Mozilla Corp. will drop antiphishing protection from the final version of Firefox 2.0 at Google Inc.'s request when Mozilla updates the browser later this month, a company executive confirmed today.
When Mozilla rolls out Firefox 2.0.0.19, the browser will be missing the antiphishing feature that the aging browser has sported since it debuted in 2006, said Mike Beltzner, director of Firefox, in an e-mail today.
"The latest published update for Firefox 2, which is Version 2.0.0.18, has the Phishing Protection feature enabled and working," Beltzner said. "However, the next planned update for Firefox 2, Version 2.0.0.19, will be required to disable this feature."
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
Not important news. It's because the anti-phishing protocol in FF2 is very old now that it has to be stopped (google can't support it forever)
FF3 still has anti-phishing.
Oh well...There is really no reason to stay on firefox 2.0 anyway. Firefox 3 is leaps and bounds better.
I didnt realise people still used firefox 2. Whats the point now that 3 is out?
