Windows 10: Firefox Startup Anomoly

Do Whattttt!?!?

I just opened Firefox and got this!





I have never . . . When did this . . . Well, whaddaya think . . . I'm speechless, to say the least!

Edit: Well, obviously, when I closed Firefox and restarted, it did what it's supposed to do. This is one weird thing to happen.

Has anyone else experienced this anomoly?

 

Powershell XML handling anomolies

I have some XML which I can read and write quite happily but during my learning curve I have come across some interesting behaviour and wanted to know if this is intentional or a bug as it will affect what happens in the script I have when/if it changes.

When you gather information from an XML file you can get a collection of nodes (these are in the variable $Global:nodes). When that collection is two or more then this statement:

$Global:Nodes.Count

Returns a count of 2 and each node/node attribute can be accessed by:

$GlobalriveUID=$Global:Nodes.uid[$x-1]

Where $x is the value of $Global:Nodes.Count The array starts at zero so you always have to subtract one to get the item you are interested in.

However when the XML one has one item that is returned the $Global:Nodes.Count does not contain 1 it is a $Null value and when you try to address the array using $GlobalriveUID=$Global:Nodes.uid[0] you actually get the first character of the UID rather
than the whole UID when there is more than one entry in the array of returned nodes.

The XML looks like this (edited a little with the vertical ellipses) The collection of nodes is returned using this NodePath:

This is why I switched to Cyberfox 64 Bit. It is in shape.

 

I'm not abandoning FF just because of one blip on the radar. Just not worth it to have to learn another new one.

 

I think he was making a joke: "Warming up" as in sport & "In Shape" as in "Get in shape"*Smile

 

<hehehe> Cyberfox may be in shape, but I've been disappointed with so many newer browsers that I'm not gonna try another one. *Sad Got more things to do with my time.

 

I can understand that, they'll(MS) will have to pry IE out of my cold dead SSD before I give it up. I already have Chrome and Fire Fox running like IE, but their GUI's are not IE...

 

Where did I tell you to abandon Firefox? I did and now I am back on it as the problem is not with the browser it is with this thing they call Windows 10. Oh and there are many blips on the radar as far as Fx goes.
