The Mozilla Foundation published the financial report for the year 2020 today, revealing that it earned $496 million in 2020. The Foundation earned $828 million in 2019 , but $338 million came from a legal dispute with former search engine provider Yahoo. Revenue increased by about $6 million in 2020 as a consequence if you ignore the $338 million one-time payment. Subscription revenue is on the rise If you look at the revenue sources, you will notice that revenue from royalties is still making the bulk of Mozilla’s revenue. It dropped from about $451 million to $441, and includes all search engine deals. ADVERTISEMENT Mozilla invested heavily in subscription-based products, and revenue from subscriptions rose from $14 million in 2019 to $24 million in 2020. It is still a low percentage of the overall revenue. Mozilla launched new products, including Firefox Relay Premium or Mozilla VPN ,  that will bring in additional revenue. Mozilla VPN launched in mid-2020 in a few countrie

Ventoy 1.0.62, the latest version of the popular open source tool to create bootable USB devices using disk images such as ISO, includes a new tool called VentoyPlugson. VentoyPlugson gives Ventoy users a graphical user interface to configure the tool. Up until now, Ventoy users could only configure the application through the ventoy.json file directly; this option is not going away, and users can even mix and match both options, e.g. by using VentoyPlugson to create a ventoy.json file and then editing the file manually to tweak it further, The latest release version of Ventoy includes the tool in the zip archive. Windows users need to extract the archive that they download from the official repository and run VentoyPlugson.exe afterwards. ADVERTISEMENT It displays a small GUI. Select the Ventoy USB device and then the Start button; this should open the configuration page in the default browser. If that does not work, use the Link button instead. There is also a refresh button i

Progressive Web Apps for Firefox is a browser extension for Mozilla’s Firefox web browser and a command line utility to install, manage and use Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) in Firefox. Mozilla’s Firefox web browser supports many of the APIs that PWAs use, but Mozilla decided some time ago to remove installation options from Firefox. Most Chromium-based browsers support installing PWAs directly from within. Installation on desktop systems adds these applications to the Start Menu for quick access, and these apps launch in their own dedicated window. Progressive Web Apps for Firefox introduces a number of features to Firefox that users of the browser may find useful. Some functionality may even be useful to users who don’t use PWAs. ADVERTISEMENT PWAs that are installed in Firefox through the extension benefit from a number of extra features. One of the most interesting features of the extension is that PWAs are run in an isolated Firefox extension that may use multiple profiles to s

Get WSUS Content .NET is a free program for Windows that helps administrators gain more control over the updating process. It enables you to search for Windows updates, driver updates and other product updates that Microsoft provides for various client and server versions of Windows, to download these to the local system, and to install the downloaded update packages without requiring an Internet connection or using the Windows Update interface.

Image Load Control is a browser extension for Mozilla’s Firefox web browser to block the loading of images on sites. The extension includes blacklist/whitelist functionality to block or allow the loading on select sites. Firefox includes native options to disable the loading of images on sites. Downside to using it is that it works globally only, meaning that it is either turned on or off, and that it is controlled by a preference, which means that it is not easily changed. Firefox did include a front-facing setting once to toggle the loading of images for sites, but Mozilla did remove it. To use it, Firefox users need to change the preference permissions.default.image; this can be done by loading about:config the browser’s address bar. ADVERTISEMENT A value of 1 is the default and means that Firefox will load all images. A value of 2 blocks the loading of all images, a value of 3 only the loading of third-party images. Image Load Control adds granularity to the image blocking f

Windows 11 Build 22509.1100 is now available for participants in the Insider Preview Program’s Developer Channel. It improves the Start Menu What’s new in Windows 11 Build 22509.1100 Start Menu When Windows 11 was released, the Start Menu’s design was criticized for several reasons. One thing that irked users was the wasted space below the Pinned apps and Recommended section. Build 22509.1100 makes the experience better, instead of three rows of icons, you can now have up to 4 sets of Pinned shortcuts or Recommendations. ADVERTISEMENT The new style isn’t enabled by default, you will have to go to the Settings app > Personalization > Start, and choose More Pins or More recommendations, as required. Toggling the More Pins option increases the number of Pinned app rows to 4, and reduces the Recommended section to a single row, whereas if you do the opposite, you get 4 Recommended rows and 2 Pinned rows. The Start Menu does not remove the other rows, you can use the mouse wh

Microsoft is rolling out a Paint app update for Windows 11 Insiders in the Developer Channel . It brings some changes to the core functionality of the built-in drawing tool. In case you missed it, Microsoft released Paint with a new design in September. What’s new in the Paint app update for Windows 11 Edit Colors The latest update for the app changes the Edit Colors dialog box. It still has the 48 color palette, but the icons are no longer square-shaped, nor are in an 8 by 6 grid. The new style has rounded icons in a 12 by 4 grid. The circles match the icons on the toolbar, so that’s a nice touch. ADVERTISEMENT While the old Paint version allowed you to save 16 custom colors, the new app lets you save up to 30 colors. It is slightly easier to add custom colors, you just need to click the plus button and pick a color. You can view the name of a color by hovering the mouse over an icon in the Edit Colors palette, this also works with the Custom Colors and the Spectrum box on t
