xamphear posted:This is an availability heuristic. It's not that these addons are more problematic, per se, it's just that are hugely popular. So, of course they are going to turn up most often when people post issues in a forum. It doesn't mean that they are inherently worse for your browsing experience than smaller ones, in fact they might even be marginally better given their larger install base and programming effort. You're making assumptions here that aren't really true, if you look at the posts by the Chrome dev he explains exactly why those addons cause the problems he's talking about. He's not just saying "most of the problems we see involve users with these addons". Did anything come of this?

Is there anyway to edit the places.sqlite file outside of Firefox? I'm trying to remove several thousand spurious history entries for a site but don't want to remove all history for the site, and the history viewer in Firefox itself grinds to a halt doing it. I tried using SQlite Database Browser 2.0b1 but it doesn't load anything, possibly because the file is too big.

Have the forums been weird for anyone else over the last few days with the newest Firefox? Stuff like the reply/post buttons being in the wrong place, the vote-thread images being just numbers in a vertical line for some reason, the tags filter being displayed instead of hidden by default, the usual quote boxes just being a couple of lines above and below, and really everything being really close together and weird like there's a problem with table margins somewhere or the pages aren't loading properly. Everything's fine in Chrome but I still like Firefox more, just wondering if this is just me. VVV Just me I guess, cheers man. Pierson fucked around with this message at 14:41 on May 21, 2014 |

The new favorite button is so terrible. You can't even tell what you're favoriting or where you're favoriting it to.

It's just a terrible choice. I still don't know how to favorite a website without adding it to the unsorted category and then manually moving it.

There was a time when you had to go into a menu to add a bookmark, so people would see the 1997-vintage shortcut key for it. Now, finding the search bar shortcut was less common...

I've gone into settings and every time it either doesn't remember it and reverts or goes ahead and shows annotations anyway. Not sure, but I think the yousable (usable?) youtube extension (greasemonkey script?) lets you do that, along with plenty of other handy things like turning off comments, defaulting to higher quality while only mildly or occasionally totally breaking your youtube experience.

What are the actual steps for syncing my tabs to a mobile device? It's happened seemingly entirely on it's own a few times but when, say, I'm reading something on my desktop then need to leave and want to take them with me on my mobile, using Sync Now doesn't do squat. This is going from desktop to a Nexus 4. Is Chrome just better for that kind of thing?

This might be more of a general question but... Anyone have an idea on how to control scrolling the webpage based on a more variable input? I've been enjoying using a PS3 controller over bluetooth paired to my PC for light browsing from my couch. I'm sure there's a more functional solution out there but it works quite well- at least compared to using my phone's lovely touchscreen mouse app, if anyone has a similar setup do yourself a favor and try the controller instead. I'm trying to figure out if there's a way to make scrolling take advantage of the controller's variable inputs on the joystick. I have mouse wheel up/down bound to one of them but it's quite clunky and a handful of smooth scrolling apps I just tried all didn't feel right. They were smoother obviously but it's still not really progressive enough. The other d-pad moves the mouse pointer all gracefully smoothly and it's great. Any ideas?

Is there a way to make FF antialias text? I have cleartype/antialiasing disabled on Windows because I think it looks awful. Chrome and IE have their own antialiasing. It's becoming a greater annoyance as more and more websites use those google fonts that looks completely whack without antialiasing.

Has anyone found any workarounds for the Text Inflation bug for FF on Android? I've tried changing font sizes and tweaking some about :config settings, but no dice. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707195 This happens when I browse the SA Forums as well as some other forums. Using Nexus 4, 4.4.3 with FF 29.0.1.
