Yep. We've seen bugs with different window managers so WebRender is only enabled in Gnome in 84 to minimize the risk of breakage. This restriction will be removed in subsequent releases.
I know the usual rational about users blaming Firefox and yadda yadda but I am rather not convinced this is how things should work in the open desktops. If there are clear bugs in other environments, file them and break them if necessary. The only potential exception I can see is when it's not clear if it's a bug or not..
Huge update for users on new Apple Silicon Macs: > Native support for macOS devices built with Apple Silicon CPUs brings dramatic performance improvements over the non-native build that was shipped in Firefox 83: Firefox launches over 2.5 times faster and web apps are now twice as responsive You will need to do a browser reboot after updating to get the ARM64 version instead of the Rosetta version[1] [1] https://supp…
Ever since I switched to my apple silicon Mac I've been using Safari, an unpleasant side effect being that apple seemed to spy on passwords (the browser freezes unless it remembers your password), and youTube ads
Go into Safari preferences and uncheck the box for remembering passwords (and the ones for remembering other things while you’re there).
Since this is a firefox thread, I have a very annoying bug that I haven't had much luck searching on... any luck here? I really like the picture-in-picture feature of firefox. However, if I have a video in PiP mode and I click pause, randomly about 5-10 seconds later it unpauses and keeps playing. This happens on both Hulu and Netflix.. on multiple computers and has been going on for quite some time. Seems like such…
It is a common thing, so I'm guessing not many other people are experiencing it. I just tried with Netflix, and it doesn't seem to be happening for me. Do you have any unusual peripherals (that might somehow shift focus to the PIP window and send a space or something)? It's certainly worth filing a bug over. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi
I will do that and file a bug report.
I actually just tried again, and Netflix does not seem to be doing it.. only Hulu. It does this on multiple machines so perhaps just Hulu Firefox specific.
The only reason I use Chrome these days is for built in translation. Apart from that it's always FF.
Have you tried the "To Google Translate" Firefox add-on? It's not as seamless as Chrome's built-in translation but it works for me. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/to-google-translate...
I lived in a country where I still spoke English and needed seamless translation for most websites (government, insurance, local news, etc.)
I will have to keep that in mind. A lot of old management interfaces for rack-mount servers run flash for their web interface :S
That sounds interesting, can you please elaborate on the whys and hows?
I have a Cisco R200 server. It has a built in management interface called CIMC. (There is a proper name for that management type software but I can't remember.
From these panels, you can pretty much do anything you want to the physical server - Open a console session, change boot order, bios, etc.
Dear Firefox developers, please fix vsync one day.
Is this an issue specific to certain hardware? We have five Windows 10 computers - 3 Intel laptops, 2 with nVidia graphics. 1 Ryzen laptop with nVidia graphics. 1 Ryzen desktop with Radeon graphics. None of them have the tearing issue when watching videos on YouTube using Firefox. The Ryzen laptop and desktop have 144hz screens. The rest are 60hz.
What do you mean by not native? What bugs do you see?
What could I possibly mean by not native other than not native? Bugs from a quick play-around (comparing with Microsoft Edge): * The zoom with touch pad has a weird latency not present in Edge. * Zoom on touchscreen is janky and jumps around. * Zooming in and then out often (but not consistently) stops working half way through the gesture. * Scrolling behaviour while zoomed is wildly different to native apps like Edg…
> Could a check to see if the name is "localhost" or "*.localhost" suffice to satisfy the "SHOULD NOT" requirement? To satisfy that requirement you have to check for those names and if that's what the name is _not_ ask the "configured caching DNS server". Which means you need to do what? Calling OS APIs will do that DNS server thing unless the name is in /etc/hosts. You could manually parse /etc/hosts and see whether…
> Calling OS APIs will do that DNS server thing Calling the OS APIs isn't calling a DNS server. If the OS API calls a DNS server, that's not really the higher-level API’s problem. If you've decided to override OS APIs and do your own ground up implementation, then you basically need to do everything an OS-level API would do if it was behaving correctly. So you either need to parse all the appropriate system files (ho…
Keep in mind also that in many cases (e.g. when using DNS over HTTPS), Firefox is in fact not using the OS API, and is directly hitting a DNS server instead. Of course in that case whatever is happening in /etc/hosts is either getting ignored anyway or Firefox is parsing it anyway...
