Is there any way to stop Facebook bringing Firefox to its knees, popping up the "script taking too long to run" error and generally making the whole browser unresponsive. I can restart the browser and get another half hour, or restart it and then not go on facebook, but I shouldn't have to do that. Tried manually making a new profile, tried waterfox and that taz009 build, in addition to vanilla firefox, makes no difference. Annoying thing is FB works fine on firefox for android!

Nintendo Kid posted:Is Firefox 38 going to have the official 64 bit release builds or is that only for the beta/"developer" preview again? A couple months ago, 38 was supposed to be the first 64-bit stable for Windows, but I'm not sure if that's changed.

Which extensions do you have? I used to get this, but switching from ABP to uBlock stopped this issue entirely. It wasn't an issue of hardware for me - I have an i7 3770K.

What are some good add-ons for the mobile app? uBlock apparently works, which is great, but otherwise I'm drawing a blank.

I don't have the mobile app yet (iPhone), but from what I've read, don't pile on extensions. The limited computing power on today's phones starts to noticeably struggle with just a handful of extensions.

Adding https.https://www.youtube.com to the "included" pages did the trick for getting the cog to show up (even though the included by default pages have http*, which should probably include https? weird). Anyways... the "video resumer" doesn't seem to work either

Toast Museum posted:What are some good add-ons for the mobile app? uBlock apparently works, which is great, but otherwise I'm drawing a blank. On mobile I only use 2 extensions: AdBlock and HTTPS Everywhere. I use HTTPS Everywhere (which redirects non-secure HTTP requests to HTTPS when the server supports it) for extra privacy and ensure that my connection hasn't been tampered with (like Verizon does (did?) by injecting an extra unique identifier into all non-secure web requests). Now that uBlock works on mobile I'll probably switch over. Mr.Radar fucked around with this message at 18:37 on May 12, 2015 |

Sorry about that. Apparently YouTube's move to HTML5 broke Video Resumer. If it is any consolation, I found how to work YouTube's built-in resume functionality. You need to be signed in, the video needs to be at least 20 minutes, and you must have progressed past the 1 minute mark. After that, you can even restart your computer, and YouTube will resume where you left if you meet the above requirements.

I don't think it affects browser extensions, but FYI Google shut down the Youtube API v2 last week to replace it with the more secure API v3, that among other things prevents downloading of videos. This would be expected to break non-browser apps that haven't been updated.

Here's the extensions. I have the same set of extensions on two machines, and only one of them has the issue. Both have new manually created profiles. I probably should have mentioned that in the original post. The machine that doesn't have problems is an i7 920 @ 3.8GHz with 2x ATI6970 in crossfire, 12GB RAM and an 80GB Intel X-25M SSD. The machine that does have the problem is a Clevo W170HR laptop with a 2.6GHz i5, nVidia 555M optimus + Intel HD3000, 4GB RAM and a 250GB Intel 330 SSD. Not sure I want to switch from ABP if possible as I've done a lot custom element hiding stuff for an unrelated forum that has a lot of obnoxious gifs all over the place.

Same with Text Link... Anyways, you can pretty much just import your filters, including custom element hiding ones, into uBlock. And since they're both no-restart plugins, you can just temporarily run them side by side to migrate things and then do tests easily enough by switching ABP off and refreshing a page. I don't use facebook, but you could also consider trying to block the one script that's loving up.

Geemer posted:Same with Text Link... oooh, in that case I might give it a go. With FB, if you abort the script it's complaining about then half the links stop working, e.g. the edit button and the view comments button. Edit: I assume I have to cut+paste from adblockplus.ini into the My Filters tab of the ublock control panel. Some of them work, some don't, and the block element feature seems to be a bit hit and miss too. Does feel faster though. Not tried it on the laptop yet. Edit: Still running like crap on the laptop.

Re Firefox on Android: I don't recommend running as blocking extensions in the browser. Performance is much better using the AdAway root app (mods your host file) and it works well enough, plus its system wide. I do use the lastpass extension on mobile, as the Android lastpass app still doesn't auto fill in Firefox last time I checked. I run nightly on mobile for a few tasty new features, most importantly: Background tab opening! Added a few weeks ago, there's an option to turn it on in FF, then any link you open in browser from any app will queue to open next time you switch to the browser. A toast message gives you the option to open immediately. Great stuff.

So, is there a fix for this poo poo where Firefox can't load pages with lots of pictures, I can't browse PYF gifs/imgur albums (even the ones with static pictures if they are big) for example, loads maybe 3 gifs from one page and after that its just blank, other tabs lose their pictures too until I leave the page with loads of pictures.

What I read said 39, as in the one on the development channel or whatever, the one maybe scheduled for regular release in june, I don't know the right nomenclature for these things. 38 was supposedly still affected. I'm just repeating what one guy said. For me this just means I'll be waiting this out, I'm not seeing the thing all too often.

Yeah, you can literally just copy+paste rules from ABP into uBlock and they'll all work without modification.

Knormal posted:What does Konquefox do exactly? I'm a KDE user, but their addon page doesn't really mention anything that sounds like any kind of KDE integration. It sounds like it just adds some toolbar buttons. It adds the up button and the clear address bar buttons from Konqueror.

Where do you copy from? I ended up having to copy them from the .ini file that you get when saving settings, and only some of them work. I tended to use the "block image" facility a lot, e.g. pictures of gross skin conditions or parasites on wikipedia, or people whose forum avatar is a picture of their dick on fetlife, and these didn't seem to work.

In the ABP Filter Preferences window. Pick the "Element Hiding Rules" filters on the left, select-all in the list on the right, then Copy under "Filter Actions"

uBlock doesn't support the document specifier in ABP filter syntax. Are your custom filters using that? https://github.com/chrisaljoudi/uBlock/wiki/Filter-syntax-extensions

Geemer posted:I've got that too, but instead of after hibernation (I hardly put my computer in hibernation) I get it sometimes intermittently when switching tabs, especially if it's a lot of tabs of images. I've been seeing this kind of thing more and more here lately too, and just now firefox hung up and i got a video driver recovery balloon after a minute or two. My (ATI) drivers are on the beta channel from April or early May thanks to trying to resolve it a week or two ago. About to let Firefox update to 38.0.5 beta to see if there's any difference.

I just updated by downloading the stub installer from their download page, which applied the 38 update. E: God drat it, they changed something so that in Firefox 38 middle-clicking the last tab doesn't do anything, nor does clicking the X on the tab.
