Can anyone get the video on this page to play? I tried restarting with add-ons disabled, but I still just get a black box. Same result on Chrome, even.

Yeah, I tried the "download video" link, and that's where it sent me. Which worked pretty well, except for about halfway through the video stopped playing, but the audio continued. Scrubbed a bit and it was fine.

My Sync hasn't been working on one of my computers for the last ~24-48 hours (that I've noticed). It just says "Sync encountered an error while syncing: Unknown error. Sync will automatically retry this action." Hitting "Sync Now" pops up the same error bar after all of about one second. The extent of my troubleshooting so far has been to logout and log back into my sync account (yeah, I'm using the new sync, not the old one) on this system and that hasn't changed anything. And the Firefox sync troubleshooting page doesn't seem to have anything pertinent. Anyone have any tips to try to figure out what's up? This is FF 40.0.3 on Win10 Pro. As far as I can tell sync is still working just fine on my Ubuntu 14.04 laptop (same FF version, I'm pretty sure). At least, I haven't been told it can't sync. Edit: And, at least, refreshing Firefox seems to not have fixed it, either. fourwood fucked around with this message at 20:55 on Sep 9, 2015 |

If anyone hasn't tried the Clean Links addon, you really need to try. It basically re-writes google/fb/whatever links that go to a tracking page then redirect to the real page, and has them go direct to the real page. Even if you're not a member of the tinfoil hat crew, everything just feels so much smoother than previously, also google shopping links work now, for the first time in years.

It pisses me to now end how I see "Link: yadayada.com" in status bar, then I copy it to paste it to someone and it turns into a long sausage of garbage. It really is bait and switch via javascript

I've been playing around with the newest edition of Firefox after switching from it to Chrome years ago. So far so good. I love the insane amount of customization it gives you and the tabs group feature might make me switch full time. Speed wise it seems pretty similar. Added the few standard add-ons I use all the time and havent had any issues. Does enabling tracking protection and running Disconnect offer any additional protection? If I'm reading correctly tracking protection is just Disconnect embedded within Firefox or it was based off of Disconnect?

I switched from FF to chrome some years ago and started to switch back but noticed some things. YouTube videos look washed out compared to chrome. FF feels slow, its hard to explain but the mouse feels slower, the program feels slow, like its all stuck in virtual molasses. Anything that can be done about those?

If I'm reading correctly tracking protection is just Disconnect embedded within Firefox or it was based off of Disconnect? Probably running both is redundant. Firefox will block the network requests before Disconnect gets to see them. Firefox has its own implementation and blocklist, but the initial blocklist used by Tracking Protection is based on Disconnect's blocklist.

Alereon posted:It sounds like you have outdated videocard drivers that are causing Firefox to disable hardware acceleration. Make sure you download the latest drivers from your GPU manufacturer (Intel, AMD, or nVidia). Whatever it was fixed itself. I had installed a new video card last night, I did update the drivers. But while I was gone today W10 installed more updates and problem solved. It even feels a little snappier. Chalk one up for MS.

I'm on the beta channel, and a couple of days ago I started to have frequent crashes whenever the Flash plugin was used on a page (after an update to 41b9 which was still called b9 for some reason). Sometimes Firefox would just hang, and sometimes it would even crash the Intel graphics driver (black screen followed by a popup that the graphics driver crashed). On a couple of websites the crashes were 100% repeatable. Apparently there was a last minute change regarding the asynchronous loading of plugins to prevent crashes. My crashes started after they applied this fix. See: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1204036 After I set dom.ipc.plugins.asyncInit.enabled back to True the crashes went away. So if anybody is experiencing this, play around with this setting to see what happens. I hope they sort this out before 41 final lands (RC1 just came out) Bokito fucked around with this message at 08:43 on Sep 18, 2015 |

Is there a way to construct a uBlock filter that will filter out any objects containing a certain object a certain distance down? Like, when you select the element it shows: ###post_1286 > .post_wrapper > .post_header > .post_info_recommended And you want to block anything with .post_info_recommended if it's got that two levels inbetween deep? Because most of the other post_whatever on the page won't have it.

I often RDP in to computers at school, and I've noticed that the PDF rendering in Firefox on those computers is pretty pixelated over RDP, although (I believe) it looks fine in person. Is this the doing of RDP alone, or some combination of RDP and Firefox? Is there a way to alleviate it?

I don't use the built-in PDF reader, but I do know that Firefox disables all hardware acceleration over RDP. If you open Firefox over RDP and go to about :support you'll see that acceleration is blocked for the virtual driver. That may be what's responsible for the drop in quality.

Has anyone been encountering this problem? After upgrading to Firefox 41, the Mozilla Archive Format add-on completely shits the bed whenever I try to open a .maff file. I've tried this with both the signed and beta versions, if that helps. Hopefully they either fix this or someone finds a solution quickly, as this renders a good six years worth of backups almost-completely worthless.

Is there an ETA on Electrolysis making it to the Beta or Release channels? It's unusable for me on the Developer channel. It's probably my extensions not playing well with it but the performance is horrendous.

The regular LastPass extension was the only one that gave me grief (but I don't use a ton) They have a build that plays nicely with e10s (and has a better UI imo) https://rodan.lastpass.com/dev/lp_e10s.xpi Bugzilla ticket: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1008768

If compatibility with add-ons is a big deal for you, I'd recommend using the release channel. That gives add-on developers longer to fix any compatibility issues, so you'll (usually) not have to worry about bustage.

I recently refreshed my laptop, and now I can't find the Multi Links extension I have on my desktop. All I used it for was to right-click + drag to open multiple links from a page (e.g. from SA's bookmarks page). Does anyone know of something that would replace this, or a way to transfer it from my desktop to my laptop?
