Are you sure you don't have some other software updating Firefox in the background?

Normally this only happens on Linux when your package manager updates Firefox while it's running, and on Windows that doesn't happen because Firefox updates itself only when you (re)start it.

I'm pretty sure it's impossible to keep everything arranged "correctly" geographically while keeping the proportions correct and having them be regular shapes. If anything it's impressive that you can get it as close as this.

They do, they're just not connected to the dishwasher so don't need to be factored into its energy usage.

But then shouldn't there be a delay when using actual Chrome?

I thought pounds could be used for either mass or force, and in modern usage just saying "pounds" usually refers to mass. Wikipedia seems to agree:

Perry is made from pears, it's not just pear-flavoured apple cider.

Those are British though. Though I'm sure there are also American examples.

I would have said 平和 (heiwa). As another learner, I've never seen 安泰, and ピース I see mostly used as a reference to the "peace sign" (the hand gesture).

A plane starts the day at the airport, does an even number of flights back and forth, and then one last flight and ends it at another airport. Repeat the next day but in reverse.

Only if they only spoke one language. Googling indicates there are somewhere around 1.45 to 2 billion total English speakers, so just knowing English might hit 25% already.

Edit: Also, the graph only lists languages with 50 million speakers, so the real proportions are smaller.

Apple, for one, because not only do they default to this but there's no option to change it separately for the mouse wheel vs touch pad without third party software.

While we're being pedantic,

lit. "octopus balls"

It doesn't literally mean that, it's more like "grilled octopus".
