Microsoft delivered a new Windows 10 build for participants of the Windows Insiders programs. A new build, 14251, is part of the Redstone 1 branch and features the version number jump we mentioned yesterday. Let's see what exactly has changed and what is new in the released build.

Windows 10 build 11103 Redstone 1 has suddenly leaked to the Internet
Today is an unusual day in Windows 10 development history. A new "private" build of Windows 10 found its way to the internet. It is interesting because ever since Microsoft made Windows 10 beta testing open to everyone via the Windows Insiders program, only a few builds have actually leaked to the public. So the "leak" of Windows 10 build 11103 is a rather odd exception.
Upgrade to a different language of Windows 10 from the installed one
If you face this issue where a localized (fully translated) version of Windows 10 cannot be installed from the setup media and it warns you that the language of the installed operating system is different, then there is a simple Registry tweak which will allow you to bypass this limitation. You will be able to upgrade Windows 10 from a different language ISO and keep your programs and files. Here is how.

Create a shortcut to Backup and Restore\Create system image
Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10 come with a built-in tool to which allow you to create a system image backup including system data and the user data. It is located in Control Panel\Backup and Restore. In Windows 8 and Windows 10, it is called Backup and Restore (Windows 7). If you prefer this tool over other tools and applications available for system imaging, you might be interested in creating a shortcut to launch the system image wizard with one click.
Mozilla has postponed add-ons signature requirement till Firefox 46
As you might be knowing, Mozilla was going to remove the option xpinstall.signatures.required from about:config in Firefox 44. Once this option would have been removed, the user would have been unable to bypass the digital signature enforcement for add-ons. Mozilla has changed their mind and decided to keep the option till the Firefox 46 release.
