Firefox pushing out update that restores add-ons after huge bug [APK Download] - Android Police

Firefox faced a major cybersecurity-related outage this weekend that caused all browser add-ons, themes, search engines, and language packs to be disabled, which left many Tor users potentially exposed to tracking. However, Mozilla was quick to react and published an update to version 66.0.4 on Android and Desktop OSs that reinstated said features yesterday.

The bug started to make its rounds late Friday, May 3rd, when users found all of their browser customizations deactivated. Apparently, an expired certificate on Mozilla's end was the culprit, since Firefox suddenly couldn't verify the integrity of any third-party add-ons anymore and thus automatically disabled everything for everyone. This is a standard procedure to protect users from rogue unsigned extensions, and it worked just as it should since no add-ons were classified as safe any longer.

While that was merely a (granted, big) annoyance to most, especially since it happened during the weekend, one particular group of people had their safety at risk through this snafu: Tor users, who want to surf the web anonymously. You see, the Tor browser is a Firefox fork and relies on the same certificates to verify third-party add-ons – including the pre-installed NoScript extension that prevents websites from tracking you across the internet, which users found deactivated in the middle of researching the dark web. Ouch.

This is what Firefox add-ons looked like over the weekend on version 66.0.2

Luckily, Mozilla was quick to react with a hotfix that came to desktop browsers shortly after the bug was found and an update from version 66.0.2 to 66.0.4 that fixes the issue across all platforms, including Android.

You can either grab the new release from the Play Store widget below or download it straight from APK Mirror. Note that a small number of extensions may disappear from your about:addons after getting the new version. Their data is not gone; you just need to reinstall them from Firefox's add-on store. The situation is similar for themes, which have to be re-enabled manually.

YouTube Music for Android can play your local song collection - Engadget

Sponsored Links

If YouTube Music is going to fully replace Google Play Music, it will need to handle many of the features that listeners take for granted -- and now, local playback is one of them. After an initial rollout for some users, YouTube Music's Android app now supports locally-stored songs for many (if not necessarily all) users in a "Device Files" section. You might not have to worry about missing out on a hard-to-find tune just because you want one app to handle both your local and streaming music collections.

There are limits, at least in the current iteration. You can't add local tracks to playlists or queues that include YouTube Music songs, and you can't cast local songs elsewhere. Not surprisingly, the playback controls also remove YouTube-specific features such as the like and unlike buttons. If those aren't deal-breakers, though, you now have a way to embrace Google's current vision for music without quite so many compromises.

Kuo: 2019 iPhones and New iPad Pro Models in Late 2019 to Early 2020 to Adopt New Antenna Technology - Mac Rumors

Apple plans to use modified-PI (MPI) material for most antennas in 2019 iPhones, rather than the liquid crystal polymer (LCP) material used for the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR antennas, according to the latest research note from reputable analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, obtained by MacRumors.


Kuo believes that LCP limits the RF performance of the iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR antennas due to current technology limitations and production issues. This puts the RF performance of MPI material at least on par with LCP, despite MPI being easier and cheaper to produce.

While switching to MPI material for 2019 iPhone antennas appears to be a no-brainer decision for Apple, Kuo expects that LCP will still be the primary material for 5G antennas in 2020 iPhones, as he believes that the production issues limiting the RF performance of LCP will be resolved by then.

In today's note, Kuo also said he expects Apple to use LCP material in future iPad models, starting from the late fourth quarter of 2019.


In a separate research note last month, which has only been seen by Taiwanese media so far, Kuo said two new iPad Pro models with the same 11-inch and 12.9-inch screen sizes as the current models will enter mass production between the fourth quarter of 2019 and the first quarter of 2020.

Kuo said those new iPad Pro models will feature flexible circuit boards using LCP, but we've yet to receive that research note in English, so we cannot confirm any further details at this time.

Ladies and gentlemen, I come to you this week a broken man. My childhood dream of seeing a speedy video game rodent hero break the fourth wall and go on a road trip with a middling white male actor I only sort of recognize has been shattered.
