Hey all. I'm having a bizarre problem and Google's no help. When I open a Google doc I cannot edit it. I can interact with every object and field in the page, I can even modify fields that allow keyboard input (like, I can search or I can edit the font size by typing in a number, etc.) but I cannot add text in any way to the main document. I've also seen some weird behavior in other Google sites, like not being able to call out on Hangouts, or some buttons not working. This happens only when using my main Firefox profile. Everything works correctly in other profiles and browsers. Fixes I've tried: disabling extensions, safe mode, clearing cookies and cache. Any other suggestions? Here's a short gif of what I mean. The text that's already there was added from another browser signed in to the same account.

Disable all extensions should take care of a userscript problem, unless you guys are running userscripts without *monkey somehow. Since it's an input related block I'd look for anything related to accessibility that's been set to non-default, and lastly look through everything set in about :config for any possibilities. If that's a blank you maybe should just say gently caress it and refresh the profile / make a new one.

BlankSystemDaemon posted:Sure, that's how wildcards work. What I meant was, what could any userscript do, that would be applicable to every website? I use one called youtube link title that converts all youtube embeds into links. Applicable to every website that isn't youtube. VVV edit: yeah, there are some types of embeds that still show up, I think the type that it handles is just the most standard or "classic mode" one. But that's what SA and many other forums / user-posted social media use. But the *other* think that youtube link title does is take standard text links to youtube and convert them into the video title (plus a hover thumbnail). It's a really good script!

I just noticed I've been having an issue for a while now. Embedded youtube videos don't play for me. When they're in discord, these forums, news sites, etc, I press play and they either sit there loading forever or give me an error. If I click them and open them in youtube, they play fine. I've started firefox in safe mode, but no luck fixing the problem. Anyone know how to solve this?

Is there an about:config setting for capping the number of tabs loading in background simultaneously? Current behaviour: 1. open a page with many links 2. middle click a bunch of links 3. FF tries to load everything at once and slows everything to a crawl Intended behaviour: 3. FF starts loading the first N tabs immediately and concurrently but only loads the rest of background tabs sequentially, either when one of the N tabs is fully loaded or when the user switches to a unloaded tab intentionally. This is sort of what Firefox does after crashing with mutiple tabs open, upon restarting it remembers the URLs for each of the tabs but loads them one at a time, only after switching to them. So the functionality is already coded in, I just want to configure it to my liking.

Storm One posted:Is there an about :config setting for capping the number of tabs loading in background simultaneously? Staggered loading used to be a feature of Tab Mix Plus (  ) for loading a whole bunch of bookmarks. But instead of improving the user experience for loading a lot of tabs at the same time, Mozilla decided to just make it more annoying to bookmark a lot of tabs at the same time. I took a quick look for your use case. Maybe this one kinda does what you want? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/loadtabonselect/

Is your middle-click set to load tabs in the background? (ie "When you open a link in a new tab, switch to it immediately" is unchecked?) Background tab loading is supposed to be mildly lazy / lower priority than your current tab. Storm One posted:Only a set number of tabs should be auto-loaded in background concurrently and the remaining put on a queue, the intent being 1) not having to wait after closing one tab and switching to the next unread one, while 2) not tanking performance by pointlessly loading all tabs at once when it'll take me a while to read each of them one by one. Try setting network.http.max-connections to a lower number in about :config It's not exactly what you want, but that will cut down the number of tabs that firefox is attempting to load at once by capping the number of connections available.

Storm One posted:I think the issue is JS-heavy sites killing performance with my old CPU Deffo set up ublock with blocking of 3rd party scripts. Here's a simple guide for that setup. It's a bit of a hassle for a month or two while you figure out which js your commonly visited sites actually need to function. But it makes browsing, especially on an older / weaker CPU, approximately infinity times better. quote:not a bandwidth or network latency problem. Everything is fine with mostly text-and-pictures-only sites. EDIT: i'll try it anyways setting max connections lower will also reduce bandwidth used, but in this case that's a secondary effect and the main thing we're looking for is to make new tabs sit idle because new tabs #1-6 have used all the connections. that will require a fairly low number of max connections (it was 256 for a long time, so I'd start by lowering it to that and then maybe go even further down until you get behavior you like.) it's kinda a blunt instrument and wouldn't be my first choice if there were still extensions that could get into the guts of tab loading.

Hah, I knew whining about it on the internet would fix it  Anyway, after about a week of running with max-connections = 9, I couldn't notice any difference with the loading-several-tabs-at-once slowdown, so I bumped them back to the default 900.

How can I keep Firefox from hiding tabs on the right when the tab bar is "full" and I'm opening new tabs? I want it to scroll the other way, i.e. hide the leftmost tabs rather than the rightmost tabs.

I have new tabs/links opening new tabs set to be opened to the right of the current one. The problem: If the bar is "full" and I am viewing a tab that isn't all the way to the right, and open a new tab, the rightmost tab(s) (beyond the new one) will be shoved out of view. I want leftmost tabs to be shoved out of view instead.

I'm just going to drop this here:quote:The attack works against Chrome, Safari, Edge, and until recently Brave, which developed an effective countermeasure after receiving a private report from the researchers. Firefox would also be susceptible to the technique, but a bug prevents the attack from working at the moment.

edit: since this was a mega efb, I'm gonna elaborate on this one bit of my original post:quote:(not that it super matters, tracking isn't really a "security" risk, just a privacy one. hence why the other browsers, who got told about it 6 months ago, haven't fixed it.) IMO this type of thing is a lost cause for privacy. If you go to a website, and that website is interested in connecting you to other websites that you visit, they will probably succeed. If I go to pornhub, pornhub knows "I" (or someone at my IP) has visited their site. Yeah, you could use a VPN to disguise that. What do you know, the biggest emphasis on "they are watching which websites you visit  " as a basic element of privacy is being pushed by VPN companies. Which now include Mozilla. FF now advertises their VPN when you open incognito.If I visit the urologist's office or my friend's house, the urologist or my friend know that I've been there. I might prefer that my friends don't know about which medical doctors I need to see. That's a realistic goal. If I don't want pornhub to know about my porn viewing, don't go to pornhub. The thing that's problematic about tracking, is tracking across a variety of sites. And that's primarily about google & facebook. Those are the people who get permission by website owners to run 3rd party scripts on every website, essentially allowing them to follow you across the web. And the scary part of them isn't that they can track which websites you look at in incognito mode. It's that they're collecting data every moment of your life. tldr I feel like people are being sold paranoia when they should be being sold the idea of Having Rights Klyith fucked around with this message at 22:28 on Feb 19, 2021 |

But to prevent server-side tracking requires a VPN too. (Or certain configurations of carrier-grade NAT). So while VPN advertisements shouldn't imply they are sufficient to prevent tracking, they're a pretty necessary part of preventing tracking.
