I take it back, here it is:

However it's still buggy and I'm getting burnt out on it so I am totally open to people forking it to add more.

I would like to make a dark version after this one is complete.

A cache-related patch on June 28th was broken as poo poo, it was backed out on the 29th so I think builds from the 30th and on should be fine. If you still have crashes, you might try disabling the new cache backend via about :config at browser.cache.use_new_backend_temp to false.

Any idea why my Firefox ESR crashes on Windows 8.1 whenever I change resolution (due to a game launching or me turning on my connected HDTV)?

Make sure you have the latest graphics drivers. If an AMD card, use the latest Beta drivers.

Does anyone know a good extension for replacing individual images on a site?

Quoting myself because I found the answer in Yahoo Answers (of all places)

code:

// ==UserScript==
// @name        Replace Annoying Avatars

// @namespace   http://*

// @description Replace Annoying Avatars

// @include       http://*
// ==/UserScript==


var images = document.getElementsByTagName ("img");
var x=0;
while(x<images.length)
{
if(images[x].src == "ORIGINAL IMAGE")
{
images[x].src = "REPACEMENT IMAGE";
}
x=x+1;
}

Hooray for not having to think for myself :hf:

Nice, you've made SA look like a brain-melting modern Google website where everything is grey and white, and there are zero borders or lines to separate neither content nor controls. I can't believe someone would willingly do that. :monocle:

Oh god this, this is driving me crazy and I'm pretty sure it only just recently started to happen. Maybe an addon updated did this?

Using the above link as an example http://pastebin.com/DkEa3Uwa before you were able to highlight a part of the link like 'pastebin' then right click > search Google and it would act as if you just typed 'pastebin' in the Google search, now no matter how you highlight a link it will always search the link in full such as 'http://pastebin.com/DkEa3Uwa' in Google.

Malloc Voidstar: May 7, 2007; Fuck the cowboys. Unf. Fuck em hard.

An AMD driver update somehow opened an ancient beta version of Firefox on my machine instead of the current version of Firefox. Which means an ancient beta version poked at my profile. Now text rendering is sometimes hosed up in weird ways. Is there any way of fixing this short of resetting Firefox and reinstalling all my addons?

edit for an example

Popup text immediately after being displayed:

Popup text shortly afterward:

edit: Restarted Firefox for the third time since this happened and now text is normal. The first restart fixed Australis, the second fixed nothing, the third fixed text. Hopefully the fourth doesn't break anything.

To anyone running the YouTube Center Greasemonkey addon - it's now an extension in its own right.

Also, it no longer works as a Greasemonkey script. You can still play YouTube videos if they're embedded elsewhere, but if you try to play them on YouTube itself, you'll just see a black box where the video should be.

Also, also, the import settings button in the extension doesn't work for poo poo and won't recognize the old script's settings. So be prepared to either take a lot of notes or take a lot of screenshots if you want to keep your settings.

Well while people are fixing SA related things, can anyone re-port this to Greasemonkey from scriptish?

code:

// ==UserScript==
// @id             jerkikosnewtabs
// @name           jerkikosnewtabs
// @version        1.0
// @namespace      
// @author         
// @description    
// @include        http://forums.somethingawful.com/*
// @run-at         document-end
// ==/UserScript==

var forum = document.getElementById("forum");
if (forum)
{	
	var button = document.createElement("a");
	button.href = "#";
	button.innerHTML = "Open New Posts in New Tabs";
	button.style.cssFloat = "right";
	button.style.marginRight = "8px";
	button.addEventListener("click", NewPostsInNewTabs, false);

	var where = document.evaluate("THEAD/TR/TH[contains(@class,'title')]",
			forum, null, 7, null);
	where = where.snapshotItem(0);
	if (where)
	{
		where.insertBefore(button,where.firstChild);
	}
}

function NewPostsInNewTabs(event)
{
	var eval, node, name;
	event.preventDefault();
	eval = document.evaluate("TBODY/TR/TD/DIV/DIV/A[contains(@class,'count')]",
			document.getElementById("forum"), null, 7, null);
	OpenTabLoop(eval);

	return;
}

var i =0;
function OpenTabLoop(eval){
	if (i < eval.snapshotLength){
		setTimeout(function(){		
			node = eval.snapshotItem(i);
			name = node.parentNode.nextSibling.nextSibling.childNodes[1].innerHTML;
			i++;
			OpenTabLoop(eval);
			GM_openInTab(node,name);
			
		},(i*3)+250);
	}

}

The purpose of the script is to add an "Open New Posts in New Tabs" link to the top of forum views and the user control panel/bookmarks, which then iterates through and opens each thread with new posts in a new tab. It was working as-is in Scriptish 0.1.11 which was originally Greasemonkey forked to work in Firefox 4+; but now Scriptish has gone kinda dead so I'm switching back to Greasemonkey to use other scripts.

Right now, in current Greasemonkey, it successfully places the "Open New Posts in New Tabs" link where it's supposed to be, but clicking won't do anything; I imagine it's because there's some syntax changes between Scriptish and Greasemonkey.

The YouTube Center extension is made by the same person who makes the YouTube Center Greasemonkey script. They look and work exactly the same. Once running you can't tell them apart.

It's just that you need to manually import your settings over from the script to the extension.

I took about 20 screenshots, one of each tab for the script. Then I uninstalled the script and installed the extension and changed all the settings to the same as I had before. Only took a couple of minutes and it's definitely worth it. I don't think I could use YouTube anymore without YouTube Center.

Yahoo seems to have infiltrated by browser somehow. Usually when I drag text from wherever into the address bar, it makes an automatic google search. However now it's a Yahoo search and I don't know what I could have installed to make this happen. I checked Add-ons and Extensions and my control panel shows nothing installed over the last few days that could account for it. Anyone else had this happen?

To be fair, those are replacing individual context menu items that already existed for each of those actions (which I admittedly didn't use, either). I assume that you could hide them by editing userChrome.css, if nothing else. The IDs might even be the same as before.

Surely these actually take up LESS space than the previous context menu items..
You have an area 1924 pixels vs 5104 pixels in the old menu to "accidentally bookmark" a page.

It makes the menu more compact, and uses familiar icons from the rest of the UI.
