If you use Firefox and visited YouTube on Tuesday and/or Wednesday, you should have noticed that the padlock in the address bar wasn't green, but grey with a orange/yellow triangle. Google/YouTube was delivering insecure passive content to Firefox users from gstatic.com.

It is /was blue for me as is this site. No triangle.

Thanks, DooGie. I'll try this one. Avoided b3 cause I thought it came out way too early.

Beta 4 is working well here TC

I've never felt that the early betas are released too soon as there has been around 4 weeks testing them as nightly releases.

Maybe it was just the timing on this one. You posted b3 was available a day before 68 went public. Yeah, b4 is running good so far. Seemed to open faster.

I came across an interesting discussion on the webdev reddit about how Mozilla is dealing with the increasing number of websites that are ignoring web standards and designing their sites to only work with Chrome (and Chromium-based browers).

How Firefox 68 tackles web compatibility issues by spoofing UA or injecting CSS/JS into sites

Hi all,

Firefox 68 has a new page called about:compat.

Chrome has a majority of market share. This is not news. This comes with a downside: a lot of sites are "built for Chrome" and not for the web using web standards.

Mozilla tries to tackle this in three ways:

1. A bug tracker for the web Bug reporting for the web | webcompat.com where anybody can report any bug for sites that work only in one browser.

2. Implement non-standard features like things with -webkit prefixes. Firefox 49 had more than 60 non-standard webkit features added, and that is only one release.

3. The new about:compat page which show you how Firefox is intervening in various pages, the bugs that were raised and how to disable these interventions.

Someone in the comments mentioned that adding nonstandard WebKit features to Firefox is not enough. They have to be Blink specific.
