Mozilla adds -webkit prefix emulation to select sites in Firefox

 

 

The emulation is hardcoded into Firefox 39 which means that it will only work on a list of sites that Mozilla added to it specifically.

?

?

Thanks Webkit. /s

Thanks Webkit. /s

Funny thing is, when Microsoft first floated the idea of other engines parsing -webkit- CSS gunk, Apple was against it, worried they'd then have to support quirks in how other browsers parsed it.

Luckily for Apple, Microsoft and Mozilla actually care abut keeping their engines up to date and fixing bugs, so any parsing quirks will remain with WebKit.

You can disable DRM support in the normal version, this build is special in that it's disabled at compile time, and the resulting support code isn't in the binary, so these builds can't even have it enabled at a later date without re-installing a normal version.

Edit: Quite a niche market though, due to how Mozilla has enabled the DRM modules to work all their code is completely open source, and can still be shipped with Linux distros (Even with DRM disabled by default). And considering how people actually liked when Google shipped their DRM support in Chrome for Linux, I doubt many people will complain.

Yeah, I know, it is stated in the article that it is an option as well. These builds are programmed not to retrieve Adobe DRM player at all.

It requires the content provider to support the DRM first, and even then I think the client side support is still limited to YouTube playback.

A bunch of Windows 64bit bugs have been resolved overnight, if they're backported to 40 then that should be the first official 64bit build, otherwise it's all going to be in 41.

Clues for the clueless: Why would Firefox be putting DRM support in it's browser? Who would want it?
