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.

    • If its the devs fault you would think Unreal would help M$ take full advantage of Unreal and work with them to fix the performance issues. Otherwise they are catching unwarranted bad press.
    • Thanks for the advice guys, I'll give my current GPU a clean and then run the benchmarks to see how similar it is. Hopefully a bit of a clean-out will help it last a bit longer.
    • Pretty sure those will still be in this game. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates by Sayan Sen Recently, Microsoft delivered its latest Defender patches for Windows 11 ISOs. These definitions are released from time to time alongside the general security updates available during Patch Tuesday. Speaking of Defender, the company has now announced another important change that affects how security updates are delivered to enterprise devices running Windows. According to a recent announcement, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's endpoint detection and response (EDR) updates will no longer be bundled with the monthly Windows security updates or Patch Tuesdays. Instead the company is shifting delivery of these updates to Microsoft Update, bringing EDR servicing in line with several other Microsoft Defender components. If you recall, Microsoft last year moved PowerShell updates to Microsoft Update (MU) as well since it provides automatic updates for Microsoft products and services. Thus the move is intended to allow Microsoft to deliver EDR improvements and security enhancements independently of the OS's regular monthly update cycle; this should enable faster deployment of protection updates without requiring organizations to wait for the next Patch release. For those unfamiliar, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint's EDR capabilities are designed to help organizations detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats across managed devices. Keeping these components updated is critical for maintaining protection against evolving attack techniques. The rollout has already began for Windows 10 devices in late May 2026 (last month) and Microsoft says it will gradually expand support to Windows 11 and the remaining supported Windows versions over the coming months. The company expects deployment across Windows 10 and Windows 11 to be completed by fall 2026 or around Q3 of this year. Once the transition is complete, EDR updates will be delivered through Microsoft Update using KB5005292, provided the required prerequisite updates have already been installed. Microsoft is also introducing a new Defender Update Service as part of the change. Following installation of the first update, devices will automatically create a new directory located at %ProgramData%\Microsoft\Microsoft Defender\Defender Update. Microsoft notes that restarts may occasionally be necessary in case of "rare" failure scenarios. For most organizations, the tech giant says no action will be required as long as Microsoft Update is already permitted within their update management strategy. Admins who rely on manually deployed update packages, however, will need to adjust their processes to ensure the new Defender update package is included. Microsoft also recommends reviewing internal documentation and notifying helpdesk and security operations teams about the updated delivery mechanism to avoid confusion during the transition. As a prerequisite, the tech giant notes that systems must be running Sense version 10.8798.25857.1000 or later and have one of the following Windows updates (or later) installed: Win11 24H2 KB5062660 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 23H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win11 22H2 KB5062663 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 22H2 KB5062649 (2025-07 Cumulative Update Preview) Win10 1809 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2019 KB5063877 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2022 KB5063880 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) Server 2025 KB5063878 (2025-08 Cumulative Update) As always, organizations should verify that their update policies align with the new servicing approach before the broader rollout reaches all supported Windows platforms later this year. In case of major problems, the EDR update can be rolled back to the inbox version stored in %ProgramFiles%\\Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) using: MpCmdRun.exe -RevertMde -Product Edr -ToVersion Inbox For those who have access to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center portal, you can view the message here under ID MC1381119.
