I've still not found a way to allow me to scroll my mouse wheel on the tab bar to switch tabs. Anyone? Also, I think the only SALR feature I am really missing is the feature that put threads with unread topics first in my bookmarks. Is there any way to get this feature through a Grease/Violent monkey script?

xamphear posted:Impossible with WebExtensions. Unless you use Tree Style Tab and install another addon that enables wheel scrolling in TST itself, and not the actual tab bar. Well crap. Guess it's just a muscle memory to unlearn then.

That is just absurd. Looks like an auto hotkey script will be needed for when I eventually move off of ESR if even Chrome can't do that. Unless they got rid of tab switch hotkeys as well?

I'm a new FF convert from Chrome -- how do I apply this userscript to FF? I've been pretty impressed with the speed of FF 57. It reminds me of old Opera 12, though no browser has been nearly as customizable since.

So is there any way to actually change the goddamn keybindings in 57? You'd think this would be something relatively simple, but nope, apparently not. The few extensions I've tried either don't work at all or don't seem able to alter the existing shortcuts (like you can't make ctrl+n open a new tab since that's already bound to new window).

That has also been my experience. Extensions also cannot add keybindings to the context menu, nor is there any way to make an extension with multiple top-level context menu entries. It's a lot more clicks to do what I'm used to doing. This is all stuff that should have been ready day one and shows how much of a rush they were in to force 57 out the door.

A ton of stuff with YouTube and Facebook didn't work with previous versions of Firebox, but now that's all sorted out. And even when YouTube does something to gently caress up, Firefox is up there with 'something is slowing this poo poo down' drop down that, when you press 'stop it,' it loving moves. I can see why Mozilla wanted this out and about. Now for a few extensions to catch up. But at this point, I don't even think I need Multi-Row tabs. I wouldn't mind them but outside of SALR I think I'm set currently.

I just saw a commercial on TV for Firefox 57. Huh. Anyway if anyone else cared about this: Knormal posted:
I'm finding 57 okay so far, there's a few little things I miss but the userChrome tweaks still let me customize the interface more than any other browser so I'm satisfied. I won't be jumping ship. I just don't get why they wouldn't make options in Settings to change those things, since they're still possible, rather than making me edit a text file. I don't mind doing it, but that's way beyond what the average user's going to want to do. But then again I guess the "average user" is coming from Chrome anyway now and won't care about those style choices.

I used to see tweets embedded in the forums. Tweets are no longer embedded. I don't remember if this was a native forums thing or part of a greasemonkey script. Is this a problem with my forums settings, firefox settings, or script settings?

So is there no more browser.tabs.CloseButtonLoc or whatever it was called? How do I move my tabs out of the status bar to under the address bar, and also make the close tab X uniformly on the far right for all tabs?

Now that FF is dumb and doesn't let you adjust the UI anymore how on earth do I get rid of that something - visit part of the "awesome" bar search results because I never want that and hate it and had it gone until 57?

Get comfortable using the remote debugger and userChrome.css, because Mozilla isn't going to support APIs that let you hide their precious UI. Also I guess Mozilla has written themselves a free pass to constantly break everything and claim that userChrome isn't really supported.

If you want to get rid of the search with... poo poo as well, toggle browser.urlbar.oneOffSearches to false as well in about :config. Courtesy of the Classic Theme Restorer guy. It was the only fix I really wanted in their userChrome.css fixes package.

What's the best version should I roll back to if I don't want 57? While I do like how the new version is much quicker than Firefox of old, SALR is a dealbreaker for me and I feel lost and afraid trying to navigate without it.

Keep in mind that 55 did something to user profiles and you'd have to start fresh on 52. Not 56; 56 will desperately try to update because it's not even getting patched for security anymore. The next ESR is 59, and while the old ESR will linger for a while alongside the new, it won't be more than one or two point releases, so legacy SALR has about four or five months left to live.

Note that you'll probably need to change the "background-image: linear-gradient(#ebebea,#ebebea) !important;" line for your system, that's the hex value of the background color of the tab bar, which for some reason if left to default is just slightly off from the color of everything else in the UI.

Bieeardo posted:This seems like a funny definition of 'extended' they're working with. Hm? Each ESR cycle lasts 9 standard release cycles (which are 6 weeks each) which overlaps with the next ESR release for the last 2 cycles. So you can stay on one ESR version for 378 days versus 42 days. In comparison, say, Firefox 3.5 got its first release June 30, 2009 and the last security patches with 3.5.19 on April 28, 2011. However it was only meant to have received patches up to August 2010 originally, as 3.6 was scheduled for and launched January 21, 2010.

Bieeardo posted:This seems like a funny definition of 'extended' they're working with. The main thing is they are intentionally being assholes about not scheduling an ESR around the biggest change to their ecosystem since forever. If there was a 56 ESR there would be plenty of time for the die-hards to adjust and the extension writers could take their time.

When a tab finishes loading there's this little blue left-to-right pulse on it on the tab bar, as though it's telling me that it's finished loading. How do I turn that off? I would google it but I don't even know what a feature like that is called, since it's not an actual progress bar.
