I've been using Chrome for almost a year now and want to switch back to Firefox. Not a deal breaker but in Chrome I could right click on hightlighted text and have it read back to me via Mac OS's built-in text to speech engine. This option isn't available in Firefox and using the combo key to initiate it doesn't work either. Anyone know how to fix this?

If you're on Windows you can create a new shortcut and add -p PROFILENAME -no-remote to do what you want. Or you can use Private mode.

Is there a way to disable certain extensions in Private Browsing mode? Not all just specific ones.

Xmarks syncs open tabs too.

Not sure if this a bug or not but I opened a webpage with ~1000 pics which caused Firefox's memory usage to go from ~500MB to ~7GBs (yes that's GB). The same page on Chrome is only about ~1GBs. I'm on Mac OS 10.8.3 if that makes a difference. Anyone else seen this? Is it normal?

I've been having this problem as well but on Chrome. I think this might be a YouTube issue?

wooger posted:What platform do you run Firefox on? As I recall the iCloud syncing app that comes with iTunes for Windows will let you sync bookmarks to IE at least, and from there its possible to get them to/from Firefox. Xmarks works with safari and also has a iOS app.

Is there anyway of making the address bar icons smaller so the whole toolbar takes up less vertical space? Before 29 I could go to customize and then check small icons. I like the new redesign but it takes up so much space on my low res macbook air screen!

Mr.Radar posted:Check out the Australis Slimmr plugin that was mentioned at the bottom of the last page. One of its options is to reduce the height of the navigation bar. You can also set it to make the navigation bar auto-hide. Thanks for the link. The autohide is going to take some getting use to but looks like what I'm looking for.

I have auto fill options Login and Security and Forms and Autofill disabled but for some reason Firefox still remembers usernames. Checked about:config and searched for autofill and disabled everything that looks relevant but it’s still doing it. Am I missing an option somewhere? This happens on a new profile too.

BlankSystemDaemon posted:I think you want distribution/policies.json in the same directory as your firefox binary, and then add DisableFormHistory in the syntax given at the top of the document. Ah, looks like I missed browser.formfill.enable. Setting that to false fixed it. Thanks!
