    • Enhanced tracking protection: Simplified content blocking settings give users standard, strict, and custom options to control online trackers. A redesigned content blocking section in the site information panel (viewed by expanding the small “i” icon in the address bar) shows what Firefox detects and blocks on each website you visit. To learn more about content blocking, visit the Mozilla Blog.

    • A better experience for multilingual users: An updated Language section in Preferences allows users to install multiple language packs and order language preferences for Firefox and websites, without having to download locale-specific versions.

    • Support for Handoff on macOS: Continue browsing across devices. Pick up where you left off with iOS (via Firefox or Safari) on Firefox on Mac.

    • A better video streaming experience for Windows users: Firefox now supports the next-generation, royalty-free video compression technology called AV1. Read about Mozilla’s contribution to this new open standard.

    • Improved performance and web compatibility, with support for the WebP image format: WebP brings the same image quality as existing formats at smaller file sizes, which saves bandwidth and speeds up page load.

    Changed

    • Enhanced security for macOS, Linux, and Android users via stronger stack smashing protection which is now enabled by default for all platforms. "Stack smashing" is a common security attack in which malicious actors corrupt or take control of a vulnerable program.

    • Firefox will now warn you when closing a window (regardless of whether you have automatic session restore enabled for restart).

    • Easier performance management: The revamped Task Manager page found at about:performance now reports memory usage for tabs and add-ons.

    • Improved the pop-up blocker to prevent multiple pop-up windows from being opened by websites at the same time.

    Enterprise

    Developer

    • Additional support for Flexbox: Launched a new Flexbox inspector tool that details Flexbox containers and helps debug Flex item sizes.

    • All CSS changes made in the Rules panel are now tracked in the new Changes tab.

    • Added support for the Storage Access API on desktop platforms.

    hi willy2,

     

    i have tried this example with ie11 / w8.1 on youtube and it seems to work proberly with settings,

    https://youtu.be/WXBHCQYxwr0

     

    i have shockwave v.32.0.0.101 (the last updatesession was going in the pantys of my laptop) :D

     

    but the loaded page looks a bit strange ...not for nothing is in the header of youtube: "Wir empfehlen Google Chrome für die Wiedergabe von YouTube-Videos - jetzt installieren" -> "We recommend Google Chrome for watching YouTube videos - install now"

     

     

     

    Nevada-Triangle

    in The Lounge

    Posted

    hi fans,

     

    does anyone knows the "nevada triangle"? an area in the sierra nevadas between reno in the north-west, fresno in the south-west and las vegas in the east

     

    i see a documentation right now in the german tv about the nevada-triangle, not so popular as bermuda-triangle, but it seems much more interesting...

     

    in the bermuda-triangle are just a few missing airplanes/ships. as far as i know round 40...

    in the nevada-triangle should be many more lost / missing / crashed planes than in the bermuda-triangle. more than 2.000...

    and in the nevada-triangle such famous places like yosemite-park, the death valley or the area 51 :)

    the best driver updater is already on your system - Windows!
    just let Windows Updates do its job, it'll get there eventually.

    unfortunately, i have to disagree from bad experience with windows update (for drivers)

     

    One or the other (driver)update seems to work, but just one or the other update is not working well. i dont use driver update from windows or others, i search it be myself from the right websites and take it or not. especially for laptops

    i hope so...

    diversity is good and for "best interests of all users , not the "similarity"

     

     

    i remember me darkly, since google chrome was rising, firefox runs after googles development... not the best decision and development for the former leader of the browsers i mean.

    so many ways for it...

     

    ram, hdd, another hardware-issues, wrong driver (also from windows update, also for another hardware), cpu- or mainboard overheading, perhaps a hardware issue with usb-ports on your mainboard..., are the cables connected correctly? and so on...

     

    i remember me darkly from andavari - System File Scanning -> have you tried "sfc /scannow"?

     

    have you tried uninstall the mouse and keyboard driver and work with standard-generic-driver for both that windows give you? (perhaps you can work without the "special-features" of your mouse and keybord for a while to find the problem) :-)

    Has anyone else been getting the slight annoyance of Firefox unpinning itself from the taskbar when you update it from the UI and 'restart Firefox'?

    It's happened to me with the last 3, (possibly 4), Firefox updates.

    ... i dont use update from the ui - i download it.

    Supported browsers

     

    We design GitHub to support the latest web browsers. We support the current versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Microsoft Edge.

    Firefox Extended Support Release

    We do our best to support Firefox's latest Extended Support Release (ESR). Older versions of Firefox may disable some features on GitHub and require the latest version of Firefox.

    Beta and developer builds

    You may encounter unexpected bugs in beta and developer builds of our supported browsers. If you encounter a bug on GitHub in one of these unreleased builds, please verify that it also exists in the stable version of the same browser. If the bug only exists in the unstable version, consider reporting the bug to the browser developer.

    ublock v1.17.4

     

    gorhill released this

    Dec 1, 2018

     

    Notes

    I will keep bringing in WebAssembly ("wasm") versions of key portions of code where it is found to be beneficial. In this release, a wasm version of the algorithm used to lookup a hostname from a set of hostnames has been created (related benchmark page).

    However, only the Firefox version of uBO benefits from this at this point, as it's is not possible to use wasm in the Chromium version without adding 'unsafe-eval' to the extension's own Content Security Policy in its manifest -- which is not something I am willing to do (my view is that any extension using 'unsafe-eval' should be assumed malicious by default). It works in Firefox because the wasm module is loaded using a same-origin fetch, meaning the module can only be loaded from uBO's own package, which is probably what Chromium ought to implement.

    Closed as fixed
