So e10 is right around the corner for us non-beta testers (51.0 IIRC), and according to Add-on Compatibility Reporter, these are the add-ons I still use that are not e10s compatible and some of them haven't been updated in years so I have little hope at this point, so I would like to find replacements for them with ones that are e10s compatible but still retain the functionality. The add-ons are; Clean Links Google Reverse Image Search Image Zoom Can any of you guys recommend me some alternatives here? I've tried searching AMO but unless the add-on has thousands of users they get buried under dozens and dozens of pages.

Welp. I seem to have significantly more non-e10s compatible extensions than compatible ones. (47 vs. 28.) Guess there's no e10s in my future. I tried getting a list of them with extension list dumper, but it doesn't want to work. Suffice it to say I'm not typing up the list of them all by hand.

Are they completely incompatible or are they just not explicitly compatible? Many legacy extensions can use shims that come with Firefox to continue to function.

Stupid Firefox only updated itself to 50.0.1 (and showed the pretty "You're Up To Date!!!" screen - shouldn't that be dynamic?) so now I have to restart my drat browser again.

Is all this reliable in any way? Context Search 0.6.4 reports as incompatible with multiprocess, while the maker's website says they made it compatible last march with that version update specifically.

I was on the verge of switching back to Chrome earlier this week due to buggy, sluggish performance & ultra slow startup in Firefox. Then I tried disabling my addons, and eventually found out that Lastpass is an absolute dog and was dragging it down. I might have to permanently ditch Lastpass just because of this, even though I use the iPhone app all the time. As a replacement I'm trialing the Passifox addon, which connects to the keepass app to fill in passwords. It works fine so far. Does anyone else have the same problem with Lastpass?

I tried chrome for a few days. It was not a seamless transition but i endured. Then I tried to download a youtube video using my video download addon and it flat out refused because apparently google would take them from the app store thing if they permitted youtube downloading. So I went back to firefox. The reason I need to download videos is that stuff constantly goes missing on youtube. If you have a 10 part comedy show saved to your favourites then come back to see it three years later. Parts 2-3-5-7 could very well be gone. I was recently struck by a pang of guilt over my ad blocker. Surfing the internet and devouring all free content without doing anything in return. So I disabled it to see what the internet looks like these days. Has anyone here used youtube without an ad blocker lately? They have ads that are 15 minutes long. I kid you not. Not a big deal if you're watching a video but when you have a playlist set and are listening to a story on youtube or music and it cuts into a 15 minute ad it's a disaster. Some youtube ads even make you click an option before it even moves on at all.

I'm on version 50.0 and the package manager in Fedora (dnf) says I'm up to date. Is there a way of forcing an early upgrade in Linux from a different repo without breaking the usual stream of updates? So that when 50.0.2+ hits the Fedora repos it'll carry on as before?

I don't see why the downloader needs to be part of the browser at all. There's a command-line thing called youtube-dl that does everything you could possibly need, and can even do things like download an entire playlist in one shot. https://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/

Is there any way to stop the bookmarks toolbar from appearing every time I abuse it as a dumping ground for temporary bookmarks? It started 'helpfully' enabling the toolbar whenever something gets added to it ever since Firefox 50 rolled out and it's actually getting pretty annoying. Do you guys know anything that does not involve changing my workflow? Google sure doesn't help because it's flooded with people not knowing how to enable it in the first place (probably the reason why they introduced this behavior).

Alereon posted:Lastpass remains super popular and widely recommended because it's the only reasonably-priced, cross-platform, cloud-based password manager. It would be cool if Mozilla could unseat them, but given the disaster of the Firefox Sync user experience I'm not too confident. 1password has a cloud service now: https://1password.com/sign-up/ It's a little more expensive and I don't recommend cloud-based password managers in general, but at least they have a significantly better attitude towards security than LastPass. And 1Password still sells standalone licenses without the cloud-based stuff, though for this use case I generally just recommend KeePass.

KeePass plus Dropbox, and clients on iOS or Android. Free, and as secure as you'll get with any cloud service you have to pay for. The KeePass addon for Firefox is also really good. I think it's called KeeFox. Posting from mobile, so I can't check.

Avenging Dentist posted:Lastpass sucks. Anyway I use both Keepass and Lastpass, Keepass because gently caress not having a offline version in case one morning I wake up and Lastpass is down or gone for good, I'd be boned, and Lastpass because it's super convenient at what it does and nothing else comes close. My tip for Lastpass users though is to use it, but don't give it your 100% accurate password. An example of it would be if your SA password was 8!Nz5DCCJYO%5Kq5w9!t add this to Lastpass but with 3 extra random characters at the end, so 8!Nz5DCCJYO%5Kq5w9!t5&f, then all you have to do is delete the last 3 characters of any password field manually when using it, now if this hypothetical breach happens it's useless to anyone who gets it because nothing would work anyway unless they know your "system" of using it.

Alereon posted:This is a lot of work just to defeat the convenience Lastpass offers. The point of Lastpass is that it is simpler than re-using the same password on multiple sites, anything even a little more complicated breaks that model. If you're a turbonerd, roll your own solution using KeePass. LastPass is for the kind of people who see a setup guide and their eyes glaze over. It's really not though, I use Lastpass how anyone else uses it, but in my example you just need to hit backspace 3 times in all your password fields before logging in, takes about 1 second longer to use then a regular Lastpass user. I'd say trying to sync poo poo with dropbox it way more of a hassle.
