websocket protocol bump to v8? isn't v10 the one with the security issues fixed?
- gkoberger 15y ago
  Version 8 is the same thing as Draft 10, which is the latest draft. Yes, it's confusing.

Man I never knew about text-overflow: ellipsis. I'm gonna have to start using that.

>* The 'http:// http:// URL prefix is now hidden by default I hate that:( I hate that they removed the rss button too:(

  As said in the other thread, you can change it back by going to about:confing and changing browser.urlbar.trimURLs to false.

  RSS urlbar icon https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/rss-icon/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/rss-icon/
  - starwed 15y ago
    That's weird -- the icon is still there, but not default, and it just takes about two clicks to restore it. So what's the purpose of the addon?
    - ck2 15y ago
      You mean the icon in customize? You cannot put that one inside the urlbar.
      - starwed 15y ago
        Aha, all is now clear. (I really liked the idea of the RSS button when they added it, but never actually ended up using it...)

  It is not in the url bar but you can right click on the toolbar select customize and then drag a rss button back onto the toolbar.
