Hipster_Doofus posted:Other app? Forgive me I'm really out of the loop. The app called "Firefox Preview" on the app store right now is what will eventually be the main Firefox for Android. It's got a new engine that's based on quantum but stripped down to be more competitive with chrome on phones. Also some different ideas about phone browser UI.

Yeah so Firefox Mobile has a little issue on Android 10... Everything else looks fine, it's just a graphical glitch on the Bookmarks/History page. It's like Firefox in CGA mode.

WattsvilleBlues posted:Firefox Preview is actually quite nice on Android. Have you tried it? I haven't. I just gave it a quick spin, but no uBO, language setting (I prefer my browser to be in English while keeping my phone set to Dutch) and the url bar being on the bottom combine together to make me not want to use it more than I have to. I'll admit it felt pretty smooth for the bit that I did use it, though.

Why must they slowly and perfectly kill my ability to have tabs at the bottom of my screen? Horrible transparency that makes it extremely annoying to read tab text, and now it overlaps with the Find section.  Thanks guys, you're really knocking it out of the park with these updates.

astral posted:Wow, I didn't know Firefox let you put tabs on the bottom. They don't really, its taking more and more effort to force them down there. Like 6 years ago it was just a button you could press, then it became addons, now I'm pretty sure I'm running some poorly coded scripts to do it. I've flipped through a few different themes since the newest update, and none of them are able to get rid of the automatic transparency on the inactive tabs. I'm tempted to go back to browsing like its 1999 and just have one firefox window per tab because this is extremely frustrating.

Applebees posted:Do you mean they autoplay without sound? You can change in the settings whether you want to block both audio and video. Yeah I have that blocked. They still autoplay somehow though. (Actually, now I test it, I'm somewhat sure they're using the "Continue with Adblocker" link on the nag screen to count as a user interaction to start the video.)

I'll probably have to when more sites start doing this. I played with it a bit more. Scrolling around the page, up and down, with the wheel, in the console I can see that their JS video player keeps trying to start. Firefox is correctly blocking it from starting. (N.B. the console log message does not appear to be correct if you block muted video:) code:

Is there really no way to make Firefox move to the tab to the left when closing a tab? I tried this add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/select-after-closing-current/ But what happens is that it opens the tab to the right, and THEN moves to the left.

I had to gently caress about so goddamn much to try and get tabs working properly after Quantum castrated Tab Mix Plus. I currently have Tab Mix - Links and Tab Open/Close Control and a couple of about :config settings changed which I can't remember off the top of my head. It's still nowhere as good as it was before, but tabs will mostly shift focus to the left when closing a tab. Mostly. Okay, often.

You can have saved logins for addons stored. Maybe some addon is triggering it? Try deleting some of the addon based logins.

With firefox 70 they're going to integrate their lockwise password manager, so if I was using FF saved passwords for things now I might sit tight and see what that's like. But real password managers are a good thing and everyone should use them.WattsvilleBlues posted:May I suggest an alternative? A third party password manager with two factor authentication. I use and like Bitwarden. Hmmmm... I don't know if I'd want two-factor on my password manager, at least for personal use? The thing that makes cloud passwords a good idea is that you have complete redundancy in case of disaster data-loss, so you don't get locked out by your own really strong passwords. But 2FA brings back a single point of failure. (I do have 2fa on almost all the important accounts that are in the password manager though.) If it was a company that was issuing yubikeys and had central management, that's a different story. PirateBob posted:How do you know you can trust Bitwarden? as in they are evil and steal your accounts: they are US-based and would go to prison as in they gently caress up and let hackers steal everything: 1password has been around longer and has a very good security track record. keepass is open source and very secure though less user friendly.PirateBob posted:Edit: Also, if I switch to a third party like e.g. Bitwarden, is there any way to export/import like a hundred logins?

Yeah, you're focusing on the wrong problem and are almost certainly making yourself more vulnerable than you would be with a password manager (unless you're a complete lunatic who generates passwords by hand with a set of dice or something).
