I notice that somewhere along the line, my preference for "no third party cookies" on Firefox was changed (by me to fix a site login? by an extension? by Mozilla when adding some feature that slipped me back to a default?) to permitting cross-site cookies. I went hunting for this after noticing some of my search terms suddenly show up in an ad that got by uBlock Origin. Just some routine looking-over-the-old-shoulder by my friends at Google. Anyway, something you might wanna check once in a while if you prefer to make big tech work harder to surveil you online.

I hate when I load my bookmarked threads in the background and then I have to scroll back to the first unread post via ctrl-L + enter or mouse for every single tab. This bug-free and perfect tampermonkey script will scroll tabs to the anchor in the URL when the tab becomes visible, or after 2 seconds if the tab loads in the foreground. code:

Set your Twitter timeline to Following instead of For You and maybe pick one of the userscripts that do it automatically from greasyfork?

The SA Last Read extension lets you do this by pressing 'o', but anything that save button presses is a good thing.

Firefox can't seem to download files to my NFS share, but can save them anywhere else. I'm on a debian linux system. Vivaldi can save to em fine, I can write to them fine, permissions are 775, it's just Firefox, on just one computer. Any ideas?

I suspect you have a Snap-packaged Firefox that is running in sandbox and has limited access outside it.

On FreeBSD, I can save files to ZFS using NFSv4 over TCP with NFSv4 ACLs, so I doubt it's got anything to do with Firefox.

On the topic of Twitter, is there an extension/script that makes muting and blocking someone from the Twitter web UI a single-click action, skipping any menu-ing and confirmation dialogs? I'm used to blocking people at the speed of light from Better TweetDeck, but who knows how long that'll remain available 😔

Saukkis posted:I suspect you have a Snap-packaged Firefox that is running in sandbox and has limited access outside it. It looks like "apt install firefox" on debian will get you a plain non-container version, but they do also explain how to install it as a snap and flatpack in the wiki. As far as I know, flatpack should still allow you to save to any folder, since the save dialog is a "portal" hosted by the outside system that can grant a flatpack access to read or write a file in any directory the user chooses (if the user has permission, ofc). Maybe that interacts in a weird way with NFS mounts, but I can't offhand imagine how/why?

Is there any way to have Android Firefox install extensions beyond the pitiful few you're normally allowed? Watching youtube on my tablet is an exercise in frustration. You can only install literally seventeen extensions on the Android version. And most of them aren't even useful.

I have a Firefox account, so I should be able to make my own collection. Thanks. As someone in the comments of the link posted, I have no idea why Mozilla decided to restrict them so severely in the first place. This sort of thing is literally why people choose Firefox over the competitors. edit: yep, all done, no worries. Thanks again.

LibreTube is another one that's pretty decent. Regular NewPipe doesn't have SponsorBlock, that's the NewPipe x SponsorBlock fork. Also Vanced is called ReVanced now, I think. The latter is the only one that will let you do stuff you need to be logged in for, if you care for that. All of it requires sideloading the app or going on alternative app stores like F-Droid, which isn't too big a deal. Otoh, I can see YouTube in browser working to satisfaction on a tablet with the right addons, unlike on a phone.

Is there a way to disable that HTML (?) feature that tracks if the page/tab is in focus and being viewed? I remember finding out it's name a while back when I was puzzled at why certain youtube pages refused to play in the background, but I've since forgotten the name and can't seem to find it again. I've already murdered a lot of functionality on my browser, so losing this won't change much except make my life easier as I've never noticed the feature except when used maliciously against the user.

It just works out of the box for me everywhere I've ever installed it, without any modification of the default settings and lists. If you're not on some lovely fork version just called uBlock or something and the add-on isn't deactivated for the YouTube website and you haven't been loving around unsubscribing from lists, I'd start looking what happens with a fresh Firefox profile or install and all that.
