Fangs404 posted:Does anyone know of an ETA for e10s (tabs as separate processes)? It's the one thing they're pretty vague about on the roadmap that I really want to know more about. The most recent thing I've heard was that it's supposed to be a part of Firefox 8. Given what they're supposed to be doing in 8 with garbage collecting and other under the hood changes, it might actually happen this time, but I wouldn't hold them to it.

xamphear posted:All of this just makes me continue to wonder... What the heck does Mozilla do with $300 million dollars a year? I suspect a lot of it has to do with their efforts to get a smartphone OS off the ground. I'll give them credit in that it's something a little different from another attempt to get a pure linux phone on the market, but drat are they not the company to make it happen.

Has anyone else been having problems with the Firefox process not ending after the browser is closed? I haven't seen it do this in like two years or more of use but after upgrading to 29 it's started happening nearly every session. Hopefully it isn't because of the Classic Theme Restorer, that thing is pretty much indispensable. Other than having task manager open to quit the process I can't think of a work-around for this.

We only have thousands of machines of 3 loving models between like 4 driver revisions and it just shows up randomly on a few of them. No rhyme or reason. Your issue may have been fixed with 33.0.1 when it was released the other day.

~Coxy posted:There's a dev blog article (not the main blog article of course) that says that Classic Theme Restorer will be one of the addons that will be impossible in the new world order. Wouldn't it be possible to at least recreate some of what Classic Theme Restorer does with HTML (whenever enough of XUL is replaced with it, of course)? On another note, at what point is Mozilla going to stop trying to be Chrome and accept that they won't be getting the #2 status back? They've chased the Chrome target for years now and all they've done is make poor decisions and hemorrhage market share. I can understand wanting to gate off access to the inner parts of the browser from add-ons, but they turned off the ability to get some semblance of the old user interface back just from simple button/toolbar rearranging like several versions ago. They can't possibly be dumb enough to ride this into the grave. zetamind2000 fucked around with this message at 08:30 on Aug 22, 2015 |

Alereon posted:Christ guys, add-ons aren't dead, Firefox is just transitioning to a new high-performance add-on API. Overall jank and performance issues caused by add-ons have been the top complaints about Firefox, and this will address both of those. I know that, and I understand why it's happening, I just don't like them killing the ability to change the UI while doing it. And this goes well back to before they announced this, either, if Mozilla wasn't slowly killing off the ability to customize the way Firefox looks add-ons like CTR wouldn't be necessary in the first place. It's their browser and they can release however they like, but there should at least be an option to move things around so it doesn't look like a copy of Chrome all the time.

Has anyone been encountering this problem? After upgrading to Firefox 41, the Mozilla Archive Format add-on completely shits the bed whenever I try to open a .maff file. I've tried this with both the signed and beta versions, if that helps. Hopefully they either fix this or someone finds a solution quickly, as this renders a good six years worth of backups almost-completely worthless.

Not sure what could be causing this, but Firefox seems to not be displaying images hosted from the domain https://pbs.twimg.com (which depending on the thread I'm reading, means that either some or all of the images will be absent). Has anyone else been having this problem? If so, do I need to disable something to fix it?

Mad Doctor Cthulhu posted:Only downside to Firefox 43 is that Classic Theme Restorer can no longer make the search bar act like it did in previous versions. Which kinda sucks. Updating to the current Classic Theme Restorer beta doesn't solve the problem either. You can make the search bar go back to how it previously worked, actually. In the options menu for Classic Theme Restorer, click on General UI (1) and there should be a checkbox labelled "Old search (experimental)".

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 |

astral posted:I imagine a fresh install should bring it back if it's missing. Primetime (CDM for Adobe DRM) and Widevine (CDM for Google DRM) ought to show up under the "Plugins" tab of the addons manager. I just upgraded to Firefox 47 (via direct from FTP, granted), and it's not in the Plugins tab. 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. I would like to avoid wiping the slate clean and starting over, if possible. zetamind2000 fucked around with this message at 00:13 on Jun 7, 2016 |

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.

Be warned if you use Firefox 47 with the extension Mozilla Archive Format 4.0.0, you can't right click and save anything when the extension is enabled. This goes away when you disable it, but given that the extension requires a restart to toggle, it'll be pretty annoying. The developers are usually pretty good about fixing mistakes this glaring, so hopefully it should be remedied before too long. edit: Although drag and drop still works so if it's something like a picture the bug doesn't seem to affect it. zetamind2000 fucked around with this message at 03:30 on Jun 8, 2016 |

Like it sounds, anything that would start automatically when a new tab is created (like a YouTube video, for example) doesn't start until the tab is clicked on, and although you can't toggle it on and off they even give you a play button at the end of the tabs that are being stopped. edit: beaten, but yeah.

I'm using the 52 beta version but it doesn't to want to update on it's own, though I don't know if that is supposed to happen with beta versions or not.
