Actually, I'm thinking about it and wondering whether or not two entries with the same name that are otherwised blocked by a DetectOS will conflict with eachother. Possibly not!
-
My only lasting complain is the non-default-sized title bar and form controls

If we remove the windows version from the two, we'll have an error. I'm not personally sure whether the two can be safely combined, perhaps someone else knows?

Shorter release cycles? Can they get any shorter? Are we all going to be running "nightly" (or better yet "daily"=release "nightly"=beta). Sheesh
I think the idea is that bugfixes and features will be pushed out "when they're ready" vs. on a set schedule. Very useful for security issues, and prevents them from launching half-baked features (I guess?). I run Nightly now and if they could get it to the point of not requring a restart each day to actually apply the update, I really don't think that the model would be a poor choice for the release cycle.
Mozilla and Google seem to be in a race to make browser version numbers irrelevant
-
I know for sure that different versions of windows 7 are not compatible, eg. 7 Home Premium and 7 Professional, so it stands to reason that 32bit and 64bit will not be compatible either. Worth a shot though, as if it's not compatible, it will let you know immediately.
-
TL;DR:
Shorter release cycles
More partnerships with companies / addons (like Pocket)
Functionality polish
More focus on features like e10s (multiprocess firefox)
Removing XUL/XBL (much resistance to this on MozillaZine) and replacing them with web technologies (likely HTML)
Changes to mobila user agent

Try manually clearing your cache from the browsers once using CTRL+SHIFT+DEL to bring up the prompt from within the browsers themselves

At least they're being up front about it scanning computers. Some sites will scan and remove malware with no user interaction because which I'd imagine is they themselves don't want to be infected by their visitors.
How exactly are websites forcing interactions like this on machines
Seems like a big lapse in security on the part of browser vendors if websites can define arbitrary criteria for infections and remove them from the computer. What would stop <company> from removing <competing product> from your machine when you visit their site? -
akamaihd.net?
that's their CDN.
I've been scaling back my idle use of Facebook, uninstalled the apps from my phone a few months ago and haven't looked back.
I think this idea is good on paper, but there better be a way to opt-out or I'll terminate my use of facebook.com immediately, I don't think it's facebook's perogative to scan my computer.

The entries I mentioned in this post http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=32310&p=262796 breaks some of the Chrome extensions. I have provided a solution in the post http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showtopic=32310&p=262822 ,but they ignored it. Please look at the attached snapshot where one of the Chrome extension was broken because of those entries.
I can't reproduce this on windows 8.1.1 Pro x64 and Google Chrome Canary + Latest ABP.

As a nightly tester, I suppose I am meant to give my data to Mozilla
Speaking of Nightly:
npapi plugin sandboxing:
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mozilla.dev.platform/HbX7fw90Q8Q
share rule processors for XUL, scoped, UA, and user stylesheets: (heavy memory gains for AdBlock Plus and its forks, unclear as to whether or not this will affect uBlock/Origin - currently seems as though it will not)

I find this news disturbing:
1.) Candy Crush Saga will be installed on Windows 10 replacing the traditional Windows games:
http://www.theverge.com/2015/5/14/8606925/candy-crush-saga-windows-10
2.) Candy Crush Saga is considered by many sources to be a form of spyware:
http://www.sfgate.com/technology/article/Leaked-docs-NSA-uses-Candy-Crush-Angry-5186801.php
http://www.dailytech.com/NSA+Uses+Angry+Birds+Candy+Crush+to+Spy+on+Americans/article34211.htm
It will be interesting to see just how easy or difficult Microsoft makes it to uninstall Candy Crush Saga after installing Windows 10. I remember in particular the difficulties I went through when I uninstalled Wild Tangent games from my HP laptop after purchasing it, and I certainly hope Candy Crush Saga doesn't prove to be as difficult.
I plan on uninstalling it the same way I uninstalled the built-in windows apps on 8/.1: executing a 'take ownership' on the folder with the program files and deleting them outright.

I've been liking it in my VM. The most important change to me is the removal of the paddedborderwidth (which hopefully means my long-standing firefox bug will become irrelevant). I think some (many) of the icons looks amateur though.

That's a really comprehensive guide for removal; v9 must really root itself in there!

probably adware. try running adwcleaner
-
If you're suspicious it's a file (and not a task or registry) and have some clue as to the name, Search Everything: http://www.voidtools.com/
indexes all the files on a computer and will sort through them in real time

One could say the same about banks (who themselves often do the robbing too..), yet most people still have accounts!

A bit of sanity admist the chaos these events bring is always refreshing

via reddit:
I fixed some of the formatting from reddit to here (and removed some profanity), but it's a bit of a mess and in like six quote boxes for some reason!
EDIT: Reposting this comment up here, because the original commenter deleted his reply and my comment got hidden.Cripes, people, before you run around like headless chickens or start bro-fiving each other for "knowing it all along that online password managers were stupid", RTFA.
If you don't understand how hashed passwords work, and you don't have a clue how LastPass works, allow me to educate you in the simplest terms I can think of as to why this is not nearly as big of a deal as you think it is.**None** of the site passwords (that you enter in for individual sites) were breached. Not in encrypted or even hashed form. All that they got were hashes (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographic_hash_function) of your master password (ignore the scary "master" bit of that word if you don't use LastPass).
A hash (in ELI5 terms) is the product of using a function to transform your plain-text password into something completely and discernibly different (like converting the string "jackthedog" into "D943HJ#GHG$DNM4O&5UTN@FMN"). The type of function used is what determines how easy it is to revert a hash back to its plain-text. I strongly recommend you look at the linked Wikipedia link to learn more.
Now then, the password for your account was hashed with a random salt and 5,000 rounds of client-side PBKDF2-SHA256, and 100,000 rounds of server-side PBKDF2-SHA256. One. Hundred. Thousand. Rounds. Let that sink in. Keep in mind that PBKDF2-SHA256 is purposefully designed to take as much time as possible to even make one attempt at cracking a produced hash.But hey, let's assume they have this hash and they're actively cracking them one at a time (which is really the only "efficient" way of doing it).The immense power and processing that only the most richest of malicious attackers would have would still require a long, long time. We're taking weeks, even months. Even then, cracking your master password with the extreme level of hashing that LastPass puts it through is cost-prohibitively expensive, and you would have to already have been selected as an extremely valuable target for even the most dumbest of malicious attackers to consider you as a candidate for hash cracking. Eventually, the bills, the heat, the energy would all rack up like mad (several hundred to several thousands of dollars is a conservative ballpark).
But hey let's assume that they did it. It's been several weeks, months, or years later, and several hundred or thousand dollars later, and they finally have your password in clear text. Hurrah for the villain. Oh s**t, everything is screwed, all your CCs, passwords, everything is gone!**Except even then, if they go through all that time, effort, and computing power, *if you take 5 seconds change your password now*, the result they end up with (at whatever point in the future weeks, months or even years from now) will be absolutely freakin' useless, because they'll excitedly run over to lastpass.com, enter in this cracked password, and find it to be invalid, all because you were smart, calm, level-headed, and you changed your password a long, long time before they got to this point.**
You are here. You've been made aware of it. Knowing about it is the strongest and most effective weapon you have against this, because every single bit of concern there might be in losing any of your data is dealt with by the five seconds it will take you to change this password. You don't even *need* to enable 2 Factor Authentication, but if you have some time to understand it (it's easy!), you absolutely should do that as well.The people behind LastPass are much, much more intelligent than you or I in the context of cryptography and online security. They know what they are doing. They know the responsibility they uphold. If the idea of an online password manager was easily debunked by a bunch of mainstream users going "What? Store my passwords online? Haha how stupid", than it wouldn't f***ing exist in the first place. Yes, they got hacked. Yes, it was unfortunate. However, their track record has been pretty good up until this point, and the fact that only hashes of a master password (and not a single password or hash or encrypted file) was all that was retrieved, and combined with the fact they're taking pretty extreme measures going forward including forcing master password resets for everyone and adding additional IP-based authentication checks for foreign IPs, that all tells me that they're taking it seriously enough that this will be less likely going forward.
Yes, there is irony in the fact that an online password manager got hacked. But a server is a server is a server. There are many, many things you can do to keep it safe and still be vulnerable, and LastPass does have to balance convenience and security, and thus far, they've done a decent job, and I have no doubt it's going to be now more skewed towards security and not convenience.Change your master password, and you're perfectly fine. It just simply is not possible for anyone to have cracked your password in the time between the breach and the announcement. The hardware just doesn't even exist, and even if they had the power of the world's supercomputers, it still wouldn't happen before you change your password.
Don't eat FUD. Don't get your security news from CNet or your local TV station. Make an effort to understand security and you'll realize why so few security professionals are worried about this, and why it's an inconvenience at worst to have to change your master password.
Seems like a big lapse in security on the part of browser vendors if websites can define arbitrary criteria for infections and remove them from the computer. What would stop <company> from removing <competing product> from your machine when you visit their site?
