Opting-in to plugins in Firefox

Whether you hate them or love them, content accessed through plugins is still a sizable chunk of the web. So much so, that over 99% of internet users have Flash installed on their browser. However, plugins can also carry with them extra vulnerabilities and system slowdowns.

A couple days ago I landed an initial implementation of “click-to-play plugins” in desktop Firefox. To see and play with the feature, download a Nightly build of Firefox, go to about:config, and enable the plugins.click_to_play flag.

When plugins.click_to_play is enabled, plugins will require an extra click to activate and start “playing” content. This is an incremental step towards securing our users, reducing memory usage, and opening up the web.

Click on it and the video clip would show up as normal. The advantage? This Firefox Nightly Build has been flying through web sites and pages

Mozilla to remove favicons in Firefox ...


Starting with yesterday’s Nightly build of Firefox, we have introduced a change to how we display site-identity in the address bar. These changes are intended to increase the security of our users as well as reduce some visual weight.

Since the dawn of time, we have included the site favicon in the address bar as part of the site-identity block. While the favicon can represent a piece of a site’s identity, there are some sites that set their favicon to a padlock. This behavior can trick users in to thinking that a site is using a secure connection when on an unsecured connection. Starting with yesterday’s Nightly, we will no longer include the favicon in the address bar.

- Websites that use SSL certificates with Extended Validation will now have a green padlock next to the certificate owner’s organization name.

26

- Websites that use SSL certificates without Extended Validation will now have a grey padlock. The effective hostname will no longer appear next to the padlock. This information is redundant with our darkening of the effective hostname in the website address.

26

- Websites that do not use SSL certificates or have mixed-content will fallback to a globe icon.

27
27

* there are no plans to remove favicons from tabs, bookmarks, or Awesomebar suggestions.
* These changes are planned to reach our Release channel in mid-July.

Just a reminder that Mozilla has ended support for Firefox 3.6 as of Tuesday 24th, April, 2012.

Understanding that many users have issues with FF4.xx I personally see no reason to hold back and not moving to the latest stable version of Firefox. But your call, as always smile.gif
