Enabling developer options and tweaking the smallest width to 479 gives me the more useful layout, albeit at a slight loss of screen space elsewhere. I'm happy it's working now, but I wouldn't call this an intuitive solution - is it really too hard to add a "force layout" option somewhere? For the record, this was with stock android, I just used the standard settings screen features to shrink the display to show more at once.

Desuwa posted:Does anyone know if it's at all possible to hide context menu entries created by extensions? I've gone through all the native context menu clutter but a bunch of extensions have completely unnecessary context clutter. As far as I can tell the elements for extension context menus cannot be touched by userChrome.css. Ideally I'd want to move the context entries for Open With out of a submenu so it doesn't require as many actions. Hrm, I dunno about moving context items around but I'm pretty sure you can hide them - I have some stuff in my old FF CSS for that: code:e: asked around and got the answer, the dev toolbox has a button to prevent popups from hiding themselves when Firefox loses focus, so with that you can inspect the DOM for the context menu and get the IDs. for instance, the uBlock "Block element" id is #ublock0_raymondhill_net_uBlock0-blockElement and I successfully tested hiding that.

I was using a "Toggle animated GIFs" extension so that Lets Play threads wouldn't slow to a crawl trying to load a ton of animated GIFs at once, but it's been disabled in the new version, and now they won't animate at all. There doesn't seem to be a replacement yet, unless I'm mistaken.

As far as I could tell they were created dynamically and destroyed as soon as the menu was closed, while the native Firefox items stuck around. A real hassle. I tried to hide "context-screenshot" but it didn't work. I pulled that ID from the source code for the extension, but it looks like the reason it didn't work is because they're prefixing the ID with some extension metadata to keep them unique.

You're using the remote debugging option right? quote:Ctrl-Shift-I -> Gear Icon (Options) -> Header: Advanced Settings -> Check "Enable browser chrome and add-on debugging toolboxes", check "Enable remote debugging" -> Ctrl-Alt-Shift-I -> Allow remote debugging session Then there's an icon that's four squares arranged in a square, that prevents popups from autohiding so the next context menu you open will stay open when you switch back to the toolbox. It's possible this is some quirk of the extension(s) you're using though, all I know is it works for uBlock.

Flipperwaldt posted:Can you explain in more detail how to do this exactly? As if I'm some moron unaware what the dev console is, pretty much. There is some knowledge base article from around the time of FF3 with context menu item IDs that hasn't been updated and I want to strip out (apparently newer) useless stuff like "take a screenshot" and what not. Assuming you follow the instructions in my previous post to enable and open the remote debugger, here's a clip of me hiding an element. You'll notice that at first when I inspect the context menu it just gives me the first element in the DOM (big block of text unrelated to what I clicked), so then I mouseover the container element for the context menu and get that. Then I inspect an actual context item. This pulls it into the visible DOM. Also, I switch to another tab and edit userChrome.css - that doesn't exist by default, you need to create it. see about :profiles, click 'root folder' for your active profile and create a folder "chrome" then create a file inside it "userChrome.css".

Read posted:You're using the remote debugging option right? I wasn't clear, I didn't find it last night when using it and I'll have to give it another look once I get home. The combination of the elements being automatically destroyed instead of just hidden and the prefixes Firefox was adding made that made reading the IDs from source code useless was what tripped me up. E: in the ublock origin source the ID is just "uBlock0-blockElement" Desuwa fucked around with this message at 02:39 on Nov 18, 2017 |

Freakazoid_ posted:umatrix kind of works but I couldn't get something as simple as embedded youtube videos to work until this afternoon. i don't even remember what magical combination it was that made it work. Maybe try uBlock only and set it to medium mode? It's not as secure as using uMatrix in conjunction with uBlock, but it's close and a lot less hassle. https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode:-medium-mode. The idea is to default block 3rd party scripts and frames, but allow 1st party. Then if you want to unblock a domain you can just set a local noop rule most of the time. That will allow it to run unless it's also blocked in a filter list, if you still want to enable it despite that then you can set an allow rule. For common stuff, you can set global noops instead. So I have some global noops to allow Youtube, for instance. In the rule list that looks like: * youtube.com * noop * ytimg.com * noop Or in the uBlock grid interface, it's just clicking the grey squares in the left column (global rule column) for those domains. If you ever don't want to go through the bother to "fix" a site by allowing the right domains to run scripts, then you can just set local noops for 3rd party scripts/frames and you're back to default uBlock mode.

Anyone have a way to get Tampermonkey scripts and Snap Links Plus' 57+ compatible version to obey my browser settings for opening new tabs? That is, I always want a new tab to open at the end of the tab bar, rather than to have each new tab open directly next to the tab I'm opening them out of, which is what both of those extensions are doing right now. Opening a link in a new tab manually puts it at the end as I want.

Annoyingly Firefox also suffixes IDs for submenus for extensions with the index of that extension, so if you want to reliably hide those you'll end up with a rule like menu[id^=treestyletab_piro_sakura_ne_jp] because the full ID is treestyletab_piro_sakura_ne_jp_3 where the 3 can change if you install or remove other extensions. It's possible to make context submenu items appear to be top level, but without some real scripting it doesn't seem possible to make them actually clickable because one of their ancestors has attributes that keeps them disabled.

If anyone else is missing YouTube Centre, I started using Enhancer for YouTube and it's good poo poo. The main things I want is to force play in max res and to have the player fill most the screen and have a dark background. It manages all three. It also cuts out ads. Let's you run custom themes. Stops play in unfocused tabs. All the good poo poo. fishmech posted:Anyone have a way to get Tampermonkey scripts and Snap Links Plus' 57+ compatible version to obey my browser settings for opening new tabs? This annoyed the hell out of me too, so I went to the developer's website. It's apparently an issue with how Firefox does things now. They're working on fixing it because the majority of their users want tabs to open at the end of the row.

Amazingly Firefox 57 still doesn't deliver a smooth scrolling experience. This is just loving pathetic, it's really no better than 52 ESR. Resource usage was fine, both CPU and GPU were idle and memory usage was low, but I noticed that scrolling was hitching a little. Just on regular plain sites like SA or stackoverflow. I don't have a lot of extensions because a lot of extensions just don't work anymore. A restart of Firefox fixed it but after the damage this transition has done I expected this to be a problem of the past. e: at least Firefox restarts faster, which is the only improvement I've consistently noticed. Closing tabs with videos playing might have regressed compared to 52 ESR. It gets really slow after using the browser for a few hours. e2: I've been restarting Firefox constantly while changing userChrome, so it's always "fresh" and has no excuses. I barely have any tabs loaded into memory where 52 ESR was fine after a month or more of staying open. Desuwa fucked around with this message at 23:39 on Nov 18, 2017 |

Is it a little hitch every now and then while you are scrolling or constant, like every tick of the scroll wheel? I had problems with sessionstore write causing lag every 10 seconds or so, scroll or any other input would stop. No longer a problem on 57, but that might be a coincidence. If this is the case, you can search for sessionstore in about :config, disable it and see if it makes a difference. Not sure if there's a way to fix it, tab undo and session recovery is pretty useful after all. My problem just went away with the upgrade.

If I notice it again maybe I'll play with sessionstore settings but I wouldn't expect a restart to fix it if that was the problem.

I really like 57 as a recent switcher, but if you're obsessed enough to stay on 56 forever and not just until a few things you like might move over (and seemingly SALR is at "never" which will impact some people), then you may want to go ahead and try Pale Moon and see if it works with your favorite extensions since unlike 56 at least it's still getting updates.

That's exactly what it did for me. When the session got big enough (no. of tabs both open and undoable, content heavy seemed to matter as well) I think there was something inefficient by the way the session was saved, so it glitched the browser every time it was saved. When I closed all and reopened the same tabs, the glitching was gone.
