I have two plug in questions:

- Is there a working British English spell checker?

- Is there a plugin that allows you too see where things like twitter links are pointing by just hovering over them?

Thanks.

Are you saying that when you install the en-gb version of Firefox, the spell check doesn't work as expected?

I have this installed, but it hasn't been updated?

I'm using 13.0.1. In the last few weeks (I think) images and embedded youtube vids will look like this some times when I scroll down quickly, it's not every time but enough:

Is this even firefox related I can't even think of a word that describes that to google, is is tearing?

I thought I had figured this out but obviously not. Can some one please explain how I can block the "who to follow" section on twitter using adblock please?

I have tried a few different ways, but none of them work. Like this http://howdoitknow.net/tutorials/how-to-hide-who-to-follow-section-on-twitter/

It's possible it's out of date?

# ¿ Jan 23, 2013 17:13

Jippa: Feb 13, 2009

Yeah I've tried using that. I select the box just around "who to follow" and it says it's called "div,class:flex-module".

I add this but it hides the trending box below it as well which I'd like too keep.

e- excellent I've done it.

twitter.com##.module.wtf-module.js-wtf-module.has-content

You have to use W and N on your keyboard to "zoom" in and out until you find the proper object (H will hide the legend if it's in the way). For that particular box it is twitter.com##.module.wtf-module.js-wtf-module.has-content which is one step higher in the page structure than what you were doing.

Thanks mate, I just this minute found that and edited my previous post. Thanks for looking into it though.

Is there a specific reason that people have moved too chrome? Or is it just personal preference?

I have chrome but I don't really see the difference on a browsing level, also ff seems to have more interesting add ons?

# ¿ Feb 12, 2013 10:39

Using the latest version of ff can I change the refresh button back to it's old size (spergy I know)?

Ad block plus question. When I right click some ads, seemingly randomly it will give two options. One is what I would expect, 'ABP image' then a choice of at what level you want to block etc.

Another option it gives me is just "disable element" (no ABP options like I described) which some times doesn't stick and the ad might come back when I load the page again.

Any one know why this is?

# ¿ May 25, 2013 08:25

Jippa: Feb 13, 2009

A few months back I got good advice from this thread about using ad block plus too hide the "who to follow" section on twitter (which annoys me for some reason).

Randomly yesterday it just popped back up and I can't seem too get rid of it?

div, class:flex-module

div, class: module wtf-module, js-wtf-module has-content

I remember there being confusion between these two elements which are millimetres apart on screen. Any way, it doesn't seem to matter which I block I can't get rid of the "who to follow" box.

Any body have any ideas?

Yeah I've tried every thing. Entering it manually, using the tool to select etc.

It worked perfectly for months and then just stopped? I notice I'm getting ads and sponsored links on twitter as well. is this just a coincidence or were they previously being blocked and some thing changed?

# ¿ Jun 3, 2013 09:46

Jippa: Feb 13, 2009

Can some one please explain to me how to implement this (it apparently stops twitter from embedding images)?

I have just copied and pasted a comment so I might have screwed it up if it doesn't make sense?

@ra0lq Raol

hold on, guys. Here is the trick. If you know about customizing sites in firefox/chrome/safari with custom CSS, just add following to the customization file

ol#stream-items-id > li.stream-item > div.tweet div.media {

display: none;

}

Here is complete setting for firefox

@-moz-document url-prefix(https://twitter.com) {

ol#stream-items-id > li.stream-item > div.tweet div.media {

display: none;

}

}

e- thanks YggiDee

Is possible to only selectively clear parts of your cache? Say could I make a grooveshark folder or partition or some thing so I don't have to re download songs but clear could every thing else?

I have the latest firefox with the latest flash block plug in. In the last 24 hours I have not been able to "click" the "f" to run the video. Disabling the plugin works so it isn't anything else?

Anyone else having this?

Yes it was youtube for me as well.

I also have another unrelated issue. Sometimes the website link icons from my favourited bar stay on screen until I click them. It's not a huge problem but annoying enough for me to notice it happening multiple times a day. I haven't clicked them or any thing it will always be just one when I minimise firefox.

Will HTTP/2 speed up streaming or is it just to do with web browsing?

# ¿ Feb 19, 2015 09:36

dpbjinc posted:

HTTP/2 compresses headers into something more compact. For instance, here's the response for a first visit to forums.somethingawful.com:
code:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: nginx
Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2015 03:40:23 GMT
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
Connection: close
Cache-Control: private, no-cache, pre-check=0, post-check=0
Expires: 0
Pragma: no-cache
X-Backend: forums5
Everything before the colons except the "X-Backend" are standard keywords. HTTP/2 has a custom compression scheme that lets it shrink that text into something humans can't read but that computers can still easily understand. How much that helps streaming depends on how the streaming is done. If it's transmitted over HTTP, those headers can add up over time, and having a more efficient protocol is a great benefit. However, it's not a magic cure for video stuttering; it's a more general improvement meant to save tiny amounts of bandwidth in a very large number of places.

Thanks

I have two requests for addons that I have seen either mentioned or asked about in the thread but can't remember. First is one that automatically clicks the notification that the site uses cookies (this may be EU only?).

Second a working alternative to flashblock?

Why can't I see most of the buttons on the new YouTube player when it's embedded?

I've tried enabling everything Google/YT-related in uMatrix as well as completely disabling uMatrix and uBlock, but no luck. Everything's peachy on YouTube proper.

I get this some times in chrome. I also get a thing where the audio and the video start out of sync. Other times it works perfectly though?

Do I understand correctly that you just want an addon that adds a right-click option on all sites' images to rehost them on imgur? I'm really surprised this doesn't exist already.

That was the add on I had that just stopped working.

I just googled and found a reddit post, why do you think they removed it?

uBlock worked after a reinstallation but now it seems to gently caress up with some websites (mainly eBay).
When I click on a link, it just gets stuck but it's ok when I open in a new tab. Maybe some Javascript fuckery?

Anyone have the same problem?

It works for me until I close firefox, I just had to re install it this morning.
