Stare-Out posted: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. Yeah. Send tab to device and synced bookmarks are really handy, but this is where the negotiating internal voices are at the moment. I can just use some link sharing app.

I browse the forums at work on my phone (shocking, I know) using Firefox and tonight weird poo poo started happening with fonts. Every few posts, the font will be slightly smaller. Sometimes two posts in a row, but I can't find any particular order to it.  Also, the options at the top of the page are now HUGE. I put the phone vertically to make it more obvious.  Non-vertical version:  I tried viewing the forums with Chrome and the Awful app and had no problems. Just Firefox. I updated a bunch of apps yesterday, so I'm guessing that changed something, but loving around with font sizing and selection in my phone's Settings didn't help. I even did a full restart. EDIT: and as usual, 30 seconds after posting that, I found the option on my phone's version of Firefox to turn _off_ automatic font resizing under Settings > Accessibility. And that's fixed it. Still don't know why random posts were slightly shrunken, though. Oh well, it's fixed now and can't possibly ever come back to haunt me. \/\/\/ Thanks for the help.

I use 3 monitors - can I make a shortcut or set the default launch option on Firefox to open a specific 2 tabs on each monitor? Like I open whatever shortcut for: Monitor 1: Tab1:Work thing Tab2: Work thing Monitor 2: Tab1: SA Tab2: Youtube Monitor 3: Tab1: Whatsapp web Tab2: Telegram web But specifically always on those displays

I have Firefox to open previous tabs/windows on start, and that remembers the window positions including which monitor the windows were on. The trick is just that you can't quit Firefox by closing the windows then, you need to open the hamburger menu and select Quit. (The hotkey Ctrl+Shift+Q should also work.)

Another way might be to create a shortcut with long options using --new-window and --new-tab and/or profiles.

No idea what they did with FF94.0 but it feels snappy as f*** now. And I'm normally the guy who when seeing those "feels snappier" guys with no actual benchmark comparisons just rolling his his eyes so hard that it gives me a headache. Well that guy is me this time, I'm the placebo guy, eating my sugar pills.

It's doubly weird because the notification has a checkbox right in itself to disable the warning. So, if you hate it, you'd have to only see it once, instead of diving into the options screen. Maybe they were running low on their bad idea quota.

I'm a hopeless tab hoarder so this is good to know, but the bug that corrupted "restore previous session" is fixed a long time ago so you don't lose anything if you accidentally close your 40-tab monstrosity.

also annoyed at insertion of the tiny "Firefox Suggest" text between the naive hostname autocomplete and awesomebar results, which doesn't really matter but it's throwing off my visual memory of how that UI element "should" look. separating those two is arguably useful since they are different, but a thin dividing line would maybe look less stupid. petty as hell grievance though, I know.

Oh for gently caress'S SAKE. Firefox just updated to 94.0, and changed a bunch of small look&feel stuff, AGAIN. I'm on Ubuntu so I may be behind in the curve, hopefully you've all seen & dealt with this crap already. New page / tab shortcuts are all shrunk, with micro-sized icons in them instead of fullsize previews or expanded icons as per before. Other small stuff on the SA forum in particular include dropdown menus being different (no biggie) [edit: removed], and a few other image/buttons look wrong. All minor stuff compared to the new page / tab thing looking fugly for no reason. If I find a fix to that only firefox/unity menu issue I swear I'll hop to waterfox and never look back, this is really antagonizing constantly having to fix things. vv edit: cheers, after testing it's only the megathreads suffering from slowdown which apparently I never noticed before. But yea, that's not really an issue compared to constantly have to arm-wrestle to keep the new page tab and navigation bar acting the same.

If you're experiencing slowdown with the pages dropdown in threads on SA, I'd like to note that vb2 abused dropdown menus to create those and they aren't really set up to handle threads with many hundreds or thousands of pages very well. On older/slower computers, or especially on mobile devices, it can get pretty bad. Firefox at least seems to defer dealing with most of that until you interact with the popup menu, so it doesn't impact all the page loads where you don't touch them and only slows things down on the rare occasion when you open the menu. In time, SA will replace that style of page navigation with something that isn't a popup menu.

Why, when finding that the software doesn't handle dropdowns for thousands of pages very well, didn't the coders just change it to a text field? I would even like that more than a dropdown regardless.

I would even like that more than a dropdown regardless. "It still 'works'" and "there are way more urgent problems" were probably as powerful motivators in the past as they are now, plus the need to ensure that such a fundamental change wouldn't accidentally gently caress up the experience for people using an unofficial third-party app or browser addon. For example, this may have already been resolved by now, but I believe at one point one of them determined the total number of pages by counting the number of elements in the popup. As mentioned, it's planned.

Plus for a long time the forum database or server or whatever choked on threads with more than a couple hundred pages, and mods would lock threads that got to like 400 pages preemptively. So when ZDR or someone fixed that issue and we could have 1000 page threads, everyone was so happy that the page dropdown locking up our browser was dismissed as a minor inconvenience.
