This no longer works for some reason. The filter that's automatically created when I right-click and choose block looks like "||notalwaysright.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/icon_crazyrequests.png", and ctrl+clicking on it doesn't do anything because it's just in a text field.
You're supposed to ctrl+click on one of the suggested alternative rules below the text field. Specifically the one that concerns the featuredimage block. edit: all this in the element picker, so use that instead of the right click, block element thing. sorry that ends up being the same thing

But just add this rule manually:

notalwaysright.com##.featuredimage

What's the best right click image search extension? To be on the safe side, I tossed out a bunch of extensions after YouTube Unblocker went evil and I need a nice right click image search extension.

I thought it would be simple, but there are a tonne of extensions on Mozilla's site, most of which have "google image search" as a title and they range from the useless to the 'handy and well put together, but also searches hentai and cartoon pony porn databases'. Literally. I'm not kidding here.

most people in this thread will tell you that you should switch to uMatrix in blacklist mode rather than noscript in whitelist mode

but if you don't want to, you need to either
1) whitelist more sites. As more of the web moves to CDNs and other complex hosting, noscript isn't as good because it has assumptions from web 1.0
2) turn off the notifications



(I still use noscript rather than umatrix because I am ok with large parts of the internet being broken.)

Sometime in the past several weeks, most Vine videos stopped playing in Firefox (either embedded on or on the Vine page itself). I'm using uBlock Origin and the problem persists even when I unblock Vine, so I'm not sure what the deal is. Anyone else had this problem lately?

It's because of this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1247496

Basically it's something on Vine's end but apparently they fixed it anyway and it'll probably trickle down to the actual release. In the mean time you could use the various workarounds in that bug report.
But considering Vine is dumb, see this as an opportunity to break the habit of using it.

I mean, recursion is perfectly fine if the depth is bounded to a relatively small number (or if you have tail call optimization or something), but going 2100 deep suggests either a ridiculously large dataset or piss-poor coding. Since Vine isn't running Folding@Home on people's browsers, I think we can safely assume the latter.

They see a world where even their cell phone can punch 10,000 in Octane and stop caring about optimization even after the fact. (For the record, a Core-M tablet will do about 20,000 and a 2500K about 30,000. Later cycles are worth less than earlier and most browsers still run Octane single-process.)

They should be ordered on pain of dismissal to use Tracfones or some poo poo see how little they care about how well their product runs then.

I used to work on a codebase with event loop-based code, everything was callbacks. A few stack traces exhibited very recursive callback hierarchies, which can happen when you make an API that takes a callback, and in some cases "short-circuit" where the callback gets called immediately, instead of getting called when an event gets fired later. For example if it's to retrieve data from the server but it can be cached client-side. You aren't deliberately writing recursive code, you're calling a callback that then proceeds to call another API that calls the callback which then...

So you could avoid this by using well, alternatives to setImmediate I guess, see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/setImmediate#Notes

I often go to a page based on a keyword or whatever so would prefer to have that page be the first result even if there's another page with that substring in its URL.

Plus it's yet another badly designed change for change's sake which breaks everyone's muscle memory.

It doesn't, though?

The "Vist http://blahblah" entry mirrors what's actually in the URL entry field, and pressing Tab takes you to the second entry in the list of suggestions, skipping over the Visit entry entirely.

It just makes the old style suggestions more discoverable to users.

I watch a vine once in a blue moon, but still hate having to crack open Chrome to do it.

Thankfully the set media.mediasource.mp4.enabled to false worked right away for me.

Now I'm hoping it doesn't end up causing something weird in the long run like disabling hardware acceleration.

I had the same hesitation. I actually assumed some previous thoughtless quickfix i'd made months ago in about :config was causing this Vine problem now.

You will likely have some youtube issues with that setting disabled, specifically not being able to watch in 480p or 1080p.

If it's affecting both browsers, it's likely an OS thing. Go check your mouse settings, maybe the driver got updated and the setting for middle mouse button got changed.

Firefox 45.0.1.

I just ditched NoScript and Ghostery this week and installed uBlock Origin and uMatrix. They're working out all right, except for one little problem.

When viewing threads on this forum, a linked image will load only once, in it's original post. If that post is subsequently quoted, the image will not be displayed in the quote, while still being displayed in the original post if that post is on the same page. (Scroll up to original post, image; scroll down to quoting, blank space. Any text from the original post shows just fine in quotes.)

Nothing wrong with the images. They load in the post of origin. If I open page source and find the link, I can copy/paste and open the images just fine in a new tab.

It's happening on both computers where I'm using Firefox 45.0.1 and I never saw this happen till I installed uBlock and uMatrix.

Anybody know what's causing it and how to persuade Firefox to display images when they are quoted?
