    2) Then I ran WU today again and it now recommended (among 5 others) to install (Surprise #1) a "Cumulative Security Update for IE 11" from (Surprise #2) september 2016 !!! And 3 of those recommended (security) updates were from (surprise #3) 2014 and 2016 (twice) !!!

    the cumulative updates are normally for linear-install in direction of future - it seems work in direction of past too :)

     

    i think with the smaller rollup there are a few things deliver later for your personal kind of windows - if i remember me darkly you have write in the past you installed security updates for windows and security updates for ie11 separatly + preview rollups... perhaps there are some of the ie-updates out of date (in your update-collection) that are replaced? and windows was so smart to change this kind of older update-versions :lol: perhaps you have become the "best" securityagency-updates of ie11 :D

    • Firefox Home (the default New Tab) now allows users to display up to 4 rows of top sites, Pocket stories, and highlights

    • “Reopen in Container” tab menu option appears for users with Containers that lets them choose to reopen a tab in a different container

    • In advance of removing all trust for Symantec-issued certificates in Firefox 63, a preference was added that allows users to distrust certificates issued by Symantec. To use this preference, go to about:config in the address bar and set the preference "security.pki.distrust_ca_policy" to 2.

    • Added FreeBSD support for WebAuthn

    • Improved graphics rendering for Windows users without accelerated hardware using Parallel-Off-Main-Thread Painting

    • Support for CSS Shapes, allowing for richer web page layouts. This goes hand in hand with a brand new Shape Path Editor in the CSS inspector.

    • CSS Variable Fonts (OpenType Font Variations) support, which makes it possible to create beautiful typography with a single font file

    • Updates for enterprise environments:

      • AutoConfig is sandboxed to the documented API by default. You
        can disable the sandbox by setting the preference
        general.config.sandbox_enabled to false. Our long term plan is to
        remove the ability to turn off the sandboxing. If you need to
        continue to use more complex AutoConfig scripts, you will need to use
        Firefox Extended Support Release (ESR).

    • Added Canadian English (en-CA) locale

    Changed

    • Removed the description field for bookmarks. Users who have stored descriptions using the field may wish to export these descriptions as html or json files, as they will be removed in a future release.

    • Dark theme is automatically enabled in macOS 10.14 dark mode

    • Changed the default setting to Enforce (3) for the security.pki.name_matching_mode preference

    • Adobe Flash applets now run in a more secure mode using process sandboxing on macOS. Learn how this may affect features here.

    • Users disconnecting from Sync are now offered the option to wipe their Firefox profile data (including bookmarks, passwords, history, cookies, and site data) from their desktop computer

    • Changed how WebRTC handles screen sharing: When screen-sharing a window, the window will be brought to front

    Developer

    • Three-pane Inspector in Developer Tools separates the rules into its own panel

    ... c:\temp ... is not the default folder in Windows and usually no folder with this path, only you have it created and set manually

    to you mean c:\windows\temp?

    I decided to create an emergency fix for a bug which was spotted for uMatrix but which also affects uBO:
    "My rules tab hangs with cloud storage support"

    If using cloud storage, there is a small probability uBO could be stuck in an infinite loop when reading back the data from the cloud storage, something which may occurs when the following conditions are fulfilled:

    • You checked the setting "Enable cloud storage support";
    • You saved data into the cloud storage for a given pane;
    • The amount (in bytes) of data that was saved into the cloud storage for that given pane is rather high and such that the "chunkification" of that data results in a chunk count which is a multiple of 16;
      • Large amount of data is more likely for the "My filters" and "My rules" panes.
      • Sorry for the cryptic explanation, I don't know how else to describe this.
    • You open the pane in the dashboard for which the conditions above are true.

    If the bug is triggered, uBO could be stuck in an infinite loop in its main process, thus preventing it from doing its job.

    This is not a regression, but rather a bug that has been hiding in there since quite a long time.

    Microsoft forgot to change an expiration date, and now all attempts to run Windows Update in Win7 are failing with the bogus message “Windows Update cannot currently check for updates, because the service is not running.”

    rechtsklick auf die Flagge links neben der Windows-Uhr/Datumsanzeige

    -> wähle "Problem behandeln"

    -> wähle unter SYSTEM UND SICHERHEIT -> "Probleme mit Windows beheben"

     

     

    i dont know the exactly names at the english windows-version - perhaps similar:

    -> rightclick on the flag left from the time/date-thing on the taskbar

    -> troubleshoot -> under SYSTEM AND SECURITY -> fix problems with windows update

    A new pane has been added in the dashboard for the Firefox version of uBO: Shortcuts. The purpose is to be able to assign keyboard shortcuts to some common operations. (Chromium-based browsers have a centralized keyboard shortcut UI, so the pane is not necessary for Chromium-based browsers.)
