Mozilla updates GPG signing key for Firefox releases after exposure
Mozilla announced today that it updated the GPG key used to sign Firefox and Thunderbird releases after it was accidentally exposed on GitHub.
However, in a Monday blog post, it noted that the risk of a supply chain attack in which threat actors could distribute malicious installers signed with the exposed key is low because only a limited number of individuals had access to the GitHub repository.
Additionally, Mozilla has yet to find evidence that the previous GPG key was accessed by unauthorized parties while being exposed.
Beyond color: Fluorescence lifetime imaging distinguishes multiple proteins in living plant cells
Fluorescent protein imaging is an indispensable tool in life science research, enabling visualization of protein movement and localization, gene expression, signaling pathways, protein-protein interactions and more. For simultaneous analysis of multiple proteins (i.e., multiplex imaging), a variety of fluorescent proteins that emit different colors (blue, green, yellow and red) have been developed.
However, the number of colors that can be distinguished simultaneously is limited, making it difficult to observe and distinguish multiple fluorescent proteins that emit similar colors. Now, researchers from WPI-ITbM at Nagoya University have demonstrated that overlapping colored fluorescent proteins can be distinguished within living plant cells using fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM).
This research was published in Plant Physiology on July 30, 2026.
Copilot on web expands conversation controls
We’ve made improvements to Copilot Chat on github.com that make it easier to use. These include easier access to your recent conversations in chat, the ability to minimize the chat window and return to an in-progress conversation, and indicators that help you track your Copilot token spend.
We’ve improved the chat overlay experience by adding two new features.
The first is the ability to minimize the screen during a conversation. This allows you to browse GitHub while waiting for a Copilot response.
