Ihmemies posted:22 released. Is there some way to disable: Set layout.css.devPixelsPerPx to 1.0 instead of -1.0 in about :config. Or better, check if you didn't set page zoom different from the default. The fix makes pages display in what should normally be the right size. If you fiddled with this before, because old versions didn't do it right, it'll now blow out in the opposite direction.

Alereon posted:I think votes are ineffective for changing developers' minds, which is what Slashdot tries to use it for. Voting for bugs may still have value when you're hoping that particular bugs will be fixed sooner than others. Well, hardly. As pointed out the problem is that votes are easy to manipulate, and tend to be stale, i.e. people may have votes on bugs that are long fixed. That said, this bug sounds like it hits a big part of the userbase, and the reporter is a developer, so the odds that it will get fixed are quite good.

Anyone know how I can tell FF to reload a thread at the exact position I'm currently looking at? It keeps jumping back to the post that was previously the last one.

That's the forums' fault, since it's explicitly telling Firefox to scroll to a particular anchor. If you're just navigating by page instead of going to the last unread post (i.e. the URL has no fragment id - the thing with the #), then you'll get what you want.

Where the gently caress did my bookmarks button go? EDIT: they removed the bookmarks button, and merged it with a button I didn't have on my setup, so when it updated POOF it was gone. AlmightyBob fucked around with this message at 21:08 on Jun 28, 2013 |

Who the gently caress designed the sync feature? I reinstalled my Windows and browsers. On Opera, I have to delete all the preinstalled bookmarks and speed dial entries (so that they will not be synced on other devices, which is frankly bullshit), but after that I just use my username and password and it will download my bookmarks and speed dials and passwords and whatever. In Chrome, the same thing. Sign in using my username and password, get bookmarks (and extensions and some other stuff) On Firefox my options are to input some giant string into some other device, or (since i have no "other device") to sign in using my username and password. Except if i don't also know some mysterious string (and I don't), it will delete all my data.  I guess I'm plugging my old failing hard drive back and getting my bookmarks and settings back that way, like a god drat savage.

Okay, FF23 is just really unreasonably fast. I've tended to use it in spite of its performance, and not because of it, but this is blowing Chrome out of the water on this machine. I don't remember a browser feeling this snappy compared to other browsers on my machine since the first time I tried Opera 6.

The dedicated search field keeps your last search around for future editing, remembers and autocompletes your past search queries, lets you switch search engines on demand and fetches suggestions from the search engine automatically.

So I'm told that Youtube changed something with their videos and now I'm no longer able to right click on them > stop, to stop them, the only way I know now to stop them is to either close/reopen the tab I'm on or refresh the page, anyone have a better solution then this?

You just want it to stop downloading? When I hit pause, it automatically stops downloading ahead (and resumes downloading on play). HTML5, if it matters. If you must have it play up to a point but also not let it download anything past that point, you're out of luck but that's a pretty niche circumstance isn't it?

So I whinged a little about how I thought FF 21 was losing the ability to restore sessions. I switched to Chrome for a week or so, which is quite horrid for rendering .gifs and then just this afternoon updated to 22. But anyway after a heat related crash I got my tabs back and it's acting properly. I don't know what if anything was the problem with 21 but it not only couldn't remember my tabs after a crash I had to log back in to everything as well. Very peculiar but I'm glad it's working normally now. tl;dr Firefox 21 was utter garbage that almost put me off it, chrome sucks enough that I gave it another shot

As pointed out, the advantage is that no-one, including Mozilla, or the government, can read the data. There is some effort under way to replace this by something that's closer to what users expect (codename PiCl, Profile In The Cloud). Strong cryptography protects your privacy, but if you don't particularly care then it's just a burden compared to the normal "username and password" system.

Well, good news, of all the browser sync methods, Firefox Sync is the only one that lets you run your own server. (Sync still isn't designed for backups, don't use it for that without keeping a copy of your recovery key.)

Is there any way to stop Firefox from dynamically refreshing when you scroll down a page? It's happened for the past couple of versions but I thought it was due to new mouse software I was using. For those who don't get what I'm saying, lets say you are on Facebook and scrolling down, at some point it will refresh the feed and you will lose track of where you are on the page because there's new content on top and it's pushed everything down more. It's not just Facebook, I've seen it on The Verge, Techcrunch and every page that dynamically refreshes.

I'm glad I'm not the only person left that prefers having the option of a seperate search field. I hope the browser's configuration allows an extension to enable one after Australis is released in a couple versions. I seriously don't understand the advantages of an omnibar considering that you can search directly from the main address as well if you prefer.

"Please enter an encryption key that has at least 256 bits of (random) entropy." I don't think adding such an option is a good plan. To get an idea, here's a page that estimates the strength of user-chosen keys: http://rumkin.com/tools/password/passchk.php Passwords are really beyond terrible at securing things.
