@Tsaukpaetra thanks, I knew that, I was just complaining.

Is this just Office 365, as a web application, integrated into Edge?
No.

@marczellm
And it launched some background process in Firefox that was grinding the CPU at 20% plus using 1.7 GB RAM even after closing all tabs and just an empty tab open. -

@marczellm WebExtensions can't change the title of their context menu items in response to a context menu open like page script can; it can only act when their items are clicked. Thanks Chrome!
It seems like a solution is in the works:
But the extension author is not really active even though many of us commented on the Github issue lately.
Do y'all think that the only way to get this extension working in Quantum, given
- the bug is on priority P5
- the extension developer not responding on Github
would be spending the summer
- learning how to develop Firefox
- implementing the onBeforeShow event in Firefox
- learning how to develop WebExtensions
- porting the extension
?

Can anyone suggest a replacement for this addon?
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/gtranslate/
I'm using it all the time. It's the only one holding me back.

RE: Firefox, again
@blek said in Firefox, again:
the bookmarks bar looking kinda weird.
In Australis, it kept looking weird for 5 years. When it got fixed they were already working on Quantum I think.

personally i just don't get what all the hate about windows 10 is.... is this another moving of the cheese issue?
I only know 2 people (myself included) who did a Windows 7 to Windows 10 upgrade. Of those, 2 out of 2 Windows 10 installs had the Windows 10 Start menu (and all other Windows 10 apps) stop working within 45 days.
You'll have to excuse me if I refuse to use an OS with a 100% failure rate (of the computers I've looked at) in a major OS feature for upgrade installs.
In my case, it was the opposite way. I upgraded from W7 to W10 and within 45 days after the upgrade, my Start Menu started working again!

RE: WTF Office?
@cartman82 said in WTF Office?:
Why would you need updates? It's not like Office has drastically improved since 2007. If you are just using the basic features, pay once and never pay again.
Very much this. I have Office 2007 on an older computer and it does everything for me. Only thing it lacks is a good equation editor in PowerPoint, and I would have used it in university if I wasn't a die hard LaTeX fan.
@kt_ you have good points.

RE: How will you deal with the coming Firefox apocalypse?
I don't know. I have only 5 addons installed:
It's very useful when you have to download a lot of files from a page but I have to do that maybe once a year.
This is being converted to WebExtension.
I can live without this.
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/gtranslate/
I use this all the time. But it doesn't seem hard to reimplement as a WebExt. I could even do that myself.
...and Microsoft .NET Framework Assistant which got there automatically; though it adds ClickOnce support which I use occasionally.

RE: Mystery of the Facebook apps for Windows
@anotherusername said in Mystery of the Facebook apps for Windows:
@marczellm is it actually running the iOS app? I could see the appeal if it meant they could get a Windows app for free by simply plugging the iOS app into that emulator. However, if it's unusably slow and buggy, it sort of defeats the purpose...
It's slow and buggy but not unusable. I don't know if there's a way to tell if it's really the iOS app; but it surely looks like one. I rather think that when they need to, they create a snapshot of the iOS code repo, strip out a whole bunch of things, plug it in the emulator, fix some bugs and release.
This app being outside of the mainstream comes with some benefits though. It doesn't update that often. I'm so glad it didn't get Messenger Day yet. (The one that takes space away from the contact list.) They do change the interface around sometimes though, even without app updates. Live code push, or web content, dunno.

RE: Mystery of the Facebook apps for Windows
@twelvebaud said in Mystery of the Facebook apps for Windows:
The Facebook app wants to push everything it can into the "what's new Timeline" section of each of your contacts, so that you can tap/click it and get sucked back into Facebook.
Wow I've never seen that section. Can Facebook write there if it didn't request contacts access? Does it do that for you? Can you show a screenshot?
