I thought I’d bump my rolling count of Firefox Nuisance Updates.

These are version bumps that generally deal with Windows garbage that result in a no change rebuild in some Linux distributions.

116.0.1

Fixed an issue which caused chart elements to render incorrectly for Windows users. (bug 1846613)

Me: (Don’t use Windows.)

116.0.2

Fixed an issue that was causing keystrokes to be scrambled for users using ZoneAlarm anti-keylogger. (bug 1847033)

Me: (Don’t use Windows. Don’t use crappy Windows “security” software.)

116.0.3

Fixed an issue for OPFS users (especially those using the Adobe Photoshop) that broke access to files that were locally cached in a previous version. (bug 1847989, bug 1847619)

Me: (Don’t use Windows. Don’t use Photoshop.)

Fixed an issue that was breaking screensharing for some users on Wayland. (bug 1841851)

Me: (Don’t use Wayland on Linux. Use X11. Screen sharing is a disaster on Wayland. Everything is a disaster on Wayland.)

Fixed an issue where a fullscreen notification was persistently being shown to a user, even after disabling it. (bug 1847901)

Me: (Useless message in Firefox for idiots who don’t know what fullscreen is or how to exit it appearing at bizarre times after a user tried to manually disable the notification due to Firefox being buggy garbage.)

Fixed an issue where Firefox would hang when doing a Google search. (bug 1847066)

Me: (LOL! Don’t use Google Search.) █
