nsane.forums Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 The latest versions of Firefox Beta and Firefox Beta for Android come with the ability to browse privately on a per-tab basis, among other improvements. Desktops get a new Download Manager in Firefox 20 Beta. Private browsing, or 'porn mode' for people with more prurient Web browsing requirements, will soon be available in Firefox on a per-tab basis. The latest versions of Firefox 20 Beta and Firefox 20 Beta for Android (download) have been updated to allow people to choose private browsing on a per-tab basis. Private browsing disables built-in browser recording, including history and cookies. This is a pretty big change for Private Browsing aficionados, since previously in Firefox switching to Private Browsing would save all your tabs, close the window, and open a new Private Browsing window without any previously-running tabs. The new behavior allows Private Browsing tabs to run side-by-side with non-Private tabs. Mozilla continues to crack down on unexpected or unauthorized alterations to the browser. In this beta, Firefox will offer to reset the location bar search provider to the default if it has been changed by a third-party such as an add-on provider. Other improvements to Firefox Beta for desktops include a new Download Manager that moves the feature to the browser's toolbar from its traditional management pane in a new window, and a plug-in warning that lets you know when a plug-in has been frozen for more than 45 seconds. It gives you the option of restarting the plug-in, instead of the entire browser. Under the hood, the new Firefox Beta for desktops now supports getUserMedia for recording from your mic or webcam in the browser; CSS FlexBox, for having site content automatically resize depending on screen dimensions; the Developer Toolbox, for quickly accessing developer tools; and Canvas Blend Modes for improved visual effects. In addition to the Private Browsing changes, Firefox 20 Beta for Android comes with the ability to customize your Home screen shortcuts, and system requirements for Firefox for Android have been lowered again. The browser will now work on Android devices with 384MB of RAM and QVGA displays, including but not limited to the Samsung Galaxy Next, HTC Aria, HTC Legend, Samsung Dart, Samsung Galaxy Pop, and the Samsung Galaxy Q.View: Original Article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JessicaLeigh Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Looking forward to this so called new Download Manager would be awesome if the download manager had resume abilities.I'm not sure if that is even possible; given the fact that the server you're downloading from itself must support resume download capabilities.

But yea, the server itself has to support resuming for it to work properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator DKT27 Posted February 27, 2013 Administrator Share Posted February 27, 2013 Welcome. :)Let me give an example. For many years, the files we "hosted" on FP and forums, files like K-Lite, etc. had no resume capabilities. Means, if you paused the download or got a disconnection while downloading, you'd have to start the download again from the start. Later, one of the members (rudrax I believe) asked for the feature, and bam, in no time, shought comes with a script that adds that function. From that day, any file you download from nsane (note: NOT proxy files) have pause / resume capability, no matter what download manager or browser you used.And yea, any file hosting site, like Rapidshare or some other, asks you to buy their premium account just to get pause / resume capabilities, are just greedy idiots.

ck_kent Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 And yea, any file hosting site, like Rapidshare or some other, asks you to buy their premium account just to get pause / resume capabilities, are just greedy idiots.There are actually hosting sites like Putlocker, Sockshare, Sharebeast, Peejeshare, Sendspace, among others that offer pausing and resuming your downloads using their free/anonymous account.
