I wanted to upload a couple of images earlier today and kept either getting the generic error message or an indefinite "in progress". I had the same experience on Firefox, Chrome, and Edge.

Greenshot, a screenshot and simple editor program I use, sometimes has trouble with its imgur uploader plugin around the end of the month. There's apparently a hard limit on uploads through channels that haven't been whitelisted by imgur, though I don't imagine that would have any effect on uploading straight through the webpage.

Imgur's upload page is hosed and has been for a long time. I had an issue a while back where (IIRC) if I selected images with Enter, instead of pressing Open or whatever, it consistently failed. They also used to have an issue where transloading a bunch of images would fail on like 10% of them, but it now retries instead of going "welp whatever"

Has Mozilla ever asked for donations before? I wonder how much they are hurting from jumping off the Google teat to Yahoo.

It's probably not even remotely viable, but I'd love an enthusiast-funded Firefox. If Mozilla was truly beholden to the needs of their core users, you can be drat sure that E10S wouldn't have taken 7 years and counting.

It would be perfectly viable if the Mozilla Foundation didn't waste bucketloads of money on stupid bullshit.

They also probably wouldn't be in a race to copy Chrome as much as possible and label all features that aren't shared as nonessential. Maybe I'm just bitter that panorama is going away.

One thing they don't seem to realize is that features being killed makes everyone nervous even if they don't use those features. If feature X is getting axed when it's used so much by some people, even if it's not a lot of people, who knows when feature Y I depend on is going to get axed as well? Google might have partially realized this after Reader and, honestly, Firefox is in a better position because its addons have more power (though even that's in question, going forward) so features can, generally, be reintroduced by the community. However that puts a lot of burden on the community that's not necessarily going to jump at the chance to do more work. Also the bickering back and forth on the bug to add U2F support to Firefox, when it's one of the bugs they need to address to get to parity with Chrome, is just depressing.

I've noticed that Firefox Android plays YouTube videos on the actual YouTube page (not just embedded ones) in the browser now, instead of opening them in the YouTube app by default. How do I fix this terrible bullshit?

We won't know how much money they made until they release their 2015 report. I read that the combined funding from their new deals with Yahoo, Baidu, and Yandex is about the same as the funding they were previously receiving form Google.

There is an "Open With Native App" extension you can get that will allow you to open the right app from the menu. It's clunky, but it works.

Looks like Mozilla is officially getting rid of Thunderbird. They put it into "Community Support" mode or whatever back in 2012, but it sounds like they're going to officially cut all ties with it, like they did with Sunbird. http://techcrunch.com/2015/11/30/thunderbird-flies-away-from-mozilla/ This pretty much HAD to happen given the major Firefox decisions made lately. I hope no one is surprised by this. (I hope no one is still using Thunderbird.)

First, Mozilla has committed to providing financial support to let the Thunderbird team hire some contractors to work on various parts of this change, as well as (finally!) accepting user donations to help fund Thunderbird. Long-term, I expect Thunderbird will still split off from Mozilla, since most of the tech Thunderbird needs (XUL) is being EoLed in Gecko anyway. At that point, the benefits of being tied to Mozilla become more and more limited. Currently, this really isn't much different from the days when Mozilla Messaging was a separate corporation. Also, this part is flat-out wrong: "Mozilla and the wider Thunderbird community have not provided any updates on how many Thunderbird users there are today, or how many downloads of the client, or what kind of usage the application sees." Had the author merely Googled "thunderbird usage" before publishing the article, they would have found this, from February of this year: https://blog.mozilla.org/thunderbird/2015/02/thunderbird-usage-continues-to-grow/

I have many email addresses and it's PITA to check them separately. Thunderbird combines them all in one well working application. Why wouldn't you use it?

I used Thunderbird for years, but I would always run into weird bugs like mail not getting checked, column widths not staying where I set them, filtering being broken, and maybe other things. I switched to eM Client a couple months ago or so, and it's been smooth sailing since (except for the minor annoyance of them not adding threaded conversations for evidently years).

I would also like to say, for anyone who uses Thunderbird and has problems: please file bugs! If it's an old bug and it's not getting attention, you can also post here and I'll probably see it. I'm a submodule owner in Thunderbird and occasionally still write patches. I've fixed decade-old bugs before because a goon mentioned it was annoying them.

I love Thunderbird and have been using it since forever, but I wish they'd update the UI for Windows 10. As it is now, trying to apply themes to it looks awful (much like Firefox did at first, until its subsequent update)

I just noticed that my new FF 42.0 install (just built a new system) is not spell checking. As in, "rgpoihg" has no red line under it. Did I miss something in the install? How do I turn it on? My spelling is pretty awful so I rely on it fairly heavily.

I still use Thunderbird. Only problems I have are with the Google Calendar extension, where events I've already dismissed from my phone pop up on every thunderbird install even weeks after the event. Also usually 2-4 duplicates of the same event end up appearing simultaneously.

Marinmo posted:That's just a sad sad story. Bug in question if you want to feel blue. I don't see what there is to be sad about? Mozilla employees said "ok, but we need a USB library in Gecko first", and then some non-employees had a slapfight in the middle of the bug, and then someone posted a patch to add a USB library to Gecko which is getting attention from a Mozilla employee who can review the patch when it's ready. Also, the dev-platform list literally has a message from yesterday titled "Intent to implement and ship: FIDO U2F API", so there's even less to be sad about. If you'd like to avoid the peanut gallery and see what Important People have to say about the feature, that's probably a better place to look. (It also includes a bonus apology from a Chrome dev for shipping the old-and-busted U2F API without announcing it on their mailing lists, and putting Firefox in a bit of a bad spot.)
