When I close the Firefox window and open it the next day, it opens to the home page instead of my windows and tabs from last time, I can't seem to access the menu button on the side of the bookmarks button or the tab groups button, also when I click the tab groups button and open a new tab, all the other tabs disappear. I would close out the new tab and enter the tab groups window and have no way of exiting. I would click on a tab I want to go to and it would shrink back down instead of giving me access to the window and also I am unable to close out the browser, I would have to enter task manager to close Firefox. Can anyone help me?

(about :support -> Refresh Firefox) This will reset your settings, remove your add-ons, etc, but will leave your cookies, browsing history and other data alone. (You can see the full details here.)

I think I accidentally got permanently rid of the reload/back/forward buttons on the context menu while tinkering with Menu Editor. Its "reset all" option doesn't bring them back. Is there some tweak I can do or extension I can install to get back a simple "reload" option in my context menu?

I've recently noticed the unexpected behavior of View Page Source. I'm on 37.0.1 right now, I'm logged in to SA, and when I do right-click - View Page Source, what I'm seeing is a source of the page you see when you're not logged in, complete with "Special Message From Senor Lowtax" and that bullshit boogeyman.mp4 video on autoplay. Is this a new normal? Is this how it's always been? Am I seeing things? I'm in Safe Mode right now, everything is disabled (hello ads).

(edit) My machine is beefy enough to run GTA V at 60 FPS on high settings, this isn't a clunker. Just to clear that up  Also running Waterfox doesn't seem to help. Nevermind, Firefox was on 36, HTML5 apparently got fixed on 37. Stupid me for never restarting computer.

I think I'm going to have to reinstall. I'm on 38 and HTML5 playback is still completely broken. Edit 3: I think having media.windows-media-foundation.enabled set to FALSE was the root of things, and I probably had a... reason for setting that way back when. Things are still twitchy, but better than no HTML5 at all. Bieeanshee fucked around with this message at 00:55 on Apr 18, 2015 |

One of the earlier betas months back had a crashing issue with MSE enabled for a while on some computers, so the advice was to disable it then.

That might have been it. I was on Aurora for ages, until they changed that to Developer Edition, and bumped back to Beta from there.

The rebranding, new UI and skins made me step back and realize that I wasn't a developer, didn't need any of the new bits, and that going to the beta version would be easier than making the DE feel like it 'should'. That and I'd probably have fewer addons break from update to update.

Why isn't there a "Share through Firefox Sync" service for desktop Firefox like there is standard on the Android version? It should be as easy to send urls in the other direction as well. I have no idea how those things are written or I would do it myself.

There is no auto updating, and what settings, settings consists of like 4 check boxes so just recheck everything and copy/paste your filters to a text file and copy them back into the uBlock0 one. Also all this drama over an addon is stupid, Gorhill whats his ball back and Chris whats to make some money for his time.

I think his point was that the other guy wasn't actually doing anything, just taking changes made by other people and repackaging them so it looks like he wrote it, then collecting all the donation money for his hard work.

Here is Chris's Philosophy on uBlock, I'm not seeing where the torches are pitchforks are suppose to come into play here. Even Gorhill said himself that "uBlock is mature, most issues encountered nowadays are with the filter lists", are you expecting Chris to rewrite the entire thing from scratch to make it look like hes doing more" It's basically finished. Besides I like some of the changes Chris has made with the original, like how checking "I'm an advance user" still allows for mouse over tool tips. Like why the gently caress not. He also said he was going to make the element picker easier to use which is really needed because Element Hiding Helper for Adblock Plus has spoiled me. Literally a man baby this Gorhill.

Is he distributing the donations to other contributors? Because that's my only real concern here (besides the charge of filing off contributor markings), and I know better than to take one angry nerd's side at face value. Edit: Wasn't it Gorhill who wanted to hand the project off, but keep the project pages? All I remember is when this stuff first started, I had a really weird feeling, like that tension in your temples when a drama storm is on the horizon.

They both do the same thing, just stick to the one you have so you won't have to migrate your settings, or if when you look at uBlock and say to yourself "I have no clue what any of this stuff means" then maybe, eventually, Chris's version will be best for your needs because he plans to make it more user friendly. None of them auto-update yet either, so you're going to have to update them manually for a while still until AMO's reviews finish, which can take up to 2 months, the downside to Gorhill's version is he pushes out several updates a day/week to his builds, this is great if you like bleeding edge, but also comes with a negative that they might be less stable/bug free then Chris's one who is slower to push out 'stable' builds, but slow means more time for user feedback/fixing.

There is a certain level of irony about the drama being "people should be paid for their work" when the point of the add-on is to block ads.

Honestly I'd be fine with ads if I could rely on the major ad services to always catch malicious ads before they go live, and there weren't sites that cause my browser to hang because all the advertising is just that lovely. Alternatively, if Firefox provided a way to telepathically induce aneurisms in lovely advertisers.

And the advertising companies paid me for all the bandwidth their ads are wasting, delivered me new batteries mid way through the day to make up for the battery impact, and didn't ever have moving or interstitial ads.
