Double Punctuation posted:Is there any way to make Firefox not change the scroll speed in the middle of scrolling? I often try to scroll to the middle of a page, but after three or four swipes on my trackpad, it will suddenly zoom to the top or bottom. I’m on macOS, and it’s behaving like I had scrolling with inertia enabled. (I turned it off in Accessibility Settings, which fixes the issue in Chrome but not Firefox.) Toggling smooth scrolling does nothing. I've noticed this too, but it's quite rare. I wonder if there is something in the html that can influence this. Perhaps scrolling counts the font size as the line height, and scrolls x units of line height per scroll input. But if the text is scaled differently in addition to the html-defined font size, the scroll might take a different "bite" of the page.

I've never noticed this before. Is it possible you have tapping enabled, and as you're swiping quickly you do a "middle click", triggering the scroll mode?

Is there a way to have embedded <video> tags in Firefox show the controls by default? In Chrome you could use a userscript to do it on hover over the videos, but I can't get any scripts to work in Firefox and have to manually right click videos to show the controls.

Toggling smooth scrolling does nothing. Inertia Scrolling is biting you. I use DisableExtremeScrollAcceleration to disable this: https://github.com/davekeck/DisableExtremeScrollAcceleration *Derp* missed that you disabled it in accessibility. Try that app out anyway, it might not fully disable in the accessibility pane only?

Yeah, the way Chrome (and now Firefox) is doing extensions is more secure for the user and browser . But, the way Firefox was doing extensions was incomparably better from performance perspective and capabilities perspective. I guess both of them want to tighten the wall around the extensions.

There's legitimate reasons for the overall idea of "provide filters to the browser, let it handle blocking". The Chrome proposal doesn't just do that, though, because Adblock Plus style filters are worse than uBlock AFAIK and 30,000 filters is far too few (and this is already known, because Apple did 50k and that's not enough) I don't think a Firefox dev saying "declarative blocking is better for security and performance" means we're going to end up with Firefox doing what Google seems to be doing.

I'm extremely worried because it sounds like the bullshit they come up with to justify a decision. Web content and the main browser already have to be isolated for security. Extensions should too. And adding steps of IPC will absolutely have performance impact. All of that is true. But no extensions = no added steps. Simply maintaining the ability for extensions to hook into that chain should not have any impact. So the only reasons you'd remove it is either because you want to protect the idiots who install 500 extensions from themselves at all costs, or because you're trying to keep google happy.

Klyith posted:or because you're trying to keep google happy. They still have quite the good deal on search revenue from Google... so yeah, this is probably going to hit Firefox eventually too. Everything is beginning to feel like the late 1990s/early 2000s again, when the browser market stagnated so badly and innovation was nowhere and I wound up running IE for a while because there wasn't anything else in a useable state. Will we have another browser renaissance this time, or will it just be a bunch of abandoned Firefox and Chromium forks that we switch to whenever the next one comes out?

Ohh, they mean the pop-up text boxes people could add to their videos. Yeah those are seemingly gone but the option to toggle annotations still exists and now shows/hides these video suggestion text boxes that appear on the top right (and also the channel's logo on the bottom right.)

I don't doubt that, but not having them stay gone when the option is there kinda stinks. It worked on Chrome, whatever that means.

Youtube is probably the heaviest adblocked site I use with a ton of manually blocked elements on top of automatically blocked ones. On the topic of Firefox and Youtube, FF is the only browser that effortlessly plays 1080p60 content on my ancient PC. Chrome used to but stopped after an update and began dropping frames like crazy, so that's another reason this transfer from Chrome was way overdue for me. E: Having said that, the Space bar no longer pauses videos. It unpauses them, but then it goes on to do nothing except flash the play symbol onscreen while the video goes on. Whaaaaaaat?

It would make more sense for this thing to be able to stop a video rather than start it, but you might be on to something.

Youtube's player is really loving weird about what the thing you last clicked on it was. That said, it looks like Google hosed with it and broke the ability to pause with the space bar. It worked fine yesterday. E: It's working again? I'd restarted firefox, though. I'm perfectly willing to let Google and Mozilla share the blame.

YouTube protip: J rewinds videos 10 seconds, K plays/pauses and L advances videos 10 seconds. For me spacebar is dodgy because, if a video doesn't have focus, pressing it just scrolls down the page

nexus6 posted:YouTube protip: Didn't know about those. I've been using arrow keys left/right for rewind/forward 10 seconds. Up and down change the volume. Also the numbers (above the letters, but maybe also numpad?) take you to that tenth of the video, so 1 is 1/10th, 5 is halfway, 9 is 9/10th and 0 is the start of the video.

Is there any way to make Firefox behave properly with "jump to last read post" on these forums? On image or tweet heavy pages it always jumps way off position. Chrome doesn't have that problem.
