Good to know that, tho not all addons are disabled which i use. But that is one of strange things on FF, why extensions need online connection to function.

I use FF for very little these days. Too much interference when I use it. Mostly have to rely on Chrome, unfortunately.

[King Mark]

All these browsers suck

[brassmonkey]

fuking wow! now they want you to allow spyware! this is bullshit!

the hotfix without adjusting privacy
https://storage.googleapis.com/moz-f...0.2-signed.xpi


It may take up to six hours for the Study to be applied to Firefox. To check if the fix has been applied, you can enter “about:studies” in the location bar. If the fix is in the active, you’ll see “hotfix-update-xpi-signing-intermediate-bug-1548973” in either the Active studies or Completed

Chrome is a Google spyware. It has no built-in VPN etc. So fuck it.

I bailed on ff some time ago. Been using Opera

[SleepWalker]

Looks like some people over reacted here! they didn't caused it on purpose...

Anyway the issue has been fixed already and you don't even have to do anything:

So people like me who took their Saturday off didn't even notice.

I posted that link more than 30 hours ago.
80% still have no update.
As for me, I will wait on the overall revision to FF. I still have ie and oprea.
Or, if it will not crash other apps, you can change the date on your machine when the certificate is valid a few days ago. Reboot required.

Google, Microsoft and Facebook give lots of support money to have these browsers molded in particular ways (as well as other folks) and most of it is not in your favor.
I keep thinking someone is going to dev a good open source browser that is not beholdant to them. FF is OS but it has been fashioned in a way they prevents many forks. Think RedHat Linux.

I am doubting the story Mozilla is handing out and will re-think my choices in the future.
Accidentally on purpose or they are just stupid ?
Studies :
They are trying to mold a hotfix method/utility that basically takes a snapshot of your settings among other things. So they know how to avoid the next peek work for those supported players.
It's not about spying on you now. It's about molding the 'methods' for others to spy on you later that do not seem intrusive and go under the radar as most do now.
While the actions you preform on the internet may seem harmless to you and those that capture it, if hacked and or sold to data farms where other data on you is held, it becomes a whole new game.
Face it, tracking has become a big issue now as it should have been a long time ago.
Anyone wanting to run software on my system without express notice and explanation of exactly what info will leave my system and who might receive that data can't be up to anything worth your while. I am not a experiment. This is NOT BETA.

They pipe a new version once a week at least. Wait for it.

ohh.... https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Shield/Shield_Studies

I have had the update and now the little yellow bar has gone from the top of my screen...

I miss the little yellow bar already. I began to lik it and think of it as a new friend. Now it's left me - As usual...

[incredibleworkethic]

There was a setting you could disable for the day as a workaround. Glad to hear it's fixed.

Epic Privacy Brower: https://epicbrowser.com/

It does not have a lot of add-ons available for it, but I do like it. I also like Opera... been using that since it was in Beta and when you had to pay for it. And it's a great browser.
