I'm having a weird issue trying to get Aurora to run. Windows 7-64, installed it with no issues, but after running the addon compatibility checker it just stops. Nothing lurking in the process list, even. It seemed to be using my Firefox 6 profile automatically, judging from it sifting through the earlier version's extensions. Do I need to completely yank my FF6 install, or somehow force it to start using a blank profile?

Jack MacAskill posted:Tab Mix Plus is a really popular extension, it's not likely to fall into disrepair any time soon. I'd think. There is always the 'disable compatibility check' thing in the OP. I just noticed this issue myself, and somehow managed to actually find something useful on the Mozillazine forums. If you're running beta or alpha Firefox, running the developer version of TMP (available on the site) instead of the current final should fix your problem. Unfortunately I also discovered an annoying new wrinkle in the way Firefox handles tabs. Instead of being able to drag and drop them onto the bookmarks bar, you have to hold control, then drag and drop the tab. Apparently it's supposed to emulate the file explorer 'click and drag to move, modifier key to do something else' interface, but I found it unintuitive.

Has anyone noticed Aurora not handling cookies properly over the last few days? I can stay logged into SA with no trouble, but Twitter and other forums consistently log me out even when I tell them to remember me. I tried clearing the cache and deleting my cookies, but whatever's happening is persistent.

Have they dicked around with the keyboard interface in the last update to Aurora? All of a sudden I can't PgUp/PgDn or End/Home my way through a page, and the arrow keys apparently navigate through links.

Nope, but I wouldn't have thought of that so thanks for the suggestion. Did a handful of diagnostics and cycled power... and then discovered that somehow 'always use keyboard for navigation' got turned on in Aurora's preferences. Weird, because I don't remember seeing that option before. Oh well, crisis averted. Thanks again.

Looks like Aurora's up to 10.0a2 now. It claimed that a metric tonne of my addons were no longer functional, but they seem to be working. Unfortunately, the add-on manager isn't. Oh well, I can live without that until someone comes up with a fix or workaround.

This might help. From the Extension Guru's blog:quote:Important! Add-on Compatibility Reporter is not correctly working with Firefox (and Thunderbird 10). You will need to go into about :config and manually add the Boolean Preference extensions.checkCompatibility.10.0a and set to FALSE.Once you restart Firefox your add-ons should be working again.

Okay, this is a little odd. I just got a big 19 meg Aurora update, and now bare images are shown centred against a grey background, instead of left-top justified against a default white background. I haven't changed any addons (though TMP updated at the same time). Anyone know if there's a way to change this back to the old default?

It's not a big deal, but I do think the grey is ugly and somewhat distracting, and I'd rather see images in the context of a default blank webpage background. I'm just disappointed that I need an addon to override their colour choice. Edit: Overriding page backgrounds in Options 'fixes' it, but it also 'fixes' every other webpage with a custom background. Oh well, was worth a shot. I'll adjust. Bieeanshee fucked around with this message at 17:27 on Dec 25, 2011 |

I like the idea behind that personal titlebar addon, but it looks like the primary uses I'd have for it (a place to stash pinned app tabs, or single bookmarks) is defeated by the way bars function. Oh well!

I've got both installed; I think TMP is coded to give control of certain things over to Tree-Style Tabs without a fuss. Sidebars are distracting to me, so instead I use the collapsible horizontal tabs, which still save a fair lot of screen real estate. I'm not sure if it's possible, but I'd love to see a tab addon that can go from this:  to this:  ...on the fly.

Waffnuffly posted:Similarly, I've seen mention that Firefox's new image viewing thing (centered on black backdrop) can't be disabled without a third-party addon. Is there anything that allows this change without additional overhead, like a userchrome.css edit or something? I don't mind it that much, but sometimes I appreciate the old single-image-viewing style for specific purposes. The addon I use for this apparently does it by removing a stylesheet that 'Bug 376997' added in. I'm too lazy to dig around in the bug tracker or the guts of the addon to figure out how to kill it manually, but it shouldn't be impossible.

The gmail talk is weirding me out, because I've been stuck with that new layout for months now. My condolences to the latest victims. On the brighter side, now you can remove poo poo on the sidebar that you don't actually use (like phone, buzz, etc) and the message selection and manipulation interface stays put at the top of the screen instead of scrolling off.

Everything Firefox 10 and beyond is assumed to be compatible by default, with the following exceptions: Add-ons marked to work with a Firefox version less than 4.0 Add-ons with binary components Add-ons explicitly marked by the author as incompatible, i.e. opt-out of Compatible By Default Add-ons tested and determined to not be compatible with a given version of Firefox, and marked as incompatible by Mozilla Themes Linkification hasn't been updated in over a year, so it's possible that it falls in under the first criterion. Fortunately the first review on its addons catalogue page gives instructions for tweaking the installer so that it runs properly. The same thing's probably happening with your weather addon. Your best bet's to look for an updated version, or go in and perform the same surgery on the xpi package, assuming it isn't hooking into some DLL it comes packaged with.

The version I'm running is 15.0a2, so the site probably needs to play a little catchup. It should want to update to current, if it isn't at 15 when you download it.

Dodoman posted:Anyone else on Aurora 16? I can't seem to get the new theme to work (if it has been implemented). I do, however, have the new download icon next to the search bar which is very sexy. May finally let me stop using download statusbar. I'm on 16, and I've been trying to get rid of the thing. I've found a config variable that keeps it from populating its download list, but the empty bubble still pops open when a download completes. It'd be nice if they put it in as a traditional UI element that I could just drag and drop off into the customization window, but it doesn't show up in layout editing mode. Oh well. It's a minor annoyance at worst.

I've got a habit of leaving tabs open, and the stair-stacking effect was nice for when I had some stuff I didn't want to forget but wasn't going to get to until later. Just switched to vertical, so I'll see how that works out.

I'll probably be first in line for BottomTabs4EVA because my personal browsing metaphor explains them as being spawned from (and thus subordinate to) the URL bar. No biggie. I say this because Tree Style Tabs was misbehaving for me in the weirdest, erratic ways earlier and I had to disable it. Hopefully the developer can figure out what broke soon.

the yeti posted:What other malfunctioning did you see? Crap, it's been a while. Horizontal tree collapsing had broken before that, so I tried vertical tabs instead. I had trouble with tab duplication, and Firefox switching to the last tab on tab closure (instead of going back to the previous opened tab), and I think the vertical tree functionality was misbehaving in minor ways as well.

I use the Yousable Tube Fix script for the same reasons, and it occasionally stops working because the Youtube team has decided to fiddle with poo poo (renamed DIVs, etc.) that are invisible to the user but these things hook into. Just have to hope the developers are on the ball.

Unfortunately, like it or not, the attitude seems to be becoming that customization and re-inclusion of 'unpopular' functionality is the realm of the add-on. Fortunately, there are other people who like a vanishing, empty tab bar, or a single-image view that doesn't look like a lovely lightbox, and have made add-ons to accommodate those preferences. I'm concerned about them axing Panorama, because I'm apparently one of the handful of people who use it, but they've already said its functionality is being ported to an add-on for those few of us out there. Edit: Alereon explained it in a much more cogent, much less accusatory manner. Bieeanshee fucked around with this message at 19:38 on Jul 7, 2013 |

I've been having trouble with Aurora apparently causing transient hangs over the last several weeks, and this time things got hairy enough that it forced a reboot and didn't leave a crash dump. I know in my case it's not Ghostery, because I haven't used it in months. I do use Adblockplus and Noscript though, which I figured were probably getting into a fight over what to filter and how. Weird thing is, about the time my system bounced, it did log an error about Microsoft Security Essentials failing to update... and similar errors litter my event log. Poking Google brings up results suggesting that MSSE issues can cause hangs and reboots, and reports of it and firefox behaving badly together, but those hits are a few years old. gently caress if I know if they might be related, but I'm going to start checking the event log each time I recover from one of these hangs.
