Sorry; I'm being a big dumb -- I've found the autoplay whitelist, but I can't seem to do anything except remove websites from it; rather than adding them. e: I did set it to allow everything by default and the notification sound still didn't work, so I don't think this is going to be the fix.

Thanks, I found those and they're indeed running at 1080p. Unfortunately the test patterns look much better than the content in question, so I'm still trying to figure out what's going on. It is strange to me that Netflix treats third party browsers as second class citizens, I can only assume that they're doing this because of DRM/HDCP reasons.

ArcaneMan posted:This exact same thing happened to me with the update, was able to get tabs on bottom again but still had that space there. Tried for a long time to mess around with css flex settings but in the end I started fresh with a new usercss, used the top google result for tabs on bottom, and that worked. I'd just like to add, for anyone else that may have this issue, that this worked for me, too, the page at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/forum-response-tabs-below-url-bar with the example css written out for firefox 65 and above did the trick. The irony is that I actually tried this very page first, but I didn't realize then that firefox 71 has css files turned off by default, and you need to turn it on in the about :config settings before it'll work, only after which did I use a different css, which then resulted in the screwed up version. Fun! Thanks again, ArcaneMan.

I still don't understand the point of DRM since you can pirate the content with same or better quality. Like.. why bother with DRM? It just causes issues for customers.

Ihmemies posted:I still don't understand the point of DRM since you can pirate the content with same or better quality. Like.. why bother with DRM? It just causes issues for customers. Same thing with Sky / Now TV in the UK. Their streaming websites require a separate video player app to be downloaded, which opens whenever you want to play anything. And is windows / macOS only. They also log you out once an hour or something ultra hostile - as opposed to never for every other steaming site. Literally all their content has already been pirated, whether from their TV broadcasts or from the original channel (HBO). It’s trivial to find streams of all their live sport too. So it’s unclear why punishing their paying customers with DRM / annoyances is worth it, when playing in the browser is good enough for every other streaming site.

That warning is on all but a handful of popular extensions, though. It's just Mozilla covering its rear end in case something breaks (into your computer).

wooger posted:So it’s unclear why punishing their paying customers with DRM / annoyances is worth it, when playing in the browser is good enough for every other streaming site. I suspect it is partly about collecting telemetry/analytics data that’s beyond their reach in a browser with an adblocker. Even on iOS, a very closed down platform, there’s a noticeable trend where video/streaming platforms only offer high quality streams and content via native apps that are so full of trackers that they make any DNS based adblocker work overtime. Some of those apps won’t even let you use them without logging into an account. YouTube is a good example for this. The native app explicitly disables PiP, their website in iOS Safari only supports 720p at medium bitrates. It’s not just limited to streaming, many services push people to native apps to collect more data even though a simple website would often do the job. Just one more reason to use a browser like Firefox.

Mozilla has a long history of deprecating old OIDs in about-config in favour of adding new, rather than exposing new features under existing OIDs with new values and optional handling of old values.

This actually makes sense because it's by far safer when it comes compatibility with old profiles. And old profiles already run into a ton of weird behavior as it is. I can also see scenarios where an old add-on expects certain values and new code adds values that the add-on does not know how to handle and everything goes to poo poo.

Firefox has never had a concept of POLA. If anything, it's the opposite: if it can be broken during an upgrade, Mozilla will break it.

I have a strange problem that I'm not really sure when it started. Some sites, Youtube TV and Pluto TV that I've found so far, are showing data to me as if I'm in GMT time zone. This is from Youtube TV, right now. The guide thinks my local time is a little after 5pm. It's really 11am, as you can see from the Fox 9 News at 11am. The guide on Pluto does the same thing.  If I do a search and then visit any website that displays the time, those sites are able to determine my correct TZ, CST/CDT. So Youtube and Pluto are pulling something else. I've tried turning off tracking protection and disabling ublock. And in Chrome, things work correctly. Any ideas on something to look for?

phosdex posted:Ah, it was the privacy.resistFingerprinting setting. Thanks! It's kind of a dumb feature as it is. It clearly needs more fine-grained control over fingerprinting reistance. Either disable it on a site-by-site basis or allow users to disable certain protections. Personally I would be fine with only 1/24th as effective fingerprinting resistance if it didn't break the clock on sites that use it.

There is finer grained control but it reduces the effectiveness of that experimental feature. It's off by default for a reason. It's possible to individually toggle at least some of the features that the resistfingerprinting master switch controls. The ghacks user.js file documents those.

So FF updated and it's done something to my menu colors, they used to go along with the color theme I had and be dark gray/black but now they're white/light gray and I can't figure out what can change it. Downloaded other themes with no avail. Any ideas? As you can see it gets real artificial sunny so I try to avoid any whiteness I can.
