The gear icon next to the upload button in the top right. It added itself to the bottom of Youtube's menu.

These menus are part of the HTML5 Specification. It seems only Firefox supports them at the moment, and there's no preference (yet?) to disable them.

You could write a greasemonkey script that would remove the contextmenu attribute from every element on a page, though the JavaScript on the page could always mess with this I suppose. Personally I would buy a mouse with a back button.

Edit: ^^^ The dom.event.contextmenu.enabled preference doesn't apply to these menu items.

Edit 2: I wrote a greasemonkey script for MDN. Really simple in this case since it's one menu attached to the body tag.

code:

// ==UserScript==
// @name        Disable MDN Menus
// @description Disables added context menu items from MDN
// @include     http://developer.mozilla.org/*
// @include     https://developer.mozilla.org/*
// @version     1
// @grant       none
// ==/UserScript==

(function () {
document.body.removeAttribute("contextmenu") 
}());

Unless you're using Menu Editor apparently vv

It wont restore menu items you've changed with Menu Editor, it'll just remove the ones a site has added.

I used to use Menu Editor, but it had a tendency to screw things up. Now I use a custom userstyle to hide menu items I never use (including back).

Well if it makes you feel any worse, I prefer my approach and it works fine for me!

I use the following userstyle and it works fine for me.

code:

@-moz-document url-prefix(http), url-prefix(https), url-prefix(ftp), url-prefix(file) {
  img:-moz-broken {
    -moz-force-broken-image-icon: 1;
/*  If you always want to collapse the image size:
    width: 24px;
    height: 24px;
*/
  }
}

Though if the image lacks size attributes it'll collapse down to 24x24px and you won't be able to read the alt text.*

It used to be the case that if a broken image had no alt text it still wouldn't show an icon, giving no indication there was supposed to be an image there. That was an issue on these forums because Waffle Images. It seems that behaviour's changed in Firefox now, though I still prefer the old (old) way of always having the icon and border visible to make it obvious that something's missing.

* I also use a greasemonkey script that copies the alt text to the title attribute if no title is present so the alt text will appear as a tooltip.

I'm using Classic Theme Restorer, Tab Mix Plus, Status-4-Evar and some custom CSS.

From the previous page:

Now if only I could find a way to remove the animations from when you open the bookmark menu or such. It's slight, but it is drat annoying to someone that turns off all animations by default.

I use the following CSS to disable most (all?) of the annoying animations:

code:

* {
 transition-property: none !important;
}

This interferes with TabMixPlus dynamically adding a close button to the pointed at tab. You still get a button, but it hasn't got an x in it and it's all narrow and suppository-shaped.

I just did a test and I didn't see the same issue. That CSS rule is a nuke-all-animations-from-orbit rule though so it could have undesired effects. I've been using it for a long time and haven't had any problems though.

I hate UI animations. I'm pretty sure they're the reason I kill.

Edit: The following code is more specific to the sliding and fading panel things:

code:

.panel-arrowcontainer {
  transition-property: none !important;
}

YouTube has switched to HTML5 video for me too and now 1080p seems to no longer be a thing.* I'm on FF35 and I was under the impression that it wouldn't be supported until the next release. Perhaps that is the case.

With regard to YouTubeCenter (it's great), I'd bet there'll never be another stable version because YouTube are constantly changing poo poo and breaking it.

* It amuses me slightly that Chrome is also unable to play 1080p video because of a DXVA bug.

Yes, the latest HTTP DASH enhancements are required for better than 720p now, these are slated for Firefox 37.

Jesus, it's taking forever for Mozilla to get their poo poo together when it comes to MSE.

Weird, playback is very smooth for me on a GTX 680 and i7 4790k, perhaps this is related to combination of slow CPUs, bad drivers, and chrome doing work on a thread poorly chosen for blocking characteristics.

I have a modern system and have no problems playing 1080p60 content with DXVA (or software rendering) in other software, it's just chrome. 720p60 is fine but 1080p60 is a slideshow.

So now YouTube have switched me back to the flash player. I'd disabled the plug-in too. Oh well, at least I get 1080p.

I'm getting the same image corruption. It is annoying. This seems to be the appropriate bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1139430.

Well technically there's an "bug open for it". But really its just "one guy reported it". If you're having the same issue please join the bug and post feedback.

It seems to be site-specific too, it's happened a lot to me on Amazon and Marks and Spencer, but I haven't seen it on any image-heavy threads here on SA, most other sites are fine too.

edit: I just updated to 36.0.1 and there's no change

Can some one tell me how to adblock this pop up thing on twitter please.

I spent an hour yesterday trying to do this. At first It seems trivial to block:

code:

###signup-dialog
##.modal-overlay

But then scrolling doesn't work.

I started working on a greasemonkey script but I was short on time (and skill) so no progress yet*. I'm going to keep trying because that thing is loving annoying.

* It doesn't help that twitter's code is labyrinthine.

That second line re-enables scrolling.

D'oh.

edit: If you like content to start somewhere in the upper 70% of your monitor you might also want to try something like this:

code:

.ProfileCanopy--large, .ProfileCanopy--large .ProfileCanopy-header {
    max-height: 150px !important;
}

I was wondering what the hell was going on. I went to the github page to see if there'd been a new version (addons.mozilla.org is uselessly out of date) and there was nothing there. I really hope uBlock doesn't turn to poo poo.

Edit: Now the new guy is asking for donations

I use self destructing cookies, it does this and also deletes local store javascript things.

I use this too. The problem with it though is that adding sites to the whitelist overrides your other cookie settings. Like deleting after expiration and denying third-party ones. So if you whitelist a site that you use, that site can then set third party cookies.

I keep meaning to email the developer about this but I'm pretty lazy.

This makes sense to me, why would you use Firefox APIs in Firefox? It's much better to use JibberJabberScript library vomitus all the way down.

Don't forget to install nope.js, you'll need its package mangler.
