So, I'm having this "issue" with Aurora that's kinda bugging me lately. I have Aurora set to reopen last tabs/windows from last session, but when the only tabs open are pinned tabs, it also loads my homepage in a new tab whenever I close the browser and then reopen it later.

For example, if I close my browser and I have speed dial (pinned) and neowin.net in another tab, those two tabs will open next time I open Aurora no problem. However, if I close my browser and all I have is speed dial (pinned), when I next open my browser, Aurora opens speed dial(pinned) and my home page in a new tab.

I've tried this on a brand new profile and it still does it, so it's not any of my addons.

Any way to make it stop this?

Does anyone else get issues with firefox freezing periodically during downloads? it will either hang for about 10 seconds when I start a download or it will lock up while "checking download for viruses" at the end. I get this on both desktop and laptop and laptop is a clean windows & nightly install with new profile so it cannot be me. It's bugged me for a while so it must be a bug.

Happens for me with 6.0, 7.0 betas and nightly, yes.

Firefox 6.01, 7.0 Beta 3 and thunderbird 6.01 are out now: ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/

In relation to Thunderbird, is there any way to follow the UI development of this like you can with Firefox, since I want to see if they're actually doing anything to improve the godawful UI it has now.

Yeah, the current thunderbird UI on windows is ridiculously ugly. Seriously, what were they thinking?

So I'm having an odd issue with Firefox nightlies and youtubes ability to add videos to my favorite list. When I click the "Add to" button the option simply isn't there in Firefox, but if I use Chrome it is. I'm also not using adblock.

Anyone else experience this? Already addressed somewhere? Or is this something stupid silly that google is doing to get people to use their browser?

What happened to the IE9-like font rendering in Firefox 7 Beta?

It's not working here... Firefox is rendering fonts in Clear Type!

Firefox now uses gdi classic style font rendering for some fonts by default. Directwrite is still enabled and working (you can check to make sure in about:support)

Chromium:

Firefox(with addons disabled):

I see what you mean now. Just tried with Fx5, 6, 8, and 9 and there are only 3 boxes, so it might be Youtube being selective. I was able to add to favorites in each version so I don't know what's going on there.

Heh, I was right. I just tried changing the Firefox user agent string to Chrome's and now the 4th box shows up. It's just Youtube doing some browser sniffing.

Still not sure about the Favorites thing, though...

Is youtube rolling out another video player update? Haven't seem that UI before.

Just updated to the latest Nightly and Youtube is working fine for me - both adding favorites and the 'expand' button (I'm assuming that's what you meant, kilara). Have you guys tried in safe mode?

I just updated to the latest and the Favorites part is still missing. I do have the expand thing though.

    • Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.
    • In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.
    • Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.
