Fixed

• Fixed a regression where position: sticky elements on some webpages could appear stuck or fail to update while mousewheel-scrolling after certain :hover interactions. (Bug 2010481)
  
• Fixed an issue where the Firefox Developer Tools could fail to re-open after using the Inspector's node picker and reloading a page containing cross-origin iframes. (Bug 2003810)
  
• Fixed an issue where the DNS over HTTPS provider settings section could appear as a blank box, preventing users from seeing the current setting or changing it. (Bug 2010501)
  
• Fixed an issue on Windows systems with a large number of fonts installed where parts of the Firefox UI (tabs, menus, and Settings) could display garbled characters or symbols instead of readable text. (Bug 2012950)

Release Notes

SpywareBlaster database update 2/2/2026


10 NEW items (IE/ActiveX)

11 NEW items (Edge/Scripts)

for a total of 19,666 items in database

After updating, be sure to manually enable all protection.

Update: The Wilders domain was successfully re-registered.

At the moment, both https://www.wilderssecurity.com/ and https://www.discussingsecurity.com/ are alive and active, being a mirror of each other.

It appears they now intend to keep the "wilders" alive... it's not clear, since already registered, what will eventually become of "discussingsecurity".

Announcing Windows 11 Insider Preview Build 26300.7733 (Dev Channel)

Changes and Improvements gradually being rolled out with toggle on

[Built-in Sysmon]
Previously announced here, Windows now brings Sysmon functionality natively to Windows. Sysmon functionality allows you to capture system events that can help with threat detection, and you can use custom configuration files to filter the events you want to monitor. The captured events are written on the Windows event log, enabling them to be used with security applications and a wide range of use cases.

Built-in Sysmon is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled.

• Go to Settings > System > Optional features > More Windows features > checking Sysmon or in PowerShell:
• Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Sysmon
  
• To complete the installation, from PowerShell or command prompt run:
• sysmon -i
  

Note: If you've already installed Sysmon from the website, it must be uninstalled before enabling the built-in Sysmon.

Documentation will be added to Windows soon. The functionality of Sysmon remains unchanged, learn more https://learn.microsoft.com/sysinternals/downloads/sysmon.

Fixes gradually being rolled out with toggle on

[File Explorer]

• We fixed a few issues in File Explorer, including accessibility improvements (keyboard navigation and access keys), folder renaming with custom names, and missing icons/tooltips for "Add to favorites".

[Other]

• We fixed an issue that caused apps to freeze when working with files on OneDrive or Dropbox. Some Outlook setups with PSTs on OneDrive could also hang or reload email data.
