That's strange, I'm using Tab Mix Plus 0.4.0.3 and all the usual ways of pulling up the addon manager work fine. E: Probably because I haven't got the notification for the FF17 update yet. Hm.

Maybe its a specific setting I have in TabMixPlus, but it's a known issue over at there forums with lots of people complaining, apparently their current dev build fixes this. I'll probably just wait for the update to get patched through Firefox since it's not a big deal.

I'll never understand why (non-abandoned) add-ons have trouble fixing their stuff before the final release of a given version. Everyone should know by now that there's a new release every 6 weeks, and that there's plenty of time to test your code against nightlies, alphas, and betas.

The Release Notes for FF17 claim that it supports ECMAScript's String.contains : https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/contains But I can’t get it to work. Is this because I am stupid?

I know it's a long shot, but here it goes. Is there any way to permanently block a plugin from re-enabling itself, or at least get Firefox to throw up a prompt when one is changed? Oracle in their wisdom always re-enable Java when you install updates and because I didn't remember to disable it again I got popped by an exploit last night. The only thing that saved me was MCE and Windows firewall throwing up an allow/deny prompt. If there's anyway to setup a permanent kill file similar to how you could block certain ActiveX controls in IE would be great.

You could set plugins.click_to_play to true, but that would work on everything, including flash or quicktime or whatever else you have installed. That wouldn't stop Java from re-enabling itself, but Firefox wouldn't actually load the plugin without your consent.

I didn't know you could do this, is there then any reason to have flashblock installed as an addon? (assuming it uses extra RAM or something)

Modus Trollens posted:I didn't know you could do this, is there then any reason to have flashblock installed as an addon? With Flashblock, you can activate individual instances of Flash or Silverlight on any page. So you can load a video that's relevant and leave the ads blocked. The in-built Firefox plugin blocking either blocks or activate all instances of a plugin on a page. All you x64 lovers can kiss goodbye to the hope of any official Firefox builds coming out in the foreseeable future: nightly x64 builds on Windows have been scrapped. Source.

Edit: It may have worked like you said at one point, you're right that that wouldn't have been very useful so I wouldn't have started using it until it switched to the current behavior. I feel like they started adding this in Firefox 14 but they added saving site preferences in 16 (I've also been on Aurora so long that it always feels like features were added 3+ months ago for me).

Alereon posted:That's not true, plug-in click-to-play allows you to activate individual items for playback. For example, if you got to a lovely site with a bunch of Flash ads, you can activate only the video you want and not load the ads. Saving rules for sites allows you to activate all plug-ins, or just certain ones (Flash/Java). Whoopsy daisy, thanks for the correction. I'll file that last post under silly me.

I'm on Firefox 17.0 stable, Windows 7, and I don't see any option to activate individual items, save rules per-site, or apply different settings for different plugins. I can enable each flash embed separately my manually clicking on them, but there's no rules I can see. Also, I have nightly installed too - I just checked that and still don't see any of the options you're talking about. Can you screenshot the options you're talking about? This is all I see.

I think I've forgotten why I switched to Firefox to Chrome in the first place. It definitely seems to have a lot more crashes or ~10 second freezes that Chrome or Opera did. Quite tempted to switch back, since the only extension I think I use all that often now (Invisible Hand) has a Chrome equivalent and the rest of my usage is mostly through bookmarklets for sharing to Twitter etc. I'm hoping to be convinced to stick with Firefox so I don't need to go saving passwords and exporting bookmarks etc all over again.

I'll run Crystal Disk later on and hopefully build a clean Firefox profile this weekend. As far as I know my graphics card drivers are up to date and though I have AVG installed the plugin for it is disabled. I suppose I haven't done a defrag in a while either so I'll get that done tomorrow. Fingers crossed it'll all be okay after that! I usually have between 5 and 12 tabs open at a time across two windows.

Did Firefox 17 change the default behaviour of alt+mousewheel scrolling? I found these settings in about:config, but I don't know what values need to be applied to get it to the way I like. Can anyone help? mousewheel.with_alt.delta_multiplier_z mousewheel.with_alt.delta_multiplier_y mousewheel.with_alt.delta_multiplier_x mousewheel.with_alt.action

I'll note I was unimpressed with the performance of Invisible Hand back when I had it installed (years ago), so Invisible Hand could be the source of your slowdowns. Firefox is very much susceptible to degraded performance due to badly coded add-ons.

As for AVG, I guess it's just me being old fashioned and being used to having to have some third party AV in the machine. I'm almost tempted to flatten and reinstall my computer sometime over Christmas given its overall performance on some random software so I'll stick with Windows' own AV once I do that.

This whole illusion that 64bit can bring performance improvements over 32bit needs to stop already, it doesn't always hold true for everything 32bit vs 64bit.

The Netscape plugin API has no way to pass keyboard events back up to the browser, so if the plugin has the keyboard focus and gets a key event it doesn't respond to, it has nowhere to punt it.
