nielsm posted:I've decided I can mostly live with the ugly growing for now, hoping that part will get changed. I'll stick with the non-XUL urlbar if that's going to be the future anyway. But I'm still disabling all the other dumb settings, especially browser.urlbar.openViewOnFocus, browser.urlbar.update1.searchTips, and browser.urlbar.update1.view.stripHttps. Also browser.urlbar.update1.interventions but I have no idea what that's supposed to do, does anyone know? I think I might've had that last one happen to me on a different computer where I didn't bother setting all the about :config things: I get to google by going to the url bar, tabbing over to the search bar (gently caress all y'all single bar users) and hitting enter. Then Firefox put up a huge bar covering a lot of google explaining that I can just type in the search bar (please oh god we want the search referral money!).

That sounds horrible. URL bar for URLs, search box for invoking search engine. I'm also fine with using the URL bar for keyword searching, but then I'll be typing my keyword there. keyword.enabled = false browser.fixup.alternate.enabled = false browser.urlbar.autoFill = false

Long after I switched to Firefox, I was looking for a file on my old high school era USB sticks and I found a copy of Phoenix 0.5b that I used to evade the web filtering that I had completely forgotten about. Turns out I was a user for longer than I thought.

Add-ons can set the new tab page without any trouble, supposedly it keeps malware from hijacking your browser since they have to install a signed extension to set the URL. Not sure why you're seeing Facebook et al unless it's the Top Sites thing.

I assume the ui.systemUsesDarkTheme OID gets set by Firefox if it detects gconf, dot-files or some other places are set to using dark themes? FreeBSD has no central theme, and the wayland compositor doesn't implement theming either, as far as I know, since it doesn't have any window decorations - I prefer running everything in full-screen mode on a separate workspace as there are 9 of them.

Yeah, the late-night short-flash-of-light is what's always bothered me about the userChrome css method, which is why I used about :home with everything disabled.

Apparently either of those is too hard to implement now, somehow. At this point I'm just hoping the tabs can actually become "tabs" again, visible in a row along the top of the screen, instead of a separate list that you have to switch to. I also hope for a way to make the URL bar (and tabs, if they ever come back) NOT scroll off the top when you move the view down, only to come back when you move back upwards a bit. I've always found that sort of thing annoying. Fix those two and I'll stop whining. (For now.)

I've run into a weird issue with Firefox and YouTube. Typically, when I opened an video in a new tab, the video will not start until I click play, and from there, any video I navigated to from that tab would play automatically. However, now whenever I navigate to a new video in a tab, I still have to manually start the video. This is an annoyance with YouTube playlists, as I have to manually start each video once it transitions to the next entry in the playlist. I don't recall having this issue a week or two ago. Did an update break something? I'm running the YouTube Classic add-on, and the YouTube+ script in Violentmonkey, but so far messing with those doesn't seem to be having an effect.
