Fyi: The horrible youtube performance a few weeks ago was probably caused by the youtube js trying to reload the animated thumbs up icon hundreds of thousands of times if it was blocked by an extension

If I'm typing up there it's because I know where I want to go, and I don't want to end up on a search page with random garbage in my search history because I made a typo. Check my post history in this thread, a while back I posted some settings that force exactly that behavior.

Interesting. Never thought of it that way. I'm interested to give split bars a try. Luckily, the transition is easier because Firefox has, like CTRL+L for the URL bar, CTRL+K for search.

I imagine this isn't Firefox-specific but I have a dark theme on gmail.com and chat.google.com, but the chat windows in the embedded "app" on gmail.com still have a white background. Is there any way to change this short of using Dark Reader (which I'd prefer not to for google domains at least, otherwise it's great)?

as a dev sometimes it's necessary to split bar bc u type "localhost" or "butts.poop" in the url and it searches for it instead of grabbing the port 80/443

Anyone know how to make it so that Firefox's search shortcuts only activate after I press tab? eg: If I type "you suck", I want to search Google for the phrase "you suck", but if I type "you <tab> suck", I want to search Youtube for "suck". But right now, the word "you" will always do a Youtube search, while pressing tab seems to search through my open tabs.

I use split address bar and search box, and my search box searches the engine chosen, while in the address bar I can type a keyword (like yt for YouTube, wp for Wikipedia, and others I've set up), press space, and then type my search query for that site.

On Vivaldi "y suck" does a Yahoo search. I doubt you would have a need to Google search single letters.

Yeah, I do 1 & 2 letter abbreviations. g google gi google images bi bing images yt youtube etc etc Alternately, if you really like the search shortcuts you have now, a thing you could do is use some punctuation on the normal search. IE do .you suck (google and other engines ignore the dot) or "you suck" (searches for the whole phrase, quotes are great for accurate results).

DuckDuckGo and a few of the other smaller search engines have some similar tokens - a !g anywhere takes your search to google and !gi to google image search, for instance. Maybe use those instead of inventing your own, in case you ever find yourself using a search engine that has them?

Yeah, having a dedicated search box is worth it just for being able to choose which search engine I use. Sometimes I want to use the local iteration of google rather than the default American one.

You can set browser.link.open_newwindow to 1 to force all links to open in the same tab (unless you explicitly force it to a new tab)?

I guess this is just another lesson learned into waiting on the inevitable dot release of Firefox. Always dot release guys. But I digress... I wanted to take advantage of my short little day off today and so I updated, anyways, I dunno if this is a bug or not, but wanted to ask here if others that are also on 109 (should be live tomorrow for can be grabbed now from their servers) are seeing this behavior too.  Every time I close Firefox one of these little "cache2.XXXXXX..." files gets created in the ProgramData Mozilla folder, but they don't seem to you know, be purging, so there's going to be like 100 of them in no time. I'm guessing this shouldn't be happening? I'd post and ask this on reddit but you know, shadowbanned.

Yeah, to the second part, it was caused by one my addons, the one called "LocalCDN", and it seemed to be this HTML filtering check that did it. So if you happen to use this addon, come tomorrow's update (or whenever you choose to update, slacker!), you're probably in for a bad time. But heads up anyway.

What's happening is that LocalCDN is trying to use upgraded versions of the libraries (you can see that in your screenshot), but SA specifies the expected hashes:  (this might be a recent change to SA's code?) So when the extension gives the browser a different file, the browser detects it's wrong and says "gently caress off":  I just disabled LocalCDN to on SA to fix this. "Filter HTML Source Code" makes LocalCDN strip hashes. WattsvilleBlues posted:GPU sandboxing has been enabled on Windows for 110 beta. What does that mean?

WebGPU, which is essentially just an API on top of DirectX, Vulkan, or Metal (for Windows, Unix-likes, and macOS respectively), is a new way for various DOM objects to access 3D rendering and GPGPU processing in an as-close-to-native way as is possible. At some point it's supposed to become a web standard, but hopefully they get it properly sandboxed before then - because as you might imagine, it's doing to be a target that'll be rife for abuse. EDIT: Case in point, there was a set of bugs that could be used for sandbox-escape + remote code execution in Firefox back in March of 2022 - and the latter involved WebGPU.

Can I use my add-ons on Firefox nightly beta mobile yet? (They seemingly broke all addon's like a year ago?) They wanted you to add it to an add-on collection and acted like that would make it work, but it never did. (I realize some addon's will be broken and never work, but major popular ones will) I use Firefox beta so I can use Adguard properly, but maybe I can get around that by dialing into my firewalla box on my home network from mobile. Edit: I googled it again and "I tried it on Nightly and it works as intended Suprisingly it turns out that you also CAN install addons from the AMO site if you choose the "Download file" option instead of the greyed out "+ Add to Firefox" button, even if the addon is not on the "recommended" list I have no idea why it isn't mentioned anywhere that you can do that, or why is the "Download file" button so small, but it solves the problem" Quaint Quail Quilt fucked around with this message at 19:32 on Jan 19, 2023 |

The thing with the collection works for me on Mull, but just downloading add-ons sounds a lot simpler yeah. I don't quite get how they keep hanging on so long to offering just 20 odd verified popular add-ons. That list could have grown to 500 or whatever easily over the last few years with a mimimum of effort and covered a lot more people's needs.

Is the extension manager icon in the toolbar I can't remove there for everyone, or is stuck there because of something to do with my CSS tweaks? I don't see why I'd need a permanent button for that, that's not a setting I go to a lot.
