John Rogers
List of bugs: >You tell me :)
Christopher Johnson
>Never check for updates removed - we Chrome now ;) Well good! One reason why normies love Chrome so much is because it just werks and silently updates itself to faster, better versions.
It doesn't really matter though. Firefox is dying, even in former strongholds like Africa and Europe. Can't even remember the last time I saw FF. IT companies are dropping FF support/testing left and right.
Liam Hernandez
>dropping FF support/testing left and right good
Landon Garcia
Did they fix the windows snapping bug with videos. Drives me insane
Ian Campbell
This only affects users without package managers :^)
>not using Icecat Some fedora maintainer is building it against the latest ESR, it's pretty good.
Wyatt Watson
Developer edition master race
Jose Turner
>using an OS that requires applications to update themselves hahahahahhaahahahhaahhhhahhhahahhaaaaaa
Benjamin Russell
Are you fucking kidding me. Why did everyone suddenly turn to be retarded.
Jackson Nelson
Why would it be good? What's a better alternative?
Michael Nguyen
>mozillians >not retarded pick only one
Noah Jenkins
Chromium.
Robert Butler
Nice botnet you have there
Robert Clark
In an enterprise even IE is prefered over Firefox these days.
Christian Hughes
>in an enterprise where Microsoft basically calls the shots IE is preferred Well fucking no shit. Ask any business that isn't sucking Microsoft's tiny cock what they use and I guarantee it isn't fucking IE.
Jackson Edwards
Ofcourse, it is Chromium in that case.
Hunter Ortiz
That's fine. Better Chromium than fucking IE.
Using Chrome, of course, means you're sucking Google's massive, ugly, disease-filled cock.
Jackson Lee
Why would you NOT update? You lose all security, feature and stability updates this way. Let's not pretend like more than 1% of users disable auto updates or manually stop their package manager from updating Firefox specifically.
It's worse
Nolan Garcia
Because allowing applications to update themselves is fucking stupid and a side effect of using a fucked over, horrible OS.
Nothing to do with upgrading or not upgrading.
Kevin Morgan
Icecat 60 is out and it's good so it doesn't matter that Firefox is shit.
Joshua Sanchez
le blue firefucks
epic
David Cox
So never update anything then, retard. >using a fucked over, horrible OS. What does an OS have to do with anything?
James Rogers
Firefox without antifeatures.
Daniel Bailey
You can still ignore updates they just removed ability to disable them completely but you can still disable them with polices
HAHAHAHAHAHA I'm glad I'm leaving the firefox train last year.
Nathaniel Lopez
Can't you change it in about:config?
David Powell
It is a wise decision. This browser is now borderline malware.
Chase Edwards
Kys, retard
Adrian Green
No. The update about:config options are not respected. Many about:config strings are not rspected in Firefox, especially many containing addresses. Firefox will ping them anyway.
Jace Parker
there's a new option for administrators to control firefox updates.
Aiden Price
>hardware accelerated video decoding Why the hell would anyone want this in a browser. Just use mpv.
Grayson Robinson
So there is nothing to worry about.
Jose Carter
This, internet browsing is hell right now because literally every page has embed videos now. At least we have play with mpv for youtube videos.
Joshua Smith
But Chrome is overtly malware, as are any browsers based on its foundations. So what's the alternative? Edge?
Bentley Allen
Chromium.
Mason Rogers
confirmed underage phoneposter as to be expected of a brainlet
Angel Bell
Pretty much, just shitposting as usual.
Charles Peterson
>>Never check for updates removed - we Chrome now ;)
Does that mean, once updated, it will stay up to date even if retarded IT departments decide not to update software more than once every two years?
>WebKit2/GTK+ eww (cool browser though, I'll have to test it out)
William Sanders
i don't know it seems to work pretty good in nightly
Gabriel Foster
Im a diehard firefox user but the removal of full reskins rocked the boat hard for me. Forced updates is the final straw. Should i switch to opera?
Julian Morris
>Why would you NOT update? Firefox 4.0 is better than the hideous, bloated, vomit inducing mess that is modern firefox. If modern websites would render properly in FF4.0 I would just run that in a sandbox rather than deal with any of the overengineered dumpster fires that are modern web browsers
Adrian Smith
Chromium is Chrome and no amount of meddling will change that. It still phones home to Google no matter what you do.
Juan Ward
>pre-release
Hudson Ward
Meanwhile Firefox phones home to both Mozilla and Google, no matter what you do.
Brayden Fisher
Pre-quantum Firefox looked like shit and wasted screen space.
>no matter what you do Tell that to IceCat
Nolan Nguyen
>Pre-quantum Firefox looked like shit and wasted screen space. Same applies to ff quantum
Face it, web browsers are out of control. The only way to fix this is some sort of new content publishing standard that doesn't rely on retarded and bloated rendering engines for content. Even with how limited markdown is, I would genuinely prefer if websites simply returned their content in that. Someone with energy and resources to spare will eventually realize this and replace web browsers with some sort of lightweight form of displaying content, HTML is too fargone at this point for anything to be salvaged there
Zachary James
It's kind of strange how it coincides with efforts to "reduce toxicity" and "increase diversity in hiring practices"
Cooper King
>If modern websites would render properly in FF4.0 Maybe that's why FF4.0 was less bloated. FF4.0 is bloated as fuck in comparison to Phoenix 0.1 so why not use Phoenix?
Carson Hall
>no matter what you do Are you sure about than, son? Can't you just disable all that shit?
Jace Foster
It doesn't download updates automatically. It checks automatically for updates only. It can still be removed with the new settings for companies.
Asher Russell
>about:debugging how do I get rid of this piece of shit?
it happens when you have experiments and telemetry disabled
delete it C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxxx.default\features\{77fa4c5d-c5bc-4849-9b4a-3b522b5d179f}\[email protected] then change the permissions for the "features" folder to deny write to all users
Alexander Johnson
It's the only good browser, Jow Forumscuck.
Ethan Turner
It's still installing and running a study/experiment when the option is disabled though, regardless of how said thing was acquired.
>he needs to launch external program to play video on the internet absolut state of firefags
Jason Taylor
>current version: 62.0.3 (up to date) >installer downloaded from their website doesn't update to 63 wtf
Gavin Harris
>>>Never check for updates removed - we Chrome now ;)
How does that work if your user account is not allowed to install software? I have had auto update check active before this but the update wouldn't install anyway.
William Martin
Is there a repo for this? googling just gives me some retarded android card game.
I don't need to and I do it because it's better. >better caching >better quality (uses settings) >can use custom scripts >can use custom keybinds You're retarded to not realize this and should try learning something while on a tech board.
Hudson Hernandez
>Firefox 63 >63 >unable to fix random memory leaks for sixty fucking three versions
Michael Wood
who /qutebrowser/ here
Austin Wood
just use esr you stupid faggots all the security updates with no new features
