They do say in there somewhere that all themes needed to be re-signed to deal with the kerfuffle from the certificate expiration, but it's way there on bugzilla side.

hey all, I've been using an older version of firefox since a few addons I have weren't updated for newer versions of firefox, but I'm probably going to update soon since a few sites have started to not work properly in my version. Are there any replacements for Session Manager, it is extremely useful as it creates multiple backups of tab sessions and constantly refreshes the most recent backup so in the event of a crash, it probably saved even the most recent tab changes. I hear FF has something similar as standard now, but I'm wondering how good it is at dealing with restoring crashed sessions reliably every time. Does Snaplinks Plus still work or have an equivalent addon in the most recent firefox?

I want to make sure my sessions and tabs are secure, and I really hope there's a replacement or at least similar thing to Session Manager either built in or available as an addon in the current firefox.

Captain Invictus posted:fantastic, it's basically essential. Pretty good although probably not as good as the dedicated one. When I have an OS update, I just close the window, reboot and then do Restore Previous Session. But I have on occasion forgotten I had a second window open or I've reopened Firefox to check a single thing and then all my precious tabs are like dust in the wind.

There's MySessions https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/my-sessions/ It's nowhere near as good as Session Manager but it's better than nothing. If anyone knows a superior alternative I'd love to hear about it

Other posted:There's MySessions alright, thanks. This works, sorta, the tabs no longer show the icon for what site it is(youtube logo for youtube, etc) on the tabs before they are loaded, which was very helpful before. Is there a current addon I can use for that? Also, an addon to space out the tabs a bit more, they're super squished as it stands. And youtube and imgur straight up aren't loading properly. I've disabled adblock/noscript and it didn't change anything. It will load the video in youtube but nothing else, and imgur won't load the images/comments. I thought this was a problem with the old version of firefox I was using but it seems to be something else. Any ideas? Apologies for using this thread to troubleshoot all of this, everything was working fine until a couple days ago when things started to fall apart rapidly for some reason. :/

When you're talking about "session saving", is that anything more than saving what tabs you currently have open? I use Simple Tab Groups to replace the grouping functionality that was taken out of base FF a while ago, and it automatically backs up the tab data regularly as well. If that's all you're after you could use that and just ignore the grouping functionality (though I really like it to segment everything I have open into 'workspaces' to not all be cluttering up the main tab bar mixed together). It does also save the favicons of tabs so they are visible even before the tab is reloaded after a fresh start of the browser.

Sounds great, I'll give that a go! I'm really curious about the profile thing making youtube, imgur, etc not work until a new profile is loaded. What causes that? I've been using the same profile since...probably 2013 or so when I last updated, is it just a bloat thing, or what?

I've had sites break completely simply by having a cookie that went bad. And considering how much crap sticks around in the Firefox profile over the years, I wouldn't really worry too much about trying to find that one esoteric (and probably deprecated + removed from about:config) setting, cookie, cache entry or web storage file that broke everything.

WattsvilleBlues posted:I'll check it out. How does it differ from current Firefox on Android? I found an article that provides some details. Mainly it looks like a major UI overhaul (and, looking at their Github, a major rewrite/refactor of all the UI code) combined with native ad-blocking and built-in session management (similar to what Captain Invictus was looking for on desktop). According to another related article the current Firefox for Android will be deprecated starting with Firefox 68 and will only get security updates afterwards similar to desktop ESR releases.

How does one configure adblocking on Fenix? It's called Firefox Preview at the moment on the app list, I take it upon release it just gets called Firefox and Fenix is just the code name?

Kassad posted:Just use youtube-dl or this GUI app for it and never look back. Youtube-dl is definitely the answer, it's free and can handle whatever you want to do with Youtube videos, whether it's downloading 1 video or a playlist, and you can get really fine grained control over what audio/video/subtitle streams you grab. It also works on other sites like Twitter and Reddit so it's a good general purpose video downloader.

Whoa, youtube-dl and the GUI frontend are really good. Thanks for mentioning those. Is there an extension that could be massaged to skip the step of copying/pasting the URL into Youtube-DLG so I could just right click the link in Feedly and click "Add to Youtube-DLG" for example?

jdownloader can snag youtube and will listen for links in your clipboard if you want it to. so anytime you have it open and copy a URL it will load it into a "do you want me to download this" queue

Hipster_Doofus posted:This is what I've been using for years... : This is what I've used before y'all brought up Youtube-DLG. Because of my lovely internet connection and ancient desktop I use for this, queuing up downloads in an application separate from the browser is the best I can do. Trying to just open a Youtube page is kind of a pain in the rear end. The page will lock up and video downloads will hang and be unusable. Even just Youtube-DL/DLG is a big improvement so I appreciate it greatly. Now, instead of clicking a link and hoping it loads, I just right click the link in Feedly and copy the URL and paste it in Youtube-DLG.

Did you know you can open Youtube URLs directly in VLC? It only does 720p or 360p resolution depending on the video but it lets you watch outside of a browser without downloading.
