Has anyone else seen issues with HTTPSEverywhere's SSL Observatory? I was having 30+ second pageloads (on some pages only) with Firefox maxing out a core that I eventually narrowed down to the observatory being enabled. Wondering if it's just my system or a problem with the addon.

Desuwa posted:Chrome explicitly targets the core use cases of a browser and leaves the long tail of power users and people with other wants to other browsers. Huh, Chrome is the heaviest, most over featured browser there is, though in the area of trying to make web apps work like desktop apps rather than user facing useful features. It will randomly run random crap in the background & eat all my ram.

I had this problem last night, so I just went to bed, and it's working just fine now. I didn't bother trying to really diagnose it since it was late at night. I do have SSL Observatory enabled, so that could very well have been the problem.

I really like turning websites into apps for stuff like bandcamp, feedly, and twitch. Gets rid of menu and url bars, plus I don't accidentally close it while browsing*. *because I'm still using FF as my main.

Grim Up North posted:Doesn't that still open links in Chrome? I haven't tried it recently but there's a seven year old bug about it. Yeah, but usually it's just an article or something. I can deal with just reading the occasional page, and my Twitch notifications need to be in Chrome as I only have Flash in Chrome, and Twitch doesn't properly work in FF using html5 yet. I've never bothered looking into it, but I wouldn't be surprised if there would be an extension to help with that. I know that at work we use a chrome extension that automatically opens some intranet sites in IE.

is there a way to change the blocklist that firefox's tracking protection uses in 42.0?

sick trigger posted:is there a way to change the blocklist that firefox's tracking protection uses in 42.0? In 43 you can switch between two blocklists But as far as I can tell you can't specify your own or an arbitrary 3rd party one. Probably better off disabling it and using uMatrix or the like if you want more control.

Is it possible to change the default text encoding for page rendering? I ran into an issue with Japanese text rendering as gibberish in a local HTML document. I can fix it by manually setting the page to Unicode, but the browser keeps defaulting to Western and I haven't been able to find a way to change that default.

It's not going to western because of a default setting, the document is either inadvertently set as western somewhere in the beginning of the file, or the browser's autodetect functionality for character sets mistakes it as western. If you could paste the first few dozen lines of the HTML source in a code block here, it could help to figure out what's going on.

Not sure what could be causing this, but Firefox seems to not be displaying images hosted from the domain https://pbs.twimg.com (which depending on the thread I'm reading, means that either some or all of the images will be absent). Has anyone else been having this problem? If so, do I need to disable something to fix it?

Every search result I see looks sketchy https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/42.0/win64/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%2042.0.exe For some reason, it's still not publicized on their front page, but this is the official download (note the mozilla.org domain in the URL).

The 64 bit version will automatically update, right? I've got visions of FF 43 being 32 bit only again.
|
# ? Nov 24, 2015 13:10 |

No, 32-bit will only upgrade to other 32-bit releases, you'll need to install 64-bit FF manually, then after that it will upgrade to other 64-bit releases like normal.

I accidentally typed in youtube.co instead of youtube.com, and now the youtube icon in the upper left has a "CO" on the end of it, including on pages that didn't have it but when reloaded suddenly have it. I'm guessing this is a malicious thing, how do I get rid of it? Currently running a scan, surprised noscript and stuff didn't stop it. It'd be nice if google nailed those domains, I hear "yotube" is another one.

YouTube.co is owned by Google and points to Google servers, so it's not malicious. Firefox probably assumed that this is now the right domain name to display.

Flipperwaldt posted:Firefox on my mom's Surface 3 acted like she had a terrible connection for a while. Like there was terrible latency or something. Once it started loading a site, it would come through at a normal rate, but always with a multi-second delay before that. Edge acted normally, so it wasn't actually the connection. It's not with every site though; it's just with the plex player itself, like I'm trying to buffer the video over dialup. While I'm here, is there any way to get firefox to remember the credentials for popup password boxes, like the ones most routers typically use? The only browser I've used that does this is Safari, which is a godsend when you have a NAS with a million different plugins that all have their own web interface.

But I'd start by opening the request log to see if anything blocked pops up while uploading. And then you could either disable the responsible filter or add an exception.
