    The article was just written for NVIDIA to link to as almost no one has that setup... we haven't seen any feedback with regards to this problem either.

    We probably should document all of these things in the Latest Issues article. Want to head that project up, Alice?

    What do you mean by "document all of these things in the Latest Issues article" ... post links to new Firefox 11 articles in the Firefox 11 section of latest Firefox issues? I think the person who approved the new article should do that, since how would I know when new articles are created?

    I actually meant take the top of this thread and make sure that the latest issues article is updated to reflect the things in this thread.

    I've written Some rich text editors do not work in Firefox 11 for the TinyMCE problem. Feel free to use it.

    Other new issues:

    • Java - we are blocklisting old version of Java (hasn't happened yet). We should get this ready ahead of time. There is also a bug in Java for Mac that makes it sometimes not work.
    • TypeError: Components.classes[cid] (caused by add-ons) - this error happens on startup. You can ignore it or figure out what extension is causing it. We think the extensions keep working.
    • "Your browser is blocking Flash" - A change to Flash last week makes some flash version detection methods break. This affects Yahoo mail (also Att mail and others that are based on Yahoo). The solution is to switch to "classic mode" in the email program.

    I don't think it is. I commented in the thread.

    Recently reinstalled Windows after acquiring a new virus, (I know, foolish), but noticed a repeat fault with Firefox now asking to save passwords nor using saved passwords from a backup file, there is a thread about it [/questions/760505] but the solution I was left with wasn't mentioned so I'll post it here for y'all.

    After tinkering an tottering and finding no fix, I wondered why my new installation had no option at all to enable/disable private browsing, I bashed about:config into a new tab and found 'browser.privatebrowsing.autostart' marked as true, with no option in the GUI to change it, changing this to false has solved the issue.

    This may also work for users who do have an option in the GUI but find that it is "greyed out" for whatever reason.

    Cheers, Ducklz.

    The browser.privatebrowsing.autostart pref should follow the setting to "Always use private browsing mode" in "Tools > Options > Privacy" (Never remember history)
    If you can't change the latter then also check for a -private switch in the command line or an extension that forces or prevents PB mode.

    • Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting Firefox will: Use custom settings for history
      • [ ] "Always use private browsing mode"
