I just had both eyes operated on for cataracts, and not been around for a few days. Just updated to to this morning's NIghty, and the 'New tab' panel' will open any of the tiles when clicked on...

Can't see well enough to dig around just yet.


EDIT:
20180108100050 ca379fcca95b1f4a3744242ea8647004b99b3507N Good
20180109100117 7c9de87c6eb02d7448297bff489f27cb20c33d24N bad

EDIT: I've been using the old new tab page by filipping pref: browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.enabled to 'False', seems that no longer works totally right.

I can mid-click and open the 'tile', left click does nothing... Right-click 'open new tab' works... hmmmmmmm

EDIT: Mozregress points to
Bug 1408139 - Remove probes: NEWTAB_PAGE_SHOWN, NEWTAB_PAGE_SITE_CLICKED, NEWTAB_PAGE_LIFE_SPAN. r=chutten,gfritzsche

[Grantius]

Is the webrender red flashing still happening?

Is the webrender red flashing still happening?

Yes. The random red flashing still happens.
As well as black box and black scrollbox.

[Alice0775]

and weird issue
#1429626 [Core:Graphics: WebRender]-toolbar button is flashing, and surplus repainting if WebRender enabled

[smsmith]

Has anyone else noticed a marked decrease in scroll performance on bugzilla pages recently? Happens in both release and Nightly. Not sure if anything on bugzilla has changed or not, but I do not remember the header staying in the same position when scrolling before I noticed this terrible scrolling performance.

iv'e noticed bad scrolling performance on just about any page, but the way i look at it this New Firefox isnt quite stable compared to when it was all Gecko

Good morning; could you please confirm bug 1429672, especially on platforms different from the one posted? TIA...

I disabled Yet Another Smooth Scroll on bugzilla.mozilla.org and scrolling is ok again.

Something weird is going on with the Firefox Studies opt out checkbox.

Options -> Privacy and Security, Nightly Data Collection and Use, Allow Firefox to install and run studies.

I turned that off explicitly several months ago. But when I open Options, it appears enabled. So I click it to turn it off. The checkbox remains enabled. I have to click it again to turn it off. When I reopen Options, it appears enabled again. And even though it appears enabled, the preference is correctly toggled, which is why clicking it the first time appears not to do anything.

The checkbox controls the preference app.shield.optoutstudies.enabled (which is a horrible name for a preference, in my opinion).

Anybody else seeing this? Release doesn't appear to have this problem.

I think this was discussed some days back... about:preferences is broken because of the xbl removal regresssion

[smsmith]

Ah. Thanks!
