Thank you for the Stylus recommendation, this is perfect! I assumed something like Greasemonkey/etc... would be my only option hence the JS-centric framing of my question, but something CSS-focused like Stylus is what I was really wanted.

I can't help but wonder if there's a measurable difference between Stylus or (Tamper|Grease|Violent)Monkey in terms of actual performance? I would naively expect something like GreaseMonkey to be fastest since it's applied at DOM load and doesn't need a second pass of the stylesheet over the page, but that might be based on an erroneous understanding of the rendering engine (since I imagine it's changed quite a lot).

On slow webpages, I could have sworn the (outdated) Stylish was already in effect while the page was still loading and never saw the pre/post blink I had with Greasemonkey. I assumed it was nothing but a frontend for userContent.css.

Is there a way to force Firefox to open a link from the URL bar in a new tab, without using an addon? I was using an addon for this until this weekend, when it started getting in slapfights with facebook, and having to open a blank page to keep from overwriting whatever page I'm on is annoying.

Keyboard: Shift+Alt+Enter when the URL bar has focus (F6 to focus it at any time). Mouse: When the typed address changes, the go arrow is displayed. Middle-click it.

Not sure I understand. Are you pasting in URLs in the same window or clicking links? Ctrl-click a link opens in new tab, but it doesn't always work because a click in a web app isn't always a new URL.

On the subject of keeping track of lots and lots of related tabs, I gotta say Tree Style Tab is an absolute must. We all have widescreen monitors, now, anyway. Oh and you can just right-click a tab and choose to duplicate it with it. Doubly on subject.

If it's something you're picking from the suggestions, highlight it with the keyboard and press alt+enter.

I had no idea about F6 but I never much liked using the F keys for anything, especially if you're on a laptop and need to hold down the actual Fn key too.

I'll use tree-style if I have to, but I keep going back to multirow tabs. drat near every major Firefox update breaks it, but there's a Github for it which gets updated incredibly fast every time

Knormal posted:This turned out to work pretty well based on my initial testing, thanks. By changing this to 0 when you launch the new Firefox for the first time it brings up the profile list, which should only have the one existing profile in it. If you select that existing profile and tell Firefox not to ask again it'll use the old profile from then on without any more hassle. That's just one screenshot to send people, we'll still have some users mess it up of course but most should be able to follow it. Fortunately most of the computer-illiterate people don't even understand what browsers are anyway and still use IE/Edge, so won't care about their old Firefox profile. From what I read, Firefox will create a profile for each unique install location. The 32 bit version was installed in "Program Files (x86)". If you uninstall it and then install the 64 bit version, the new version will install to "Program Files" resulting in a new profile. Two other possible solutions: Don't uninstall the 32 bit version. Installing the 64 bit version should overwrite the 32 bit version in the same directory and then use the same profile according to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1558320 You can also try setting this GPO to disable the different profile behaviour. https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates#legacyprofiles

Unless you run Firefox with administrative privileges, it can't write anything to the Program Files folders (whether 32 or 64bit variants) - It's usually in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming - or sometimes ..\Local if the developers don't want the profile to transfer with AD/LDAP, if memory serves.

There are some heuristics Firefox uses that will make it not show like size and whether there is sound. Firefox also has specific behaviour for a couple sites. It's supposed to be disabled on the Netflix browse menu you can see at https://github.com/mozilla-extensio...verrides.js#L32

Lately, Firefox has been playing videos (YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc) at a crazy speed; any idea what's causing this? Seems random. I can fix it by messing with playback settings, but if I pause and replay, or even just go like 5 seconds forward/back, or change my spot in the video, the problem starts again and it is annoying

And they’re unable to stop that right now on both desktop & mobile, provided you use the website. They’ve made the ads so bad recently (midroll especially) that I just deleted the app and will deal with the slight clunkiness of mobile Safari.

Flipperwaldt posted:It can be a bit clunky and it will break sometimes if youtube changes something. I actually recommend installing the F-Droid open source app store and installing NewPipe through that, because you will get update notifications for it. The app'll also generate its own update notifications if you download the app directly from them.
