In that case it's clear fraud and will be dealt with, I assume. Given the comments here about a liberal market, I assumed labeling requirements are less strict over there.

In Germany and many places if not all of west and central Europe products get detailed labeling of ingredients. For instance if you buy what's supposedly a brand name syrup of plums and therefore should be 100% the result of cooking pl

As long as Microsoft isn't addressing the real blocker for people to skip Windows 8 and 10, they won't convince that user base. Those users might eventually move to 10, but will stick with 7 as long as they possibly can and the Wi

I've been thinking about this and wondering how they could prevent people moving to a WeChat like app and doing all financial transactions within that. If you enable anonymity in that there's no need to identify your meat life per

When I visited Istanbul, I passed through a district with an endless number of exchange shops, and it seemed like a place where you could easily wash money without any bank account involved. I believe Turkey isn't alone in having such

I think I figured it out. Somehow Skia was enabled in Firefox and resetting that seems to have fixed the rendering bug. Given that 51 will turn Skia on by default I hope this will be fixed before the switch.

If you consider that many gui apps are written with HTML right now, I wouldn't worry about the looks of the toolkit as much, as long as it integrates and behaves as expected in X and Wayland and Windows and macOS and iOS and Android. T

I love serifs and haven't found a good monospaced serif font yet. This one looks good but has some minor bugs like spacing and * not being centered vertically for the times you write OCaml or C comments. I'm trying it out anyway b

Was there a font thread you're referring to?

Do you write OCaml or C (comments) by any chance? I've often found it hard to discover a typeface that has (* this is a comment *) vertically centered. My usual choice is Fira Mono because it looks great and centers * vertical

Sorry I can't because it's something that happens and doesn't stay. If you run Firefox 50 on Arch Linux, you will see what I mean.

This looks like an improved version of Luxi. I couldn't use Luxi Mono because O and 0 look the same, but this fixes that. I had been looking for a serif monospace font for a long time and this looks great. Did anyone else try to use it

I've actually been trying to find a PCF or TTF variant of that Sun font. If anyone can point me to it, I'd be grateful. Maybe in some folder of opensolaris or illumos?

Built 50.0 with cairo-gtk2 backend using it right now but something different with the font rendering in 50.0. For instance there's a weird washed-out effect of the text in this very same text control I'm writing the comment in wh

I love GTK2, but I can do without GTK3, seeing we're at 3.22 and it's still not as stable or regression free as GTK2. I'd be the first to build and use a Firefox where the Qt port was updated and made to work but GTK is the G

Good points. Just finished building firefox 50.0 with for cairo-gtk2 and trying it out now. Hope there are no crashes. I agree with what you say and want to add that there two issues here. First is the GTK3 port of Firefox not working as a

Good to know. I thought it doesn't include and prevent the download of some DRM blobs.

I love 2.7's rendering engine and 49.0.2 looked great, but 50.0 looks washed out. Tried ESR 45.5.0 and it looks great again. I'm confused as to what may have happened from 49 to 50 that caused this.

I'm with you and cannot stand the way Opera does it but it also has a quick tab switching mode. I haven't encountered a single switch-with-preview implementation that didn't leave me with forced slowdown and delay of the acti

In the past the GTK3 code path was tested only by Red Hat as the primary developer of all things GTK and GNOME. At that time, there was only a GTK2 build from Mozilla, and now instead of doing the same as Windows 32-bit/64-bit we'

Do you know how to run Firefox 50 with GTK 3.22.0 and the native Wayland backend? If I try it, it crashes instantly, and I was surprised to see gtk3 and gtk2 linkage in the xul libs. Any idea?

by dbl9 10y ago
I'm glad you like it. This is one of those personal UX preferences that has you either one or the other camp. Am I right to assume you liked this from your past Opera use?

Did something change in font rendering with Freetype on Linux? While 49.0.2 with FreeType 2.7 looked the best (subjectively) I've seen any font rendering (including Windows 10 and OS X Snow Leopard (been a while)), something off with 5

For the same reason they haven't made 64-bit the default on Windows and provide two versions. There are many users for whom only one variant works reliably. If upstream, like in the case of cairo-gtk3, decides GTK2 is not supported any

My local cairo-gtk2 build of Firefox 49 reliably crashes anytime you try to use the GTK file dialog. Does it work for you (arch or gentoo)?

GTK3 itself has various regressions and is slower than GTK2 despite the architectural refactoring lending itself to a snappier experience. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=771708 Firefox GTK3 has regressions too,
