Ur Getting Fatter posted:Is there any way for Firefox (on Windows 10) to automatically open up a tunnel and connect via SOCKS to my server? Go to options, advanced, network, settings, and then enter your SOCKS proxy information. It will use either v4 or v5 of SOCKS for this. It'll look like this when set up (obviously with the correct IPv4 or IPv6 address for the server you want it to connect to):

I think he's planning on having PuTTY on the drive and auto-launching an SSH session before opening Firefox?

Hah, I was actually just testing that out, and googling around led me to plink.exe which I think is neater than having to bundle up a profile. Now to write the batch file. Thanks!

Yeah, the idea was to not have to manually set up the tunnel. Weirdly it seems no browser actually supports this as an inbuilt option, but I guess as long as I can run a single batch file then it's about the same. Thanks for the help!

I'm trying to edit some Firefox UI. If I change it in the DOM Inspector then it immediately reflects the change in Firefox, if I set the same rule in userChrome.css it doesn't do anything. Here's the element in question: By default it's set to "chrome://simplified-tabgroups/content/icons/togglebutton/icon-32.png" but I want it to use icon-inverted-32.png (which is packaged into the xpi, but inaccessible through the program's options). This is the userChrome.css line I'm using to try and enforce this: code:

Okay, so I was using the wrong selector and had some syntax errors w/r/t the !important and url. I tried fixing both of those things, by changing the syntax and getting the selectors directly from the DOM Inspector. No luck. Here's the parent element in the DOM Inspector, which is what I used to get the selectors (I tried the same things directly on xul:image).code:

my only suggestion would be to try "list-style-image" instead of "image". Like so:code:

dis astranagant posted:Is there an extension somewhere that lets you specify download folders for individual sites? the browser itself is supposed to remember by site if you have "always ask me where to download" turned on, but it isn't 100% reliable. I use "save link in folder", which isn't by site, but gives you a easy list of folders. Good if you have less than a dozen entries.

To increase market share just do the things that produce good results, and do not do the things which produce bad results.

I read somewhere though that the html5 version on Firefox supports only up to 720p video so I've just been using Edge for Netflix because it supports 1080p. Now if I can just figure out a way to change the Edge shortcut to "Netflix" so that I can just hit Windows + Netf to open it up then that would be great.

It's amazing to me how film and TV still haven't learned the lesson from Steam - make it available as widely as possible and make it easier to buy than it is to steal and people will fall over themselves to give you money. I live in Australia and Netflix barely gives us a fraction of what they offer in the US. Then they wonder why Australians are about the top in the world for illegally downloading poo poo. Please, let me give you my money

Since an update about a month ago, Firefox has been signing me out of Twitter every time I close the browser. "Remember me" is checked on login. It doesn't do this with any other site. Every time i open Firefox, I need to sign in to Twitter again (it at least remembers my password) and then I get an email alert from twitter that there's a "new login" which suggests firefox it isn't saving the login cookie. But I haven't disabled any cookies on Twitter. Any idea what might be going on? edit: wiping out all of my twitter.com cookies and logging in fresh seems to have fixed the problem.

Add the BitDefender TLS certificate to Firefox, or disable the network scanning for HTTPS sites if you don't want BitDefender to read your e-mails and credit card info. Better yet, uninstall BitDefender. Third-party antivirus is worthless.

For some reason, firefox is refusing to remember tabs from session to session, even though I have it set to do so (and I doublechecked by saving a different setting, and then back to the save tabs setting) but every time I reopen firefox, it's back to the start page. This just started with 48.0.2 Edit: never mind, problem solved. There was another session that was up, invisibly. Rorac fucked around with this message at 07:58 on Aug 27, 2016 |
