* Flat (read:lazy) design trend is going away. Same goes for those rabbid mozillians constantly defending this behaviour, because there are actually people defending this nonsense. The fact that mozilla attempted to send extra telemetry for those people, all this while hiding the fact that they were doing (no, two messages on bugzilla does not count as making this publicly available so anyone who is against this stops using this malware browser before you deploy this crap on their PC) is outright dissgusting and mozilla can fuck off for this very reason. Telemetry once disabled should mean disabled. And it’s not uB0, I’ve heard from people using one of those scripting *Monkey extensions having the same problem, so it’s Firefox.

This never happened with the XUL extension.

There is about a 50% chance to lose the filter database on browser restart. Clean install, 圆4, x86, portable, running from SSD, from HDD, from RAM disk, on 7, 8.1, LTSB 1607, Server 2008R2, 2012R2, 2016, doesn’t matter, uB0 is broken in Fx. I’m more for the broken addons which are not available as WE, or the actual poor implementation which mozilla has done – uB0 always resets its filter database, not matter what I do, on Fx57. I wasn’t refering to the UI*, as I personally did not like australis, but much prefered the v4 looks, which were a copy of what Opera Presto looked like. Download links are provided in the article. Microsoft released Skype version 8 for Windows desktop yesterday as well which replaces the existing MSI distributable which installed Skype version 7 on desktop PCs. Microsoft offers no explanation as to why the new web-based version of Skype does not work in Firefox or Opera. Linux is not mentioned, nor are other browsers besides Chrome or Edge.Ī simple user-agent change is not enough to make Skype for the Web work in unsupported browsers. Microsoft's announcement on the official Skype Blog confirms the browser requirements and that it works on Windows 10 or Mac OS X 10.12 or higher.

Something else seems to be going on apparently that blocks Opera (and Firefox) from access. It is a bit puzzling that Opera does not work while Vivaldi and Brave do all three browsers are based on the same code that Google Chrome is based on, and one would assume that this would be enough to ensure compatibility. Firefox and Opera did not work while Vivaldi and Brave did.

Most? I tried Firefox, Opera, Vivaldi, and Brave on the site next to Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge.
