Turhis posted:Firefox updated to 23 and it seems that plugins.click_to_play doesn't work anymore or did they change something and didn't bother telling about it? It's still not improved from the constant nagging behaviour it had when first introduced, so I'm staying with Flashblock for the forseeable future. What I mean is; every time I go to a new page, I get the big "Do you want to activate plugins?" popup coming from my addressbar. I never want flash to run automatically, but want to be able to run it on any site as needed. There's no option for that, so I get nagged every time. Meanwhile, Chrome's built-in equivalent works fine (exactly like flashblock).

My understanding with that is that they changed it back, along with re-enabling javascript because too many people were enabling it and then complaining that nothing worked.

I haven't seen that popup in ages, All I got is that icon in address bar where I can change the per site options for flash and If I haven't enabled it for particular site every flash element has a click here to play thing.

Mozilla again postpones Firefox third-party cookie-blocking, this time for months I was expecting this to land in 23, but when I got 23 yesterday, I noticed 3rd party cookies were still enabled, so I searched around and found this article. I'm kinda peeved about this. I was pretty excited for Mozilla to implement this. Safari has done it since day 1 without issue, and I know plenty of people that don't have any problems with it. What do you guys think?

I've been blocking third party cookies for a couple years now. At first, it broke quite a few things, but these days almost nothing seems to be adversely affected by it.

Mozilla's goal is to block more than Safari* without having Apple's "just turn it off if stuff stops working" fallback, and it turns out that's a hard problem to solve. * Safari allows third-party cookies providing they were originally given to you as a first-party cookie, which means if you ever visit facebook.com, Facebook is suddenly and unconditionally allowed to spy on everything you ever do on the Internet. Plus, their third-party cookie blocking is really easy to workaround and literally every ad network does this automatically.

This is why I just have it prompt me for every cookie that a site attempts to set. If 30 prompts fly up when I click a link, it's time to mash Deny and find somewhere else to get whatever information I was looking for.

I was really hoping they'd make it the default, though. I like the precedent that sets. But I understand that there are certain circumstances where it'll break things for the regular user.

Anyone still have Mouse Gestures Redox (ver 3.2pre.20120202) xpi? I'm on a new PC now and it looks like the site itself is closed for good. It's still my favorite gestures extension even if it's a bit outdated nowadays so hoping one of you is still using it as well. Edit: Never mind, found it. Had to search the actual file name to get it. halokiller fucked around with this message at 05:53 on Aug 10, 2013 |

I am having a problem with all keyboard and mouse input locking up on my computer (Windows 7 64bit) that from what I have tested so far makes me think Firefox could be the culprit. I just updated to 23.0 from 22.0, this is on a fairly new (week old) install of windows onto a clean HD etc etc. I am about to test this theory by using Chrome for a while but does anyone have any Firefox specific troubleshooting tips? edit: Add-ons I'm currently running- ABP 2.3.2 Greasemonkey 1.11 HTTPS Finder 0.85 Imgur Uploader 1.0.6 NoScript 2.6.7 Search By Image (by Google) 1.1.2 Xmarks 4.2.3 tangy yet delightful fucked around with this message at 05:17 on Aug 12, 2013 |

How do I always allow mixed content (http/https) for a whole domain rather than just a specific page? I do dev work where the parent frame is https with an iframe that goes my my http localhost app server.

So, Firefox populates the site list in the permissions manager (about:permissions) from your browser history, which apparently presents a problem when you don't have 'remember browsing history' turned on. Is there some way to manually add sites to that list, maybe outside of Firefox?

about:permissions is just a different interface to the permissions tab in the Page Info dialog, and the permissions data is stored in a completely different database, so I don't see how disabling your history would matter

Is anyone else having problems with periodic crashes on 23.0? It always seems to happen when I'm away from my computer so I don't know what it's doing before it crashes. The only extensions that have updated recently are Ghostery and FireGestures. But then I also updated both my GPU drivers and Flash recently. Should I just try a new profile or something?

Reith posted:Is anyone else having problems with periodic crashes on 23.0? I've crashed like 4 times since I updated aurora today. It's never when I'm using firefox either but rather when I come back to my pc after doing other stuff. I just updated Ghostery as well so maybe it's that.

Looks like I'll have to uninstall it for now. Firefox is using over a gig of RAM right now when it usually uses a third of that at most. If anyone else runs into this problem, I'd recommend installing Disconnect instead. Reith fucked around with this message at 08:03 on Aug 14, 2013 |

I have random crazy FPS drops while playing video games, but I'm not exactly sure what causes it. I thought it's the flash plugin, but maybe it's Ghostery? Well I've disabled it for now.

Since we are on Ghostery talk, in the options for Ghostery there is that Performance section, I am wondering if those are redundant to have checked for someone who also runs NoScript + Adblock Plus + Better Privacy? Performance Options Scan and block images Scan and block iframes Scan and block embed and object tags Look for and prevent redirection Delete Flash and Silverlight cookies on exit I personally keep them all unchecked because I think they are just redundant and cause unnecessary performance loss, am I right in my thinking?

[Edit] Download Statusbar was causing this. Urgh, I really like that extension, but it's so annoying I have to keep it disabled for now I guess. [Edit2] OK maybe not just that? Turning Ghostery back on (I just disabled that first, then DLS, while testing) and it's back, but not all the time. Did a bunch of backend changes just break the poo poo out of extensions or something? The Save dialog just completely ignores all keyboard input entirely. [Edit3] It's actually Ghostery, and only Ghostery, as far as I can tell. I also have Adblock installed. I guess it's related to whatever bug was mentioned earlier. Is anyone else experiencing a REALLY annoying problem where Firefox refuses to respect the Enter key when saving images? If I right click -> Save As and type a filename, then press Enter, it does nothing; just highlights the name I entered. I've had this bug before, but it would eventually save if I pushed Enter a few times. Now it never does it, no matter how many times I try; I have to click the actual Save button. Also, the Escape key used to work to cancel the Save dialog, but now it does nothing. Buff Skeleton fucked around with this message at 21:56 on Aug 14, 2013 |

I've been having trouble with Aurora apparently causing transient hangs over the last several weeks, and this time things got hairy enough that it forced a reboot and didn't leave a crash dump. I know in my case it's not Ghostery, because I haven't used it in months. I do use Adblockplus and Noscript though, which I figured were probably getting into a fight over what to filter and how. Weird thing is, about the time my system bounced, it did log an error about Microsoft Security Essentials failing to update... and similar errors litter my event log. Poking Google brings up results suggesting that MSSE issues can cause hangs and reboots, and reports of it and firefox behaving badly together, but those hits are a few years old. gently caress if I know if they might be related, but I'm going to start checking the event log each time I recover from one of these hangs.

That was the first thing I checked, but the Intel diagnostics software said the SSD was fine, and Crystaldiskinfo said the same for the platter drives I've got in there with it. If things go screwy again, I'll definitely visit the Haus. I appreciate the suggestion, thanks.

Alereon posted:That sounds more like you have a problem with your system storage device becoming unavailable. I would agree on this but I'll point out that out of the four plus times I've run into the problem, only once has the drive itself been the problem (that one was an OCZ SSD  ) - usually, it's the disk controller. If you've got your drives plugged into a Marvell controller, don't. Otherwise, if you can identify the disk that's hanging, try a different port.
