This is a powerful feature and they should have PR'ed it instead of dropping it.

FRINGE posted:This is a powerful feature and they should have PR'ed it instead of dropping it. I don't think it would have made a difference in use however since it's only is useful to power users who like to have things like 25 tabs open and such, which most people don't. To the average user, it's kind of like Win+Tab in Vista and 7, nice to show off, but quickly forgotten. This brings up a dammed if you do/don't situation though. There's still a lot of people who love to call Firefox bloated because of whatever new feature that's added that they don't care for, but they also don't hold back on blasting them for dropping features that no one uses. I do agree that they need to make it more clear that the feature is now a plugin but I still tend to think that still won't quiet the fans of the feature.

Amazingly just one of my, uh, 70 extensions has broken since I started with version 20. tabcloud can't save tabs anymore in firefox 22. Seeing as it hasn't been updated since 2011, I'm in the market for an alternative. Anyone know of any other extensions that let you sync open tab sessions between different devices?

Alereon posted:Does the Firefox Sync that's built into the browser do what you want? It allows you to synch tabs between devices. Not quite. I'm trying to sync multiple separate sessions of tabs so that they can be accessed later. The Session Manager extension lets me back up sessions to my local machine, but provides no means by which to sync them between machines. I might be able to rig something up with dropbox, though, come to think of it... Gerudo Rivera fucked around with this message at 19:17 on Jul 11, 2013 |

When I access a webpage and zoom in on content, if I leave the page and return in the same browsing session, the page is still zoomed in. How do I stop Firefox from storing the zoom data so a page will always start on the default zoom level, without needing to manually reset the zoom every time?

Alereon posted:That's what your open tabs are, the subset of your most recent history that has not been closed. It sounds like you're expecting all of your devices to share a tab bar, which sounds cool on the face until you think through the implications. What if you have multiple browser windows open? What if you close a tab on another device, do you lose data in the tab on this device? Do you really want your porn tab you left open at home to pull up on your other devices? None of these are insurmountable challenges but they do mean that it can't "just work" the way it sounds like you were hoping because the browser can't know what the "right thing" to do in a given situation is for you. Yeah, Tabcloud was pretty much the ideal implementation of this. Saving tab groups as discrete sessions for later, selective access is the way to go. Fortunately it looks like Session Manager allows for changing the session save directory, so you can just point it to the same dropbox folder on both devices and be on your way

Not sure if this a bug or not but I opened a webpage with ~1000 pics which caused Firefox's memory usage to go from ~500MB to ~7GBs (yes that's GB). The same page on Chrome is only about ~1GBs. I'm on Mac OS 10.8.3 if that makes a difference. Anyone else seen this? Is it normal?

How about that. I never even knew about panoram and I've been using FF for ages, since ~version 2 or so. That being said, it seems fairly pointless and I regularly have up to 20 tabs open at a given time. I will say it looks like a good idea, albeit one I don't personally find all that necessary but definitely looks like others would use a lot.

Since updating to FF22, the "Undo Close Tab" and "Recently Closed Tabs" menu are disabled. Before I start digging through my many addons for a possible culprit, has this happened to anyone else?

This puzzles me, since I don't know what may have changed; I had checked when the issue appeared and I wasn't in private mode, which is the only thing I can think of. Oh well.

That is due to a MemShrink bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=845147 They are working on making decoded images get cleared out of memory when the user no longer has those images visible. The patch was supposed to land in FF22 but they found regressions with scrolling performance and many small images. It has since been fixed and targeted to FF24. Once 24 comes out you should no longer see this massive increase in memory with image heavy pages.

Alereon posted:Firefox's customizability advantage over Chrome doesn't come from having an Options menu full of page after page of confusing settings nobody uses, it comes from the extensibility that add-ons offer. This change wasn't made because some UX designer decided it was the right way, it was made because there are significantly more people who toggled it, saw their browser break, then complained/contacted support than there were people who actually used the feature. There were also some technical reasons why preventing hiding of the tab bar can simplify things and improve performance, and the overall goal of having fewer settings (by eliminating the ones telemetry shows aren't used). As I've said before in this thread: Perhaps only a few percent used that Panorama thing, so let's say you're pissing off 2% of the userbase by removing it. Now continue to remove 50 other "niche" features, and suddenly every single user is pissed off to some degree.

People complain about how bloated Microsoft Word has become for just a simple word processor. Though once upon a time I came across someone from Microsoft who pointed out that while 80% of Word's users only use 20% of the program, that 20% is different for each user. Beyond a couple of really common things ("Paste", as I recall, being the most-used feature), everyone does different things. I suspect that sort of thing is similar in a browser market.

An oldie... font issues in Firefox. I think it's Google's fonts - they look wonky.  I have ClearType disabled on Windows. Fonts look the same in Chrome. They look fine in IE, which I believe forces ClearType on. I've tried all sorts of fiddling with hardware acceleration and such to no avail.

Your fonts aren't being smoothed because you disabled it. What's the problem? Edit: I mean, aside from the limitations of ClearType that drove you to disable it in the first place, of course, and the inability to selectively enable it for the fonts that depend on sub-pixel position to look remotely decent.
