Fix some unexpected logout from Facebook or Google after restart

What sort of bug is this that only affects Facebook & Google?

According to http://spdycheck.org/#google.com google.com supports "h2-14" and "h2-15" which I'm guessing are drafts of HTTP/2?

Right. "h2" is what the final spec should give.

firefox 36 will negotiate any of {h2, h2-14, h2-15}

What OS is this? Or what user interface?

I see font rendering in linux is still pretty horrible.

Font rendering is as configured. See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Font_configuration

Yeah, I know you can make fonts look nice in linux, but distros ship with horrible defaults.

The share and hello icons reappeared in FF 36 after I removed them, this is annoying.

The kind that affects a lot of users and is likely to be reported and fixed.

How did you enable this? I'm on 39 as well and I can't find the option?

Here's what I did : absolutely nothing.

A little icon appeared in the url bar on some website (it's orange when reader view is active, otherwise it's pale blue). I don't know how or why Firefox decides to show this icon. Even better, I just revisited the webpage in the screenshot annnd... no more reader view icon. SoFTWare.

ps: the reader view icon doesn't show anymore. FTWustrating.

About time! I've been using it a lot on FF mobile where it's super useful. This feature was announced long time ago. I've been using the Enjoy Reading extension for a while and found no good replacement when it was abandoned.

For desktop I use the Readability Bookmarklet[1]. Gets the job done.

Fonts configuration is always rather subjective. I often don't like defaults. This applies to any system. Good ones allow greater flexibility. Bad ones assume they know best and force "best defaults" without any way to improve them.
