So I upgraded from 16 to 17 and it completely broke the scrolling action. Before Firefox scrolled maybe 1/5 of the page, after the patch it's like 1/50. I need to scroll the gently caress out of my mousewheel to get anywhere. I did absolutely nothing else, just the upgrade. In about:config I have: mousewheel.withnokey.numlines 16 So it should move the page a lot. Any idea what might cause the problem? I don't want to move back to FF16 unless this is some kind of bug they aren't going to fix until 18.

Im_Special posted:It's not a bug with 17 since I don't have what you have, so it's on your end. No clue how to fix something like that in the about :config, but creating a new profile will surly fix it. I have zero motivation to figure out whatever causes the problem, less to tinker with my profile files. I went back to 16 and will assume it's the fault of the new version for the time being.

18 is ridiculously fast compared to 17. Earlier browser launch took maybe 10-20s at least, now it starts up pretty much right away with two windows and 220+65 (yeah...) tabs. Also tab switching happens nearly instantly, while before there was a noticeable latency with it. Pages seem to load a lot faster too. It feels pretty weird, being used to Firefox's inherent slowness for years, then suddendly everything working like a dream. Combined with a new OS (Windows 8) and other software like Office 2013, programs finally feel like they are actually using the resources of a modern computer in attempt to be as fast and smooth as possible.

What is a "slow-scrolling bug"? When FF17 was released my scrolling speed tanked. Some guys advised to change the following values: mousewheel.default.delta_multiplier_x mousewheel.default.delta_multiplier_y I have them at 200 and scrolling works OK. You can also tweak the speed of scrolling with: general.smoothScroll.mouseWheel.durationMaxMS general.smoothScroll.mouseWheel.durationMinMS Maybe adjusting those options would help if the scrolling feels slow?

~Coxy posted:Thanks for that. My solution was to uninstall all versions of flash, and just use Chrome for youtube or other streaming video needs. Hoping that the browser extensions didn't suddendly break, keeping them up to date etc. and reading about all the security issues was too much of a hassle. Not worth the convenience to be able to use just one browser.

I've been trying to get more vertical space, moved my taskbar to left side and now tried disabling Menu Bar in Firefox 21.0. I'm running 64bit Win8 Pro with 13.4 Catalyst drivers. The Minimize/Maximize/Close buttons are displayed as a solid black box without the menu bar, and if I try to click them nothing happens.  Switching between my theme and default theme didn't help with the issue.

xamphear posted:Video playback has gotten so bad for me in Firefox that I've started using a second browser (Chrome or the new webkit Opera) to watch videos while using FF for my general browsing needs. I'm running a nightly build and have a bunch of extensions so I don't even know who to blame or why and I don't really care. Videos in a second window works better for me in the end, so why not do them in a separate browser rather than just a second window of my primary browser. I'm doing that too. Uninstalled flash ages ago, and been using Chrome since to watch videos. Nowdays my Firefox freezes completely for a minute or two if there's a video on a webpage.

That's something I would like to know too: how to make ff22 look _exactly_ the same as 21? Same font, icon and image sizes everywhere, ui & webpages. Currently using 21 since the new, broken system is completely awful.

I've never found use for search boxes, but that's me coming from Opera where you had keyword searches within address bar. Thankfully Firefox supports keyword searches too so the only thing I had to do was removing the search box when I started using Firefox

Try instantfox too, it's an addon which does the same, and comes with some keywords already configured.

I'd be pissed if I had been using ff since 1.5 and since the fast release cycle everything has been going steadily downhill. Less features and more issues each version. When you compare that to Chrome: has worked always the same. No changes in ui and no attempts to annoy the crap out of users. No wonder people keep using and moving to chrome and ie since at least you get some stability and familiarity with those browsers. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Firefox dicked around with font & page scaling at some point. As a result everything looked smaller for me, and I couldn't make everything the same as earlier.

So I've "always" used Chrome to watch youtube since firefox + flash has always been garbage. Now I installed Firefox 37 and I got the impression youtube should work with HTML5 videos. I go to the youtube.com/html5 and it shows everything except "MSE & WebM VP9" working. When I try to play any video, I just get a black box with a spinning circle of dots. In Chrome the video starts to play immediately. I have a GTX 970 with newest drivers and HW acceleration on in Firefox. I guess the videos are supposed to work finally... except they don't?

Not having Flash or Java, and meticulously filtering everything with uBlock and uMatrix has sped up the browser notcieably. I once tried an extension which unloads idle tabs, but it didn't work too well. Now I tried UnloadTab again and it seems to work fine. Now even FF's memory usage is under control *happy camper*

The Gunslinger posted:If anyone else hates the "search for blah on Google" in the awesome bar, about :config and set browser.urlbar.unifiedcomplete to false. God help me if I ever somehow end up with a vanilla install of Firefox again because it feels like I've had to make about 20+ tweaks just to remove all of the annoying poo poo they've added over the years. I wondered why my search suggestions broke completely with firefox 43. Seems this was the culprit, disabling the unifiedcomplete whatever fixed the issue. It was really stupid to type complete urls just like in the 90's.

Browser stopped displaying images from http sources if site is https. Some sites can't be used without https so I see tons of dead images in pages. Browser had a feature (some kind of shield icon in address bar) to fix the issue but the devs removed it apparently. Is there some addon or setting to fix the problem? Security is not a concern, I just want the sites to work like usual. They work with Chrome and other browsers. Thanks in advance!

I moved to Vivaldi like a month ago and haven't bothered to fire up Firefox after that. Vivaldi doesn't supposedly track you as much as chrome, but supports the same add-ons. Has built-in tree style tabs and all that, and it feels a lot faster, especially the ui. I understand FF is fast without addons, but unlike Vivaldi, FF is also terrible without addons. Edit: Vivaldi's updater works too. It gives a pop-up when update is available and asks the admin password when installing the update. It just works. Firefox updater doesn't work. I only noticed updates were available when the thread title changed, and I had to manually download the builds off ftp.mozilla.org Once I got the update notifications to work, but the updater always failed to download and install the updates.. it was a mystery. I'm glad I got off the sinking ship called Firefox. Ihmemies fucked around with this message at 10:47 on Apr 6, 2017 |
