Twitch is always trying to break things so maybe they found a way to break it again. I'm on Firefox 99 beta on Windows, though, so maybe it's just a problem with 98?

Regarding the new download flow, may I suggest Open In Browser? It's basically... well, originally it appeared alongside the classic download box and let you override it even if a file would always download. But now, it can substitute for it, I think.

I don't know if that's just me, but how can you prevent the browser from flashing a white page when clicking a link on SA (or anywhere else probably)? I'm using dark mode (stylish, but I think the native one has the same problem), and every time I click on a link to a different part of the forum, I get flashed with a white page for a split second.

Just wanted to say this is a bad fix, as some websites now switch their default background to whatever color you specified in that options menu. In my case that is black, so now some pages have a black background with black text. Currently I'm using gray, which is less annoying when it flashes, but still a dumb hack.

Did you set the text color to white as well? The white flash is from the default system color for window content. If you were still on windows 7 you could use hotdog theme and get a red flash instead. And that setting to not use system colors is overriding that. Websites can set themselves to have 2 different color schemes and let the browser pick which one based on light/dark mode. So if the browser thinks it is in light mode and you're forcing dark mode with stylish and overriding system colors, then yeah you're gonna get confused content from websites. There is a about :config pref layout.css.prefers-color-scheme.content-override that will set websites to different modes. So here's questions. What are: * your OS color scheme? * your firefox theme?

so i have a new system and copied my old profile over per the mozilla instructions and now most of my search engine icons are gone. the engines still work but the "search with" line at the bottom at the awesomebar has a bunch of blank spaces, and the icon in the suggestion apparently chooses an icon at random ("search with Google" sometimes has a DuckDuckGo icon, despite the actual DuckDuckGo option having a blank icon, sometimes has a Facbook icon, despite having no Facebook search provider enabled, and sometimes has the SA grenade icon, despite that search provider not existing _at all_) search indicates im not the only one that hits this problem, but the suggestion to delete the search json from the profile and let firefox create a fresh one doesn't work. any idea how to fix this?

Can you just delete and re-add the search engines? That might be easier than loving with profile shenanigans. Edit: Actually if it's pulling from non-search engine icons it sounds like your Firefox icon database is corrupted. Try renaming favicons.sqlite in your profile directory to favicons.sqlite.bak or something, this will wipe out all the saved favicons. You'll have to visit the sites again to get them reloaded.

WattsvilleBlues posted:https://www.xda-developers.com/mozilla-firefox-av1-codec-support/ That's the list of PC stuff with AV1 decode hardware (plus 12th gen intel iGPUs). AV1 is still new, the spec first got put out in 2018. By comparison, the H.265 spec was published in 2013. You expect a few years of lag between spec and hardware support. But the other thing is that AV1 is relatively easy to CPU decode, unlike H.265 where hardware acceleration is a big deal because CPU performance is crap. That's why Google & other companies are putting out AV1 videos now even though hardware acceleration is still limited. You can do 1080p AV1 on pretty meh CPUs. OTOH AV1 encode is a bitch so hardware acceleration for that is gonna be a while.

In the last day or so I finally bit the bullet and jumped from FF 88 up to 98. I heard this new Proton UI was not exactly popular, boy howdy is that an understatement and why the hell did the firefox people decide the UI needed to be hosed with so much ? How the hell do I get rid of all the double/increased spacing in various menus ? The added vertical spacing on all the bookmarks in the bookmarks menu made it x2 longer than it was before.

Y: Can anyone recommend an addon that renames tabs? I found "Tab Modifier" but you have to setup regex rules based on URLs. I just want to right-click on a tab and change the title and have it stick until I close it. X: When you open OneCRM SharePoint folders, the title of the page is CUSTOMER NAME PTY LTD Dealing with more than one opp/demand is basically impossible. Edit: should probably have browsed the store a little. Tab ReTitle does what I want. ~Coxy fucked around with this message at 05:37 on Mar 22, 2022 |

Is anyone else having a problem where the mobile app stops suggesting any bookmarks/history when typing in the address bar? It'll work once on restarting the browser, but then just stops completely. Between this and the "everything opens a new tab" behaviour that never seems to get fixed because they think it's a feature the newer versions are really starting to piss me off.

Click a link and it's 50/50 on whether it will load or if it will just do nothing but have the URL in the address bar after 30s or so. A reload works perfectly fine, but it also shouldn't just not load things? Tried a new profile, safe mode, etc. Still an issue.

There is definitely an aspect of the typical power-nerd super compact "no wasted space" UI that is getting unsustainable, between high-DPI screens and aging eyes. On my desktop I userChrome'd FF back into an almost-exact replica of what my FF has looked like for the last near decade. But on my laptop I did a much smaller set of tweaks. It's a denser screen so a little bit of padding wasn't a bad thing. However, tabs being turned into bubble-buttons floating on the title bar looks dumb AF no matter what screen DPI or resolution you're seeing them in. Powerful Two-Hander posted:Is anyone else having a problem where the mobile app stops suggesting any bookmarks/history when typing in the address bar? It'll work once on restarting the browser, but then just stops completely. Uh, I don't have either of those happening. Though the everything opening in new tab, are you sure that's not just the website? Like 90% of the links on many sites have target="_blank" in the code to force a new tab/window. Because they don't want people to leave their site, for engagement. Do you use FF sync? If so, you might try clearing the app's storage & cache in android settings. That would basically reset the app and then get your bookmarks etc back from sync. If you don't use sync though it's kinda a pain to backup / export the FF profile. I don't use sync myself and so have a fairly limited bookmark & history on my phone's FF.

No this isn't from links (should have explained better), if you take a tab and type in an address (or actually get a bookmark to appear), it will always open a new tab instead of changing the location of the current one.

Is there a setting somewhere that prevents firefox from suggesting usernames from completely unrelated domains in login boxes? I was just trying to login to my ISP's web page and when I clicked on the username box, it suggested usernames from just... random sites I've used, from what I can tell. Edit: and when I input my username, the password box actually suggests the password it has saved for the site. What the hell? Wheany fucked around with this message at 09:52 on Mar 27, 2022 |

Is your issue that your passwords are essentially unprotected? Firefox has a master password you can use to protect passwords from anyone just typing in your username. But the solution here is to use a third party password manager. I can't recommend Bitwarden enough. It's free, multiplatform, apps for them and has every feature most people will ever need.

Wheany posted:No, my issue is firefox, the browser, suggesting random usernames I use on entirely different sites when I focus on the username field of my ISP's web page. Because firefox's password manager is garbage, desperately in need of real modernization rather than just UI retreads, and is legit one of the worst parts of the browser. Identities can only be tied to a single domain name, and that domain can't be altered. This means that if a company does change their website name, there is no way to update an identity to match. So like Truga said it suggests saved identities that match the same field data -- otherwise an inexperienced user might get locked out of their account because their dumb utility company decided to change from "www.utilitycompany.com" to "ww2.utilitycompany.com". (Not a made-up example. When I was setting up my mom with a password manager firefox had literally 4 different identities saved for the utility company, because the fuckers couldn't pick a url and stick with it. Though she wasn't locked out, since at the time she wrote passwords in a notebook.) A real password manager is one of the best investments you can make in your personal security.

in the continuing saga of "firefox continues to handle my profile migration in strange and interesting ways", i no longer have strange issues with favicons, including search provider favicons, not showing up. upgrade just magically fixed that HOWEVER now the duckduckgo search provider is inexplicably setting my region to Poland. i am not in Poland, the browser is set to en_US, and searches initiated from the duckduckgo homepage do not have this problem. if i use the search provider though, it sends requests like "POST https://duckduckgo.com/?kad=en_US&kav=1&kaj=m&kam=osm&kak=-1&kax=-1&kaq=-1&kap=-1&kao=-1&kah=pl-pl&kl=pl-pl", where the last two parameters force the region why the gently caress would this happen and how would you change it? the default providers have no settings and no way to inspect them that i can find. search.json in the profile doesn't appear to have anything that looks related
