• demise of FB w/FF and w/Opera

    Well.. It has finally come to pass. Facebook doesn't operate ã100% with FireFox 52.8.0 or Opera 36.ããThe dynamics required to start a message in the Messenger panel ãfor replies doesn't work. The cursor might sit blinking in the ãmessage field, but there is no reponse with keystrokes.ããAs much as I lothe using FB, it is however the only way to ãreach (or spy on) some friends or relatives.ããã--- OpenXP 5.0.50ã * Origin: Ogg's Dovenet Point (723:320/1.9)ã þ Synchronet þ CAPCITY2 * capcity2.synchro.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/Rlogin/HTTPã

I have a feeling Facebook (like other companies) probably focus more on their mobile app rather than making sure their web site works 100% for desktop users, unfortunately. I've noticed even their web site these days seems more optimized for mobile use. If I make my web browser window bigger on the screen, I think it looks a little weird - The news feed takes up a fixed-width center column, with some links on the left and contacts on the right. If you have a big monitor and maximize the browser window, there's a lot of empty space on the page.ããNightfoxãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Digital Distortion: digitaldistortionbbs.comã

I'm playing around with switching from Chrome to ãFirefox (again), but I barely use Facebook these days.ããI stopped using remote desktop to access my work laptop; instead I've been ãusing Edge on my home system and using the Microsoft 365 apps. I'm pretty ãhappy with the setup, and like being able to keep work in a different ãbrowser.ããã...

A lot of not-so-modern web applicationsãwill give you trouble with old browsers and operating systems.ããNot to mention it is reckless to use an old unsuported OS in an Internet facingãmachine.ããGiven the upgrade cost is zero, you could make yourself a gift and useãsomething more recent.ãã--ãgopher://gopher.richardfalken.com/1/richardfalkenãã---ã þ Synchronet þ Palantir BBS * palantirbbs.ddns.net * Pensacola, FLã
