Klyith posted:It was really cool when my response to whatever the brilliant new UI innovation coming from moz was "whatever, I'll get an extension to revert that poo poo." Literally the only reason I still use Firefox is its the only browser out there that still lets me have tabs at the bottom of the screen, just above the task bar. Every update they make it harder to keep them down there.

And now when I middle-click to open a video, it doesn't start playing on its own. I would love it if when they change something on a whim, they'd add a button in options to undo that change.

Every now and then, maybe once or twice a month, I'll start my computer up and Firefox will restore my previous session, usually blasting youtube much to my surprise. In about:config I have resume from crash, resume session once, and resuming after os restart all set to false but yet this keeps happening. Is there another option I'm missing that I need to disable to keep this from happening? Or is Windows itself somehow saving my Firefox session? I'm not sure if its ever done this on a restart, as I pretty much never restart my computer. Just full shutdowns.

Why must they slowly and perfectly kill my ability to have tabs at the bottom of my screen? Horrible transparency that makes it extremely annoying to read tab text, and now it overlaps with the Find section.  Thanks guys, you're really knocking it out of the park with these updates.

astral posted:Wow, I didn't know Firefox let you put tabs on the bottom. They don't really, its taking more and more effort to force them down there. Like 6 years ago it was just a button you could press, then it became addons, now I'm pretty sure I'm running some poorly coded scripts to do it. I've flipped through a few different themes since the newest update, and none of them are able to get rid of the automatic transparency on the inactive tabs. I'm tempted to go back to browsing like its 1999 and just have one firefox window per tab because this is extremely frustrating.

PirateBob posted:Is there really no way to make Firefox move to the tab to the left when closing a tab? I have the Focus On Left Tab After Closing extension installed, and I'm pretty sure thats what you want. Klyith posted:You do you, but if you aren't using strong, unique passwords for everything you are tinfoiling yourself into far more insecurity than whatever your paranoid imagination comes up with about password managers. If you can remember them all in your head you are doing passwords wrong in the modern world (or you have rain man memorization ability). I use a "single" password that is 13 digits long of gibberish, that I modify slightly depending on the title of the website. It's pretty great since it's extremely secure and easy to remember. Someone might be able to crack the pattern, but they'd require like half a dozen leaked passwords to figure it out.

Also cases where hackers compromise websites to steal info on entry (ie you fill in the text box with a password or credit card number, and instead of securely going to the site gets transparently copied to the badguys). I'm tempted to post some here to see some brains melt trying to decipher it.

Has anyone figured out a restart button for the newer versions yet? Edit: (I don't care about keeping tabs between restarts, I'm dicking around in my userChrome and am tired of manually exiting and starting it again, especially when half the time a message pops up saying "Firefox is still running!") Double edit: better yet, can anyone tell me how to add a "space" to the bottom of the window, so firefox stops placing things behind the tabs I've forced down there?  Finally got my tabs working mostly correct, but now they are on top of whatever is at the bottom of the window. Most of the time its fine, but on certain websites it makes navigation difficult (such as covering up the time progress bar in spotify).

Can anyone tell me where firefox moved the ability to save my shipping address to autofill immediately when I open up the 'enter your address' part of a website? All of the online guides tell me to go Options>Privacy>Autofill>Saved Addresses, but that doesn't exist.  Did they remove it or just move it? Or is there a extension that exists now that does it automatically?

I'll check that when I get some time this weekend, but it does happen with a single window with a single tab (more frequently if it's youtube). If I play a full screen game on one monitor and firefox YouTube on the other, it happens far more often.

Klyith posted:Is your main monitor with the game a 144hz or variable refresh rate one? Monitors with different refresh rates tends to cause wonky behaviors that MS has never quite fixed. No, it's 60hz I believe. It's pretty ancient, and the issue has only started within the last month or so. No hardware changes.

So I did some more thorough digging since I had more time tonight, and it's my loving vpn thats using all of my GPU. It would randomly spike up and use upwards of 60% at a time, leaving firefox and whatever game I'm playing with very little to share so both would slow down. Thanks for the help anyway, it was nice to learn about about :performance which I'm sure will be useful in some future problem.
