Firefox 14.01

MilesAhead:
I was happy running FF 4 but I noticed this article about FF 14.01 sending google searches via https. Not sure how much difference that makes, but you don't have to set anything to do it. It comes that way. I just updated over 4 and my google search does in fact use https to get the goods.

I'm using it now. I just updated a few minutes ago. So far it doesn't seem like I have to do anything. The AddOns that were disabled I don't think I need anyway. FDM I don't need the plug-in. Just drag download to the desktop target. FF is my secondary so that's why I'm less concerned.

The main thing is LastPass works.

So far so good. :)

edit: Whoops. Forgot to post the Addictive Tips link:

Firefox 14.01

here's the changelog: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/14.0/releasenotes/

Tuxman:
And Firefox 15 is already in the beta stage.  ;D

IIRC Google has been supporting (and optionally defaulting to) HTTPS for a while yet? (I'm on SSL DuckDuckGo anyway.)

I'm using chromium as primary. Guess it has its own settings with macros. To move it to https I had to delete it, add it in the "other" section, then make it default. edit: glad you asked the question. That gave me the impetus to update the settings in chromium.

So far 14.01 feels just like 4.  Which is a good thing I guess.  It's a shame the author of SyncPlaces has thrown in the towel. That was the only bookmark sync I knew of where you could use your own ftp page for storage, that worked. Fortunately CheckPlaces still works. I can upload from chromium using Xmark sync, then download into FF.  Then use CheckPlaces to load the favicons.

I assume "fish" is euphemism for excrement, or some other unpleasant item(s). :)

Tuxman:
then download into FF.
