Does anybody know what setting it is to change the scroll bars behaviour? I want it to jump to where I click on the bar rather than scroll, if that makes sense. I know I used to have it set like that on an old computer.

Majorgeeks.com has offline installers (that don't need to download anything else/delete themselves on install) for Flash.

Lum posted:I didn't see any McAfee poo poo, nothing appears on my start menu or in add/remove programs. It was just listed in the add/remove programs list and removing it from there seems to have gotten rid of it. If it's not there, you probably don't have it. It was also displayed in the installer's progress dialogue, which was why I noticed it in the first place. I'm not sure what caused it, but at the time I got served the same file whether or not I had the McAfee checkbox checked. I just checked again, and now I do get an installer without McAfee.  edit: Another issue, after installation, the installer starts Firefox to show a "You got flash" website. When it does this, Firefox is running under the same rights as the installer, i.e. as an Administrator. dwazegek fucked around with this message at 08:32 on Oct 7, 2011 |

mobn posted:This also leads to aforementioned crippling lag, and doesn't disable the screensaver, so it doesn't really count as a proper fullscreen implementation. Your right it's not a proper full-screen, F11 is a different animal. We are actually working on Full-Screen (DOM) at the moment that would be a proper full screen. http://blog.pearce.org.nz/2011/09/mozilla-full-screen-api-progress-update.html

Just an FYI, we are planning on offering a 3.6 -> 7.0 upgrade notice (some of you had killed off previous notices), these are one time offers from Moz and are not part of your usual upgrade notices. However, as some of you have already noticed Sync is having some back-end problems that are being worked on and instead of compounding that with a bunch of new users we are going to fix it first then do the upgrade offer. For some more info check the blog of Christian Legnitto. http://christian.legnitto.com/blog/2011/10/06/postponing-the-firefox-3-6-x-7-0-advertised-update/

I recently switched back from chrome to FF7. What do I need to install to enable h.264 video playback in FF7? The Microsoft plugin isn't compatible with FF7 it seems.

When I update to a new Firefox version, will it save the tabs I currently have open? This seems dumb but it's the only thing that has kept me from upgrading.

I have no idea if anyone will know anything about this here but I used to use something called Configurable Security Policies in firefox, (info here: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/security/components/ConfigPolicy.html) to disable annoying javascript on certain sites. For example, I added the line code:Anbody know anything about this?

Firefox has a password saved for a form on my company site. I recently had to change the password, but firefox won't let me update it. Is there a way to make it update it? I tried deleting the entry but it doesn't even offer to save it now.

It is possible that your company site added autocomplete=off to the password element sometime in between when you saved the password and when changed the password. (Pro tip: if you use Firebug or whatever to delete the autocomplete=off attribute from the password input element, Firefox will save the password when you submit the form.)

I've noticed now that when I have a Youtube play list playing on fullscreen the video will revert back away from fullscreen in between videos. Before I upgraded to 7 the videos would remain in fullscreen without me having to do anything. Is this a Firefox issue? I also recently upgraded flash.

The geolocation stuff that Firefox is capable of is pretty startling. I've seen services using my IP address get within about twenty kilometres of my house, but somehow Google Maps was able to locate me pretty much exactly.

The Dark One posted:The geolocation stuff that Firefox is capable of is pretty startling. I've seen services using my IP address get within about twenty kilometres of my house, but somehow Google Maps was able to locate me pretty much exactly. While it's not strictly related to Firefox itself, I'd like to explain just how this method of geolocation works, as I think it's really a clever system. So you know how Google drives every-freaking-place in those street view cars? Well, when they do they're also collecting all sorts of wifi data. Primarily SSIDs, MAC addresses, broadcast power, and signal strengths of access points. They poll these maybe once every second (just guessing, it may be (and probably is) much more often than that) and pair this data up with very high quality GPS locations. From there, they can triangulate the location of any given wireless router by its transmit power and received signal strength down to that startling accuracy you mentioned. Now for Firefox's end. When a website asks for your location and you tell Firefox yes, Firefox polls the routers nearby. It sees, any routers that your wireless card is capable of seeing. It takes their SSIDs, MAC addresses, and signal strengths and gives them to Google. Google compares that data with their own, and can use that to put you on the map through standard triangulation and can pin your location down fairly accurately. Even if you're not connected to a router that's in Google's database. If this system fails -- say because you live in the middle of bufu nowhere and they have not seen fit to send street view cars into your neighborhood -- Google will rely on the standard backup of IP-based geolocation and tell you that you're 2 towns over.

Alereon posted:They're working on that under the Electrolysis project, the early results of which were to break out plug-ins into their own separate process (plugin-container.exe). Unfortunately Mozilla's development process doesn't really allow outsiders to follow along because it's so bug/mailinglist-centric, so it's hard to track the progress. That's not quite what Electrolysis is (although it is necessarily a part of Electrolysis, it can be done completely independently of it, and they have been making some progress on it over time). As far as Electrolysis progress, you can get a vague idea from the Electrolysis tracking bug. Obviously, it's far enough along that it Fennec has been using it for some time; from what I can gather I think the main obstacles for the desktop now are all of the desktop-related UI stuff, and add-on compatibility (a large number of add-ons will need potentially significant changes to be compatible with Electrolysis).

On that note, I really wish Mozilla would find some way to deal with their Netscape-era development practices that make the project so horribly inefficient. They KNOW that Bugzilla is a black hole where filed bugs will never be looked at by anyone and where patches languish years waiting for reviews, yet all they seem to do about it is schedule bug days to sprint through a portion of the backlog, and they often still have more bugs at the end of the bug day than at the start. I see plenty of posts on Planet Mozilla from people recognizing the nearly insurmountable barriers to becoming a Firefox contributor, and they have a contributor engagement team, but things seem to keep getting worse with time.
