Somehow the thing I miss most in 57 is Googlebar Lite. I didn't realize how much I used the dedicated search-this-site, search-images and highlight-on-page buttons.

Oh man, another Firefox update and more messed up font rendering. The fix last time was mucking around with the harware acceleration setting, but it looks like that option is removed in 57? Firefox  Chrome  Little less obvious here, but look at the 'M' in Mark. Looks a bit more jagged in Firefox to me Firefox  Chrome

Search under performance or hardware, uncheck use recommended settings, uncheck hardware accel. There are also a bunch of type rendering options you can tweak, but you'll need to do some googling about them since I don't know off the top of my head what each one does.

So I moved my Greasemonkey scripts over to Tampermonkey so that it'll run fine on Firefox 57 since GM wants a whole rewrite which might not be ready. All of them work fine, except that the ones that open new tabs now always open each tab immediately next to the first tab, rather than opening at the end of the tab bar like tabs opened manually do, as I'd changed FireFox to do. What do I need to change to make Tampermonkey versions of scripts respect that setting?

Making the entire Web software-rendered is a good way to ruin the modern Web. Find a new browser if the font rendering bothers you that bad. Or - and this is some real out-on-a-limb trash - you could bring it up as feedback to Mozilla. dont be mean to me fucked around with this message at 00:24 on Oct 6, 2017 |

poo poo, yeah I did, let me fix that. But I still hold the sentiment that, even if it makes things look nice for the moment, crippling your browser isn't even a medium-term fix. Flipperwaldt posted:All those screenshots look fuzzy as gently caress to me, and indeed, once I unblock access to fonts.gstatic.com in uBlock, so does the text on my screen. And to me standard body text in a Blink-based renderer looks uncomfortably hairline even with properly-calibrated displays and ClearType. Might be because with the rise of high-density laptop displays and a lot of people abandoning general-purpose computers entirely, 100% scaling - and thanks to consumers and business IT, properly configured computer terminals - have become edge cases. Don't know what to tell you. dont be mean to me fucked around with this message at 00:23 on Oct 6, 2017 |

Speaking of fonts! I'm not on 57 yet but this thing I posted about 6 months and 4 versions ago:Klyith posted:Meanwhile, on a different issue: I've been noticing that multithreading is producing small but ugly errors with text rendering -- loving up the antialiasing just a tiny bit with darker pixels. It's pretty random; even on the same line of text some letters will be grunged and some will be clean, so it's not like the old issues with scrolling they used to have a few years ago. dont be mean to me posted:And to me standard body text in a Blink-based renderer looks uncomfortably hairline even with properly-calibrated displays and ClearType. Or, and this might be another edge case, whatever caliber of eyes someone has. Not everyone has great vision, and what looks hairline if a screenshot might look sharp to someone with glasses and 150% scaling settings.

I wonder if they understand what 'surprises' are, because I'm pretty sure that - blog post or no - finding that in a fresh Firefox download is going to be a whopper. That one pretty much has (had?  ) to be opt-in or  .

FRINGE posted:The marketing blurbs sound so benign. I assume it will be intrusive and terrible like all spy-based marketing horseshit. Looking more into the Cliqz thing, it does seem fairly benign. They're collecting data to make a general search engine, and I think (?) that with EU data collection laws, if you say it's anonymized you better be sticking to that. I dunno, maybe their game plan is to have the 2nd best search engine and hope that google gets banned in the EU? Certainly that type of data collection is no worse than what google is doing all the time. But there's reasons I haven't switched from FF to chrome. And while that list is getting shorter all the time, the best remaining reason is that google sometimes creeps me out. I got an android phone a year ago and it's been alternately unpleasant and annoying to see them use more data points for "responsive suggestions". unpleasant because something about the 3rd device let them realize my desktop and my laptop are used by the same person, so I started seeing poo poo follow me from one to the other. annoying because most of the time the poo poo they focus on is so wrong. I swear, follow one linked video from the star citizen thread and suddenly google thinks you really loving love star citizen.

Well, I had to write an AHK script and my own webextension to replicate what I use Tab Mix Plus for, but now that I have, I'm fully ready for v57. I've got tree style tabs, mouse wheel scrolling to change tabs, double clicking to reload tabs. My workflow won't need any adjusting. Hopefully the API improves in the next few months and TMP can get ported, but having tried to write an incredibly simple webextension (always open address bar typed URLs in a new tab) I totally get why the author isn't even bothering yet. I ended up having to recreate this functionality in an AHK script that sends Alt+Enter if I press Enter while the mouse cursor is over the address bar. A lovely hack, but it works.

Is the Firefox SALR extension still being developed? The new forums update has screwed up how it renders the quick quote/post/reply buttons and search thread box. I'd ask in the Firefox SALR thread but it's in the archives now.

I looked into this more closely since just adding vertical-align to the buttons we insert made it still be a pixel off, and it appears lowtax added vertical-aligns to both the anchors and the images in the anchors which somehow bumps their images about a pixel off of where ours would be when I just vertical-align those. It looks like the easiest solution will be removing a few of the vertical-aligns. I'll see what I can do later today.

The setup is each of them is tied to a respective preference (highlight usernames is true / hide all custom titles is false). If you want the feature but you don't want to be able to interact with it from the forum page, my best advice is to make a stylish style or two that would hide the last one or two list items there.

I'd rather just hide them off posts if possible to not have to deal with it. Add coloring/note is probably the one thing I use the most. There are simply too many people here with changing names and avatars to remember everyone. I colour code people who catch my eye ranging from gold for good all the way to a deep brown for those who aren't*. Being able to add a bunch of text to give context is also great.  * utterly worthless people get straight #000000 black so I don't even have to see their stupidity if someone quotes them - something which is lacking in the vanilla ignore function - but which also lets me highlight their posts and read them if necessary without reloading the page.

I don't think my eyes could handle so many different background colors but I'm glad you're enjoying it! I pushed out SALR v4.1.3 for everyone; Firefox should update it automatically but you can force it in the add-ons page if you want.

Nothing for 57 currently. Sorry to hear they broke it in more recent 57+ builds; in an earlier 57 nightly I had it was working fine.  Looks like on 58 (and probably later 57 releases) it's choking on setting up the frame script loader, which kills 90% of the addon. As I mentioned before I had issues with updating Firefox to 55 and nothing I did would fix it (and I'm not going to erase my profile and start fresh, hoping they fix whatever bug I ran into, because of the time I've invested into setting custom site permissions) so I went back to 52. Re: porting to webext: astral posted:It's really difficult to justify the time and effort required when the forums are going to be moving to XenForo 2.0 or whatever. Tentatively my advice is going to be "just use the ESR until then". If that situation changes, we'll see. Port of Chrome SALR might be possible, though there are some fundamental changes how content scripts load in Firefox; I still need to talk to the salr-chrome guys about it.

https://github.com/ddwo/salr-chrome + thread coloring works + quick reply works - no keyboard nav, and probably a lot more broke - twitter embeds was stalling for a page and then started working again, might be my fault - you're right , something with loading scripts, jquery doesn't get loaded. something with the content security policy, at least on the options page support is limited to how far you can throw me, but if you want to use it download the source, go to about :debugging in your browser (might need firefox dev. edition?), "load temporary add-on" and open manifest.json

Sheesh, so there's a ways to go either route it looks like. Sidenote: Second browser this has happened to me (once on an early 57 beta dev edition on windows, once on an old 55 install on linux) but I actually had to relaunch Firefox after updating to 4.1.3 for it to fully apply. I didn't change anything that touched loading so  e: Did you use the (semi-?) official tool to port it, or did you do it manually?

The api calls were 95% find and replace, so I wouldn't be surprised if there was a tool to automate it, although the first URL was what mozilla recommends in the first google result.
