Stylus didn't pick up any of my old styles (maybe because I installed it after updating to 57) but it uses styles from the stylish website itself, so no rewrites necessary.

So I'm looking for Firefox 57-compatible versions of a few non-compatible extensions I have left. SuperStop: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/superstop/ Which basically just made it so you could hit shift-esc to do the same thing esc would do on a loaded page before they stopped that - stop animated gifs, stop some ajax requests, etc. Snap Links Plus - since the official version he did for the last update is still defective in the options menu. I really just need the right click-drag motion to open new tabs and the ability to have it not open duplicate links in that. Rehost Image - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/rehost-image/ which was simply the easiest quick-rehost on Imgur extension I found a while back. All I need out of a replacement is that it can do that. Session Manager - http://sessionmanager.mozdev.org/ since the ability to selectively save collections of tabs from time to time is useful, and sometimes it's really helpful for recovering from a crashing situation. I don't really need all the advanced features either. DownThemAll - http://www.downthemall.net/ The developer refuses to bother upgrading things to Firefox 57 compatibility, I don't need all the capabilities, just the ability to give an extension a page and have it grab+download all the image links or video links etc, and then do it from certain selections on the page. The whole extension can do things like split up files into multiple parts to download over old dialup connections or whatever, but I hardly need that.

mike12345 posted:Why did Tab Center stop working? I thought it's by mozilla smh Mozilla chose to remove the ability to hide the tab bar and url bar, claiming security reasons. The Tab Center extension got retired instead of being updated. A replacement exists, https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/tab-center-redux/ , but it's waiting on mozilla to finish implementing a safe web extension api for hiding the tab bar. No ETA, but not by FF57 at least. Using it now creates 'duplicate' tabs, but only cosmetically. fishmech posted:Session Manager - http://sessionmanager.mozdev.org/ since the ability to selectively save collections of tabs from time to time is useful, and sometimes it's really helpful for recovering from a crashing situation. I don't really need all the advanced features either. Not sure about the others, but Session manager is waiting on new webextension API's before it can do anything for firefox 57+. No idea if mozilla will implement these before 57 actually comes out. The Downthemall dev is actually working on a webextension version. He made a post about it, but has no idea of a delivery timeline.

I thought the DTA guy wasn't going to bother because Mozilla refuses to implement a filesystem API. Any webextension version of DTA won't let you set a download directory most likely.

He made a post where he said that Mozilla wasn't implementing the APIs, but he thought he could get special treatment from Mozilla like tree style tabs is getting. However he didn't want to get special permission just to be allowed the privilege of doing even more work. I think the biggest problem going forward is going to be addons that need new APIs, especially large numbers of them. Imagine if TST didn't exist, do you think it would be possible for someone to build it starting with FF 57? I sincerely doubt it, Mozilla's giving them special treatment because TST already has a large, dedicated user base. Without an existing large user base Mozilla isn't going to give an unproven addon special treatment, especially one that requires as much work on Mozilla's part as TST. No one will be able to make "another" TST, DTA, or CTR; Mozilla will just simply not do the work necessary to make them possible.

Here is a google table showing common extensions, their status in Firefox 57+ and some alternatives. Stolen from Reddit, or possibly earlier in this thread, but worth a repost. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TFcEXMcKrwoIAECIVyBU0GPoSmRqZ7A0VBvqeKYVSww/edit#gid=0 I assume someone is updating it, but it's not me.

I'm a huge CTR guy, but after trying out 57b I have to say it's not too bad. I'm baffled by a number of decisions though that seem punitive. Hamburger menu button is a mandatory button that cannot be moved or hidden. Why isn't it the same as any other button? Where's my dedicated Reload and Stop buttons? Why does the urlbar need a ... button (of which the first option is to favorite the page) and a favorite button, neither of which can be removed? The App Tab highlight is far too hard to see now, but at least my most important App Tabs change their favico anyway.

Using the new pruned Add-On regime for a week now and the added speed makes up for losing a lot of functionality and comfort. But I'm missing a few things: Especially SALR of course (I rely a lot on jumping to the last unread post with the jump button and typing in &goto=newpost every time for tabs I keep open all week gets old really fast) and Enpass. Some minor things from Tab Mix and CTR, but that's mostly creature comforts and can often be done with other add-ons in a lesser way. Session Save I could replicate in a bare-bones form with Tab Saver for example. Others like BBCode/HTML/Markup tagging via context Menu I'm still searching for a replacement. The speed and memory improvments are really tremendous. On my passively cooled Surface Pro 4 with 4 GB RAM I always used Opera, because Firefox was too choppy, especially with Youtube and HTML5 videos. Now, with Developer Edition it runs fast and great (most annoying thing is that using touch puts a blinking text cursor onto the web page and even fullscreen video for some reason):

You know you can just right-click the bookmark star and remove it right? (At least on Nightly.) You don't need to add userChrome for it.

My Firefox for android just updated to 56 and now they've finally added enough webextensions support for me to use the latest version of uBO. Why the gently caress did they push that poo poo out before adding support to all their platforms? Oh well, let's see in how many new and exciting ways things are broken now.

Is my PC exploding, or is 56.0 a giant pile of garbage? Youtube tabs are slow, text is sort of slow to appear and I'm getting this insane problem where going to a page from the address bar sometimes doesn't load, but a link/bookmark to the same URL works fine.

Are you using Greasemonkey? I've had very similar issues, and it turns out it was Greasemonkey 3.16 causing scripts to run slowly and creating an overall lovely browsing experience. Try installing the 3.17 beta here, it fixed everything for me: https://github.com/greasemonkey/greasemonkey/issues/2602#issuecomment-333593758

BitWarden isn't working very well as a replacement for LastPass on Firefox 58 Nightly. Is it working in the 57 beta? It only offers to save the password for some sites. Outlook.com and Gmail pass by it unnoticed when I log in.

Flipperwaldt posted:If you find out if uBO's cosmetic filtering now consistently works on the newest versions for both, I'd be very interested to hear about it. Aside from having to import my settings from file, I've not had any issues. Just make sure to save your settings to a file. And when you've installed the latest version, to import them and also clear filter caches and update filters. I had some weirdness from cached pages from before importing my settings, but those issues resolved themselves by now.

I'm sure this has been answered before but does Firefox have support for multiple profiles like Chrome does? I really like that you can just click a button in Chrome, select a different profile and get a brand new window. I've installed the Multi-Account Containers extension but it's not quite what I'm looking for - it's more like having multiple private windows open, not really separate profiles with their own extensions, bookmarks and history.

Yes: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Security/Contextual_Identity_Project/Containers#How_to_Use_Containers You have to set something in about :config, then it works. I think it's gonna be default in 57+? e: wait poo poo, you also want separate bookmarks/history, that doesn't happen... yet: quote:Not separated by Containers (Yet): Truga fucked around with this message at 17:31 on Oct 4, 2017 |
