Klyith posted:Oh that's a great call, going down versions will break the profile in random partial ways while leaving other parts untouched. Unfortunately that doesn't make recovery any easier. There’s also this: https://www.sordum.org/12298/simple-firefox-backup-v1-2/ It doesn’t back up the whole directory, just like the bookmarks and settings I think, but you can add/remove stuff from it so it’s more thorough. 5+ years ago Firefox messed up my profile frequently enough that I installed Firefox portable and backed the entire application up regularly. I’ll admit I trust fate a bit more than I should these days.

I went on the beta release ages ago to try and solve some problems and then (I thought) went over to 64bit after downloading and installing that version. You said it, 2016 Megillah Gorilla, god loving dammit indeed. A 4 year unexploded landmine, that's some poo poo right there. Megillah Gorilla posted:Control panel shows it was installed/updated on 27th September, which is just bizarre. But, it also shows a tonne of other programs installed/updated on that date, too. Yeah those dates must get reset by windows updates or something, I've got a bunch of poo poo that says 8/27/2020 and some of it is old stuff that's been on my PC for years.

Has anyone managed to get the Dark Reader extension and SA to play along nicely? When I have it set to Static/Dynamic spoiler tags don't work:  When I set it to Filter I get white spoiler tags but it inverts all embedded videos   I just went along with no spoiler tags for ages but I just had an ending of a game I'm playing ruined  Happy to try another Dark Mode extension...

Jeff has mentioned bringing out a dark mode for SA so hopefully you don't need to worry about it soon.

I recommend not using that extension on SA if it has weird side effects like that, but instead using one of the nice dark mode stylesheets - when I want to use a dark mode I use a slightly-modified version of the one called "Something Awfully Wronger".

Hell yeah thanks, using that stylesheet now. One small gripe, is there anyway to turn off the post dimming/highlighting?

It still needs some work (it doesn't support the 3 new bookmark colors yet and the bookmark colors it does support are quick-and-dirty), but it's probably still several steps better than the default. https://paste.mozilla.org/qnXok6av/raw Other stuff I changed included inverting the plat icons, hiding the default stupid newbie icon because it's so blinding white, basic support for the initial 3 bookmark highlight colors. Maybe something else.

After I switched off the beta channel 4 goddamn years ago, I must have left the 32bit version installed as "insurance" in case the 64bit one screwed up again. For 4 years, the 32bit versions sat there, unused and unseen. Just waiting to mess my poo poo up.

Apple Silicon native support in 84 works great! High CPU watching videos but I think that’s always been a wrinkle for non safari browsers on MacOS?

Apple offers the VideoToolbox framework for VAAPI-like access to encoding and decoding via hardware offload, so I imagine Mozilla either needs to or is working on getting that enabled, assuming Apples own silicon supports it.

This may be better-answered in a different context, but is there an extension to Firefox that allows for the viewing of twitter without JavaScript? It looks like twitter just removed (or gimped) their non-javascript-based mobile.twitter.com domain. Alternatively, is there a site that acts as a mirror of live twitter that doesn't require JS?

The only good way remaining is Tweetdeck, which Twitter bought some time ago, and which is what social media people and Twitter developers tend to use. It's also the only way to properly filter out all the likes and retweets that crop up in the timeline, and the only way to get the monotonically-increasing timeline (rather than one sorted by what Twitter thinks you're interested in).

You could always use nitter(.net), which has a ton of extensions which'll redirect twitter links to it. It's to twitter what newpipe &c. are to youtube. There are options you can turn on that require javascript, but it works without it (so far as I know, I didn't exactly test it out much). The obvious drawback is that it isn't (and I can't find a way to) view your twitter feed. You can view specific accounts and tweets, but if you wanted to endlessly scroll your timeline, I don't think there's a way. So that's possibly a problem, depending on what you mean by "viewing twitter."

Is it just me or does sending tabs from desktop to mobile no longer work quite right? The notification doesn't pop up anymore unless I manually go to my account on mobile and tell it to sync (and it'll say last synced 0 minutes ago before I hit the button). I even let it sit overnight with a sent tab and nothing ever popped up.

Both vertical tabs and tab grouping do sound like potentially nice features to support natively, mind.

According to their bugzilla, one of the things they are considering is hover card tooltips for the bookmarks bar with a thumbnail of the site; I hope that does not make it through or can be disabled. It sounds like the initial design is going to have much taller tabs in 'normal' mode. The reason the fellow suggested putting vertical tabs in compact mode to begin with was apparently so that they wouldn't have to support regular-sized tabs any longer, but luckily it sounds like most people understand that vertical tabs should not be tied to a specific mode. This is from their 'early mockup' where 'designs are still TBD':

I got a new PC with a 4k monitor, and I'm on Linux so of course there are fun little issues. I'm running KDE and I was able to increase screen elements to get things to a usable size, but for whatever reason Firefox doesn't follow the setting even though from what I've read GTK apps are supposed to. I was able to increase web page size easily enough by setting the default zoom to 150%, but the menu text is still tiny. Here's what Firefox looks like compared to other apps: I know I can Google my way out of this, but I'm hoping someone here has run into the same issue to save me some time. I tried setting layout.css.devPixelsPerPx in about :config to a different value, but that just changes the spacing and icon size and leaves the text the same size. I also found some CSS hacks that I'm sure is the way I'll need to fix it, but the ones I found online were older and didn't work, I'm hoping someone here has the right stuff in their CSS files. Thanks. Edit: Never mind, it wasn't an either-or, I needed to tweak both layout.css.devPixelsPerPx and add the below to userChrome.css. /* #tabbrowser-tabs, #navigator-toolbox, menuitem, menu, ... */ * { font-size: 15px !important; } Edit 2: I suspect I'm not the only person who will be looking for this too: #PlacesToolbar #OtherBookmarks { display:none!important; } Knormal fucked around with this message at 08:11 on Jan 6, 2021 |

If you need to keep flash working for something of critical importance that is local to you*, the answer is to install a separate instance of a different browser, for example an old version of chrome/chromium. Never use that browser for the general internet. *ex: a hardware device with flash interface If you need to keep flash working for something of critical importance on the internet, use a VM to run your out of date browser. Windows Sandbox is easily enabled on any win10 system. It is a giant hassle. Use that hassle as a reason to stop using whatever website still needs flash in 2021.

On the one hand, it's the most frustrating answer computer touchers can give, because it's completely unhelpful. Even "run it in a VM with snapshots to revert to when finished" is more helpful. On the other hand, computer touchers having to support whatever setup the user is used to, and where the EOL was announced over three and a half years before the product was killed off, is incredibly frustrating. I'm not sure there are any good solutions.
