Firefox Fights Back - Firefox 57

You can, but you'll have to disable 'Activity Stream' and set NewTab Page Compact' to false in about:config:

browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.enabled set to false

browser.newtabpage.compact set to false

Thanks Edwin. browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.enabled set to false (this did the job). But it also messed up the customization I did for the page. The thumbnails got much bigger and as I had 3 rows of 8 thumbnails last ones were missing .

59.0a1 is the latest Nightly channel build.
58.0b? is the beta channel.
57.0.x is the release channel.

see Try New Browser Features in Pre-Release Versions | Firefox if you are daring.

(i'm using 59.0a1 dtd. 29NOV17, it's working fine, but the nightlys are not 100% dependable, so you may get glitches.)

mine is telling me to restart to install the latest update. it's doing that on auto.

and you get a cool new icon

Thanks for the clarification....so he was referring to firefox 59...by the way, mine is set to auto-update and i also got the message on there to restart to complete the update and i'm running 59.01 now...

Does everyone’s jumplist work / show ok for Mozilla at the moment? I have Firefox pinned to the task bar but right clicking reveals no jump list anymore

OK for me

Ok thanks. I cleared history, cache etc. That seemed to fix it, jump list came back.

Serious Problem:

Every now and again the flash videos I watch on Youtube become filled with "green lines".

Does anyone know what this means?

It may be an issue of updating your graphics driver and/or enabling latest flash.

Nightly now prompts you when an extension changes your New Tab page...



Choosing 'Restore Settings' immediately disables the add-on.
