From the changelog:<p>> <i>autocomplete=off is no longer supported for username/password fields</i><p>As far as I can recall, autocomplete=off was originally added specifically for username and password fields, so somebody who nicked your laptop couldn't go to your bank's website and have your username and password filled in.<p>As a power user I find autocomplete=off pretty annoying, but I've got ways to work around it. I'm very curious what the rationale for this change is.
64-bit Windows builds, finally! This is great news. The rate of (virtual) OOM crashes on Windows is pretty high because a 32-bit address space just isn't enough for many workloads these days, and 64-bit builds solves that problem definitely.
This is much needed for us at <a href="http://Clara.io" rel="nofollow">http://Clara.io</a>. We have for the last 8 months been detecting when users who are using 32 bit desktop browsers and have been putting up in-app warnings directing people to upgrade to 64 bit versions.<p>Our forum post about the issue:<p><a href="http://forum.clara.io/t/information-on-64-bit-web-browsers/979" rel="nofollow">http://forum.clara.io/t/information-on-64-bit-web-browsers/9...</a>
Nifty, but unfortunately we're still kinda limited to 32-bit addressing in typed arrays. It'd be nice if JS had an actual integer type that went up to 64 bits.
64-bit Windows builds of Firefox have been available for quite a while from the Waterfox Project:<p><a href="https://www.waterfoxproject.org" rel="nofollow">https://www.waterfoxproject.org</a>
Chrome displays if the browser is 64bit in its about box, but for Firefox that information is a bit harder to find out.<p>It's in about:buildconfig
From the comments, if you've got the 32bit version installed and want to install the 64bit version (basically, it's not an update from one to the other):<p>– Uninstall Win32
– Don’t remove your profile
– Install Win64 (it’s a full installer vs. a update)
<i>If you haven’t downloaded the Developer Edition browser yet, it’s a fine time to give it a try. Here’s why:</i><p>Aha, so where can I try that Unreal Engine 4 demo myself?
