Cool Dad: Jun 15, 2007; It is always Friday night, motherfuckers

I just installed the new firefox because I saw a thing on Facebook. Ten minutes in it's already way faster than Chrome was.

Like, yeah, 57 was obviously way loving faster, but losing a shitload of functionality doesn't feel worth it, at least IMO.

I could live without a few things like not being able to switch to a tab by mousing over it, but losing out on gestures and middle mouse button scroll is absurd.

Anyone have a replacement for Cookie Keeper?
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cookiekeeper/
There's a few addons like it, it lets me whitelist specific cookies and delete all the rest.

Cookie AutoDelete
It lets you whitelist domains, and deletes everything else either when the tab closes or after X minutes.
Can't select specific cookies though, only (sub)domains.

I've been using Cookie Autodelete which deletes them after I close the tab unless they've been whitelisted. Supposedly can also kill cookies on demand but I haven't bothered using that functionality.

Can you clarify how middle mouse scrolling is broken? Because I can use the middle-mouse button to get the bubble and scroll by moving the cursor up/down no problem.

If you don't like how tabs flash on load completion, here's some chrome

code:

.tab-loading-burst[bursting]::before {
    animation: none !important;
}

I seriously can't believe how garbage the new start page is.
Why would they cut down on the number of bookmarks you can have there while at the same time introducing a fuckload of empty space?

EDIT: Found some solutions.

Setting browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.enabled to False reverts the top sites page back to how it was before.

browser.newtabpage.columns and browser.newtabpage.rows lets you adjust the number of bookmarks you can have there.

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.

First up, a developer of a free add-on can decide to abandon their project at any time. Secondly, the new APIs provided by Mozilla are very limited based on what could be done before. So not every add-on is even possible anymore. In fact, thousands and thousands aren't and all the dev work in the world isn't going to change that.

Middle button scroll works fine for me on both windows & linux.

Just change your Firefox theme on the customize menu, should work fine. Matching your windows theme is only a default.

Just updated my extensions and, as part of that, got the new version of Stylish.

And about a dozen of my scripts just vanished

Thought I might be able to find where the scripts are stored and recover them.

Nope, Stylish stores everything in a single file. But it does keep the scripts as plain text within that file, so you can theoretically recover them.

But the new version of Stylish overwrote the file and now I only have three scripts left.

EDIT - found a SQLite Manager extension which has let me recover 5 of my 'lost' scripts from a separate profile. The rest are just gone.

Get rid of Stylish - it's got malware in it.

It's been cloned and fixed and is now maintained as "Stylus", and there's a webextension version.

Tree Style Tab and a bit of userchrome & about:config to get rid of the original tabbar and I'm pretty happy with the new Firefox.

Can anyone suggest replacements for the following addons?

Download Manager Tweak - Puts the download window into a tab instead of a dropdown menu
DownThemAll - Specifically the download manager aspect for when I'm downloading from slow lovely sites like Baidu. Am I going to have to pretend it's 1997 again and install GetRight?
KonqueFox - Adds an "up" button to the navbar, and also buttons that clear the text from the location bar or search bar

Just a heads up: because TST can't relocate and restyle the actual tab bar, any other add-on that does things with/to tabs won't work with it anymore. Fortunately the developer has built in an API for TST itself, so other devs can make add-ons that work with it. If you're missing features like mousewheel scrolling through tabs then search AMO, there are already a few TST related add-ons out there.

Stylish is not malware.

It was bought / partnered with a for-profit company, and it does ping their servers with the location of every single website you visit (because it loads the available styles for the site). So if you care about telemetry collection, they're doing that. OTOH if you're that :tinfoil:

about big data, why are you using a web browser at all? The rest of the internet is also tracking you, "incognito mode" does nothing, you are a number not a person.

IMHO the real deal on stylish vs its forks is that Stylish is now very focused on pre-made styles, and the forks are still pretty much built for making your own stuff. So if you just want stuff like a youtube dark mode that auto-updates and don't give a poo poo that yet another company knows what porn sites you like, use Stylish. If you want to hack on CSS yourself switch.

Under that definition google and facebook are also spyware.

So if you're like blocking those with noscript and hosts entries as well, fine you also probably don't want to use stylish. That's your call. But telling people that stylish is malware, or somehow worse than everything else on the internet, is false.

It's a forums thing, related to the hackjob of code* used to make them embed in the first place. It happens on and off in both Firefox and Chrome.

* - By this, I don't mean the person who coded it did a halfass job or anything, but rather that they had to deal with radiums code, making it harder than it should have been.
