That's really bizarre that it works when you log out of Youtube but aren't in a private window, it sounds like something got screwed up in a Google setting somewhere. If you go into Youtube's settings, under playback and performance, what's this set to?  Also, try signing into Youtube while in a private window and see if it follows you there.

Playback and performance looks exactly like the screenshot you posted. I can open a private window, watch a 1080p video, click "Sign In," go back to the same video and I'm only offered up to 720p. Everything works exactly how it should in Chrome, whether I'm signed in or not.

Looks like this was a problem a lot of other people were having three years ago, which I guess YT fixed after a few days. But apparently I'm the only one experiencing it right now. https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/9usydq/1080p_resolutions_disappeared_from_all_videos/ I switched my preferences to "Always Prefer AV1" (no idea what that means) and that seems to have solved it for the moment.

I don't have an answer for you, it working in a private window tell me that it's either one of your add-ons, which is getting disabled when going in private mode, or like the above poster said, maybe Google is just doing a random experiment, and congrats you were picked! I use Enhancer for YouTube for all my Youtube interacting, maybe it can help, there are some playback options for Youtube, like setting defaults, etc.

Enhancer for YouTube is one of those extensions I couldn't live without. YouTube always used to default me to potato quality no matter what I did. Now I have it set to 1440 as the minimum standard resolution. Plus the built in dark themes and actually have options for video player size which aren't useless.

I'm curious what would happen with the YouTube thing if you set your user agent string to chrome. Not as a long term solution, obviously.

Speaking of Youtube, what happened to the autoplay button on the address bar? I used to have it for Youtube and now it's gone and every video starts autoplaying the second I open it or switch to the tab.

If you mean the icon on the tab, they changed it so when you hover over it appears in place of the favicon instead of being a permanent icon on the side. The autoplay options on the address bar are still there within the permissions menu

The autoplay icon shows up for other sites with video content but not Youtube, for me, clicking that icon brings up a thing that shows if I'm allowing Youtube to send notifications, use my microphone etc. but nothing about autoplay. E: To clarify, the icon shows up on the address bar next to that little settings icon. I'm on the latest version of FF too. Stare-Out fucked around with this message at 17:45 on Sep 28, 2021 |

Speaking of favicons, is there a way to choose the icon for your bookmarks? There are still a bunch of extensions which will let you change the favicon for an individual tab (I use faviconswitcher which is about as simple to use as it is possible to get), but not for bookmarks.

Anyone have this irregular issue where the Reader Mode sometimes just renders the cookies warning (or whatever text that isn't the article you're trying to read)? Doesn't happen often but every now and then this will happen. And if I exit reader mode, I don't even see the cookies overlay to close it out!

Is your adblocker possibly hiding a cookie message, which the reader then displays?

Hmm, it does display correctly in a private tab. But if I disable uBlock and try again in a regular tab I get the same behavior

I'm just wondering whether I got no responses because there's no solution, or because nobody knows what the hell I'm talking about, because I can possibly fix the latter problem. By "dropdown tab list," I'm talking about the "List all tabs" button at the end of the tab bar.

If you always have the exact same set of pinned tabs, I think you could hide the first n elements in that list with CSS, but it would be a hardcoded thing and wouldn't adjust to how many or few pinned tabs you actually have if that ever changes. e: code:Hargrimm fucked around with this message at 20:17 on Oct 5, 2021 |

I think you got no response because pinned tabs have sorted to the front forever, and that change is bringing the drop-down into sync with everything else. There was an old extension I used to use called "iconify tabs" or something like that, which shrunk a tab down just like pinning it. So if you don't really use pinning as pinning, just for getting more tabs on the bar, you might switch to that.

For me, it used to be that pinned tabs didn't show up at all on the "List all tabs" dropdown. Which is what I want, because since they're pinned and always on my screen, I have no need of them taking up useless space on the dropdown. So, I am using pinned tabs for their intended purpose of being pinned, but I just wish they still weren't showing up at all on the dropdown list.

there's a new version of firefox out, and you know what that means: more dumb poo poo to disable Settings > Privacy & Security > scroll down to Address Bar > turn off "Include occasional sponsored suggestions" I mean I guess you can try looking at the ads first if you want.

With that in mind, and from reading that page, it looks like it's a US/non-US thing.quote:Users outside of the U.S. will experience this feature with local results only (browsing history, bookmarks, and open tabs).

This part also suggests it hasn't been rolled out to everyone in the US yet :quote:Note: Firefox Suggest is currently available for a limited number of users in the U.S. only. As for it not being available at all outside the US, maybe it's a GDPR thing?

I'm not inherently against the idea (though I wish it was opt-in instead of opt-out), but I do think they should consider defining what information is sent, since they claim no PII is involved - because PII isn't very thoroughly defined.

Huh, they've gone back to using text from previous versions. It was only a tiny annoyance, but I'm glad to see it changed. No more "remove bookmark" it's back to "delete bookmark" and "watch video in new tab" is back to "open video in new tab" and a bunch more. Thanks to whoever at Mozilla was responsible for that.

Now if only we could get them to change the right-click menu items from "link" (as in "Copy image link") back to "address", which it was for a zillion years and is more correct anyway. (drat it, an address is a URL, a link is an HTML construct containing that URL. But what's actually copied to the clipboard is the address, not a link.)

I use the Brave Browser on iOS but I am sure it is some sort of secret Chinese keylogger. But hey it blocks ads esp on YouTube, and let’s me watch videos while the phone screen is off.

Unless sync is a dealbreaker, you might as well just use Safari as it's really good on iOS 15 with extension support and a great tab switcher. I hope iOS FF gets up to par with it at some point.
