"In the next few days, we will start the Nightly experiment which provides easy access to AI services from the sidebar. This functionality is entirely optional, and it’s there to see if it’s a helpful addition to Firefox. It is not built into any core functionality and needs to be turned on by you to see it.
If you want to try the experiment, activate it via Nightly Settings \> Nightly Experiments (please see full instructions here).
We’d love to hear your feedback once you try out the feature, and we’re open to all your ideas and thoughts, whether it’s small tweaks to the current experience or big, creative suggestions that could boost your productivity and make accessing your favorite tools and services in Firefox even easier."

- www.theregister.com Firefox 127's private window handling angers users
Mozilla backtracking on private window changes after uproar
There used to be an option called browser.privateWindowSeparation.enabled, which ever since Firefox 106 back in October 2022 resulted in separate taskbar icons for normal and private Firefox windows. In version 127, this option has gone away, removed in this code change. Users complained on Mozilla's forums and on Reddit at the time, but it was at least possible to recombine the icons with the option in about:config – but no longer.
As you might imagine, people are not happy, although according to the official response in this complaint, it looks like the change will be reverted in Firefox 128...

For people who worry about Youtube buffering/skipping issues, it's fixed in Firefox 129, wait for Firefox 127.0.2
bugzilla.mozilla.org Invalid Bug IDSorry, I can't find "1878510#c114". It does not seem like bug number nor an alias to a bug.
cross-posted from: https://lemdro.id/post/9940873
> > > And this is 100% Youtube's fault, not Firefox's fault, they created this issue: > > > > > > > > This problem is triggered by bad muxed VP9 bytestream served by Youtube, so it's not a regression on our side, this issue can also be reproduced on old versions Firefox. Usually when muxing a video bytestream, the video samples' timestamp should be monotonizally increasing and no overlap between samples. But there are some bad video samples in YT's bytesteam, they overlapped with the previous sample. Eg. [124416000, 125126000] and [125125000, 131382000]. The next one should start from 12516000 instead of starting from 125125000 causing an overlapping. > > > > > > > > > > > > That overlapped sample triggers this and our WebM demuxer fails to calculate the next timestamp in that situation. The end time of video sample was set to the same as the sample's start time, and that causes a gap being detected for the next sample, resulting in resetting append state. When doing so, mNeedRandomAccessPoint would be set to true and that triggers the sample skipping mechanism per the spec. > > > > > > > > > > > > Therefore, there would be many sample being incorrectly skipped and won't be added into the buffered range. When entering the buffering state, Firefox would be waiting those sample which has been skipped but Youtube thought that those samples were already appended. That makes the endless buffering happened. > > > > > > > > Source: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show\_bug.cgi?id=1878510#c113 (Alastor Wu [:alwu]) > >

Firefox update failing and Wide vine will not install.
As title stated, this happened about a week ago. Automatic update fails every time, and I can't watch any streaming service due to Widevine Content Decryption never downloading.
Things I have tried:
Refreshing and resetting.
Reinstalling, then reinstalling after deleting every file and registry key associated with Mozilla or Firefox.
Unchecking DRM content and rechecking.
Removed all add ons and extensions, fresh install as stated above. To the point the installer didn't know it was installed before.
Added Firewall exceptions for inbound and outbound. Weird it wasn't listed, but this didn't fix it regardless.
Set full access to firefox.exe on security for my user name.
Made sure firefox was running as admin, even on my admin account.
I am not using or have any programs that are known to cause issues with Firefox or Widevine updates installed.
No other antivirus programs or firewall programs, just default windows programs.
My admin account is the only account on this machine. And only one install of Firefox is present.
At a loss and frustrated to the point of wanting to move to Chrome after 2 decades of using Firefox. shivers at the thought
