Is there any way to set the default behaviour when clicking the downloads toolbar button, such that it shows the library and full download manager rather than the cut down and annoying small version? (Ie the kind you get when you press Ctrl-J). Googling this has been fruitless because of the deprecated browser.download.useToolkitUI setting spamming up the results, along with the "how do I find where things downloaded to?" hurfadurfing. I've lived with it, but it's getting to be a pain in the rear end.

Well I force-enabled e10s with some toggle and now it says it's enabled. Thing seem to work fine.. so far. And the browser feels more responsive. Perhaps I'll run into problems later!

I use an addon called Download Manager Tweak. It lets you move the download window into a tab, the side effect of which is that clicking the button just takes you to that tab. Also lets you faff with the appearance of the download tab a bit.

I decided to install the beta so that I could try electrolysis. I enabled it and about:support shows multiprocess windows with a non-zero value. Everything has worked so far, but two things confuse me: Process explorer shows only one Firefox process and The process is using significantly less memory than I've used to seeing (private bytes) (now: less than half a gig vs over a gig it was using almost immediately after startup) It using less memory is of course good, I just don't understand why. Then again, I've only been using it for about a day, so i don't have that much experience with it yet.

One thing that would almost 100% guaranteed crash Firefox previously was opening 20-30 flickr photo pages (doctor, it hurts when I do this), so I decided to try that. Nothing. Still using under half a gig of memory after I closed the tabs, and the browser stayed a lot more responsive throughout the test.

Is NPAPI actually now deprecated on Linux then? I installed Fresh Player which is an NPAPI->PPAPI wrapper that lets me use Chrome's pepper flash, then I tried to install pipelight so that I could use Silverlight. The former is showing up but not the latter.

I re-ran my flickr torture test and I noticed that plugin-container.exe was using almost 3 gigs of memory before a bunch of tabs crashed. But it was only the tabs that crashed, not the whole browser. And more importantly, I'm still logged into Twitter, for example. I'm definitely loving this so far. e: apparently firefox uses plugin.container.exe for both plugins and the content process of the tabs.

Flash is literally the only outside NPAPI plugin allowed in Win64 Firefox because we are all dead and this is Hell. EDIT: OpenH264 and Adobe EME might be NPAPI plugins too but either way they're delivered by Mozilla itself.

Also Linux has some other NPAPI plugins still (like OpenJDK and things, ergh) - it's just that Adobe doesn't care about Flash on Linux anymore as of a couple years ago, back when it was version 11 still (and Google only cares insofar as it gets people using Chrome), and other plugins people MIGHT find useful like Unity never found their way to Linux, and now that HTML5 and asm.js are sort of things no one's had good reasons to make new plugins anymore (they may have lovely and/or selfish reasons to make or mandate them, though).

Well, they made a working video player once in 2005 and they have used the same content creation pipeline since then. It is kind of a big pain in the rear end to remake it, so maybe if they put fingers in their ears and shout lalalalala, the future won't happen.

So I may have messed up a while ago and deleted my Firefox DRM plugin. Is there a way to get it back? Google isn't showing me any downloads, just ways to uninstall it. I'm currently using Firefox 47, if this helps, but it was already uninstalled at least when I was using Firefox 45. edit: Although this may not actually be important, as I can't seem to figure out if Widevine CDM is actually installed or not. Is there a way to check if it is? Because if it is, I don't need the old DRM plugin. zetamind2000 fucked around with this message at 00:00 on Jun 7, 2016 |

It seems like it's working, because I can watch Netflix and entries for Widevine being enabled appear in about :config, but the rest is baffling me. Both the Adobe plugin and Widevine DLLs are in the profile folder, which only adds to the confusion.

Other than that, you could probably test your current one with something on Amazon's streaming service - if it plays something but doesn't ask you to use Silverlight, you've got Widevine. Their help docs suggest this free video as a test: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DU71GY4/

astral posted:Well, you could check if they're listed in a new profile. Ah, it seems to be working. It doesn't ask for Silverlight, defaults in video quality to Auto instead of SD, and the page itself claims that I own the video in HD. The player itself doesn't give me a clear read on if Auto in this case means HD, but things seem to be in order. What I guess I can take away from this is that it appears to be working but can only be flipped on and off in about :config. Testing it with the Adobe plugin turned off in about :config, it still plays with Widevine turned on, so mystery solved. Thanks for your help, this was bothering me more than it should have. zetamind2000 fucked around with this message at 00:45 on Jun 7, 2016 |

Ironically, it seems that the Adobe DRM is needed for Netflix, but Netflix won't recognize and use Widevine. Which sucks, because Widevine is needed for 1080p.

Anyone else have aliasing problems on text on 46.0.1 64bit? As soon as I updated suddenly all text is unaliased and it's really frustrating. Been looking all day and haven't found anything concrete.

It should delete any downloaded CDMs. Maybe restart the browser, and then check "Play DRM content" again. The Adobe and Google CDMs should download automatically.
