fishmech posted:I use X-Notifier for an extension that lets me have like 4 different emails checked, and which makes it easy to open tabs for multiple gmail accounts without having to sign in and out. But the guy hasn't gotten it signed and at some point that's going to be an issue. Is there either a way to sign someone else's XPI yourself, or another extension to replicate the functionality? The way it makes it so you don't have to sign in and out is that it opens tabs with different sets of cookies available. If it's hosted on AMO it should be automatically signed; otherwise you can submit it to AMO for signing. It looks like it's already there, though?

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?

That extension was signed, but from what I understand it fetched some resources remotely and saved them to a hard drive with paths provided by the remote resource. These disabled signing and downloaded an evil (likely unsigned, given that it flipped the signing pref) extension. Once signing is enforced, the evil extension would have had to get signed too, but the signing validator ought to catch most of the evil stuff. quote:To which their long-term solution is to get rid of those capabilities entirely and reduce firefox down to a bad copy of chrome, because that is gonna get them market share back for some reason.

lightinwater posted:See all this self-congratulation about how compulsory signing means this exact thing can no longer happen rings hollow to me. An addon was signed that wasn't even subtle in editing Firefox config files to the end users detriment. Now I am mostly ignorant of the exact capabilities of Firefox addons and it may be that addon signing will stop the only vector for bad actors who've managed to get their addon signed, but i doubt it Not sure what self-congratulation you're talking about, but it is true that in this particular case mandatory addon signing would have prevented the second, more evil addon from being executed. It's certainly a failure that the first addon was able to download arbitrary files to arbitrary paths all specified in a remote resource to begin with - listed addons are supposed to undergo a thorough review, but it slipped past whomever was responsible for reviewing it. I suspect the incident will lead to some improvements in the process.

The side effect I've noticed is now my Netflix doesn't autoplay the next episodes of whatever show I'm watching. It's pretty lovely when I'm watching Netflix not at my desk and I have to get up out of bed to hit the space bar twice. Are you running Windows 8.1 or higher? If so, the Netflix Metro app or IE11 is the best way to watch Netflix - other browsers don't get to stream 1080p video from Netflix. Other than that, perhaps you can solve your original problem (lovely ads) with an ad blocker like uBlock Origin.

I looked into the Imgur Uploader thing a little more. Judging by the archived addons page it looks like it was at least semi-official from imgur: http://web.archive.org/web/20151106150712/https://addons.mozilla.org/EN-us/firefox/addon/imgur-uploader/ I asked around and one of the addons.mozilla.org guys checked and said the listing was removed by the addon's devs, and he wasn't sure if they had plans for new versions. Their old support mail was support@imgur.com so it might be worth an e-mail asking what happened to the Firefox Imgur Uploader addon and what their plans for it are.

From Mozilla's blog:quote:As we previously announced, Mozilla has been working to enable playback of HTML5 video content that requires DRM. Last year, we launched with Adobe’s Primetime CDM and now we will soon be testing Firefox support for Google’s Widevine CDM on Windows and Mac OS X. Firefox will download the CDM shortly after users first run Firefox after installing or upgrading. The CDM will be activated when users first interact with a site that uses Widevine. Geemer posted:Then what good is that "Primetime Content Decryption Module provided by Adobe Systems, Incorporated" that Firefox installs automatically? That's for Adobe's Primetime DRM. Many content providers are using that already - Netflix's HTML5 player on Firefox is protected by that, for example. Other DRM schemes are out there like Microsoft's PlayReady and Apple's FairPlay, but I think it's unlikely we'd see those come to Firefox. astral fucked around with this message at 21:47 on Apr 13, 2016 |

Sir Unimaginative posted:What's even the point of an HTML5 EME standard if everyone's married to their own different flavor of it? Think of EME as a more focused and restricted plugin API than the old NPAPI used by Flash, Silverlight, etc. It's there for one very specific purpose - to allow third-party content decryption modules (CDMs) to decode protected media. The big bonus is EME doesn't give them anywhere near the same level of privileges previously available to flash/silverlight, so you can enjoy DRM-protected content without also enjoying the ludicrous number of exploits etc.

actually my reply was a little out-of-date, I looked into it again and it sounds like it doesn't break things anymore because it doesn't do anything at all. It was used for automated testing with different configurations. The preference is removed entirely in Firefox 47+.

RZApublican posted:So I may have messed up a while ago and deleted my Firefox DRM plugin. Is there a way to get it back? Google isn't showing me any downloads, just ways to uninstall it. I'm currently using Firefox 47, if this helps, but it was already uninstalled at least when I was using Firefox 45. I imagine a fresh install should bring it back if it's missing. Primetime (CDM for Adobe DRM) and Widevine (CDM for Google DRM) would show up under the "Plugins" tab of the addons manager.

It seems like it's working, because I can watch Netflix and entries for Widevine being enabled appear in about :config, but the rest is baffling me. Both the Adobe plugin and Widevine DLLs are in the profile folder, which only adds to the confusion. Well, you could check if they're listed in a new profile. Other than that, you could probably test your current one with something on Amazon's streaming service - if it plays something but doesn't ask you to use Silverlight, you've got Widevine.

Maybe it's just the excessive heat but those screenshots and description make it sound anything but simple. Six different toolbar buttons?  quote:Personally, I never used the "ask me every time" even back when it worked, because there are a billion domains on the internet that will try to make cookies. Trying to decide on all of them is kinda futile. I find that the sane way to deal with it is to default to "keep until close" and whitelist sites that I want to keep logins or shopping carts or whatev they're cookie-ing. I've been setting cookie permissions that way for so long that I rarely saw the popup anymore, to the point where when they took away the option I didn't even notice until someone mentioned it. Nowadays though I think a default deny policy with a simple cookie exception UI-providing addon would work for me, so thanks for the suggestion! I'll look into it more closely when I don't feel like I'm boiling alive.

Powered Descent posted:Firefox has gotten horrifically slow for me lately, to the point of being unusable. I'm pretty sure it wasn't just me, since it happened on both my clunky old Linux box at home and on my very nice Macbook Pro at work, and blowing away and re-creating the profile didn't help. I had actually switched over to Chromium, which I hate but at least it worked. On the other hand, Firefox itself is pretty speedy already and the upcoming electrolysis aka multi-process Firefox (something which explicitly is not going to be added to pale moon) is going to make that even better, australis was a great step for development because it enabled sane toolbar/widget code, and they're making it possible to disable system extensions like pocket soon - and hello is being removed in 49 (September 13) anyway. I do agree about the removal of a lot of options (ask me every time cookies  ), but the healthy add-on ecosystem does a lot there.But hey, to each their own.  p.s. when researching pale moon's e10s plan for this post I read a thread on the pale moon forums about e10s and whew boy the sheer volume of arguments from personal incredulity there is truly something

Powered Descent posted:Hmm. Now you have me wondering if the slowdown I've been experiencing was just me after all. (I had tried asking around but it seems just about everyone I know uses Chrome, except for that one Safari weirdo.) Maybe one of my usual extensions doesn't play well with newer Firefox versions? The only extensions I had installed on both my home and work machines were HTTPS Everywhere, Classic Theme Restorer, uBlock Origin and Greasemonkey (with both home and work machines using the YouTube Link Title script, and my work machine also using a script I wrote myself to change the hideous colors on the internal company wiki). I'll do some more experimenting. I'd suggest testing without HTTPS Everywhere - it's anecdotal, but I've heard more about issues caused by that extension than real benefits from it. Personally I use uBlock Origin, NoScript, SALR, Stylish, and I've been trying out Cookie Controller based on a recommendation from earlier this thread. quote:That may well be. And all things being equal, I'm all for cleaner code. But like 99.9% of the user base, I've never written a line of the toolbar/widget code in question. So from my perspective, all Australis did was introduce an ugly interface that looks like a cheap knockoff of Chrome, and take away a bunch of customization options. Fortunately the Classic Theme Restorer extension popped up almost immediately, and kept Firefox tolerable. But from what I've seen so far today, Pale Moon is even better. Yeah, I can totally understand that. I wasn't a fan of some of the changes Australis brought to the UI either, specifically how it tied reload into the address bar (but I got used to it). quote:I don't know. As Firefox critics go, I'm pretty mild. I find things like Pocket and Hello pointless but harmless. The stock Firefox could easily win me back. I mostly just want configurable everything. Configurable everything would certainly be nice, but I can see why Firefox's developers might consider it a nightmare to try to maintain the browser for every possible option and option combination.
