    'HSTS' stands for 'HTTP Strict Transport Security' policy

     

    [stored HSTS Cookies*]

    LangSecRef=3026

    SpecialDetect=DET_MOZILLA

    Default=False

    FileKey1=%AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\*|SiteSecurityServiceState.txt

     

    [stored Timestamps*]

    That latter one is definitely a no go unless you want to wipe all your FF settings, which I doubt many want to, so should not be added.

  2. WRT html5 problems on YT, have any of you tried Nightly? 1080p@60fps works without issue for me in Nightly these days.

    I gave up a couple of days ago and installed the YouTube Flash player addon. So nice to see videos actually play again!

  3. I thought YouTube's website gave you the option to use flash (though why you'd want to I guess is up to you)

    Nope, not for a long time (as far as I'm aware). It's terrible in FF, I've seen smoother playback on dial up! And don't dare open a few youtube tabs or it'll just fall to the floor and throw a tantrum ^_^

  4. Not sure, the link in the article took me to a raw ftp structure download, I haven't gotten through the mozilla post yet.

    No probs, will go Googling when I get a chance (rather than be lazy and just ask without checking for myself ;) )

  5. Fork for those who don't want the HTML5-DRM playback plugin. Mozilla Launches A New Firefox Version Without DRM Support Techcrunch article http://flip.it/yiMzf

    Will that update from within the browser the same or will it require a seperate download every update? (and I wish I'd seen your post about 20 mins ago before I update ^_^ )

  6. OpenDNS told me lies.

     

    When the site was down and I PINGed I got a positive response,

    but looking closer the response did NOT come from forum.piriform.com

    instead OpenDNS substituted its own Adserver site.

     

    That ticked me of and I no longer use them 

    Not quite sure what it's got to do with this topic, BUT OpenDNS don't serve ads any more

  7. It holds cache of installed Microsoft Visual C++. Look at the attached snapshot as an example.

     

    attachicon.gifvisualC++.png

    AND several driver installers (on my machine anyway), so I'll leave it rather than face the inevitable "installation source not found" type errors

     

    I'm not having an issue after removing this. You should give it a try yourself.

    Yet ;)

     

  8. Well I discovered the cause of the YouTube bug I had with FF37, so for anyone else with the same issue: It was having layers.offmainthreadcomposition.enabled set to false (Bug 1141433). Something I, and many others, did around the time of FF33 as a fix for browser lockups that started with FF33. Setting that back to true fixed Youtube, and touch wood, has had none of the ill effects I disabled it for in the first place.

    It also fixed two other issues I'd noticed since the FF37 release - Vine videos didn't load, and bizarrely, Google maps displayed upside down and back to front (seriously, check the screenshot)! Due to the timing of the release I just put it down to one of Googles wacky April fools jokes, only realised last night it was an actual bug! Note to Mozilla - avoid releases around April 1st :rolleyes:

  9. I have no idea why FF decided not to make it known up front that FF37 is 64-bit and must be installed in the Program Files folder, not the Program Files(x86) folder where earlier versions of FF have installed.

    Probably cos it's not - that will/should be FF38

  10. Anyone else having issues with YouTube since updating to FF37? I know they've forced html5 on YouTube in this update but now videos aren't resizing to fit the video window, ie changing video 240 res gives a tiny video in top left corner, selecting 720 res stretches the video bigger than the video window:

    EDIT: For anyone else having issues, setting "media.fragmented-mp4.enabled" in about:config to false appears to fix it for me

  11. Longest warning EVER in the previous post, most users "too long" = "don't read and just press ok"

    I think it can safely be reduced to "Removes registry backups created during a registry compaction. Requires reboot before deletion is possible"

  12. Should be working from winapp2.com again - they've concluded an update to a firewall applied to the domain for a long time suddenly started interfering

    Whatever happened to "CCleaner ini clean.bat"? I've still got it in my CC folder, and run once in a blue moon, not one for the winapp site? Or is it just pointless (can't say I've ever noticed CC launch quicker after running it but my OCD side likes it ^_^ )

  13. Firefox v36.0 out:

     

    # New
    - Pinned tiles on the new tab page can be synced
    - Support for the full HTTP/2 protocol. HTTP/2 enables a faster, more scalable, and more responsive web.

    - Changed JavaScript 'const' semantics to conform better to the ES6 specification. The const declaration is now block-scoped and requires an initializer. It also can not be redeclared anymore.

    [Adobe Patch Files*]

    LangSecRef=3021

    Detect=HKCU\Software\Adobe

    Default=False

    FileKey1=%ProgramFiles%\Adobe\Adobe|*.*|REMOVESELF

     

    attachicon.gifadobepatchfiles.jpg

    I'd suggest using the full filepath of %ProgramFiles%\Adobe\Adobe\AdobePatchFiles, just in case Adobe choose to put anything else in the Adobe folder

  15. I jumped ship from Firefox after F.F. version 18 because it started to find different ways to go wrong each time I started up Windows.

    I jumped ship from Palemoon after it kept finding ways to go wrong after forking away from Firefox lol
