Status-4-Evar also creates an add-on bar that you can add icons to. The latest version that works with FF29 isn't linked to the addon's main page, though, so you have to manually install it from the version list.

According to the wiki page on Electrolysis, "By default, only one content process is used. You can control this with the dom.ipc.processCount preference." Maybe that is what you want? It sounds like it isn't the same as Chrome where it puts each tab in its own process, rather it just spins off the content stuff into its own process to avoid browser UI hangs.

Xander77 posted:Cheers, I'm reasonably sure that worked. YouTube Center is a greasemonkey script for making YouTube better, but addon versions do exist. You either had the greasemonkey version or the addon version. You can find them here: https://github.com/YePpHa/YouTubeCenter/wiki https://github.com/YePpHa/YouTubeCenter/wiki/Developer-Version I use the developer version. I don't know if the non-developer version works. Sometimes it breaks and it takes a bit to be fixed.

Lysidas posted:Apparently in Firefox 33 there's new behavior on typing single-word hostnames into the address bar -- the default is now to search for that term and not to navigate to the address I explicitly entered, and to ask "did you mean to go to ..." instead. I know this is late, but according to this, if you click "Yes" on the dropdown, it will whitelist that single-word hostname for future lookups. That article even has an about :config option for controlling what domains are whitelisted.

I'm on Firefox 34 using Flashblock 1.5.18 and I haven't had any issues. I've seen some sites that overlay something over the flash video that prevents you from clicking on it, though. I have the Nuke Anything Enhanced addon so removing those overlays eventually lets me click on it.

Generic Monk posted:Anyone got any recommendations what the best youtube extension is that enforces playing the highest res video possible, allows player size customization etc? Currently using 'Youtube High Definition' which is OK but causes a weird flickering refresh of the video when the page first loads which I'm not a fan of. Also is there any way to duplicate the behaviour chrome has where you can drag images/links from the browser onto the desktop/explorer and they'll just seamlessly save? Finally got firefox working properly (bizarrely the nightly builds are orders of magnitude more stable and way less problematic than the stable version for me, I have no idea why) but I do miss some of chrome's usability features. https://github.com/YePpHa/YouTubeCenter/wiki/Developer-Version Userscript is the Greasemonkey version. A standalone .xpi file for Firefox also exists. If you do use it, I really recommend staying on the developer version. Google is known to break stuff often enough that the "stable" versions can be broken for a while. I'm not sure if that has changed any.

I've been using uBlock in Firefox since the first test was released in the bugtracker and I haven't had any issues at all. In fact, its much better at handling popups than ABP has been for me. It just works and I am fine with that.

I've noticed that the more videos I play and the longer they are results in Firefox's HTML5 video performance degrading further and further. It is only fixed by a browser restart for me. I've actually set YouTube Center to force Flash videos because of the issue.

Has anybody been noticing image download problems in Firefox 36? I am getting a lot of incomplete and mangled image downloads after upgrading. Browsing a thread with lots of images really makes it apparent as only half the image will load. Often times user avatars won't load while paging through threads and whatnot. I couldn't find any information on it, so I thought I would check and see if it was just me.

My Firefox memory usage also increases and starts to stutter when scrolling pages. I have to restart it every once in a while to refresh it. Combined with the black image bug, I'm almost tempted to install the ESR release if I am going to have to wait 2 or 3 versions for this crap to be fixed.

So, there is apparently a bug with Firefox 40 and the latest NVIDIA drivers for Windows 10. Mozilla has blacklisted the driver and disabled Direct2D/DirectWrite in Firefox. If things are a tearing, jittery mess, and things don't look right, check your about:support to see if hardware acceleration was disabled.

Marinmo posted:Turns out you're in luck; unlike Mozilla, Nvidia apparently isn't total poo poo and released a new driver today. Get it here (Win10 64bit, from UK), install, restart firefox, go to about :config and set gfx.font_rendering.directwrite.enabled to true, restart firefox again and things should be back to normal. Be aware that this driver isn't "fixed". If you enable layers acceleration, Firefox 40 will break.

Nah, it will still break Firefox horribly if you force enable the graphics features. I tried it and the UI stopped painting properly. There must be something else that needs to be enabled. But hopefully it will work correctly when they remove the block.

The hardware vsync stuff they did in Firefox 40 has dramatically increased the perception of how smooth the browser is. I am liking it very much. Scrolling is smooth and doesn't tear anymore. I dare say it feels as fast as Chrome does at this point.

I have an Nvidia GTX 780 but not the latest drivers, as everything has been stable with my gaming apps since the last graphic drivers upgrade (running Nvidia driver version 377.48). It's already been fixed. They removed the driver from the blacklist.

Is it a uBlock Origin issue or a Firefox issue? Does whitelisting https://www.motherjones.com (for example) not whitelist the ads for the site because they're not hosted at that domain? Do you possibly have privacy.trackingprotection.enabled set to true in your about :config?

sick trigger posted:i also was experiencing this but it seems to have stopped happening as of a couple of days ago? i'm on 43.0.4, can't think of anything I did that might have fixed it though The longer you leave a tab open, the longer the delay will be once you scroll down to the gif. If you are reading your opened tabs right away, you won't notice it. However, if you are somebody like me who might open 10 tabs, read a couple, then read the rest an hour or two later, you'll have to deal with Firefox locking up on you for periods of time.

mike12345 posted:The "choking on page full of gifs & multimedia" is annoying. But I never know if it's one of my plugins or not, so... Nah, it's just Firefox. It has lots of problems dealing with gifs and multimedia in general. Like, Firefox rendering speeds bottoming out if there is a tab open with an animated favicon. Or the long freezes if you leave a tab open with a large gif running. Multi-process (E10s) hides most of these problems, though, so Mozilla might just be delaying as long as possible so they don't have to bother with a bunch of these problems.
