"Drag and drop enabled for nodes in Inspector markup view " This is going to make me never use Chrome dev tools again. Nice

I can't think of a situation that would make me want to move nodes around from place to place. Where would that be useful?

YES. Force them to upgrade their weak sites!

Which unfortunately costs time and money. Whilst yes, they should be up to date and secure, banks are pretty big businesses and require more time. One day they'll catch up.

Banks handle everyone's money and are high-profile targets for compromise over the network. As such, they should be obliged to keep current with best security practices as the technology evolves, not lag far behind these.

A position:absolute div with position:relative parent made sibling of the parent can behave differently.

The color was not specified before, so it was up to the font creator. I think yellow was the most common choice. The test page shows all the icons as blue in my browser. I'm not against the new changes, but I think the old version was more popular in Asian countries than anywhere else, and wasn't really pro-white.

> The color was not specified before, so it was up to the font creator. I think yellow was the most common choice. Nope. Usually white (Apple, Japanese phones).

Thanks for the info. Still, it's hard to believe that Japanese phones would put Caucasian people all over their emoji. Related: "Why Do the Japanese Draw Themselves as White?" https://abagond.wordpress.com/2010/06/16/why-do-the-japanese...

Yey for progress, but one of the most annoying things for me with FF is that if I cmd-t for a new tab, I can't start typing right away for a new search and have that get preserved. There's always some lag and only then do my keys get transcribed. Safari and chrome don't have this problem, and it drives me insane.

That would annoy me too, but I've never noticed it. My main laptop is a Core 2 Duo, so not a speed demon. Have you tried with extensions disabled and/or with a new profile?

I love that the Fetch API is happening (has happened!): https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Fetch_API fetch(url).then(data => ...) Not earth-shattering, but much more fun than XHR!

Guess nobody told them,

They're not white in the sense of "European". They just have a light skin colour. Japanese skin isn't bright yellow.

A Japanese person draws a simple human face, an American draws a simple human face, both will draw "white" skin.

We've been making that joke internally at Mozilla for at least a year.

Way back up in this comment:

How so? If you're white, perhaps you see no problem with making everyone's skin white.

But the billions of people who aren't white might have a problem with it.

I really thought you meant Caucasian. Did you just mean light-skinned?
