I had a few live bookmarks a long time ago, but they were really annoying so I just tried various rss reader sites until I gave up and rolled tiny tiny rss on a shared webhost. Quite happy with it.

Maybe if Live Bookmarks wasn't so barebones I would have kept using it instead of turning to a feed reader extension. All I wanted was some kind of notification when a site updated.

RSS inside FF was always crap but the ability to tell at a glance if a site offered any feeds in order to subscribe with an external reader was definitely welcome. Awesome RSS works for that, at least.

Read posted:I'm not sure how this would have been modified, but you don't get any UI when you set a new bookmark? Maybe check "browser.bookmarks.editDialog.showForNewBookmarks" in about :config? Thanks for the tip, seems like this got set to false at some point (god knows how, I certainly haven't messed around in about :config in months)

hmm, alright. i've never coded in js and found a script that seemed similar to what i was looking for and modded it. seems like i'm sort of on the right track. so yes, i do have the id for that checkbox: toggleChkBox. so would the script then be: code:

Is there a way to do the "Refresh Firefox" thing with mobile Firefox on Android? Every so often it does this thing where it stops loading pages completely and only a reinstall fixes it, but like, I'm lazy and hitting a button would be quicker.

You could probably clear data in system settings. You'd have to re log into to Firefox sync afterwards.

What YouTube extension(s) are you guys using these days? I've been using YouTube High Definition for a long time now, which I love because it's simple and does exactly what I need (auto-HD, auto-expand video area, etc.), but it hasn't been updated in about a year and occasionally acts funky due to YT layout changes. I'm worried it's been abandoned or something happened to the dev, so I'd like to find a replacement.

YouTube Video and Audio Downloader is probably the best extension of its type if you download a lot of videos and/or convert them into different formats.

I rarely download YouTube videos (and when I do, I use the command line tool youtube-dl). I'm mostly looking for an extension to automatically pick the highest quality, automatically expand the video to take up more space, and automatically expand the video description box, which is what the extension I've been using does so well.

Enhancer for YouTube is what I use it also seems to be the most popular from user number perspective, so it's probably the best one. There's also Iridium which is a super dumb name because no one is going to think of Youtube stuff with a name like that, but I've also seen it recommend before.

Youtube Subscription Manager. If you follow a bunch of channels, you know how loving stupid it is that YT won't let you sort them into groups. That's what this extension does. Also, you can give each group its own name and icon to make things even easier.

I use https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/10523-youtube-always-theater-mode and https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/11057-block-youtube-users for youtube. Videos go to HD automagically after a few seconds, for me . Augment the latter by adding i.e. www.youtube.com##a.ytp-suggestion-set.ytp-videowall-still:if(.ytp-videowall-still-info-author:has-text(Linus Tech Tips)) to your uBlock Origin filters to also get rid of channels from the end of video suggestions.

[Circus music plays] Mozilla adds "Close tab options" submenu to Firefox's tab context menu and puts "Close tabs to the right" and "Close other tabs" under the new submenu. The reasoning being that the context menu is getting big because of new actions. The two items chosen was a hunch, basically. (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1480472) Mozilla reverts change due to complaints after a few days. (https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1502083)

I remember when "Customise Right Click Menu" was a thing in the original Tab Mix Plus. Good lord, but I miss that extension.

I don't know how people live without YouTube Link Title, especially with all the videos that get linked here on the forums. The script has been unmaintained for a while but it's simple enough that it's kept working perfectly.

I don't actually know if SALR Redux does it though; if not I'll port it over.

Microsoft is reportedly dropping EdgeHTML for Chromium/Blink in their Edge browser. That would leave Firefox's Gecko as the only non-KHTML-derived browser engine left with any kind of significant marketshare.

Abandoning Gecko for Blink means Mozilla would have to abandon Rust as well, and I can't see them leaving behind their seemingly long-term goal of writing the entire thing in Rust.

Maybe they shouldn't have rushed to be a lesser-Chrome and instead worked on the stuff that people wanted and were using. These threads have been everywhere for a long while now. Read past the opening non-answer. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1184384 The smug anti-marketing of the mozilla reps doesnt help anything. Maybe they should fire some of the cheap teenage "design" people and hire some high level marketing people to do some actual research. Modern comedy. quote:We compete with Google not because it’s a good business opportunity. We compete with Google because the health of the internet and online life depend on competition and choice. History is also funny. 2011 quote:Just before the holiday weekend Mozilla announced that it had renewed its long-standing search revenue agreement with Google, which will reportedly net Mozilla $300 million a year (as part of a three-year contract). The renewed contract comprises the bulk of Mozilla's funding and is unquestionably a good deal for Mozilla. What's less immediately clear is why Google – which now has its own Chrome browser – would want to continue the deal. quote:
Some of this stuff is just genius. quote:I find this highly hypocritical to state that Mozilla had this massive discourse and plastered many discussions inside Google Groups. That’s the LAST place I would ever look into for anything Mozilla related. The fact that you stated that there were discussions, and shared links to a Google Group, infuriates me so much. The hypocrisy in this is mind boggling.
