Firefox 14 Updates

  1. Holy cow! It's already past time to start working on Firefox 14.

    Firefox 14 feature review

    Here are the user-facing changes that we should document:

    • Native Lion (10.7) full screen for Mac - this replaces the "Firefox" full screen that we've had previously (and continue to have in Windows and Linux)
    • New Identity block - favicon is only in the tab now instead of both the tab and the Identity button. Identity button is now a gray globe for http, a gray padlock for https without identity info and a green padlock with the company name when it's https with identity info. They are experimenting with changes to this in Firefox 15 - a gray triangle with an exclamation point in it for mixed http and https content. They may get uplifted to Firefox 14.

    Can anyone think of articles that I'm missing?
    Anyone interested in doing some of these updates?

    Holy cow! It's already past time to start working on Firefox 14. [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kAOroY02J9UWQvsRcsuyGP5XRP0uYjFljPyhNwcUDOM/edit Firefox 14 feature review] Here are the user-facing changes that we should document: * Inline URL autocomplete - when a url matches what you type in the location bar it will autocomplete. Your regular awesome bar matches are still displayed like normal below the location bar. **[[Search your bookmarks, history and tabs with the Awesome Bar]] **[[Search the web from the Address Bar]] * Google search is https by default - this is for all 4 searches (awesome bar, search bar, home page, right-click search) **[[Search the web from the Address Bar]] **[[Search bar - Easily choose your favorite search engine]] * Native Lion (10.7) full screen for Mac - this replaces the "Firefox" full screen that we've had previously (and continue to have in Windows and Linux) **[[How to make Firefox and websites go full screen]] * New Identity block - favicon is only in the tab now instead of both the tab and the Identity button.

  2. Should we start documenting Windows 8 article?

  3. Is Firefox EVER going to be able to save certain cookie information (eg. Hotmail) so that we can clear the cookies folder and cache EXCEPT those we want to keep? I've tried everything (Cookie Culler, Cookie Monster, setting preferences, etc, etc, etc) and nothing works. Even if it's a hotmail issue, there's no reason that Firefox shouldn't have a "save permanently" option for individual cookies, where you would have to go manually into the folder to delete them.

    That won't actually be in Firefox 14. They are working on it and it will continue to get preffed off before going to release for a few more releases.

  5. I've started to work on these two: *[[Search your bookmarks, history and tabs with the Awesome Bar]] *[[Search the web from the Address Bar]]
  6. [[Search the web from the Address Bar]] is done.
  7. Address bar autocomplete suggestions in Firefox required a new section and some rearranging so it needs someone else to review it. I summarized my changes in the discussion tab

  13. Good catch. It's a 10.6 - 10.7 thing. I'll see if I can fix it.
