jalaffa Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Firefox is the award winning next generation browser from Mozilla. Firefox empowers you to browse faster, more safely, and more efficiently than with any other browser. Make the switch today - Firefox imports your Favorites, settings and other information, so you have nothing to lose. Stop annoying popup ads in their tracks with Firefox's built in popup blocker. View more than one web page in a single window with this time saving feature. Open links in the background so that they're ready for viewing when you're ready to read them. Built with your security in mind, Firefox keeps your computer safe from malicious spyware by not loading harmful ActiveX controls. A comprehensive set of privacy tools keep your online activity your business.Thanks to sternog for the update.Download Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcs18 Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 The good news is that despite the warning, all those unsigned (and modded by self) add-ons continue to work fully (exactly as expected of Firefox.) A screenie depicting the change pls..... NoScript just released the RC4 which is now compliant with the Mozilla addon-signing requirement. ;)The new RC5 just lost NoScript the addon-signing compliance - what the hell is happening? :unsure: :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnglishLionheart Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 FF 40 x64 Beta 2 keeps crashing on me when I highlight some text and try to copy, cut etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steven36 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Its Fine here on the portable version ..Mabye you should try a clean install of it, there's so many changes to it that it could be anything and also x64 versions are still in beta tell 2016 . . Its hindering the devopler of CyberFox to do Beta 40 it caused application failure because of so much change in the code. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcs18 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Is the bug when u right- click context menu to copy or only while selecting the text it crashes? :think:Before you even have a chance to right-click — the very moment you use the cursor exclusively in one flowing action while holding the the left-click.The problem is solved when using the V40 Beta 1 (without any other change.)

EnglishLionheart Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 How odd, I installed FF 40 x64 Beta 1 over my existing buggy Beta 2 and still had the same highlighting problem of it crashing. Rather than a fresh install, I've installed FF 39 x64 Beta 7 over it, seems ok for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcs18 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Google Encrypted search engine continues to work with Firefox 40 beta 2 — without being overridden by any of the other built-in search engines.Was just trying-out the older V39 which uses the older Google search engine implementation, that had to be hacked on every Firefox update. :(Glad to announce that the present modified Google search implementation holds its own and no longer needs to be hacked at every Firefox update.
