Holy poo poo, Text Link finally got updated after being dead in the water for 2 years and works properly again and will apparently also work with e10s.

slidebite posted:I am also having a pdf issue with FF. If you're lucky you may be able to fix it by going to your Firefox profile folder and renaming/deleting mimeTypes.rdf. It'll create a new one that'll reset all those settings to default and maybe fix your problem if it got corrupted somehow. (If you rename it, you can always just restore the file if it didn't work.) That was how I fixed my Firefox always wanting to download SWF files, at least.

Huh weird. AMO's review process must be really behind then, because it pushed version 0.9.3.5 to me on September 30th. But then when I look at the site, it says its date is April 19th... Whatever, at least Origin isn't being left to die.

Alternately: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<some string>.default for Windows 7.

slidebite posted:I just built a new computer and noticed that ublock Origin is screwing with my uploads to Imgur. I was getting upload failiures 75% of the time (but not always) but as soon as I disabled it, it 100% worked. Is there a way to disable what is screwy? I haven't noticed anything like that. But I'd start by opening the request log to see if anything blocked pops up while uploading. And then you could either disable the responsible filter or add an exception.

Firefox 43's 64-bit version is now actually on the downloads page instead of being hidden on the FTP. My big question now, though, is if it'll ruin my addons with hilarious incompatibilities or not. You few brave pioneers that already ventured to 64-bit, what's your experience so far?

I went and bit the bullet on 64-bit, setting it to install in \program files\ instead of \program files (86)\, so now I can at least run 32-bit if 64-bit breaks anything. But so far, so good. It actually feels more responsive than 32-bit, so that's pretty nice.

It's Not Chrome™ is the main reason for me. Whenever I have to use Chrome, I get annoyed with it really fast and actually prefer IE over it. I haven't given Edge a try yet, since I haven't dipped my toes in Windows 10 yet.

It's because of the fancy new webm and Twitter integration. Especially Twitter loads a bit later than when the page thinks it's done loading and makes the browser go to the correct point, so you get hosed up alignment.

I use Unchecky as an extra layer of protection against OpenCandy type crapware installing along with programs I want to use. Obviously still keep your eyes peeled while installing things, but it's great for keeping your parents' computer from filling up with toolbars and junk. General question: Is e10s or going to fix Firefox being the literal worst at garbage collecting its memory? I'd like for it to not keep a gigabyte of wasted RAM for old poo poo I browsed a long time ago; especially when it still chugs pretty bad if using a lot of memory, even with 64-bits.

hooah posted:Would this Unchecky catch that? If it really doesn't give any custom install options or checkboxes, then Unchecky won't do poo poo. Basically it just checks for installers that have extra crap enabled by default and disables the checkboxes for the extra cruft, giving a warning if you re-enable them.

At work which requires that I use a certain version of Firefox ESR (38.6.0 at the moment) I am able to see embedded tweets on SA. Yet at home with the latest (44 something?) it doesn't work. I was going to try a nightly and maybe even find an installer to roll it back to 38 to test it at home but is there something glaringly obvious I might be missing that is preventing it from working on 44?

With the Firefox Android 45 update it decided to start showing the three dots menu button for me, while my phone has a hardware menu button. How do I get rid of this? Preferably through a simple about :config change, but I'll settle for a simple addon. I keep hitting it when I want to switch tabs.

Alereon posted:This was an intended change for Firefox and is standard for Android apps since Kit Kat. New devices have a hardware menu button but it doesn't actually invoke the menu, so the three dots menu always has to exist within the application.

Alereon posted:This right here is why I get so drat annoyed when I see people suggesting disabling hardware acceleration as part of troubleshooting, it's just creating mysterious ssues for people down the road. To be fair, Firefox had some serious hardware acceleration issues with various AMD cards and drivers not too long ago. It was either "turn off hardware acceleration" or "go back to a previous version of Firefox" at that point.

Gerudo Rivera posted:Sometime in the past several weeks, most Vine videos stopped playing in Firefox (either embedded on or on the Vine page itself). I'm using uBlock Origin and the problem persists even when I unblock Vine, so I'm not sure what the deal is. Anyone else had this problem lately? It's because of this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1247496 Basically it's something on Vine's end but apparently they fixed it anyway and it'll probably trickle down to the actual release. In the mean time you could use the various workarounds in that bug report. But considering Vine is dumb, see this as an opportunity to break the habit of using it.

Sir Unimaginative posted:Question: Is there a not garbage theme that's pretty much just the default theme (no button icon/tab changes etc) but restores title bar color to Firefox in Windows 10? It'd be nice if I could tell if Firefox is the active window at a glance. I think Classic Theme Restorer has an option for this, but I don't have Windows 10 to test it on. I mainly just use it to get rid of the lovely hamburger menu and get the Firefox button back in the top-left. But it's got a whole load of options.

Is there any way to stop the bookmarks toolbar from appearing every time I abuse it as a dumping ground for temporary bookmarks? It started 'helpfully' enabling the toolbar whenever something gets added to it ever since Firefox 50 rolled out and it's actually getting pretty annoying. Do you guys know anything that does not involve changing my workflow? Google sure doesn't help because it's flooded with people not knowing how to enable it in the first place (probably the reason why they introduced this behavior).

You have to keep in mind that even with those API's added in, they're basically requiring a full rewrite of the add-ons. Right after doing the same for multiprocess support. A lot of add-on authors already didn't feel like going through the hassle to add multiprocess support to theirs because of the hassle. Some basically added a killswitch to keep the latest version from declaring itself compatible with modern Firefox (Element Properties did this by changing the compatibility tag to go up to Firefox 49 instead of just 35+ or whatever it was). And those that did actually go through the hassle of rewriting their add-on to support multiprocess now have to go through an even more extensive rewrite to work with WebEx, just a few months later. It's completely understandable that they don't want to go through that again, especially if it becomes harder or impossible to do the things the old version of the add-on could do. And who's to say Mozilla doesn't decide to make yet another radical change all of a sudden and make them go through it again?
