Fapos posted:Yeah same here, nothing fancy, just Adblock and NoScript. They'll sometimes abruptly stop and refuse to load the rest of the video too. Same setup here. Ever since last month (when both firefox and flash were updated), I've had a persistent problem where videos become stuck if I try to replay any of it. I've had other playback issues before, but they're uncommon and a simple refresh fixes 'em.

I don't even want to contemplate the ramifications if something important like AdBlock or NoScript were to pull such a maneuver.

I have a minor but frequent issue with .gif playback in firefox. It doesn't really bother me much but I figure I'd get around to figuring out what's going on. Whenever I play a .gif in its own tab or window, the .gif will play normally for a bit and then stop. It will start up again if I move my mouse cursor over the bookmark toolbar or close/reopen the gif. I'm using firefox 32.0.3 on a windows 7 machine and my addons are adblock plus, noscript, pdf viewer (pdf.js), and classic theme restorer.

33.0.3 seems to have messed up switching tabs a little. Whenever I switch a tab over to Youtube, sometimes it won't display anything on the page except the video overlaid on the previous tab. Switching between tabs again will fix it. I just grabbed the latest flash update too and it still happens. Just another small annoyance building up into a small pile of annoyances.

EasyList also comes with its own whitelist, which doesn't have a convenient means of removing all of them at once. NoScript picks up the slack, but I've had to manually remove one or two from the whitelist over the past year.

I was wondering what youtube was up to. Figured it had to be HTML5, since I had googlevideo blocked. It would just load the flash version right after anyway. Doesn't seem to be doing it today. Sadly, the one time I let HTML5 load, it looked worse in quality than the flash.

I've never said yes or no to html5, but according to this page I don't have that option anymore. 37 is causing youtube to load html5 but fails and refreshes back into flash on each video I watch, so I'd like to get this sorted out. Is there a good reason to switch yet? I don't generally have problems with firefox handling youtube videos with flash.

I wanted to ask more about this workaround. I noticed an entry, media.mediasource.youtubeonly. Should I mess with that? I generally want this to only affect youtube, not webms or the like. I've recently had youtube encourage me to not use flash anymore by waiting 20 seconds for the html5 version to fail and switch. I may just make the switch now that the codecs look almost indistinguishable from flash, but I'm having some problems with it, like opening videos in less than 480p randomly. I'd rather stick with flash a while longer.

Alereon posted:3. Browser vendors should be working hard to kill Flash, which makes sense, and they have been for years. Mozilla already killed Adobe Reader by writing a Javascript PDF renderer, and they are working on Shumway, like Avenging Dentist mentioned, though I doubt this will ever come to fruition because it's such a hard challenge. The reality is that while we've successfully killed Flash for new content, it will take quite some time before enough existing Flash content has migrated or aged off that users aren't bumping into it throughout their day. Newgrounds and ytmnd are so hosed.

Two things: Firefox seems to have trouble loading gifs sometimes on these forums since 43.0.4. Weather it's one gif or a few, the page will freeze as I'm scrolling, sometimes for just a second or for half a minute, before returning to normal. Second, now that SA embeds webms, I'd like more control over webm operation. There doesn't seem to be much in the way of add-ons for that. At the least I want webms to start at half volume instead of full.

Anyone else feel like firefox got a bit laggy with 50.0.2? I've been seeing some brief stuttering here and there, like right after a gif has loaded or when scrolling the forums in general. Sometimes when viewing a youtube video, I'll switch tabs and the video will hang in the new tab for a second. Those sorts of things.

Firefox continues to have weird issues with gifs. I was just checking out a thread, left the computer for a minute, came back to find all the gifs in the thread had stopped... unless I scrolled the page. Every frame in a gif would move to the next each tick of the scroll wheel.

So I have to use flash for a while longer because reasons. With the new firefox, loading flash content on a website works fine, but loading flash files from the hard drive doesn't work, I just get a blank white screen. IE/Chrome can load flash files from the hard drive just fine. ublock origin and umatrix don't appear to be blocking anything. What's going on?

KiteAuraan posted:Has anyone else had problems with NoScript 10 seemingly at random causing Firefox to hang, with the only fix being disabling the add-on and refreshing or restarting the browser? Looking at reviews and comments on Maone's blog it seems like this a problem a lot of people are having, and it's pretty much unrelated to hardware or other software. Personally, when it happens to me it doesn't correspond with any abnormally high resource usage, so I've more or less ruled that out. Any ideas what's hosed, or is it just wait for a patch from Maone/Mozilla? I had the same problem and just went back to umatrix. However, I've had firefox hang performing a TLS handshake. So far it's only happened maybe 3 times total and a page refresh fixes it. I can't seem to figure out what causes it.

I just had something really bizarre happen with 57. I went to highlight a section of text from a post on this forum, but instead of highlighting the text, it dragged an element/image from a completely different web page. I recognized the element from a web page I had seen about an hour or two earlier. When I let go of left click, the thread I was looking at reloaded to the page the element was from. I've tried doing a bunch of highlighting since but I can't seem to repeat it. This poo poo is getting kinda freaky.

Firefox can't seem to play videos embedded in a tweet, it just goes straight to "the media could not be played". I have to go to the tweet itself to see the video. I thought it was a umatrix issue, but I can't find anything relevant to further whitelist.

I've got a small problem. Embedded images from Imgur, when you right click -> View Image the first time, will take you to the page the image is hosted on. But if you do it a second time, it will take you to the source. I would rather it take me to the source the first time. In fact it used to do that before the big change a while back. How do I go about fixing this?

If you added the classic AAK it doesn't work well anymore because it hasn't been updated for 2+ years. Looking around, a currently maintained anti-adblock list is at https://gitcdn.xyz/repo/NanoAdblocker/NanoFilters/master/NanoMirror/NanoDefender.txt which you can subscribe to in ublock. Thanks for this, not just for the list, but as a reminder that I had turned off ublock origin updates in november of last year (because an update caused it to delete itself).

I'm a little concerned that my attempt last night to reinstall ublock ended up deleting ublock when it failed to install. Now that the studies fix is in, I had to grab ublock all over again, which isn't the worst thing since I only had a couple custom blocks. I would have been monumentally pissed if I had lost umatrix that way though.

There's already been a couple password managers that failed to do their job and that taints the rest of them.
