Something happened on v42, I was on beta channel and suddenly it was updated from b9 to 42.0 stable version and I'm still on beta channel.

so, how can I download the v43 beta 1?

any ideas?

there is no v43 Beta. Version 42 isnt out yet

The version attribute is something that's been done for years (I think even as far back as pre-Firefox Gecko), adding new reserved keywords is hard because it can conflict with existing variable names in code (A dev opting into a newer JS version sees the error, The browser opting the code in just breaks it for end users)

They raise the default version pretty quickly, it's not a huge issue.

Edit: I can't read page numbers and have no idea how to add a quote so this is for the last page (Y)

it probably upgraded you to 42 rc1.

Probably yeah! but thanks that I cannot continue testing my ad-ons I'm developing hehehe, seems I need to install a nightly build now, which I do not want because I don't want it to interfere with my daily surfing browser and dev test day.

you could always download the portable version from PortableApps.com that way it uses a separate profile

Never really expected Firefox to fall behind IE11 and Chrome - it seems that it will be soon supported properly - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=932513

Doesn't surprise me, it's incompatible with the XUL deprecation plan (That is, themes wouldn't work with a HTML based interface unless they do really odd stuff), and they're a cause of end user issues (misplaced UI elements when upgrading) and break fairly constantly and require a fair bit of upkeep (Since they're directly dependent on the XUL layout of the main Firefox UI, move an element and themes break)

That's where I got it but I wanted to know if it had issues I should be wary about.

Nah, it's as official as you're going to get, it's just that there were "partner" issues preventing it being put on the site currently.

The Adobe DRM module works with it, Netflix runs fine, etc. Only issues you'll hit are due to the deprecation of every plugin other than Flash (No Silverlight, Java, Unity player, etc.)

Is Mozilla planning on giving us the title bar color again now in Windows 10 th2? Gray color looks so bad.

You can add it yourself.

@namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul")
/*
 ****** Apply Win10 Accent Colour
 */
@-moz-document url(chrome://browser/content/browser.xul) {
  @media (-moz-os-version: windows-win10) {
    #main-window:not([customizing]){
      -moz-appearance: -moz-win-glass !important;
      background-color: transparent !important;
    }
  }
}

Insert this code in the "userChrome.css" file located in the "chrome" folder for your profile and the title bar will take the accent colour of your theme.

Not working the way it should, buttons look ugly when mouse is over them. Chrome has this and looks cool.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
