Did you file a bug about this? I haven't ever heard about this problem, and it works fine for me. Time to look at your addons/plugins or go to about:support and force a profile refresh?

> I wouldn't be surprised if people here are being paid to be negative about Firefox, given how much they complain without ever offering any constructive criticism.

Never attribute to malice...

>A poorly made one with Yahoo

Do you have some inside information? Nobody outside Mozilla seems to know what the deal with Yahoo was or how much money they got for it?

>Dropping support for their long-time plugins is bad move, IMHO.

It's either that or staying forever insecure due to the lack of sandbox.

>SQLite... why?

Because most people's machines are crap and will crash randomly, yet they'll be upset when you lose their history of bookmarks.

Pale Moon designed for security? I just pissed my pants laughing.

The cool aid is not only strong, it keeps revising history.

The ironic thing is that there's a much better AdBlocking plugin for Firefox for Android: uBlock. It's much lighter on resources than AdBlock. You're better off installing the real Firefox and uBlock than this thing.

I was talking about the comprehensive study with state of the art JPEG free encoders, not the visual comparison of 3 or so images that's made to make BPG look good.

WebP is only very marginally better than JPEG, see the linked compression studies in the original article.

Not so much a "limit" as much as a complete showstopper.

Yes and yes, respectively. Though for the latter they probably won't bother.

This is just a terrible idea.

Try OneNote with the smartboard. It sounds like others have done it successfully: http://shc-edutech.hct.ac.ae/p...

One problem that I have read is that OneNote's hand-writing recognition is not as good on smart boards as it is on a tablet (especially one with a Wacom pen), but it still works relatively well. Set OneNote to automatically index all handwriting, photos, and audio, and it can make it easy for students to search the notebooks if they are looking for a specific topic that was discussed. You insert your existing Word/Writer/othertextfile into the Notebook before class and have students go to the board to answer the questions, etc (my brain thinks from the Mathematics/Sciences, but if you have another subject, I'm sure you can still come up with novel ways to utilize the technology.

I'm a OneNote convert myself. I find it useful to embed photos and audio directly into lecture notes, and you can synchronize audio with the notes and post them online easily. This allows students to reference not only the notes from within class, but the context of the notes from the audio spoken in class. You can also record video in OneNote and embed it within the notebooks.

I personally use a tablet (Samsung Ativ 500T) and screencast to a projector. If for some reason something is done on someone's pen/paper or the physical whiteboard, just take a quick photo and add it to the notebook. When the lecture is finished, it's automatically synchronized to a shared OneDrive notebook that the students can view in browser or via their own OneNote desktop, Android, iOS, or WP applications. The only big thing they need to fix is that viewing OneNote in the browser can cause hand-writing to not be perfectly aligned with photos, so it can make it annoying on my Linux box if I have too many photos in the page (the effect amplifies the further down the page you go).

I would be interested to see someone do a smartboard setup with OneNote, but I've not researched to see how well it works. Mostly, you just need cursor tracking and some way to know when contact has been made.

PaleMoon is just Firefox 24 ESR. You're still using Firefox, someone just s/Firefox/PaleMoon/g 'd it.
