Anyone have any idea how to turn off that new god drat scrolling while dragging stuff to the edge of the screen feature? It keeps triggering when I'm trying to open stuff in new tabs between currently existing tabs/replacing a tab's content by dragging a link up to the tab bar.

Except when it's just the display driver being a buggy pile of poo poo, or Mozilla loving up hardware acceleration again, or their garbage collector still being a dumpster fire, or some random Windows update breaking everything. Mozilla refuses to fix anything related to memory errors unless you can pin them down and force them to accept it's not a hardware issue with your RAM. Their GC has been hosed for years now with open bugs about it that are almost a decade old, or closed ones marked as WONTFIX and WORKSFORME. The latter one is also invariably combined with an absolute lack of effort looking into why it doesn't work for the other person, or why it's suddenly a top crash. Basically never bet on a hardware issue if Firefox is the only program giving you trouble. Of course you should check if it isn't a hardware thing, but in most cases you'll find it is not.

Are you using some kind of addon that might interfere with normal image saving? Imgur is desperately trying to get more traffic to their site, so they can make ad revenue (because just hosting images ends up not being very profitable), so they redirect a bunch of loads of the direct image link to the gallery page. I'm not sure how they detect the difference between an image loading as part of a page versus opening a direct image link, though. Maybe that detection is broken for you?

Klyith posted:When exactly did firefox "bloat out"? Pocket and Firefox Hello (or whatever that video chat feature is (was?) called) are the most recent I can remember. Features that should not belong in a web browser being forced down people's throats unless they install classic theme restorer. In the same browser that removed support for mng because the decoder was 'too large' a long time ago. Now I'm not saying these things slowed down the browser, that was their really poor memory handling, but to say Firefox never experienced bloat is just untrue.

I left that out of my list of 'bloat' features, because I can see its utility and why people would want it, even if I don't want it myself. The big difference between Sync and Pocket is that Sync is just there in the background, not getting in your face if you don't use it. While Pocket forced a non-removable (without CTR) button onto your toolbar and into your context menu.

Vulture Culture posted:Not sure about the context menu, but it's two clicks in FF57/Photon to pull it out of the address bar. I was talking about when it was first introduced. But that's obviously irrelevant nowadays. So let's talk about current issues: Firefox 55.0.1 hosed up my certs database, causing it to randomly stop loading pages on TLS handshakes. I had to delete the certs database file to fix it, and then do it again for 55.0.2, so that was cool. Really made you notice how much stuff is loaded from external sources that use https.

Firefox' tab bar started scrolling 3 tabs per mouse wheel tick at a time all of a sudden and I can't figure out how to get it back to scrolling one tab at a time.  It does it both with TabMixPlus enabled or disabled, going to an older version of TMP also doesn't help. Starting Firefox in safe mode doesn't help either. I found some suggestions that for some bizarre reason it's taking the vertical scroll value from Windows for the amount of tabs to scroll, but obviously I'm not going to ruin the rest of my entire computing experience to fix Firefox' bullshit. Do you guys have any ideas on how to get it back to sane behavior?

Lakitu7 posted:I remember that happening once because I had the option enabled in both FireGestures and TabMixPlus, and I needed to disable it in at least one of them. It might be something to check if you have both of them, or some other extension that might overlap. I've checked all my extensions that interact with tabs. Only TabMixPlus has an option for smooth scroll yes/no. Turning that one off makes it just jump 3 tabs abruptly, which is even worse. Thanks for the suggestion, anyway!

Nalin posted:I would guess that Mozilla linked it into Windows' settings on how many lines to scroll on a mouse wheel event. The Windows default is 3 lines. Try changing Windows to scroll 1 line at a time and see if that makes a difference. If it does, you are probably out of luck. Yup, you got it. As an added bonus: they also tied it to horizontal scrolling separately. So if I change that, it affects how much is scrolled by tilting the mouse wheel. I guess I'll have to

Hey, thanks for the reply. I went and tried updating Setpoint to the newest version and messed with its options: no dice. I also went and tried completely removing Firefox and starting with a new install and a new profile: also no dice. I guess I'm hosed.

Flipperwaldt posted:I'm having trouble with uBlock origin on Firefox for Android. From version 1.14 onwards, it'll hide ads, but refuse to apply cosmetic filters. The element picker also doesn't work properly anymore, in that it doesn't switch tabs automatically anymore (you access the uBlock settings in a different tab on Android), and it doesn't show the overlay anymore, even though the inability to interact with the webpage afterwards suggests it's there. I can't even get 1.14 to work at all on my Firefox for Android. Even with following all the esoteric instructions on the github. The only way to stop it from auto-updating is by disable auto-updating for all addons. In about :config toggle extensions.autoupdate.enabled to false. Obviously this may be a problem if you have several addons that you want to keep up to date, so try to remember you toggled it.

No, they're using some javascript miner to make your browser mine at 20~30% CPU power when on the categories and search result pages. Supposedly this is a trial to see if it's a feasible replacement for ads. But we all know that shady sites will just try to go for as much as possible while trying to keep you from leaving the page. I hope this becomes a new blocklist in uBO that defaults to enabled.

My Firefox for android just updated to 56 and now they've finally added enough webextensions support for me to use the latest version of uBO.

Aside from having to import my settings from file, I've not had any issues. Just make sure to save your settings to a file. And when you've installed the latest version, to import them and also clear filter caches and update filters. I had some weirdness from cached pages from before importing my settings, but those issues resolved themselves by now.

With Firefox 55 poo poo was completely broken on Android because there was basically no support for webextensions while addons were already moving over to it. See the whole uBlock Origin thing.

Every time Firefox crashes for me, whether it's a tab or the whole thing, I write in the crash reporter comment box that they should fix their several-year-old GC bugs instead of sticking their fingers into their ears and going "LALALALA FAULTY RAM LALALALA!" I've only been wrong twice in the last year. Those two times were a new top crash that was immediately WONTFIXed and a different 6 year-old bug. But, gotta push those new and exciting changes that everybody is waiting for with bated breath!

I decided to hold off on updating my desktop until the addon situation is at least a little bit better, but I did update the Android version. Holy poo poo, the new tab page is completely worthless now! The tiles with most-visited sites are now lovely little favicons with barely any indication where they lead to. And it defaults to having half the screen being taken up by "recommended by Pocket" clickbait "articles". Then, when you turn those off it shows you "highlights" which are random domains you visited some time ago, instead of actual pages you visited. And if you tap one of them it'll just go to apparently a random page on that domain, regardless if you ever visited that one or not, while the label only shows you the domain. So you can't even be sure if you'll be sent to where you want to go. Is there any way to fix this mess? Or alternatively, what browsers for Android exist that are not Chrome and also support uBlock Origin?

Doesn't support uBlock Origin. Unless there's a secret version around somewhere, but the version on the MS store just says "This app does not work on your device." Right now I'm weighing the positives/negatives of switching to Samsung Internet Browser by Samsung and the separate ABP for Samsung Internet Browser app. Advantage: New tab page is actually usable. Disadvantages: Having to use ABP with no ability to add custom filters and no "I Don't Care About Cookies" addon to make up for the inability to block those through ABP. I think I might just have to make a html file with the pages I frequent and see if I can't get Firefox to display that as new tab page.

Freakazoid_ posted:So I have to use flash for a while longer because reasons. With the new firefox, loading flash content on a website works fine, but loading flash files from the hard drive doesn't work, I just get a blank white screen. IE/Chrome can load flash files from the hard drive just fine. ublock origin and umatrix don't appear to be blocking anything. What's going on? It's a new "security" feature that's been in place since 56. Blocking Flash content from any protocol but http(s) is somehow supposed to be more safe. There might be an about :config switch for it, but I wouldn't expect that to last. I've taken to just downloading the standalone Flash player and setting swf files to open with that.
