    New Firefox earns full WebRTC


    Posted: 25 Jun 2013
    Following the recent introduction of full Web Real-Time Communications to Chrome, Tuesday's update to Firefox makes it the second browser to support the plugin-free protocol.

    The debut of WebRTC, as the protocol is known, in Firefox 22 (download for Windows | Mac | Linux) is no small potatoes. "Plugins are the single largest source of security and stability issues that we see," said Johnathan Nightingale, Mozilla's vice-president of engineering for Firefox.

    WebRTC is planned for Firefox for Android (download), which also updated today, but it has yet to be added to the mobile browser.

    I've been running FF 22 for a few hours now...
    So far, no problems with the update.

    Yep. No crashes/hiccups. Will see if my trashy netbook sees any performance improvement from the hardware acceleration they added. Although I doubt opengl works that well on GMA3150

    I'm stuck back at Firefox 12 which is the last version where I can drag 7F Bookmarked links Title-intact into posts without converting them to the untitled URL. Still searching for a workaround or fix. Firefox forums are no help at all.

    what about tiny url or a similar site to change them all, then you can upgrade.


    edit, the forum changes the url's to the tutorial title
    example...
    SFC /SCANNOW Command - System File Checker

    There's no convenience I've found comparable to dropping down the Bookmark menu, tap first letter, drag into post. I can slice and dice several of them into each paragraph in seconds.

    But they need to stay titled so I can also work the title into the post text.

    yeah i appreciate the conveinenc of the drag and drop but for non forum tutorials or links,
    cant you type the title then highlight it and then add the link, more hassle but worth having a faster more secure browser with all singing and dancing newness.

    You mean drag from the URL box, Julian?

    Edit: Creating a link in a post with the link maker takes time while dragging a bookmark from drop-down takes none. The problem is that after version 12 it turns the dragged URL to a URL and it stays that way in most posts. I need it to drag and remain as its titled so I can edit the title as needed (or not) but dragging a URL is too clumsy and loses thread continuity. That's all. Hope I explained it better this time.
