dpbjinc posted:For those of us who actually want that behavior, it doesn't work either, since it enables every Flash plugin on the entire site. And then keeps it on, which is annoying as hell. I only want to enable it for the current instance of that webpage I have open, not for every future time I happen to open a page. This would annoy me a whole lot less if videos weren't so obsessed with autoplaying themselves when on background tabs.

What's the about:config preference which makes the address bar search the default search (rather than the search engine selected)?

I don't know why this poo poo has gone through so many UX iterations - the first implementation was the best choice by far.

The first implementation doesn't exactly work for people who have no idea what a plugin is or why they'd want to enable one, especially hidden Flash instances that are controlled by JavaScript.

Pretty much this. Mozilla did a bunch of user research and found that the UI was just confusing a large number of people. Software kinda has to cater to the stupids since, unlike the smart people, they don't know enough to find and install add-ons to get the interface they want (if they even know what they want).

That's fine, but they broke the about :config switch to turn off the new GUI & notification for smart people. As is, I can't use the feature at all and have to still rely on flashblock. Which has options, a whitelist, and doesn't pop-up a nag message on every page.

How much time is being spent on designing a product for the people who aren't using it, when they could be designing it for the people who still are? How low do the numbers have to get before someone at Mozilla decides to just say gently caress it and do to the desktop version of Firefox what they did to Thunderbird?

xamphear posted:Are there really that many "stupids" still using Firefox? Unless you're hooked on add-ons, you're probably using Chrome or IE. Mozilla seems to think it's still 2009 where they had a full third of the desktop market and were still on the rise. Instead it's been a steady decline since 2010 and now they're down to something like 17%. They need to win those users back. Their business model isn't to cater to power or smart users. It's to cater to as many users as possible, even those that don't even know what add-ons are. Those google searches aren't generating themselves.

Got a weird, annoying little hassle with Aurora 27a2 (32 bit) on Windows 7 64-bit. For the last week or so, Aurora throws an error about a non-responsive process when I try to open a link from another application-- mIRC, Steam, whatever. That is, unless I start Aurora by clicking on one of those links, after which everything is hunky dory. Is there a way to fix this, or is it just an unfortunate, temporary side-effect of using the not-quite nightlies? The workaround isn't hugely onerous, but it is kind of annoying.

Some forum posters over at mozillazine and I guess me too may have jumped the gun early on whether Dnubs is actually malicious or not, it might not be, the code is all obfuscated but it's being reviews, I'd still wait until it officially gets a page of its own and a few hundred downloads with good reviews first though.

The original developer of DownloadStatusBar says that DNubs doesn't contain the malware that the other poster claimed - http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=13246697#p13246697 It's apparently still under review by Mozilla. So it may not necessarily be malware; right now I don't think it's clear if it is or not.

I've been having an issue on 3 computers upon upgrading to Firefox 26, where a background window would suddenly take focus for seemingly no reason. For instance, for my job, I'd have a window in the back with our site inventory, and another window in the front to compare that inventory with Amazon, and the work window in back would suddenly take focus and pop in front. Happened the other way around as well, and on 2 XP machines + my Win 8.1 laptop. Anyone else encounter this? e: It's also been happening with my downloads window, and the browser window. The downloads window took focus and popped in front of the browser window seemingly at random (the download didn't finish, didn't stall, it was at ~50% completion).

GrizzlyCow posted:So has any brave soul taken up the mantel and continued Tabs Utilities (Lite) by any chance? Or Load Tabs Progressively/Reload Tabs Progressively? Load Tabs Progressively works, but you have to downgrade to version 0.9.9 and turn off compatibility checking. I believe that was all there was to it, and that you don't have to change the version number inside the xpi, but I could be mistaken.

I've got a trivial problem that still manages to irritate me, when I select cells in a graph and tab out and back, those cells are no longer selected. The text is highlighted instead. Like this:  And if I leave the tab and then return:  It never used to do this is the other versions and I really don't know why they would change it. I would really appreciate it if anyone knew of a way to make Firefox stop deselecting the cells.

FRINGE posted:No one likes relearning UI. Its a complete waste of time when its still just a browser. Im one of the last holdouts at work using FF. If you prefer a slower pace of UI updates, you can use the ESR releases. While they're designed for enterprises, there's nothing stopping end users from using them. I haven't found it difficult to relearn anything in Firefox (although I run nightlies on one machine, so I usually know what changes are due on the release branch), and if anything, I use fewer add-ons than I used to, since Firefox has fixed a lot of the issues I had. Case in point: I stopped using Download Status Bar once the new download manager came to Firefox, since that was close enough to what I wanted that I saw no point in an add-on anymore.
