is there a way to strip a certain string from URLs? sometimes my work email doesn't let me access certain, valid work locations because it doesn't recognize the domain, so it attaches code:

Urldefense.com is a blight, up there with [EXTERNAL] [EXTERNAL] [EXTERNAL] [EXTERNAL] [EXTERNAL].

I know enough JS that I might be able to fix it, but don't what the current obfuscation scheme is, or ability to test anything. IMO just start forwarding emails that have blocks on known, easily-valid-for-work domains to your IT department with "please whitelist" in the subject line.

The Redirector add-on isn't too bad to set up imo. Works with basic wildcards or full on regex.

Flipperwaldt posted:It's like that in regex, which is probably what it uses internally in either mode. Idk the history. But it calls back to what matched the first wildcard. In case you use more than one. What matched the second wildcard would be represented by $2 etc. This sounds right. I forget which regex engine uses $# indexing for captured submatches, but I remember seeing the examples.

I hate every single thing I read about the new download flow for 98. Given the pattern of all the previous terrible changes being tacked on poo poo, is there a single about:config thing I can flip to (pre-emptively) undo it?

New download behavior is dumb, couldn't tell you how many times I've miss-clicked something and was like NO!, I just want to expand that image, but I get a download prompt instead for it... So canceled, denied, FU. Mostly the lovely web and the over-reliance on shoddy obfuscated javascript is the blame here but that's a rant for another time. (God I wish webpages were like PDFs, but na, advertiser-friendly data-mining utopia is the future...) Now let's see what else is changed in this new 98 release. - Your "download" workflow is now all hosed up. - We may have removed one of your default search engines, sucks to be you if we did. LOL Ah, so just anti-user stuff, removing existing selections. Cool. At least my CSS didn't gently caress up this time. 3% market share Mozilla... 3%. I do like that downloads are no longer put into the "system's" temp folder though. And as always those "patch notes" are terrible ya gotta wait for ( https://cat-in-136.github.io/ ) or a similar clone site that compares and highlights new or removed about :config names/values between two Firefox versions to know what actually changed. (but that's nerd poo poo)

unfortunately that proofpoint thing I did isn't working with other domains, like zoom, not sure why edit: what is happening is some of the links, besides adding that url defense at the start, are also having a long string starting with __;!! appended to the end. how do I get rid of both? because now that $1 includes that crap at the end actionjackson fucked around with this message at 20:20 on Mar 9, 2022 |

I've been trying to use more Firefox to stick it to chrome, but is there any way to get it to prioritize URls I've typed in before? Sometimes it seems to subbornly refuse to suggest URLs I've just been to. Let's say I type in "amazon.com", hit enter. Then create a new tab, type "amaz" and it still won't auto-fill it. I think Opera and/or Vivaldi would remember that because it's pretty clearly something I want to go to.

Sometimes it seems to subbornly refuse to suggest URLs I've just been to. I haven't had this problem with FF though it is actually one of my biggest pain points with Chrome which I use for work. It seems to just selectively ignore 80% of my history as candidates for address bar autocomplete. I had to install a whole extension that indexes the history and lets me query it like the address bar should just do. Anyways, there has been weird stuff done to Firefox's bar that I always turn off. See if setting any of the following to FALSE in about :config helps it behave better: browser.search.suggest.enabled browser.urlbar.unifiedcomplete browser.urlbar.suggest.searches browser.urlbar.suggest.topsites browser.urlbar.suggest.quicksuggest.sponsored browser.urlbar.suggest.quicksuggest.nonsponsored browser.urlbar.suggest.engines browser.urlbar.groupLabels.enabled

Sometimes it seems to subbornly refuse to suggest URLs I've just been to. You've probably already found this but you can also control what it pulls from in Settings. I think a lot of the are just the user-friendly toggles for the above about :config settings.

These are some good things one should tweak new in 98, ie. disable all that junk (WTF). https://github.com/mozilla/policy-templates/blob/master/README.md#usermessaging Windows GPO's policies.json about :configs Pick your poison on how you do so.

Firefox now also saves .torrent and .m3u files when you open them, no matter what you have your preferences set as. Went looking on r/Firefox and it's not just me. It's just what Firefox does now with just about anything it opens. "Always open with..." now means "Always open with...and download it too!"

anyone have thoughts on my question above? I also emailed the person who made redirector i.e. the initial filter is working, but it resolves to (website I want) (__;!!*), the appended part always starts with those characters - so if I could strip out __;!!* I would be all set edit: I think I got it! I just had to give an example expression with both patterns, it seems to work now what's weird is that it's not working on another redirect, even though the url it points too is correct. this might be because the email has an "external organization security risk" thing, so I guess I'll have to contact my employer lol actionjackson fucked around with this message at 15:14 on Mar 10, 2022 |

Megillah Gorilla posted:Firefox now also saves .torrent and .m3u files when you open them, no matter what you have your preferences set as. It always downloaded files. They went to the Temp folder, and that's how the app that opened with had a thing to open. After that, FF would delete the file if it could, but if the app was still open and had a lock on the file when you closed firefox they'd be left in Temp forever. This was good for a few reasons: it mostly did what you expected and looked like an invisible handoff from firefox to the app. But it was also bad: it's indeterminate behavior, and the Temp folder is obscure to most users. If it was a file that a user actually wanted to keep, it was unsearchable and would evaporate. And it would also build up a lot of junk data over time in Temp from files that didn't get deleted. Win 10 & 11 have a feature to automatically delete stuff out of the downloads folder if the file hasn't been opened in N days. If you use Open With a lot and don't like these files being saved, you can turn on Storage Sense for that.

quote:In 2019, Yandex agreed to a restructuring that gave a “golden share” to a newly formed Public Interest Foundation built to “defend the country’s interests,” the Guardian reported. In September last year, Yandex was embroiled in a dispute with the government during the lead up to the State Duma elections. The Russian federation put Yandex in an uncomfortable headlock when it successfully argued that it was the “owner of the exclusive rights” to the search term ‘Smart Voting.’ The term was part of an effort by the Russian opposition that formed around the once-poisoned and now jailed Alexei Navalny to challenge the inevitable election result in favor of President Putin’s incumbent party. quote:Russian tech giant Yandex has started warning Russian users looking for news about Ukraine on its search engine of unreliable information on the internet, after Moscow threatened Russian media over what they publish. Nah. gently caress 'em.
