tbh, don't mind Pocket, but i'm a rare kobo owner.

I don't mind Pocket either, as long as there keeps being an about:config setting where I can completely turn it off and forget it even exists.

That sounds vaguely OK, yeah. Shrinking the organisation a bit, dropping some of the distractions, and merging the rest into an "added stuff" team could be a good idea. I will wait and see what they do with "AI" before having any strong opinions on it.

I've been enjoying the translation tool that was recently added, if the ai's anything like that it could be okay

wooger posted:Keeping going with useful non-browser development bullshit at all is the problem. Yes and no - their most obvious competitors do more than render HTML in tabs. The translation tool is a great example: Chrome integrating Google translate is a useful feature that some people would miss if they swapped browsers. Firefox adding something similar that is also on-device is both a useful answer to that and a unique selling point that fits with their brand. In this specific case it was also developed with EU funding and in collaboration with some universities, though of course that's an exception. Is Keep a browser feature in the same way as translation? I don't know; maybe?

I didn't realize Firefox's translation was all done clientside, that's very cool.

I want a way to change one of Firefox's behaviors: When my tab bar is "overfilled", which it nearly always is, by that I just mean that it contains more than a few tabs, so that I have to scroll horizontally on it to view some that are pushed off-screen. I want it to favor the right side of the bar instead of the left. It favors the left by shoving the rightmost tab off-screen when I have a not-rightmost tab selected and open a link/new tab. It shoves tabs off-screen on the right instead of on the left. How do I change that?

This poo poo is why I used multirow tabs and bookmarks. It bugs me an unreasonably huge amount to have my tabs not visible and readable.

MY GIRLFRIEND signed into her university account on my firefox, and now whenever I try to sign into google, it automatically redirects to the university's mail sign in. I've tried removing any cookies or site data related to the uni, but it hasn't worked. Whenever I need to sign into my personal google account, I've just used a different privacy tab, but looking for a more permanent solution. Also, unrelatedly, anyone notice that videodownloadhelper has gotten shittier? Now it downloads clips with a random string of numbers as the name instead of the video title, and it seems to support even fewer websites.

Back before XUL got deprecated, I had an addon that saved a copy of bookmarks as a single file on the disk - which was rather nice, as even then link-rot was a phenomenon. I'd completely forgotten about this, until a few minutes ago when I randomly remembered, and found this - which, if configured properly, does the same. Better yet, this can save to a WebDAV server, which I don't think the old extension could do.

'lil help if I could ask: Firefox is reporting my time zone as UTC as of a few weeks ago. Looking into it, disabling extensions and privacy settings doesn't fix it, and privacy.resistFingerprinting.testing.setTZtoUTC is set to false (nor does toggling it help). Any ideas what else it could be? ^^^ also that's a neat extension, thanks!

Serephina posted:'lil help if I could ask: From what I'm reading, that pref doesn't actually stop the timezone from being set to UTC. Apparently Firefox used to set the TZ environment variable and they are using a different way to do it now. Maybe try this? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1426184

Yea, I've narrowed it down to the in-browser tracking protection, but can't find which setting exactly will exclude time zones. Tried that link to no avail, cheers tho.

privacy.resistFingerprinting = false privacy.fingerprintingProtection = true privacy.fingerprintingProtection.overrides = +AllTargets,-JSDateTimeUTC I checked the source code and I believe that it should work. Are you restarting your browser after setting it? Nalin fucked around with this message at 06:53 on Feb 29, 2024 |
# ? Feb 29, 2024 06:48 |

Well no, never thought I'd need to do that, was just refreshing a page and seeing what it said my browser was sending it. Again, disabled all extensions and restarted FF-esr, still reporting UTC instead of local time, the only thing that changes that is toggling the tracking protection. I might have some old config settings kicking around like old cruft that's disrupting things, but I'd rather not start making clean profiles every time an issue crops up. Kinda like this suggested change here, they're all in there for a reason.

Ctrl+Shift+T used to only reopen closed tabs from the current window. But nowadays it also reopens closed windows and/or tabs in other windows, prioritizing those if they were closed more recently than the tabs in the current window. Is there any way to get the old behavior back?

Geemer posted:Ctrl+Shift+T used to only reopen closed tabs from the current window. Apparently no, they changed firefox's tab restore to work exactly like chrome because too many chrome people were complaining. (Mostly they were complaining that firefox couldn't restore closed tabs from a previous session. That also was added. There are about :config prefs to not store closed tabs & windows across sessions, but not one to do classic undo close tab like you want.)

Geemer posted:Well, poo poo. Thanks anyway! Not the solution you want, but I use the Undo Closed Tab button extension. Left click opens up the last closed tab, right click opens a menu for sequentially older closed ones. There's some customisation in it but not much.

It's better than the garbage behavior it is now, so I'll give it a shot. Thanks.

Just a note to anyone running Firefox on OpenSUSE - OpenSUSE rolled out an update that broke proper add-on signing, so no extensions are currently working in Firefox on OpenSUSE. There's an open bug report on it, and hopefully they'll fix it ASAP. https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1221531

EDIT: This has been fixed. Update your system to get the fixed packages. If you were affected, remember to delete the app.update.lastUpdateTime.xpi-signature-verification setting in about :config and restart Firefox to have your plugins re-verify.CaptainSarcastic posted:Just a note to anyone running Firefox on OpenSUSE - OpenSUSE rolled out an update that broke proper add-on signing, so no extensions are currently working in Firefox on OpenSUSE.

Just a quick PSA, if you use the NordVPN extension on Firefox, you may want to delete it for now. An update was pushed out that causes every single background tab to load and can lock up your browser on startup with 100% CPU and runaway memory usage.

Firefox has started to offer to go to the URL that's in my clipboard every time I got to the address bar. Anyone know if its possible to turn it off? I've looked at about:config and the settings but can't see anything. I don't really need an extra button to click when I can just press enter.

That sounds awful in general for people with severe tab collection disease, like me, who just keep a running stack of articles to read through in a few separate windows, any way to prevent that behaviour?

SIGSEGV posted:That sounds awful in general for people with severe tab collection disease, like me, who just keep a running stack of articles to read through in a few separate windows, any way to prevent that behaviour? No. It is a bug with the extension. It was introduced in version 3.10.1. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/nordvpn-proxy-extension/versions/ Watch that page to see if they update it. The extension keeps getting more and more 1 star reviews and they keep saying it will be fixed but it's been a week now....

I think you can just disable it in the settings proper under the Search node. The Address Bar section has a Clipboard checkbox.

There are so many different places to look that might just possibly do what you want that sometimes it's just easier to ask. Especially when Mozilla decides to go and move something for no goddamn reason. Is it still there somewhere? Is it just gone? Who the gently caress knows

Anyone here that routinely goes to CBC news notice a font change in the past short while? I don't think it's necessarily FF related but it just looks a little "softer" or something, hard to put my finger on.

Not for my part, no. Maybe worth starting Firefox in 'troubleshooting' mode? E.g. is the issue with Firefox itself, or possibly a plugin?
