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)

    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance by David Uzondu Recently, the UK's Home Office announced a sweeping set of proposals to make Britain the "first country in the world" where children cannot share or view nude photos on their smart devices, an initiative that authorities claim will protect children from online predators and combat pornography. In response, Signal believes that while the government must keep children "safe" and "protected," it should do so through social services and education, not by "surveillance, funding cuts, and cover-ups." The company called the plan "dystopian" and warned that it violates everyone's fundamental right to privacy, arguing that scanning on the presumption of nudity will only strengthen the market dominance and data control of giant corporations like Apple and Google. The statement continues by accusing the government of hiding its true intentions under the guise of child safety. Signal argues that the Home Office is building an invisible surveillance infrastructure that remains ripe for exploitation by future administrations and authoritarian regimes. According to the company, this aggressive approach completely ignores the actual needs of young people, such as properly funded schools and mental health services. Tech companies like Apple and Google have a three-month window to implement these mandatory device-level filters across the United Kingdom. If these tech firms refuse to comply with the mandate, the government will pass emergency legislation to force them to comply, threatening massive fines and even going after the CEOs of these companies with criminal charges. The technology will work by blocking explicit images directly on the operating system of all smartphones and tablets by default. This system monitors the device camera and third-party apps to intercept nudity before anyone can upload or send the image. Adults can still view explicit content, but only after completing a strict age verification check to unlock their devices. Several bodies like the NSPCC and Barnardo's praised the Home Office's decision, arguing that device-level intervention stops the cycle of grooming before it starts. The Internet Watch Foundation (IWF) also supported the policy, claiming that tech companies can implement on-device checks "without threatening privacy or collecting any data."
    • Did you watch the keynote? It is way beyond what is described in this article. Looks interesting. Now it is time for them to deliver unlike what happened in 24.
