Just make sure you disable automatic updates for it or it will update to a newer version which is crap.

Xander77 posted:3. For some reason, I can no longer kill firefox by ending the process once in task manager. The first kill just crashes all the tabs, and it takes a second to close it. Why? Firefox is multi-process now. Sounds like you closed the content (tabs) process first.

Desuwa posted:Except Firefox isn't going to see its market share come back because you cannot buy advertisement as good as the nags on google.com for Chrome and the nags inside Windows for edge. Plus Chrome does opt-out bundling with installers of other programs, which Mozilla won't do, and edge comes preinstalled on Windows, which Mozilla can't do. This is exactly why Mozilla's continued feature reductions and UI changes for no good reason, etc. piss me off so much. Chasing the Chrome dragon is fruitless because of this, and there have to be some people in the high level decision making that know this, but whoever arbitrates the final results ignoring it is so horribly wrong.

Xander77 posted:1. For some reason, youtube videos went back to autoplaying (as far as I know, that's the default youtube setting, no matter what browser of computer you're on), with ads. I have ublock and youtube center on (I also have ublock on chrome, doesn't help with ads there anymore either). Anything that can replace them? You don't need to replace them, just wait for filter maintainers or the main dev to update when they figure out what to block. But in the long term, you may just have to accept ads on youtube at some point. If youtube finds a way to make ads that are served from the same source and are part of the same media stream as the video you want to see, that will be almost impossible to block. I think it's just a CPU issue for them: if they had enough processing power to re-encapsulate every video on the fly, they could do it right now. Re-encapsulation doesn't take a ton of CPU power, but they serve a lot of video. It'll happen some time. Accept it, get a youtube red subscription, or start watching stuff that doesn't monetize with video ads. Can't help you with the autoplay thing, hasn't happened to me.

Very seldomly, Firefox just completely shits itself and doesnt load any tabs (claiming it couldn't establish a connection to the websites), or if it does load something like twitter, no images load. Youtube worked perfectly fine but that was it. Restarting had the same problem persist until I refreshed the pages. is the multi-process stuff just failing when that happens? edit: Discord also failed to send messages, but received them just fine. Maybe it's my internet? spit on my clit fucked around with this message at 04:49 on Feb 27, 2017 |

If you actually care about a bookmarking / archiving, you should use Pinboard. It's the only one with a business model, which means it's the one that's likely to stay in business.

I can't wait to have to get rid of that Pocket icon again when they start a new round of pushing it down everyone's throat. Also, isn't this literally what bookmarks are for?

Was tired of Chrome, tried and disliked Opera, have now jumped ship to Firefox. Liking it a lot so far, performance is very good, ublock origin on mobile is a god send. Only one tiny fly in the ointment, animated GIFs are like kryptonite to it. One page of the GIF thread and the browser is squirming on the floor. Improved somewhat when I replaced the accidentally downloaded (and previously mentioned) 32-bit version, it totally poo poo itself like an ebola victim. But even a single one plays back poorly with jerks on every loop so there's clearly something not right. Hardware accel is enabled, anything else to do about it?

Theoretically you could but no one has processor die space for that. They'll poo poo up anything that isn't a workstation or similarly powerful and there's not a lot to be done about it. If you're talking about Android, you might give the Awful app a shot.

dont be mean to me posted:GIFs aren't hardware accelerated. Theoretically you could but no one has processor die space for that. I switched on both laptop and mobile for bookmark/tab sync, but the gif making GBS threads is taking place on the laptop. Chrome and Edge handles it fine, but Firefox doesn't, on the same laptop, so it's definitely Firefox that is the problem. But scrolling through a huge amount of GIFs isn't a big priority in my life so it's not a big deal. e: I've never thought hardware acceleration meant anything more than "use more computer, make it work better".

Given the absolute proliferation of 50-100MB GIFs everywhere, I'm surprised all browsers haven't implemented click to play.

Are they actually GIFs or embedded videos? A lot of sites can serve both, so the videos can be hardware accelerated but the actual GIFs won't. There also was a bug that would make Firefox hang entirely for a while processing GIFs but I think that was fixed a few versions ago.

Double Punctuation posted:Buy faster RAM? You're pushing a game and a video to the GPU at the same time. RAM can't transfer data at infinite speeds. I've got more than necessary for that, and it doesn't get slow - it freezes on a frame and resumes when I mouse-over the video or make the window active. The sound continues to play, but the video freezes on a frame. It's a Nvidia card. It doesn't happen on Chrome.

Is there an extention or userscript that will stop a page from loading embedded YouTube videos? A site for a game I play lets people embed YouTube videos, and it tends to slow Firefox down for a few seconds while it processes them. Frankly, I don't care about the videos, so I'd like to just stop them from loading.

You can definitely kill specific cross site requests with uMatrix or maybe even the gimped version of it that is in uBlock Origin. How elegant that's going to end up being depends on how embedding is implemented in that site.
