QuoteMost notable is the eviction of plug-ins. The browser will now only run Flash. Anything else reliant on the Netscape Plugin API (NPAPI) is now verboten. Which means Silverlight, Java and Acrobat are gone, daddy, gone.
The second big change is the addition of significant warnings when Firefox visits web sites that don't run HTTPS.

I'm now offering a fantastic service that will get rid of these obscene warnings.
For just £10 per page, those errors will be banished for good.
:D

This seems very minimal and not noticeable, or am I missing something?
I wonder what the average surfer thinks about the 'insecure' notifications of chrome/ff. Do they think that goblins might start re-arranging the words on the page?
I suppose it's just easier if everyone starts using TLS.

FF is very tech based these days user wise I would say.
But yes, the average user (most users) will be wary if they are warned.
>'insecure' notifications
What are you seeing in FF? Nothing popped up or warned me of anything this am.
Really the only reason why I use FF these days is because I like having access to some plugins.

Plugins or extensions? This should not affect extensions.
You're right, I had a brain lapse there.

I'm on FF52 with Linux. which may have differences with the Win version There isn't anything for th3core.com but clicking on the I for info icon to the left of the address bar it says 'Connection is not Secure'. Not noticeable at all really.
ok, that's what I'm seeing too, thanks. I don't think normal users will notice yet.
If you sign out of here and sign back in, you'll see quite a stark warning about the login form not being secure.
Yeah I did see a form submit warning that is new, good point.
May drop firefof, it handles some web tech very slowly.
Try doing a net sped test at http://speedtest.net with FF then with IE.
Speed test requires Flash = security vulnerability

even if updated to latest flash version ?
FF is buggy with lastpass, the team there have recommended I use another browser for the time being. Also I use Tourstart.org for managing trip on my bike GPS. Its a pain with FF, I use Edge to use that now.
So to me they seem to have several issues at the moment.
Pale Moon (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pale_Moon_%28web_browser%29) looks interesting.
OK never hit my rada before. The wiki does not sell it well.
Their website is sooo 2009. Not sure if thats good or bad :)
