The Dark One posted:I saw a couple articles mention that in 10.0, the forward button only shows up when you hit back. I just updated, and my forward button is there regardless of where I am in the history of that tab. Do you have any buttons between the 'forward' button and the location bar? If so, it'll stay around.

HalloKitty posted:I could swear I tried this at one time, but maybe I was just used to ending scrolling with a flick of the wheel so much that that's what I wanted. Either way, it's not really important to most, and I understand the complaint looks pretty ridiculous Aw, it doesn't look ridiculous. Everyone's got their own preferences for browsing; I'm just happy to see that someone else uses autoscroll. From the bugs that occasionally do plague it in various Firefox builds, like certain page elements not scrolling at the same rate/time as others, I was afraid it was a dying thing.

Alereon posted:HTTP Pipelining is now strongly recommended I wouldn't cite Ben Kerensa's blog there. His 'benchmarks' involve accessing google.com five times with pipelining enabled and five times with pipelining disabled. It doesn't show results from any other websites, and with such a small sample size there are hardly even enough 'trials' to make any reasonable conclusions - even regarding accessing google with pipelining. As much was noted in the bugzilla bug to enable it by default. A slightly more rigorous comparison was posted in the comments to Ben's blog. Those two are a bit of a better read, I'd say.

Dominoes posted:Firefox is broken on my laptop. The program will often become unresponsive, especially when watching youtube videos. Clicking anywhere in the program will have no response for about 15 seconds. I uninstalled, reinstalled. Tried the soft reset in the menus, then tried deleting the profile file in appdata while Firefox was uninstalled. I even upgraded (in-place) to Windows 8, and it's still broken. My girlfriend's now having a similar problem with Firefox on her laptop. I'd wager that is most likely caused by the flash plugin. As mentioned, check its version. Also, check your graphics card driver version.

It doesn't happen every time, and I can refresh the frame until Firefox notices things properly, but it's still annoying. I see you're using SALR, so as a workaround you might try disabling the forum-based video embeds and enabling SALR's video embedder.

Fangs404 posted:Does anyone know what uBlock does differently than ABP? I can't find any details on how uBlock actually works. uBlock is based on (was split from) HTTP Switchboard: https://github.com/gorhill/httpswitchboard/wiki/Adblock-Plus-memory-consumption quote:Summary: Where Adblock Plus ("ABP") indiscriminately injects over 13,000 generic CSS rules into every page and frames, HTTP Switchboard ("HTTPSB") injects only a handful generic CSS rules at most. HTTPSB's approach is to perform a quick web page survey in order to dramatically narrow down the generic CSS selectors which need to be injected in web pages and frames. Examples: on wired.com ABP injects over 13,000 generic CSS selectors while HTTPSB injects only 8 generic CSS selectors; and on a page with no ads, ABP still injects over 13,000 generic CSS selectors while HTTPSB injects none.

slidebite posted:Sorry if this has been asked before, but I looked at the past few pages and didn't see it mentioned. From the addon's description: quote:Camelizer v2.5 forces the toolbar icon to appear during its first run. Address bar and addon bar icons are no longer an option. Apologies to users who these changes may annoy, but recent internal changes to Firefox have required them. I did a quick all-file search through Camelizer's code, and it looks like the author isn't actually supporting Australis toolbar buttons (Firefox 29+). This is the addon author's fault, but they're blaming Firefox. It looks like they have a newer 'developer' version that fixes the icon disappearing problem here but that still doesn't support Australis so you can still only place the toolbar button in the navigation bar. If you have any contact with the author, suggest they add Australis support and things will work just fine. You can also tell them that it's very simple to implement; with Australis, they don't even need to bother with saving where the user put the toolbar button like they are for the legacy UI toolbar button. edit: clarification astral fucked around with this message at 22:04 on May 16, 2015 |

WattsvilleBlues posted:browser.search.showOneOffButtons set to false no longer brings back the old Search box behaviour in Firefox 43. Anyone know if there's a different switch I can throw? I've tried to get used to the new behaviour but it's messing with over a decade of muscle memory. Wow, that's a bummer. Back when I tried it, the newer search UI seemed very hurried and incomplete, so I disabled it with that preference. Looking at its original tracking bug now, I understand why - it was hurried and incomplete. I hope they've improved it since then.

I don't believe it's there, yet. I recommend using IE for Netflix if you're on Windows 8 or higher since it lets you go above 720p.

YggiDee posted:Okay, what's Add-on signing, and why did it disable everything I love? It's a misguided attempt to cut down on malware addons. Extensions hosted on addons.mozilla.org are automatically signed, and self-hosted extensions are easy to get signed now. It's likely there are updated versions of your extensions that are already signed, so you should try to find these. Otherwise, as a temporary measure you can turn off the signature verification in about :config, but that will only last until Firefox 44.

Botnit posted:Thanks, disabling hardware acceleration seemed to fix it, what's the deal with that? Is running without hardware accel even noticeable / impacting anything? It just puts some extra burden on your CPU when watching videos in Flash (sidenote: youtube isn't/shouldn't be using Flash anymore with recent Firefox versions, so that's why you had no issues there). If you want to troubleshoot it some more, since the hardware acceleration setting worked around the problem, you might check on your graphics card drivers - if there's a newer version available, it might fix the root problem and allow you to re-enable the hardware acceleration. Of course, it's also possible that you were updated by Win10 to a newer driver version that Flash wasn't playing well with, or it could be Flash at fault, in which case a future driver version and/or Flash update might fix things.

I've just spent an hour setting up Pale Moon as close to Firefox as I can, only to find it doesn't support x264 video. 'Laggy' in what respect? Multi-process Firefox isn't too far away if you're worried about UI responsiveness; you can already try it with Firefox Developer Edition if you're interested. You can also try the pretty standard troubleshooting steps of running Firefox in safe mode or a new profile to see if your addons or settings are causing whatever issues you're running into.

I had to move back to the release channel because not even safe mode was helping. What flash version are you using? I've had a lot of flash-related issues lately with 20.0.0.286 (the latest). It might be worth considering a test downgrade to Flash 18 ESR: https://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/licensing/win/install_flash_player_18_plugin.exe to see if that helps.

Havana Affair posted:Firefox suddenly stopped remembering my tabs from a previous session. Instead it opens the default Firefox homepage. I can restore the previous window through history and all the settings seem to be correct: remember tabs, don't delete history when closing the browser. I'm also using the latest version (44.0). This is very annoying since I usually have 10+ tabs open at all times as a reading list of sorts and a couple of pinned tabs. Anyone have any ideas? If the settings are correct (the important one is the "When Firefox starts" in the general tab) the only time this happens for me is if I accidentally have multiple Firefox windows open and close the window I care about before a debug console or other window/dialog. I actually keep the setting on that warns me if I'm about to close multiple tabs to stop me from making this mistake - if I ever see the warning, it means I've screwed up and I can click Cancel.

I haven't had any problems on my laptop. It's possible that for some reason Firefox thought your addons weren't installed by you. Try clicking 'Remove' for an addon affected by this, restart Firefox (to clear out some saved extension information that may be corrupted), then install the addon again and see if that works.
