This edition of WOW Weekly also includes a round-up of design and development resources for Linux users.' taxonomy: category: - Software - PC tag: - News --- # Wow Weekly Friday 20th September Published on September 20, 2013 by Tracy Ridge in [Software](https://www.worldoweb.co.uk/category/category:Software) [PC](https://www.worldoweb.co.uk/category/category:PC) In this Friday’s Wow weekly we will be discussing the latest Firefox version, Twitter and my favourite all-time football simulation game as well as my hot picks in design and development for this week. Read more on Wow weekly. ## Football Manager Release Date Announced Sports Interactive are to release Football Manager 2014 on 31st October. For the first time ever it is going to be released for Linux, something I dreamed about for a [long time](https://www.worldoweb.co.uk/2010/my-switch-to-linux-and-why-i-will-never-look-back "My Switch To Linux and Why I Will Never Look Back!"). Lots of improvement with tactics, training, transfers and board interaction along with a complete re-design of the UI. The new cloud-save feature means you can play from any computer all over the world and if you are a steam user you can share your customised content such as logo packs. You can pre-order on [Steam](https://store.steampowered.com/app/231670/ "FM2014 on Steam") or from the developer’s [website](https://www.footballmanager.com/ "Sports Interactive"). ## Firefox 24 The latest version of Firefox has been released. The major changes to the desktop version are close tabs to the right which can be useful if you are like me and open lots of tabs for a brief while. Mac OS X get a new scrollbar. You can now tear off chat windows to view separately by simply dragging. There have been lots of accessibility-related improvements as well as bug fixes. Find out more on the Firefox website.

This may go unnoticed as people don’t generally check to see if they are on any lists. The best defence is to never click on any links through mentions and always report spammers via the [Report as spam](https://blog.twitter.com/2009/help-us-nail-spammers "Help Twitter Nail Spammers") button.
