    ff v 57

    November 14, 2017

     

    New

    • A completely new browsing engine, designed to take full advantage of the processing power in modern devices

    • A redesigned interface with a clean, modern appearance, consistent visual elements, and optimizations for touch screens

    • A unified address and search bar. New installs will see this unified bar. Learn how to add the stand-alone search bar to the toolbar

    • A revamped new tab page that includes top visited sites, recently visited pages, and recommendations from Pocket (in the US, Canada, and Germany)

    • An updated product tour to orient new and returning Firefox users

    • Video decoding is shut down when the tab playing the media is sent to the background or the video is not visible on the screen. Video resumes when the media tab is in the foreground and the player is visible on the screen. Audio will not be affected.

    • AMD VP9 hardware video decoder support for improved video playback with lower power consumption

    • An expanded section in preferences to manage all website permissions

    Fixed

    Changed

    • Firefox now exclusively supports extensions built using the WebExtension API, and unsupported legacy extensions will no longer work. Learn more about our efforts to improve the performance and security of extensions

    • The browser's autoscroll feature, as well as scrolling by keyboard input and touch-dragging of scrollbars, now use asynchronous scrolling. These scrolling methods are now similar to other input methods like mousewheel, and provide a smoother scrolling experience

    • The content process now has a stricter security sandbox that blocks filesystem reading and writing on Linux, similar to the protections for Windows and macOS that shipped in Firefox 56

    • Middle mouse paste in the content area no longer navigates to URLs by default on Unix systems

    • Removed the toolbar Share button. If you relied on this feature, you can install the Share Backported extension instead.

    • Some older versions of the ATOK IME, including ATOK 2006, 2008, 2009 and 2010, can cause crashes and are therefore disabled on the Windows 64-bit version of Firefox Quantum. To fix those incompatibility issues, please use a newer version of ATOK or one of other IMEs.

    • The default font for Japanese text is now Meiryo

    Developer

    • Complete visual refresh of both the Light and Dark DevTools themes, matching the new visual style of Firefox Quantum

    • The Inspector shows the values of CSS variables on hover

    • Completely new and re-designed Console panel. Joining the Debugger and the Network Monitor, the Console has been rewritten using modern web technologies such as React and Redux. It now also allows inspection of objects in context.

    Developer Information

    unresolved

    • Users running Firefox for Windows over a Remote Desktop Connection (RDP) may find that audio playback is disabled due to increased security restrictions. Learn how to mitigate this issue until it is corrected in an upcoming release

    • Users running screen readers may experience performance issues and are advised to use Firefox ESR until performance issues are resolved in an upcoming future release

    • On Windows and Linux, Firefox crashes occasionally on Intel Broadwell-U processors with old microcode. Windows users should ensure Windows Update is set to install updates. Linux users should ensure that the distribution package for Intel microcode is installed.

    ublock v1.14.20

    Changes

    The filter list "AAK-Cont Filters For uBlock Origin" has been removed from stock filter lists, it is no longer maintained. See #3241. Note that uBO is equipped to deal with anti-blockers, it's just a matter of users reporting instances to volunteer maintainers. Everybody is welcomed to assist in finding solutions to reported filter issues.

    The DOM inspector has been improved a bit to make it more usable (see #407). Some refactoring was necessary to move forward this part, and as a result the DOM inspector is currently not available on legacy Firefox. This will be addressed only as time allow. Note that I still consider the DOM inspector to be work in progress. In case you wonder, the DOM inspector is the best way to visualize the effects of cosmetic filters on a page and to create exception cosmetic filters.

    The semantic of the no-csp-reports switch has been changed from "block CSP reports from" to "block CSP reports to". This does not change the behavior of the "Block CSP reports" setting. This change of semantic makes sense, and this also removes an incompatibility with NoScript 10 (see #3260).

    With Firefox 52 ESR 32-bit nothing past 1.13.8 is compatible according to the Firefox add-on page - so the incompatibility probably saved me all sorts of problems!

    Opera add-ons page still only shows 1.14.8 :(

    i have bad news for you...

     

    origin ublock supports only the current versions of firefox, chrome, safari, internet explorer 11 and microsoft edge.

    the current ff esr is supported only as far as it possible. older versions maybe deactivate some features

     

    ie is only supported in "standard mode" - perhaps disable "compatibility view"

     

    ie on xp is not supported because xp is not supported.

     

    perhaps opera is no longer supported...

    - @Trium: The link Hazelnut provided shows that Windows 7 SP 1 and Windows 8 come with .NET pre-installed. Whether you like it or not.

    yes, of course willy :-) but only with 3.5 at the start. perhaps later a installed software installed a newer net. i have found many of visual c++ or something, visual studio...

      • Not visible...
        • Swiping left or touching it will un-hide it.

    change language for mac ?

    in CCleaner for Mac

    Posted

    hello saignee,

     

    i dont know if this is the same as in windows versions...

     

    if you cant read this language

     

    --> 4th icon on left side (options)

    --> the next column --> first above (settings)

    --> in the ccleaner internal-window --> first option (language) chose your language

     

     

    an other simply way,

     

    reinstall from your downloadet ccleaner-file and with the install-process there comes the install-language-question
