Plug-in "click to play" (click-to-activate) is now available in Nightly builds. This keeps all plug-ins deactivated until a user clicks on a plug-in object, at which point all plug-ins are activated for that page. They hope to have this feature and the ability to remember settings on a per-site basis available for Firefox 14, but it may not be ready in time.

Seriously, Noscript is a nice security tool if you're willing to put up with the hassle, but it should never, ever, ever be the default behavior of Firefox. This proposal of click-to-start is a reasonable attempt at compromise, but I'll have to see it in action to form a meaningful opinion on it.

Is there a way, preferably an extension, to block images/adds based on the url they link to when clicked? The name of the image is something like http://www.goodsite.com/stringofnumbers.jpg. Mousing over it shows a link to http://www.badsite.com/whatever. I want to block images that link to "badsite", but I don't want to block "goodsite". Adblock Plus doesn't work since it only looks at the name of the image, not where it links to I guess. Any ideas on this, I found the extension BlockSite, which breaks the hyperlink of the picture, but the ads themselves still show up.

NihilCredo posted:When you open the NoScript menu, you can click on multiple domains before closing it, so you only need one reload. Maybe you got confused with RequestPolicy, which unfortunately doesn't work that way. I think he means the tendency for some sites to not load until you permit a domain, refresh, then see like five more pop up which also have to be permitted, then you refresh again, and sometimes do this again and again before the poo poo actually works. Temporarily Allow All This Page gets around it alright but it also permits known-lovely domains and sometimes STILL doesn't get around this nested-loading stuff. I use NoScript and love it, but I'm willing to put up with it for the security benefits. Trying to get any of my non-tech-savvy friends or family to use it is nearly impossible, however, so some kind of click-to-enable feature would be a good middle-ground for average users, so long as it's either off by default or really really easy to tweak. Similarly, I've seen mention that Firefox's new image viewing thing (centered on black backdrop) can't be disabled without a third-party addon. Is there anything that allows this change without additional overhead, like a userchrome.css edit or something? I don't mind it that much, but sometimes I appreciate the old single-image-viewing style for specific purposes.

The "bug" linked on there actually led me to instructions on how to do it. It was really easy (using PaleMoon here so it was slightly different, no omni.ja file): 1) Open ..\Pale Moon\res\ 2) Open TopLevelImageDocument.css 3) Comment out the whole @media not print block (wrap with /* and */ at the start and end), like this: code:

I've been wanting to get rid of some Firefox extensions for a while, but for some reason whenever I go to the addons menu the extensions part of it is completely blank despite themes/plugins showing up fine. Is there something obvious I'm missing? The extensions themselves are working fine, they just aren't showing up in the addons menu for some reason. I tried restarting Firefox in safe mode but got the same result.

Not sure if this is the best place to ask but, about two days ago, Gmail turned into some kind of abomination of design. They had been threatening it for a while now, but it had always been optional... until now. Now it's forced and there's no option to change it back and the "themes" available don't make it any better. Every time I open Gmail it's disheartening. Please, somebody tell me there is a legendary hero somewhere who thought ahead and created some sort of Greasemonkey script or an extension or a stylesheet or sorts that I can load into my Firefox and fix this abomination.

Gmail is fine if you use the compact density and text buttons. And any leaks are almost certainly the fault of a bad extension leaking references to compartments.

The gmail talk is weirding me out, because I've been stuck with that new layout for months now. My condolences to the latest victims. On the brighter side, now you can remove poo poo on the sidebar that you don't actually use (like phone, buzz, etc) and the message selection and manipulation interface stays put at the top of the screen instead of scrolling off.

Holy crap, new Gmail is fine. Get over it. Or whine about it some more, then grudgingly click either of these two links. Does anyone have any idea why the Addons Manager won't find updates for my addons until the updates themselves are over three months old? It only just now discovered an update for Adblock Plus; an update that evidently went live on January 31st. It's been like this ever since the manager was moved from its own little window into a tab. I check for updates manually once a week, but why bother having that functionality if it's not going to detect updates until some kind of months-late automatic push happens?

Kyle Huey has a neat blog post up about the memory leak cleanup functionality coming in Firefox 15. In short, data related to the sites you have open (such as compiled JavaScript) is held in "compartments." These compartments are deleted from memory when the browser is done with them (should be when the page is closed), but sometimes bugs in add-ons (or, less commonly, the browser) mean that the compartment is still being referenced, so it can't be removed and is leaked. This new functionality detects when the page is closed and breaks all references to its compartment, allowing it to be deleted regardless of what buggy add-ons or code are still referencing it. The upside is that this reduces memory leaked during their tests by 80%, the downside is that buggy code that would have previously caused a leak may now throw an exception, which could break some things. They have about 18 weeks until this hits the release channel though (6 each in Nightly, Aurora, Beta), which should be enough time for add-on authors to find and fix breakage.
