Windows 10: Firefox Fights Back - Firefox 57

yes, yes, yes that's it. thank you for posting very much appreciated.

 

Hi folks

One thing Firefox does that loads of other browsers can't do is this : FLAC uncompressed sound ---you'd better have a decent sound card and DAC's in your computer and mega quality speakers. Chrome not supported for this application either - only Firefox.


BBC Radio 3 will be streaming The Proms in crisp lossless audio this year | TechRadar

Currently Classical Music - but I'm sure later will be rolled out to other types of gigs -- you have to pick up the live streams though -- currently you can't download (although of course you can always capture in real time with appropriate capturing hardware).

How did you get the add-ons to install. When I check I get the not compatable message and the link is not active.

 

as i said doesn't work nor does the exit under file

 

do you have the official latest firefox released installed? if so then just install the addon in it, restart if asked to, close it, then launch the 57 nightly should be there now. you may need the about:config hack mentioned above.

 

Those extensions were already installed. Before i always used the beta's (but they wouldn't install the newest update) so i downloaded Nightly. Since yesterday's update legacy extensions won't work anymore.
I think you need to install an older version of Fx, install your favorite extensions and then download Nightly.

 

All I can say is you have a problem, both options work just fine for me. Maybe you should try a fresh install??

 

Yup!

 

Not sure Fx 57 will work as designed using non compatible extensions. Any third party theme will break the multiprocessing .

 

Eh, gonna stick with Chrome I guess!

something i didn't think to ask as the addon creators update to the new system will the current addon be autoupdated to it?

 

Chrome it is! *Wink

I like Chrome for it's Sync, Performance and Speed and Voice Search,

but what I really miss with Firefox is "When opening a link in a new Tab, switch to it immediately", (also applies to 'wheel clicking' bookmarks)

and, wheel clicking anywhere on the empty header opens a new tab! *Sad

 

The nightly build of Firefox is the only build I've had loaded in a very long time. My main browser is Pale Moon. I also use Chrome as my secondary browser. I only use Edge for testing. IMHO Edge is far from being ready and if IE is any kind of example MS will never get that right either.

 

Most of the add-ons I use are no longer being updated. If I can't use my add-ons in Firefox or Pale Moon I guess I'll have to find another browser.
