jokes posted:I tried Nightly out and being forced to drop a bunch of my extensions honestly is for the best. I also used to have a Stylish skin for the browser as a whole (Firefox Edge) but the new UI is just fine on its own and now I don’t have to deal with the Stylish privacy concerns. Have you used the containers feature? Ive been wanting something like that for separating sessions between clients

Installed 57 beta. It's definitely, obviously faster. I'm missing some favorites extensions but will try to get used to it. I miss the ability to lock tabs from being closed, from Tab Mix Plus. Hopefully that comes back someday but it seems like the answer for now is "not now". FoxyGestures seems fine but I can't find, or it doesn't have, rocker gestures in the style of left+right = forward, right+left = back. It's also frustrating when it doesn't work on browser-internal pages, or when a page hasn't loaded yet. This isn't their fault I realize but it's frustrating. If you're migrating from Stylish to Stylus, make sure to use this export process from stylish BEFORE you update to 57. The temporary extension that you use to export from Stylish will not run on 57, so you'll have re-downgrade to do the export, then upgrade again. https://add0n.com/stylus.html After that, Stylus seems fine I guess? I barely use it anymore except for a custom style to make SA a little prettier, and it's doing that fine.

So I posted some time ago about how Pirate Bay was testing out buttcoin mining and well looks like others are trying to get in on that sweet mining action: Apparently it has been removed from the UFC website after people on reddit caught them doing it but this only highlights how this poo poo is cancerous and needs to be eliminated fullstop.

There's a No Coin extension or something similarly named that blocks all these.

WattsvilleBlues posted:Try pinning tabs you want left open. Pinned tabs are a poor fit for that. It doesn't prevent it from being closed, other than in the most minimal sense of not having a close button. Pinned tabs are per-window, so closing a window will lose those tabs. With tab groups it was a pretty cool feature -- pinned tabs showed up on all groups, so you could close a group and keep the pinned tabs. And when I used groups I usually only kept 1 firefox window, so there was no chance to accidentally lose them with a window close. Too bad tab groups are going in the trash with everything else!

All right, most of my add-ons have been updated or replaced with a WebExt compatible version, and I've pruned out some that aren't being updated anymore that also weren't really getting much use. Here's what I'm left with:
Any better suggestions?

Klyith posted:Ditch flash entirely, it's scheduled to be deleted from the internet. If you're seeing flash these days it's probably an ad. If you like newgrounds or some other flash games use Edge or Chrome for those particular sites. Livestream is still clinging to flash, and I like being able to keep the chat blocked. Suppose I'll just use the AdNAuseum element blocker in Chrome to do that, then. quote:"youtube-dl -f bestvideo+140 URL" I'd had some version of youtube-dl installed as part of that Open-With/Youtube-DL/MPV combo that got posted ages back, guess I'll have to figure out how to actually use it.

Yeah, I already updated to the WebExt version of OpenWith and took care of that on Windows. Linux I haven't figured out yet, but I only ever use that for checking my financial and secondary email accounts anyway. As an aside, I can't help but feel forcing extension developers to use local clients to do their thing rather defeats the purpose of these new stricter guidelines, but what do I know.

Yet another company using some customized terrible thing on their site that required flash in the browser. There's all sorts of dumb line of business sites out there where the mechanisms for uploading a file, say, inexplicably require flash and then the uploading just isn't present if you block it. All that's happening is that Adobe is just not going to add more features to Flash anymore, it's still going to be hanging around for ages on a ton of stuff, and they're probably going to end up forced into continuing to provide support for the current feature set/security updates for many years beyond the point they announced a few months back.

Just updated my extensions and, as part of that, got the new version of Stylish. And about a dozen of my scripts just vanished  Thought I might be able to find where the scripts are stored and recover them. Nope, Stylish stores everything in a single file. But it does keep the scripts as plain text within that file, so you can theoretically recover them. But the new version of Stylish overwrote the file and now I only have three scripts left. EDIT - found a SQLite Manager extension which has let me recover 5 of my 'lost' scripts from a separate profile. The rest are just gone.

57 final build it up. This marks the second time this week I've switched browsers. I do think the gap in the upper left corner of a non-max window is annoying, pushing the tabs to the right a bit, but I'm too lazy to see if something can be done about it. I'd probably have to paste CSS code into a file that would need be replaced with every upgrade.

So I have been updating my addons in preparation for the move to ff57. To get mouse gestures to work correctly on linux, I followed the recommendation in the 7 month old bug report and installed easystroke. It hasn't been updated since 2013 and is so obviously a product of the early days of compiz that my system feels totally rad and modern now. To get "open with" updated to webex it needed me to install an external python script. I feel much saver now. I got some questions, too. I use "Context Search" and "Add to Search Bar" a lot. Are there webextensions that allow me to add a new search engine to the context menu? The Context Search author is waiting for an API method before he ports. And a method to add my own search engine to the list of engines. A casual search seems to imply that the recommended way is to write my own webex for every engine separately. Also, I sometimes use a addon called "right to click", which overwrites sites that make it impossible to select text on their site. Is there a webex that can do something like this? It is seriously annoying to google.

My installation updated to 57. No option for tabs on bottom. Add-ons site doesn't hide incompatible extensions by default.  UserChrome mod got my tabs back below but I had to go through and disable everything else the guy bundled into it and enabled by default. This is a stupid amount of effort for something that should have been a toggle in the options and it's probably going to break in a future update.

At least someone remade the Classic Theme Restorer so it doesn't look like complete garbage anymore.
