I have been hearing issues about this at Go Firefox! But since I use Chrome for playing videos I was not aware how much on an issue it was.

Firefox and/or Flash Player may crash or not load videos using Flash Player, or videos may not display correctly. Adobe and Mozilla are working closely to diagnose and address these issues.

Prior to the release of Thunderbird 13, the Dropbox feature which allowed users to attach large files from The Cloud (after uploading through Dropbox) had been removed [Bug 754993]. I recall early on there were some security concerns about this feature from business users. They had wanted the ability to disable this feature so that proprietary information couldn’t accidentally be placed on The Cloud. Now, it is being restored, as an add-on with a target milestone of Thunderbird 16 (due for release around October 9, 2012) [Bug 763471].
After a little over a week delay, the merge for Thunderbird 15 on to the Earlybird channel is completed. However, at this time the update channel has not been reactivated.

Warning: Lightning Users! There are currently no builds available for Windows or Mac OSX on either the Earlybird or Daily builds. Keep checking the MDN Calendar Versions site to check for updates.
Just updated my plugins on my main machine as advised in our post yesterday. When I ran the Adobe Flash Installer,I was asked about how to install updates then when it went to install I noticed it was also installing McAfee Security Scan Plus. I canceled the install (which also deletes the installer file) and went back into Firefox and re-downloaded the installer. Upon running again the first screen was the prompt about how to install updates and then clicking next (or was it continue) takes me to the installation. While it is not unusual for these plugins to come with bloatware,…

With Firefox 13, Mozilla has changed the behaviour of new tabs as we had mentioned last month. Now when opening a new tab, a list of recently visited sites are displayed including thumbnails of said sites. There has been a lot of demand for that feature by Firefox users as Chrome has had it for long time and I think Opera does as well. To turn it off (permanently) and go back to a blank page follow these directions: 1) Type in “about:config” (without the quotes) in the browser address bar and then press enter. 2) Click on the warning “I’ll…
