With the full multi-account containers extension, is there any way to have the same behavior as the Facebook container extension, but only for some containers? For Facebook and friends I want the container to close and open a new tab in the default container if I navigate elsewhere or open a new tab from the Facebook container, but for some other stuff I want the default MAC behavior, where links visited or tabs opened from a container remain in it, even if the new site isn't in that container's list of applicable domains.

They put the tab bar context menu entries for closing multiple tabs in a submenu and they still didn't add "Close Tabs to the Left", so now it's a whole submenu for "Close Tabs to the Right" and "Close Other Tabs".

Firefox had tab control perfect. Well, Tab Mix Plus did. Remember being able to choose from a massive list of commands and have them - and only them - show up in your context menu? Now it's just so irritating to do anything with multiple tabs. I'm still annoyed that, to bookmark all open tabs, you have to first select all tabs, then go to bookmark tabs. It's a pointless extra step. And, more importantly, takes more time which is a big issue given that the only time I want to bookmark everything is if something is going wonky or the power has started flickering. Or opening multiple tabs without it stealing focus which I can't even believe is still a thing. How about a big "Do you ever want a tab or popup to steal focus? Yes/No?" line in about:config.

Or opening multiple tabs and not having it bog itself down by trying to load everything at exactly the same time, instead of just placing them a bit, which also helps prevent servers from blocking you with 429 errors.

I too am here to complain about tabs. The new Firefox for Android tabs are a huge downgrade. Who thought it was a good idea to make an additional tab button necessary for opening a new tab and to place it at the furthest possible point on the screen from the first?

So, the Facebook Container extension has some feature where not only do sites in a container's list open in that container, the container will close and open a new tab in the default container if you navigate away from them. If I'm on Facebook, within the Facebook container, and click a link to fartpiss.com, fartpiss.com opens in a default container tab. The same is true if I enter a new URL in the address bar of an existing containerized tab. With the full-blown multi-account container extension, this is different: when inside a container, navigating to a link or typing a URL whose domain isn't in the container list the tab remains inside the container/does not reopen a new tab in the default container. I want the MAC extension behavior for some containers but not for others--Facebook and such I generally only want Facebook itself inside the container, and nothing else. Is there a way to toggle whether the containers use the FBC default behavior versus the MAC default behavior? If it's not possible to set on a per-container basis I'd be fine setting it to use the FBC-like behavior always.

Geemer posted:Add an exception for youtube here: (Buttons obviously not there. No context menus, either.) E: Solved, if somewhat poorly. If I set the default to Block Audio and Video and then visit a site that plays video, I can then click the media icon in the URL bar to add an exception setting, then return the default to normal. Then change that specific site to what I want. gary oldmans diary fucked around with this message at 03:06 on Jul 6, 2020 |

Testing it on SA, the problem is as described. Viewing a page with embedded MP4 files won't normally give you a permissions dropdown from the icon in the url bar. But it will if you block all video by default. At least on streaming sites it seems to work as intended and give you the dropdown straight away regardless of your default setting.

# ? Jul 6, 2020 05:26 |
Yeah that's a stupid design everywhere in Firefox. You can't add a site to a list (as exception or whatever) ahead of time, only way is to visit it and then find where the option to add it is buried, and maybe you need to activate something so the site requests the permission, before you're allowed to add it. The Multi-account Containers extension has the same issue: I can't define a container and then a list of URLs to apply it to, I have to jump through hoops to put a site into a container. There isn't even an "open in a new container" thing for links.

I think the trick to force them to make changes is to write a nice addon that circumvents bad functionality. If it gets sufficiently popular then they get shamed into correcting it. Passive aggressive development. Could you add a range of autoplay block exceptions through an addon?

Passive aggressive development. Could you add a range of autoplay block exceptions through an addon? Mozilla is way ahead of you: extensions can't interact with those types of settings. I used to handle cookies this way, with firefox set to session only by default and a whitelist of sites to allow permanently. There was an extension that made adding to the whitelist very easy. Then mozilla changed things so that extensions couldn't touch the whitelist anymore, and I had to switch to Cookie Autodelete.

So why don't more people in this thread actually just stop using FF, instead of complaining non stop. Seems far easier.

So at my work we're finally looking at switching over from the 32-bit ESR to the 64-bit as we move from version 68 to 78, since we've finally reached the point where the majority of our PCs are on 64-bit versions of Windows. But apparently Firefox considers the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the browsers different release channels, so if I uninstall the 32-bit version and install the 64-bit it starts up with a brand new profile. It's easy enough for an experienced user to switch back with the profile manager, but this is way beyond our average user's capability. Is there any way to force Firefox to just use the existing profile from first launch, even if it's from a different Firefox channel? I assume there's some file somewhere in that profile that tells what channel it's for, maybe I can mess with that?

I just tested, and it looks like for me it pops up an 'Important News' dialogue-box where it basically says you have to setup a firefox account to sync stuff - so since you're in an enterprise environment, you may want to look into setting up your own sync server, and you'll probably also want to use autoconfig to set up authentication against the syncserver (which unfortunately can't be done with group policies, I think).

Setting up an on-prem sync server is way more work than I'm prepared to go through, but thanks for looking at it. I'm assuming we'll just have to rip the band-aid off and send out instructions on how to restore your profile, then hand-hold everyone who can't follow them.

Is there an extension I can install to automate the execution of arbitrary JS on certain URLs? I created bookmarklets that set styles on certain elements to center fixed-width content. They work great when I remember to click them. I'd like something that will automatically execute these small snippets of JS when I'm on a matching URL.
