Release Notes

[V.T. Eric Layton]

OK, I'll admit... I'm getting very tired of having to upgrade FF every two or three days.

[Corrine]

I don't blame you, Eric.  This is the 3rd update since Version 96 was released just a bit over two weeks ago.  It is a pattern that FF seems to follow.

[V.T. Eric Layton]

It's OK that they are rapid in fixing bugaboos and all that. The unfortunate thing for me is that, in Slackware, it's a bit of a chore to upgrade FF via command line and using a pre-made script. Sure, it only takes me a few moments and a few key strokes, but it's a lot easier in MS Windows where you can just let FF update itself.

 

Shhhh... don't tell anyone I said Win was easier.

It will be our secret.

OK, I upgraded. Let's see how long this one lasts.

[V.T. Eric Layton]

Unfortunately, upgrading to FF 96.0.3 totally screwed up my user.Chrome.css customizations for tab height/shape, so now I'm stuck with those big blocky tabs again. I've just wasted an hour trying to figure out how this happened. I'm too tired to care anymore. I guess I'll just deal with the HUGE ugly tabs from now on.

[V.T. Eric Layton]

Meh... after just a couple days, I've gotten used to the big blocky tabs.
