I can't believe that mozilla removed version numbers of addons from the main addons page:

I have updated the "classic theme restorer" to the latest beta build which lets you bring it back. I hope mozilla sees some sense and brings it back or at least gives us a setting in about:config to re-enable it.

On what version? I run Firefox beta at work and see the version numbers.  Your screenshot looks like have a small window open and is not full screen. Regardless, why does it even matter? It looks cleaner and better to me... I am sure it says the version if "click" on more or options.

 

EDIT: Nevermind, I missed it says Nighty. You realize that means nothing right? They play with a lot ideas that never make it to the stable channel.

That screenshot is from nightly, i'm running firefox 40 beta 1 and it has no version numbers either.

My bad, I did try to update my comment before you replied. Changes in Nighty mean nothing and why is this a big deal again?

I fail to see why the version numbers matter, it shows them if you open the addon details anyway.

Because obviously the old Firefox UI was perfect, and change == bad. Look at how he as configured the browser as an example.

Yeah, he has installed lots of addons which make the browser sh**ty, laggy and ugly. If 50-100 people out of all Firefox users do it, it's still not enough. That proves they don't like change and their taste is the same as the browser's look they have achieved after so many addons. Period

 

Edit: Firefox's current UI is beautiful, amazing and easy to use. It can't be compared to the old one(where the orange Firefox button was placed top-left) as well as to Chrome or Opera. I like Edge's simple UI, but Firefox's one is top.

Firefox 40 beta has been released and here is the full release notes --> https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/40.0beta/releasenotes/

    Support for Windows 10 including tablet mode

 

No reason for Windows 10 users to be on the stable channel (or anyone) and with 64-bit support.

All they mean is that Firefox can now detect tablet mode (MS didn't make it easy), not that it runs like a Store app in tablet mode.

Even the latest nightly doesn't have Win10 tablet mode fixes in it yet.

.... is there an article on this?

Not that I'm aware of, it's all going in a bit a time. Best way is to follow the main bugs about it.

Bug 1158143 is the bug for theme changes, Bug 1170714 is for tablet mode support (Bug 1170522 was the changes for letting Firefox know about tablet mode) and Bug 1077146 is the overall bug with Win10 work.

Does this indicate that Mozilla will be in Win Ten Store?

"Prepare Firefox for integration in the Windows store"

Dis is good

Why not? Win Ten is gong to arrive in a month.

Huh? I don't know what you are trying to say... Firefox 39.0 does not have support for Windows 10 tablet mode nor a 64-bit version. I am just saying FF users are better off on the beta channel.

Why would I want or need Firefox to be a store app? I would rather them spend their resources getting 64-bit and e10s to stable.

Windows 64-bit binaries and e10s landing in stable is still a ways off.

Everything I heard was by fall or the end of year. The original time table for 64-bit was like spring/summer. It's becoming ridiculous as everyone and their bother has a 64-bit browser now.

I meant that existing store apps are all XAML and such, and support full screen mode because they run on Windows 8.

That said, store apps are the future with the changes MS made in 10, 99% of apps can gladly run as store apps and users will benefit (They can be sandboxed, they've got automatic updates, etc.).

Thanks for the Microsoft marketing promo... Win32 programs work just fine right now, FF already gets automatic updates, and I have no security concerns. It seems to me a win32 program running in a hypervisor would result in a performance hit. Yes? No?

    • You can't remove Safari though. Or almost any other bundled app for that matter, and pretty much all of them are useless to me (and there are is a heap of them compared to Windows). I'll much rather take Edge than Safari, at least it can be highly customized vs. Safari. I'll take a PC with ten Edges over a Mac any day though as I can't stand all the limitation and painfully frustrationg restriction that make me dislike their stuff with a burning passion, iOS included (especially iOS).

    • Glow 26.9 by Razvan Serea Glow provides detailed reporting on every hardware component in your computer, saving you valuable time typically spent searching for CPU, motherboard, RAM, graphics card, and other stats. With Glow, all the information is conveniently presented in one clean interface, allowing you to easily access and review the comprehensive hardware details of your system. Glow provides detailed information on various system aspects, including OS, motherboard, processor, memory, graphics card, storage, network, battery, drivers, and services. The well-organized format ensures easy access to the required information. You can export all the gathered data to a plain text file, facilitating sharing with others for troubleshooting purposes. No installation needed. Just decompress the archive, launch the executable, and access computer-related information. Glow runs on Windows 11 and Windows 10 64-bit versions. Glow 26.9 changelog: New Features The processor hardware detection engine has been significantly enhanced beyond traditional Intel and AMD architectures. Native support is now available for modern platforms such as Apple Silicon (M-Series) and the newly introduced NVIDIA Spark. In addition, all ARM-based processors can now be accurately distinguished between ARM32 and ARM64 architectures, providing precise hardware reporting. This marks a major milestone for Glow's hardware detection capabilities. The RAM manufacturer identification algorithm has been expanded. JEDEC vendor codes for popular brands such as Patriot, PNY, Team Group, GeIL, Lexar (Longsys), and Asgard/Gloway have been integrated into the database. This significantly reduces the likelihood of incorrect or "Unknown Manufacturer" results and improves overall hardware detection accuracy. New Public IP Address and Internet Service Provider (ISP) features have been added to the Network section. To ensure reliability, this information is retrieved from the trusted service ipwho.is. When Hiding Mode is enabled, no requests are sent and these features remain hidden, as they may expose sensitive information. The search engine used in the Installed Drivers, Installed Services, and Installed Applications sections has been enhanced. You can now perform more flexible and accurate searches using initials, partial matches, and loosely arranged character sequences. The TS Preloader loading bar has been rebuilt using our modern TS Custom Controls graphics library, developed entirely in-house. As a result of this infrastructure upgrade, the loading bar now features smooth rendering and rounded corners that align with the visual style of Windows 11. [TS Updater] A new validation algorithm has been added to check whether the target application is currently running before the update process begins. Bug Fixes Resolved a condition that could prevent TS Preloader from shutting down safely during rare application crash scenarios. Fixed a text alignment issue in the Network section affecting the display of DNS addresses. Alignment is now rendered correctly. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue that could prevent the updated application's executable "*.exe" file from being located after the update process. [TS Updater] Fixed a bug that could leave outdated "*.sha256" files in the application directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed a rare issue that could cause subfolders to be moved into the root directory after an update. [TS Updater] Fixed an issue during the first launch that could cause flickering and a temporary white window appearance due to Windows Defender interactions. Changes A small improvement has been made to the internet connectivity detection algorithm. Connectivity checks are now performed in the background with minimal impact on the user interface thread. The keyboard shortcuts in the top menu have been reorganized and simplified to provide a consistent experience across all Türkaysoft applications and to avoid potential conflicts with standard Windows shortcuts. The TS Preloader splash image has been updated with a Türkiye-themed stadium design to celebrate Türkiye's qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup—its first appearance in 24 years. Congratulations, Türkiye! The TS Custom Controls module has been updated to version 26.6, delivering improved stability and a more polished visual appearance. [TS Updater] The application icon has been redesigned to provide a more modern and refined look. Note: Always unzip the program before using it. Otherwise you may get an error.
