who knows! That's being rendered internally by Firefox so I have no idea why it'd be different in 8.1 vs. 8 or even 7.

Edit: Or maybe 8.1 is now changing the DPI in more places, that's a much better explanation.

http://www.ghacks.net/2013/10/20/mozilla-considers-switching-9-week-release-schedule/ just goes to show you that this 6 weeks release wAS TO SHORT IF THEY GO WITH A 9 WEEK RELEASE SCHEDULE 

 

Well, praise the lord!

 

For me, the ideal is a 12 week release cycle, 6 week cycle is ridiculous for a web browser when they can make minor updates whitout breaking nearly everything every 6 week

I haven't had a single "breakage" since they started the 6 week release cycle, even when using the beta releases.

 

+100

 

I used Firefox Nightly from when Nightly had version 6 (2nd week of it) till version 26 (last week of it). I does not faced that much severe issues as I faced in Chromium snapshots since version 27.

 

Current issue in Chromium 32+, NPAPI plugins sometime show Black screen while playing anything.

anyone else have issues with Twitter completely breaking on firefox since yesterday? (on beta branch btw)

will post a screenshot if needed when i get home tonight

yes, missing avatar images and sometimes completely broken pages. a new beta was just uploaded on their servers, hope this fixes it.

ok good, glad it wasn't just me. was rather annoying

will update tonight :)

Same issues, you people are not alone.... LOL!!!

 

OSCP Stapling is the root cause of issue...

So the root cause is some OCSP servers run by CAs don't provide fully valid responses, and the web servers are potentially using stale OCSP responses in the stapling and sending that to Firefox (Which then rejects it)

Edit: Or the CA response is valid, but servers just aren't checking for new responses soon enough.

Looks like Australis won't ship till March 2014, at least according to this site. Not really sure if it's accurate information.

Its from Platform Meetings or Delivery Notes... Both sources are credible...

what branch of firefox are you using? 

 

tried a New Profile? 

Firefox 24 Central.

 

I don't even know there are profiles...

 

I did however install Firebug. :ermm:

 

It's not that I don't like the new buttons, I just don't know why this happened. They used to be just borderless arrows, now they look chromish.

 

Could the persona I'm using have been updated and it changed the buttons?

No update for Firefox 24 out in few days, it could be that one of your theme or extension got update although since you mentioned Persona (new themes) updated but they are not meant to change FF buttons if I am not wrong. So I can think of only addon causing it.

 

Yes, you can make Firefox Profiles by going into run in Windows and typing this "firefox.exe -p" without quotes.

I can stand the lack of status bar, but rounded tabs are just ugly and doesn't fit at all IMO...

Mephisto, both links are for Windows 8

Why there are Cut Copy Paste buttons in Downloads menu?

Whoops. Fixed the first link

The windows 8 mockup looks really nice IMO. Magnitudes better than the current fx theme does in windows 8...

 

I don't know why the curved tabs bother people so much. Only the active tab is really curved, inactive tabs look nice and squared and blended into the background until you mouse over them.

Why there are Cut Copy Paste buttons in Downloads menu?

There's no proper status bar in the current release, hasn't been for a while.

And the Cut/Copy/Paste buttons aren't in the download menu, they're in the toolbar palette.

    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.
    • "and pull old flight details from your email during back-and-forth conversations" The Siri I've become to know and trust. I've always wanted to pull info on old flights. /s
