Got that one already, but thanks.

Good to know there's still work being done on it.

Just wish I could work out how to stop "Open all in tabs" stealing focus every time I open everything in a bookmark folder.

With Tab Mix Plus it was all just so easy :sigh:

I can't take all the credit. This is a reimplementation of a theme that shipped with Firefox 34 that the author subsequently deleted and dropped off the face of the earth. I just repackaged the assets and filled in the blanks for the things that had changed.

I just tried to save an image using the "Save Image As..." context menu.

The download failed, but succeeded when I clicked retry.

Is there a way to make Firefox automatically retry downloads initiated by "Save Image As..."

Alternative question: Is there a way to make Firefox to just loving save the image it is showing on the screen because it has already downloaded it and not download it again?

It should be in cache, if you have to download it again the site is breaking cache somehow.

I've seen Firefox be weird about cache and re-downloading images it's clearly got in some kind of cache --because I'm looking at them on my screen right at that very moment-- at seemingly random.
Not that I've been able to pin down how/why because it doesn't seem consistent, even among hosts or browsing sessions. Maybe it's a thing it does for images that are only in the memory cache? I dunno. Sometimes Firefox just decides not to cache images to the disk.

Yeah, like on this page if I click on "View Image Info" on avatars it says "Unknown (not cached)" for the size, which is frankly bullshit.

It seems there is a separate in-memory storage for just the renderer. I think that's always a decoded/lossless format, except it might be scaled down if the original source is much larger resolution than the displayed. In other words, not the original file, which is what you want to download.

Geemer

If it only keeps the decoded images in memory and discards the source file, then that'd make sense. You'd end up compressing jpgs to hell otherwise.

You may wanna grab DownThemAll, since it can retry downloads like you want, and has also recently been made into a WebExtension to work on the new version of Firefox (as was covered quite recently ITT).

I don't know why they don't change the purple to the blue colour from previous versions. This one looks like a pirated version of Firefox.

The color change is baffling in this era of "OMG FIND A BRAND AND STICK WITH IT" and then also the flattened/lopsided icon.

It is just such a weird choice.

Yeah, I wrote about it when 70 hit beta, but their improvements to the JavaScript engine this version makes web page loads noticeably quicker. Firefox 70 is a very good version.

Firefox 71 hit beta and the only major change was making the picture-in-picture mode enabled by default. You can use it in version 70, but it is hidden behind about:config flags. It is also a feature I find myself heavily using, especially after my 2nd monitor broke.

Didn't they also gut/ruin the "about:config" page for v71.0 much like they did with the pointless change to the "about:addons" page a while back, seems like another major there, change at least for some.

Is there any way to avoid being sent to local site portals that isn't using a VPN?

Everything I've found says no, but I figured I'd give it one last shot and ask here.

I'm sick of being redirected to lovely, half-complete Australian versions of US sites where, half the time, the article doesn't even exist. So I click on a link to an article, but it redirects to the Australian site's main page because that site has only a fraction of the US site's content and the article I'm looking for isn't there.

You'd think if the article doesn't exist on the local site it wouldn't redirect, but apparently that's expecting too much.

Right now, I'm having to use a free VPN when clicking the links and then turning it off after I've read the page. It's not a huge deal, it's just extra hassle for a problem which shouldn't exist in 2019.

a combo of ublock and either umatrix or privacy badger will allow you to do that.

oh yeah I'm dumb it is per site.

e: hmm no, twitter embeds still not loading. probably have to disable more.

e2: turns out it was privacy badger all along. apparently it resets after an update, maybe? weird.

Because every tech company expects "work" from their employees, so they just gently caress around with things to make it seem like they're doing something important.
