Does anyone know if there's any way to paste Excel data into Firefox and have it keep its table structure? This works fine in other browsers, but Firefox pastes it in rows of plain text without a table. I tried searching for it and found a workaround of pasting into Word, then Firefox, but that's a bit of a hassle for how often I'll be doing this.

Do you have some web form with a rich text editor that somehow works with tables in other browsers but not in Firefox? I would complain to the developers of said web application.

The thing that I like about Firefox's big UI updates is that there is almost always a way to disable or revert things. This time, I deleted all of the dumb extra space on either side of the URL bar, and deleted a bunch of extra new buttons. I have a small quirk that they changed the icon of the bookmarks menu to a Star with a bracket under it-- I keep accidentally clicking on the "show sidebars" button thinking it is bookmarks. Changing the Firefox default theme to "light" helped revert the non-current tabs to a light background instead of black. Now if only I could find a way to disable the short fade in/out menus on the bookmark menu and such.

Update: profile refresh fixed the borked uBlock Origin. My phone just updated to the latest Firefox for Android, and wow, Mozilla have the absolute worst UI designers on the entire planet. I have my Nexus 6P set to a high scaling mode so I can see *more* things on the screen, but it thinks I want the tablet UI as a result (which can't be changed). As of the latest update, that gives me enough space for something like 10 characters of the URL to be visible. Good thing seeing the URL isn't important to identify phishing sites, guys.

You can set it to use fewer processes in options but I don't think it will save much memory by doing so. You'll just have two 500 mb threads instead of four that go like 400-350-250-10 or whatever. e: FRINGE posted:This is a bullshit response. There are still people stuck with the hardware they have, and a basic browser should not be a resource pit. (And I say that with Chrome in mind as the worst offender most of the time.) The good thing about having multiple processes is that the OS can hopefully page out more of those tabs out to the disk since their content process is doing nothing. You may see it take up 500mb of memory in Task Manager, but that doesn't mean 500mb of real RAM use. Klyith fucked around with this message at 23:51 on Nov 16, 2017 |

Or Firefox could have launched 57 with support for tabs.discard() instead of rushing out a release that doesn't even reach the low bar Chrome sets.

Firefox 57 for Android question. What's the equivalent of the override web fonts setting on the desktop? because the option to not download web fonts isn't equivalent, or simply doesn't work. Basically on my GF's phone, I've replaced the Roboto fonts with Dyslexie (because she's Dyslexic) and now I'm trying to make Firefox for Android use "Roboto" for everything as well, but sites like the BBC are still showing in their own cutom snowflake font.

Man people think this update is bad? I have only been pleasantly surprised and VERY impressed/happy with everything in the new update. Even things I thought would be terrible like the extension shenanigans, just made me realize I used stupid extensions that probably shouldn't be updated.

There's a few glitches, but nothing that won't be ironed out within a few weeks, but losing extensions takes time to get used to. Overall Quantum looks like it will be okay but for now it's half-baked.

For me, luckily, the couple of extensions that I use were updated and work nicely (ublock origin is the main one). I am perfectly fine with this update. Wasn't blown away by the speed, probably because i already have a fast computer and I never have more than 15 tabs open (i start closing if i get around that number, it makes me nervous for some reason).

Maybe it's great under the hood, but as someone who doesn't use 100s of tabs all the time and had no reason to complain about browser performance for the past ~decade, that bothers me much less than missing functionality, awful design decisions and the tendency to patronize its users unless they want to manually mess with user.css and install a billion (fewer with WebExt I guess) addons to revert changes. Or generally: "may as well use Chrome now". Also the Android release is pure poo poo and I've gone back to an older APK even faster than back when they removed my prefered tab layout in tablet mode with version 36 or thereabouts.

Thank you for actually submitting a bug report instead of throwing a fit and doing nothing.

Does anyone know if it's at all possible to hide context menu entries created by extensions? I've gone through all the native context menu clutter but a bunch of extensions have completely unnecessary context clutter. As far as I can tell the elements for extension context menus cannot be touched by userChrome.css. Ideally I'd want to move the context entries for Open With out of a submenu so it doesn't require as many actions. Secondly is there a hotkey to open the overflow menu? I have some extensions I very rarely need to open and don't have cluttering up my UI all the time. Before I used the bottom bar which was normally hidden and I could open with Ctrl+/. Firefox 57 has been far worse than I expected it to be. Fortunately it hasn't been as bad as my worst case fears, but this definitely isn't ready to be called a stable, public release.
