New laptop? SSL issues? It couldn't be Superfish, could it?

Edit: Ahh, I thought I read something about Firefox specifically revoking it. But yeah, it was months back, so I'm probably misremembering.

Superfish would make all the things show up s valid certs due to its own built in certificate.

Probably the easiest way to do this is to install DOM Inspector. I used to use it a lot for Thunderbird development; it's a great way of figuring out how a UI element is defined/styled.

(If you want to go full-nerd, you can use the remote debugging protocol too, but I think that involves running two separate Firefox instances, which is probably more complex than it's worth for farting around with userChrome.)

Had a go at this, but can't figure out how to make it show UI elements, only elements in webpages. Help?

File > Inspect Chrome Document > Select the browser window (when in doubt, hover over each item and pick one where the tooltip ends with browser.xul).

Then you can use the "find a node to inspect by clicking on it" feature on the top left and click on the tabs/panel to figure out the element ids and class names.

Install this along with DOM Inspector. Hold shift, right click on the element (where ever it might be) you want to inspect. Voila!

Didn't they move a year ago? I'm pretty sure I haven't had Silverlight installed on any of the systems I've been watching Netflix on.

Edit: Yeah I guess I'm wrong it isn't working on my work machine without Silverlight right now.

That's odd, Netflix asks me to install Silverlight on both Firefox and Chrome (x64 releases of both).

They haven't, and I think they're the only browser that still requires silverlight (maybe Chrome too?).

Full list of supported platforms is here, and they seem to be dragging their feet with Firefox. Then again, Firefox still has a lot to do to get to where Netflix likely needs them to be.

So since upgrading to win10 and switching to firefox (because chrome memory leaks like a motherfucker), I'm having some forums issues. When I open a thread, even when it's one I've never read before, the entire thread is marked as read already between clicking it and it opening. Jumping to first unread opens the right page, but just scrolls to the bottom. This is only happening on firefox, chrome still works fine, but it's such a memory hog :(

Using a lot of memory doesn't mean a process has a memory leak. Are you sure you're not just confusing the overhead from Chrome's process architecture with a leak? Chrome uses all that memory for good reason (and people generally have enough spare RAM it doesn't matter, RAM that's not being used is not useful RAM).

Well, it might not be a leak, but I've only got 6 gigs (gonna upgrade once I find a new job), and it uses like 3-4 gigs, which means I can't use it to, say, stream while playing something else like I can with firefox.

Latest Dev build just started enforcing addon signing, so of course like half the addons I depend on were immediately disabled.

If it pisses away tons of ram, and never releases it, for tabs I've not access in days, or for tabs I close, it may as well be. It uses double the ram of FF for the same number of tabs.

On 16GB system you're OK for a while unless you open hundreds of tabs. On 4GB, which many people have, it dies quick.

FF + the unload tab extension means I can browse freely without going above 1Gb most of the time.

Yeah and I could use over 32GB of RAM with chrome if I don't install an extension to unload tabs. I have hundreds because I don't understand closing browser tabs or doing anything except opening more tabs "for later."

In Firefox I have to restart my browser somewhat frequently because I often push it into a state where the garbage collector stops performing. If I don't do something intensive, like opening a bunch of YouTube tabs at over on top of my already bloated browsing habits, it doesn't happen because the GC can keep up.

Can't wait for 64 bit Firefox, even if it's like six months behind by now.

So, this got sidetracked determining if I used the exact correct term for why I switched from chrome. Does anyone have an idea why the forums would be acting up for me?

Actually, it turns out that opening a thread will randomly mark other threads read too, for some reason :psyduck:.

E: Never mind, no idea what was causing it, but refreshing firefox through their site seems to have sorted it.

I've been using this addon and I've noticed that it fucks up downloading ogg audio-only for some odd reason. I'm not sure why, my ffmpeg is up to date (though I'm not sure if it even uses it, and I've had no trouble pulling ogg audio from the webms myself), but directly downloading ogg audio with this addon produces terrible blips in the sound.

Possibly since updating to 39.0.3, I can't seem to detach tabs anymore. Its the wierdest thing! Anyone else run into something like this recently? I'm fairly light on extensions (Firebug, Ghostery, Privacy Badger), and not really sure what to try outside of drastic 'flatten profile' type things. I *am* running Windows 10, but Firefox has been playing nice.

(Hell, Firefox has been running *great* for me in 10. This little niggle aside, it feels faster and more responsive. Maybe its just in my head, or perhaps the upgrade just cleared some old cruft out)

Thanks for that. Now I know it's worth pursuing certain other options. (So weird though! Like, what a strange thing to have stop working :psyduck:).

Edit: This just gets all the stranger... I had Facebook open, and was typing a message to someone via the chat thing. The screen flashed, there was 'boing' noise, my message vanished mid-sentence. *But*, mouse-scope behaviour on that page changed, and... I can detach tabs again. What the gently caress is even going on :psyduck:

And for the record, I *did* do stuff like close my browser. So loving wierd. But whatever. I'm too busy having a tab-detach-party :stare:
