The camera is listening out for you even when it's "off" (it's never really off), and while Microsoft has issued a statement saying it has "strong privacy protections" in place, people are still rightly concerned that a machine -connected to the internet and featuring a camera which is always listening - might be a problem. \" /] Regrettably, it looks like clueless, out-of-touch Microsoft has another FAIL! on its hands. </pre> Sailfish 2013-05-22T18:41:33 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.mozilla.general/96359 <pre>REF: http://sixrevisions.com/web_design/are-current-web-design-trends-pushing-us-back-to-1999/ [excerpt quote=\" It’s been understood for years now that putting a odometer-style hit counter on a web page is (to put it bluntly) pretty lame. No self-respecting web developer today would even consider doing such a thing, even if a client demanded it. I can tell you right now if any client told me to put one of those on their site, I’d kindly refuse even if it meant losing the client. Some things are just not worth the money. Today, we see a similar trend: a website’s total number of Twitter followers and/or RSS subscribers proudly displayed in a sidebar or website header for all to see. The Twitter buttons below are from Twitter Counter and are just one of many customizable examples of Twitter count widgets out in the wild. \" /] This article hits on several similarities, I especially hate sites that entice me with their link title to view, only to find out it that it requires Chrome to view.

This also means that existing applications in Windows 7 and 8 will respond to your natural hand and finger movements." \" /] While innovative, highly responsive and packed with ample amounts of "Wow!"

Tried removing Firefox and setting with Revo Uninstaller, installing and choosing an old backup from MozBackup with no luck, same thing. Saving to different folders wont work either. It might have something to do with Firefox renaming the *.exe.part to *.exe. Happens on other file types as well, *.zip, *.rar, .jpeg, .jpg, .bmp... Not my antivirus being overzealous either, as it is on demand only. Things are fine if I remember to use DownThemAll. Anyone know if there is anything in the about:config or others setting I can do to stop Firefox deleting them? </pre> John Smith 2013-05-19T12:35:40 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.mozilla.general/96191 <pre> </pre> GerardJan 2013-05-19T19:03:39 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.mozilla.general/96081 <pre>Firefox 22.0b1 is available by automatic update from Firefox 21.0b7, and from... &lt;http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/22.0b1/&gt; Release Notes: &lt;https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/22.0/releasenotes/&gt; Bugs fixed since the release of Firefox 21.0b7. &lt;https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=854319&gt; [Core:Video/Audio]-crash in mozilla::MediaResource::`.* deleting destructor'' [Win] &lt;https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=866514&gt; [Core:WebRTC: Audio/Video]-getAudioTracks and getVideoTracks do not return the correct amount of tracks not too long after the media stream is given in JS [All] &lt;https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=868996&gt; [Core:DOM]-Magento Insert Image button don't work any more.

Fix the problem on http://kb.mozillazine.org/Category:Preferences 2. Add a specific recommended practice that when creating a web page representing the Mozilla project that page be viewed with forcing a large font.

Since upgrading FF to version 20.0.1 a few weeks ago I've been unable to export my bookmarks to an html file as I've always done. I checked the relevant help page and saw that nothing about the procedure has changed. But when I open the library, click on Import &amp; Backup, and select Export bookmarks to HTML, it doesn't work. Instead of asking me if I want to replace the current bookmarks.html as it always did (the save process took about 15-20 seconds), it just instantly saves a little file it labels bookmarks1.html, and that file is almost empty. It saves a tiny number of my bookmarks and cuts off. Whereas the bookmarks export file was around 49 mb, the bookmarks1.html is only a few hundred kb. Does anyone have any idea what to do about this? It's very important to me to be able to export my bookmarks. Thanks.
