New Shiira browser version released...

For the user that is looking for something different...
I like Safari, but hate the way it hogs memory and CPU cycles if you leave it open for extended periods of time. I have been using Camino and like it, but longed for some more Safari features.
Shiira is an open-source browser written in Cocoa. I had looked at in the past, but not felt comfortable with as it seemed a little rough and generally not too impressive. However, it looked promising, so I kept coming back to it to check development and now they have released a new version - 1.2 - that rivals Safari in look and feel, as well as usefulness. They have added RSS support and a host of graphical features like Tab Expose which is just as it sounds.
You can have an Aqua or Metal theme to make it look more Safari-like, and it seems to have a smaller footprint. I have not had any of the memory hogging that Safari seems to suffer from.
I like it so far and just wanted to pass it along.

Merry Christmas Eric,
That is good news, glad you have been watching it. I had heard good things in the early stages of Shiira, but was reluctant to give it a try--maybe over the holidays.
BTW-you and the other great helpers on this forum are about to get some excellent assistance. I'm sure Tuttle will show up here more and more starting next week, one of the most excellent advocates to help guide us. Adding a 20"iMac to his already impressive arsenal.

  • New Camera Raw version released

    Adds support for the following cameras:
    Fujifilm X-E2
    Fujifilm X-T1
    Nikon D3300
    Nikon 1 AW1
    Panasonic LUMIX DMC-GM1
    Pentax K-3
    It requires OS 10.8.5, 10.9 or later plus iPhoto 11 and Aperture 3.
    As always, before installing anything, back up.
    Also, if you don't shoot Raw, or if you don't use any of these specific camera models then there is no need to install this. It will be rolled into a OS update in the future anyway.

    Not sure how to privately contact you...
    I am struggling with iPhoto, I have "Tunnel-vision" so to speak from using ACDSee for years.
    I have read tie bits of posts that you have weighed in on, and would like to pick your brain for some pointers.

  • Guys, my browser is going crazy and every website that I am on changes in about 10 seconds to 2 minutes to another webpage. I even downloaded a newer 5.0 version of firefox and I am having the same problem.

    Your System Details are showing Fun Web Products. Suggest you look in Add-ons - Extensions and Plug-ins, and Control Panel>Add/Remove programs or >(newer version) Programs and Features. You could also do a search of your computer.
    Fun Web Products(associated with MyWebSearch) always seems to cause problems, Alexa does, too, but less often - there may be conflicts.
    I'm not an expert on these two products. I'm afraid I can only alert you to the problems. Google will show you plenty of evidence of problems. You might also try the Search Firefox Help box above - a gold mine but it usually requires a lot of digging.
    You can start Firefox in Safe Mode - Hold Shift Key down as you double click on the Firefox icon>ignore the page that opens>Continue. If that improves things you could do a little troubleshooting(Safe Mode, Problematic extensions etc), use default theme, -

  • Why can't you keep addons compatible with your very frequent new version releases?

    While I understand that you don't write the addons, it is very frustrating to me, that you keep releasing major version releases every few months, and the result is large numbers of incompatabilities. Why can't you make your builds more forgiving for addons? For instance I cannot use Norton Internet Security's toolbar right now - that's a pretty major addon, and I think it's on Mozilla to ensure some form of compatibility, or at the very least, have common REQUIREMENTS published, so vendors aren't left guessing every time.

    This is a fake page, do update only from official page:
    *[http://www.mozilla.org/firefox/new/]
    This page comes up when you click on a link? Open Firefox?
    Try Start in Safe Mode, sometimes this problem is caused by addons:
    *[http://mzl.la/MwuO4X Firefox in safe mode]
    Case the problem doesnt occur in Safe Mode:

    Sometimes the problem can be Malwares:
    *[http://mzl.la/MPPnpl Problems with malwares]
    Also, you can use addons to block popups/ads:

  • New Skype for Linux released, version 4.3 | Edit: Now in Repo's

    A New Skype has been released for Linux.  Not quite yet in our repo's as of this writing.  Skype 4.3 is now in the official repo's.
    One of the larger changes is that ALSA is no longer supported and users are instead directed to use Pulse Audio.  I already use Pulse, but I can imagine there will be some people unimpressed with this new requirement.
    Unfortunately when it comes to network messaging programs the protocol is what rules.  All my friends use the Skype protocol so I also have to use it to communicate with them.  As far as I'm aware there is no full-featured replacement for the Skype protocol on Linux that also does audio and video.
    What do you think?
    Note: I posted in Multimedia, if there is a better place for this please feel free to move it.  Perhaps networking, but Skype is a multimedia/network application.

    There is one more option to consider, though, one that I find fascinating: WebRTC. WebRTC is native voice and video chat in a web browser. Both Firefox and Chrome have supported it for some time now, so if you and your friend use one of those web browsers then you don't need to install any special software. Just send them a link to a web page and start using it.
    Disclaimer: I tried it about a year ago. Firefox was able to display my webcam video but I never successfully established a connection with my friend. I should try it out again...
    I tried it out a few weeks ago on a couple of computers running Arch, and managed to get it working fine between all combinations of Chromium and Firefox (all up to date, mind). I used Talky and it certainly made WebRTC easy. I just need to convince members of the family to stuff Skype now!
    Thanks so much for the Talky suggestion.
    I tried to convince people to use Jitsi and register for their Jabber service, but unfortunately a lot are content with using Skype.

  • Is there any news about a pending release of the 3G version of the iPhone?

    I am a new Apple convert. I have 2 current iMac (one for the home-office and one for the office-office) computers. I gave up my pocket PC due to conflicts in synching the machines. In April '08, I was going to buy an iPhone, but heard that Apple is going to release an updated unit in june '08. Consequently, I postponed my purchase. Is there any news about the pending update release?

    All we know is a new iPhone will be released in 2008 but there is no date yet. Possibly Steve Jobs will give an update at next week's Keynote at the WWDC.
    The June update you've heard about refers to Software update 2.0 which will be available for all iPhones some time this month.

    If I change the user agent string in Firefox to that of Firefox 7.0.1 everything works as expected, this implies there is some logic in get_IsNetscape6Up() which is failing because the major browser version as reported by the user agent string is two digits instead of one.
    We encountered a similar issue for our legacy pages containing Infragistics 2007 controls but were able to fix that by overriding the System.Web.Configuration.HttpCapabilitiesBase.BrowserCapabilitiesProvider and faking the browser version to 9.80.  Crystal Report Viewer is apparently not using .Net's built in HttpBrowserCapabilities object, is there anything else I can adjust to stop the viewer failing?

    hello Robert
    Today must be my day. I already got a reply from PM (normally it takes a "bit" longer...). Anyhow, here is what he said:
    With Firefoxu2019s release cycles, I donu2019t think weu2019ll be able to officially support the latest versions
    of Firefox at every service release.  We do our best to test the released versions of Firefox
    that align with our releases.  I donu2019t know the details but Iu2019ve heard there is a plan in place where
    the support team(s) (?) will test the most recent releases of Firefox with whatu2019s currently
    shipping by SAP and log bugs as necessary.
    (umm, this is my - Ludek note here ) -> news to me re. support doing QA... find out something new every day. Anyhow, continuation of the message from PM:
    The current plan for CR for VS2010, the SP3 release (expected in April) will support up to
    Firefox 9.  If there are reproducible bugs in Firefox 10 (or higher), then please enter a bug
    and escalate and it will be investigated for the next available release.
    I'll revisit this once SP3 is out there and do an escalation for Firefox 10 - ok?

  • Firefox Browser Version 32 alerted me to an update which installs a gruesome malware plug-in

    As a mac user, I have Firefox browser version 32 (for MacBook) installed on my Macbook Pro for at least a year. I get the browser updated every once in a while when Mozilla alerts me on any new versions releases. Today, I was alerted to an update on my current version 32. As soon as I clicked for update install, I realized that my browser is redirected to the legitimate website of Mozilla Foundation, however, the new update has a definite malware plug-in. I tried it three times, with twice at my own and once during my remote support session with Apple OS Support agent. As a user, I don't get much time on Mozilla website and moments after reaching this website, the URL is redirected to some "Conduit.....com..." with a super long URL that kind of hacks your browser. It leaves several entries in the registry and stops accessing any intended URL. Instead, it takes you to wherever the malware wants. Sometimes you see some malware "App Magic" and the like other unknown yet easily deceptive malware websites. Out of no choice, I finally had to clean my system and uninstall firefox. I am now waiting for Mozilla Firefox to take cognizance of this issue, have it resolved and notify me before I can actually do it. Btw, once I also saw a toll free no. starting with 1-855...... claiming to be Mozilla Support team who are aware of the issue and I should call them for customer support. Out of my high doubts, I did not trust it so never took a note of it any further. Mozilla needs to identify this breach and notify Firefox Mac users of whatever malware breach is occurring due to potentially a breached update version.

    If this was a legitimate install from www.mozilla.org or update In Firefox then it did not come from Mozilla or with Firefox. No version of Firefox for Windows, Linux and Mac OSX from www.mozilla.org comes with any form of malware, viruses, adware, toolbars, bundled apps etc.
    It would be a first if your claim is true.
    You mentioned Conduit, well that is a known adware toolbar extensions company or business or whatever you want to call them though condiit.com seems to have changed to other things now.

  • Does anyone else get a Netfix window popping up unexpectedly? I have an iMac with OSX 10.6.8 and Safari browser version 5.1.10.

    Does anyone else get a Netfix window popping up unexpectedly? I have an iMac with OSX 10.6.8 and Safari browser version 5.1.10. It only happens when I go to a specific local news site, and it is only a Netflix window that opens up. I do have a Netflix account.

    Do you have Block Popup Windows checked in Safari/Preferences/Security?
    What web site?

  • What download is available for an Asus tablet running Android and what is the latest version/release?

    I cannot access my electricity account because my Firefox release is earlier than 3.6. When I go to check available downloads for my Asus Tablet which runs Android it shows the Linux version as available and when I look for the Android version it indicates it is for phones using Android. Will the Phone (mobile) work on my Asus Tablet and what is the latest version/release?

    Firefox for Android is compatible with tablets, including your Asus Transformer tablet. I recommend installing '''[https://market.android.com/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox_beta Firefox 9 Beta]''', because it includes a new interface designed especially for Android tablets.

  • Whenever I open a new Firefox Browser, the other Firefox Browsers that I have minimized to the bottom of the screen all restore, (reopen up) onto the screen with the new opened Firefox Browser, how do I stop this? Just want the new one to open on screen

    Whenever I open a new Firefox Browser, the other Firefox Browsers that I have minimized to the bottom of the screen all restore, (reopen up) onto the screen with the new opened Firefox Browser, how do I stop this? Just want the new one to open on screen and the existing stay minimized.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I think when a I updated or downloaded a newer version of FireFox at Firefox's suggestion.

    Hmm that does sound a bit strange - I use a system quite similar to yours (XP, FF 3.6.3), and don't see this behaviour.
    I would recommend trying to start Firefox in Firefox [[Safe Mode]] (make sure you close '''all''' running Firefox instances first), and see if this problem persists.
    If not, it could be some add-on causing this behaviour - restart Firefox in Safe Mode, disable all add-ons, and enable them one by one to find the guilty one.
    If it still happens in Firefox Safe Mode, some other program (or something in Windows itself) most likely is the cause. We may be able to help with this too, so let us know what works and provide as much additional information as possible to let us help you solve this.
    Please let us know how above works out, and if we can be of further assistance. Detailed feedback is appreciated and helps us to help you better, plus enables us to better help other users with similar issues.

  • When updating apps in iTunes there is no more description what's "new in this version"...

    Hi
    I regulary update my  collection of apps via iTunes on my Macbook Pro and then sync  back to my iPhone and iPad. When I check out the website of a specific app (https://itunes.apple.com/.../app/.../id) in a browser or in the update tab on my iPad/iPhone I can find a description of what's new in the current version of the app. This used to be also a helpful feature in iTunes but it's gon with iTunes 11. Strange but when updating apps in iTunes there is mostly no more description what's "new in this version"...

    I did download these. Tarascon Adult Emergency Medicine, Scanner 911, Angry Birds, Cut the rope, Epicurious, Home Away, Nike Running, etc...
    I occationally sync it with my computer. I wonder if I can delete them from there?

    will final cut pro X 10.0.8  still be available for purchase after the new final cut pro release for mavericks/new macpro in december?

    10.0.8 is no longer available, except in the trial version. The current sale version is 10.0.9. Apple has never sold older versions of their software, only the current version. That's not going to change in the near future.
