I like the idea and will do the same. But we'll see how well that works... I just fed the first 4 google results for "ip address converter" with 10.1: Three converters gave an error message and one came up with 0.0.0.10.

I'm very unhappy with the new FF mobile. The user interface is worse than before in every(!) aspect. There's not a single improvement. And everything feels slower. And there is no offline browsing. On a mobile browser! WTF?! A

You can use the pointer as an object id, but only for living objects. The pointer becomes invalid the moment the memory is freed. Your bug was that you used an invalid pointer.

Using pointers for sorting is fine as long as you don't care about the order (parent referenced std::set and it's not uncommon to use a set of pointers if you just want to store some objects). Likewise it's fine to use point

With FF mobile on Android I still had ongoing sound after closing FF completely (at least as far as I know) and I had to reboot my phone. It's quite concerning that websites are able to do this. While it is the browsers fault to suppo

The bug here is in media player to listen on key-up events. Mouse-button-up makes sense because the user can move the mouse to cancel the click. But key events should be on key-down and that's how it is done most of the time. So if yo

You're right, the "+"-icon is on the bottom (which is even worse). I got it confused with closing a tab, the tab-list starts in the middle of the screen.

Some more: - In the previous version when you search something in the URL bar you could long tap the search suggestions to insert them into the URL bar for editing. Gone. - To open a new tab you have to open the tab selection with the i

Previous mobile FF on android had this functionality. They removed it with the update.

I find it annoying. The whole update brought nothing but annoyances.

In the previous version I had all my most visited sites as toplevel-bookmarks (which were displayed in the new-tab-page) and a bookmark-folder with "maybe-read-later"-bookmarks. That was never very good on mobile because there wa

I got the update today and I hate it. The new UI just requires more tapping, has less features and rendering isn't even faster! The whole web-experience actually feels more messy because uMatrix is missing. I don't get it. Firef

Discord is using user/password but every time I want to log in it says my IP-adress has changed and I have to use my email to verify my location. So it's basically the same as password-less email-login. That's terribly annoy

I hate the current situation where you buy a 1000$ pocket-computer and when you want to run your own software on it they call it "sideloading" and it might not be even possible.
