not online)… then dragged the “i” icon from the Chrome toolbar into this Firefox window - and it worked then too! I simply dragged the Firefox “i” icon from the top of this page, into the Chrome window - and this page loaded in Chrome! It worked! Then I tried something just a bit trickier, in the other direction - I first (from a bookmark) loaded into Chrome a page from my local web-development server (i.e. (If you hover over it in Firefox, it says “Show site information” in Chrome, hovering it says “View site information” - that’s the icon I’m talking about.) At the top of both browser windows, at the far-left end of the URL bar, there’s a little icon of the letter “i” in a circle. (I did this on my Mac, but I’m guessing it would work on other platforms too.) I’m reading this article in Firefox, so I opened a new blank window in Chrome.
I just tried an interesting little experiment, with a useful result. In the past I’ve just copied and pasted the URL, but (even for just one tab) that is a little tedious.
FIREFOX64 INSTALL
Since I’ve rarely wanted to transfer more than one tab between browsers, I’m not inclined to install another extension just for that - especially one that (according to your description) closed all my tabs in the process.
Now You: What is your take on the planned redesign and functionality change in Firefox 64? The planned release of Firefox 64 is December 11, 2018. It is useful to users who install and remove a lot of extensions, and in situations where users want to uninstall extensions quickly. The ability to remove extensions directly from the Firefox toolbar is a much requested feature. The browser displays an option to disable the extension if that is not desired by the user. The notification goes away when you close the web browser.įirefox's Notification Permissions page highlights in version 64 if an extension controls the setting. If you install a browser extension in Firefox 63 or earlier, you will notice that it goes away automatically when you navigate to another tab this changes in Firefox 64 to make sure that users see the notification in the browser. Other extension related changes in Firefox 64įirefox 64 makes extension installation notifications stick on the screen until the user interacts with the prompt. The prompt includes an option to report the extension to Google. Google Chrome displays a prompt as well to verify the action. Chrome users can right-click on extension icons and select "remove from Chrome" to uninstall extensions in the browser. Google implemented a similar feature when it launched extensions support in Chrome years ago. Select the "remove" option to complete the uninstallation of the selected extension or cancel to keep the extension installed.Įxtensions can be removed on about:addons as well or by removing them directly from the Firefox profile folder. Just right-click on any extension icon displayed in the Firefox interface and select the new "Remove Extension" option to start the process.įirefox displays a prompt when you select the uninstallation option from the context menu to verify that this is the desired action. $processlist=gwmi win32_process|select CommandLine|Select-String -Pattern chrome.exe,firefox.The redesign introduces a card-based interface but does not remove or change functionality on the page. The one downside to the new interface is that it requires more space to display the same information on the screen.įirefox users who experience display issues can zoom in or out of the page to display all options and information at once.Īnother extension-related change that Mozilla plans to introduce in Firefox 64 is the ability to remove any extension directly. it detects that chrome and firefoxportable is not detected even thought i have it running. I have a script that looks at running processes for browser processes "firefox.exe" or "chrome.exe".
