I noticed that after updating to v111 Firefox started sending weird events to the Windows event log every time the browser shows a notification. They're flagged as error-level events even though the text says it's successful, and if it's a basic operational activity it seems like an odd thing to generate an event for at all. Does anyone else see them after going to version 111?
I had an unfortunate mishap where I accidentally deleted a subfolder within my Pictures folder, thankfully I noticed within a few days and simply restored it from the Recycle Bin. All the files were put back instantly, but now they're all missing from any photo albums they were in. I gave it a few days in case it just took time to re-index them or something, but none have been properly restored to their albums. Is there a bug in OneDrive's process for restoring photos from the Recycle Bin?
Are the versions of Firefox in the winget repository (not the MS Store entry) officially managed by Mozilla? I'm curious if there's any way to switch the main entry to use the newer MSIX install packages for Firefox instead of downloading the msi, either that or create a separate entry for the same reason.
I grabbed my laptop in the dark last night and opened Onedrive Web to quickly look for a document only to foolishly get unwittingly blasted by the very bright UI. I looked around for a dark mode option and checked out the official support article, but the toggle for dark mode is missing on my account for some reason. I vaguely remember dark mode being added early this year so I'm not sure if my account just has a problem or if the feature is just rolling out very very slowly.
Before 81.0, Firefox on Windows had a setting in the Privacy & Security section to control whether other apps could use Accessibility Services to hook into Firefox. In version 81, this option appears to have been removed (I can't even seem to find a bullet point in the release notes) and the underlying about:config setting "accessibility.force_disabled" seems to be reverted to the default value of 0. Does anyone know what's going on?
Hi All, I've always known about the HuCard format the Turbografx/PC Engine used, but today my mind was blown when I discovered that the Sega Master System also had a card format for game ROMs (in addition to the more common cartridges that it used). Were there any other consoles that used credit card-shaped formats for ROM storage? The only other one I can find is the BeeCard format, which was evidently the predecessor to HuCards and used only for some MSX computers in Japan.
theverge.comWhile setting up my unlocked S20+ today, I noticed T-Mobile's documentation for the S20 and the OP 8 recommend using the epc.t-mobile.com APN instead of fast.t-mobile.com for data service. They also recommend using a separate MMS APN that uses epc.tmobile.com (note the missing hyphen), which is a bit confusing. Is that going to be the standard configuration for 5g devices?
Hello,
After struggling a few days to setup my Pan Cam I've realized that it can't handle secure wifi management frames (which has apparently been the official recommendation for wifi devices for years). Is there any chance this will be fixed in an update soon?
I thought that Firefox was supposed to finally use native notifications on Windows 10 around this time last year, but as far as I can tell it still uses the old custom notifications exclusively. Do I have a legacy setting somewhere that needs to be unstuck?
Is anyone aware of new restrictions on apps that access the camera (webcam) if the app window is out of focus? I noticed that the facebook messenger app now seems to automatically cut off your camera in a video chat if you click any other application windows. The fb messenger app is a mess generally, but I don't remember it having this particular problem before.
I've noticed that I haven't been able to use my webcam or microphone with any webapps in Firefox (67.0.3) since updating to Windows 1903. Has anyone else seen this problem? My privacy settings in the Windows system settings seem to be correct, but it fails on all sites in Firefox. At test.webrtc.org, I get the error "NotReadableError: Failed to allocate videosource".
I recently noticed that my Thermostat E and Nest Cam devices both seem to constantly broadcast identifiable bluetooth signals long after the initial setup process, and Nest/Google locks out any ability for the user to disable this behavior. There's no benefit to the owner for having bluetooth broadcasting outside of setup mode, but Nest/Google get to quietly conscript their customers into an automatic bluetooth beacon-like location tracking network. Nest needs to provide transparency on anything they do with data harvested from/by our devices bluetooth identifiers, and make perpetual bluetooth an optional feature.
