Anyone know how to remove the slight animation fade-down that happens when you open the bookmark menu now? It's only like half a second long but it is really annoying to me because after using FF for so long it looks like the sort of stutter that happens when your computer is running slowly and it has to read the bookmark files from disk poorly or something.

Alereon posted:I'm not sure about how to disable it, but this animation is so fast I have to pay close attention to realize that its not opening instantly even on my old work computer with a Core 2 Duo and Intel integrated graphics, so you might want to see if there's something causing your graphical rendering performance to be slower than normal. It's something that is tiny but annoying to me, I don't know why. I think it is because I'm just so used to the animation not being there, and that I usually turn off almost all animations anyhow.

Anyone know how to get rid of the right-click context menu entry "Search [your default search engine] for "Selected link"..."?

Im_Special posted:Oh god this, this is driving me crazy and I'm pretty sure it only just recently started to happen. Maybe an addon updated did this? This seems like another odd addition to Firefox. The corporate conspiracy nutter in me thinks it is another stipulation of the huge amount of money Google throws at Firefox to be their default search provider, but heh.

I may have asked this 6 months ago, but I remembered about it again: Does anyone know how to easily disable the context menu item "Search [Your engine] for '....'" when right clicking on any text?

I really love Firefox, especially for its customizations-- and case in point it seems like every new version I find something new that I think "wow, I'll never use that, but good on them for including the option for it I guess?" Most other browsers just force their changes without letting you disable them. Immediately deleting their new video chat button was a good example of this, however my new question is the deleting/disabling of the small green plus sign on the search engine for 'add this search engine?'

Heads up-- Mozilla is removing the ability to change the newtab page in about :config. They're saying this is so that third parties can't hijack the page, but anyone with half a brain knows it is because Mozilla pays the bills by having companies throw money at them to have their ads injected into their lovely newtab page. Thankfully there is already third party addon already that is restoring ('hijacking', according to Mozilla :dog: ) the ability for a newtab to be blank and not display any ads or whatever. It's in the bottom of the above link. I swear my list of addons I have in place just to restore Firefox's UI to a version ~25 state is growing by the month. Not to mention all of the buttons they add on each new version I instinctively remove as soon as they appear. That's why I keep using Firefox though, because I can remove most of the poo poo I don't like.

I downloaded the x64 installer off of the above FTP link, and manually pointed it to be installed to "C:\Program Files\" and "C:\Program Files (x86)" Is there any way to tell otherwise if it is actually x64? I would think it would say in the About Firefox like Chrome does, but newp.

The SA forum style changed in like... Jan 1st 2015? 2014? I can't remember, but I installed Stylish or Greasemonkey to make the forum style look like the pre-change one. Now something changed and it has reverted to the lovely new style. I've been using these forums since 2001 so I don't like the new style OKAY? Anyone remember what was the original thread that had the style change tweaks?

pokecapn posted:Edit the grease monkey script you're using to point to 'forums2.css' instead of 'forums.css'. As far as I can tell that's the only thing that changed this month My savior. I apparently thought this was a "Stylish" addon script, but apparently I only have one Stylish thing which removes the dumb animations from the FF toolbars. I had not configured/used GreaseMonkey in so long that I thought that just going to Addons -> GreaseMonkey -> Options would show me any SA tweaks I may have input before, but it didn't have anything besides GreaseMonkey options so I thought maybe I wasn't using Greasemonkey or something? Then I realized there is a "User Scripts" side bar item, which then had a "SA Fixes". Oops. Thanks for the help. Edit - On the bright side I think this was one of the last sort of unknowns that I had forgotten how to reconfigure if I ever wanted to reset my profile.

Right click on a tab -> Bookmark all tabs Then prune the tabs down on what you need and what you don't need. Or just keep them you weird horder that uses 1500 tabs you weirdo.

I think the recent bookmarks thing is a great addition, even if I don't use it. It's because most people never organize their bookmarks, and it all just gets shoved into Unsorted Bookmarks.

The thing that I like about Firefox's big UI updates is that there is almost always a way to disable or revert things. This time, I deleted all of the dumb extra space on either side of the URL bar, and deleted a bunch of extra new buttons. I have a small quirk that they changed the icon of the bookmarks menu to a Star with a bracket under it-- I keep accidentally clicking on the "show sidebars" button thinking it is bookmarks. Changing the Firefox default theme to "light" helped revert the non-current tabs to a light background instead of black. Now if only I could find a way to disable the short fade in/out menus on the bookmark menu and such.

I've been with Firefox since the beginning and holy gently caress is this the worst the interface has ever been. It's like they're actively trying to tank the browser. The best part is that apparently they will be removing the ability to turn off proton in the about:config in like next update or something.

Customize Toolbar -> Density (down at bottom of window) > Compact Saves some space as well. It says "Not supported" but it still seems to work. I've reverted to v90 for now, but will probably go the route of CSS edits in the future. gently caress Proton.

You can always rename your entire profile folder to like JeevesFirefox.profile or something, as long as you change the text in profile.ini to match or whatever. I backup my profile every few months because I have a lot of tweaks including a crazy old GreaseMonkey code to make the forums look better. Having it not be some randomized name helps you recognize when Firefox fucks with your folder in the future or something.

Nalin posted:Nice! Mozilla finally got around to addressing my many months old Ideas post about increasing theming options by deleting it and telling me it is a duplicate of a much newer post asking for a built-in theming color wheel. Being killed from within via Google assassins are the only explanation that makes sense for this sheer incompetence. I haven't heard a single person say anything good about the UI changes. Then again I don't personally know anyone else who even uses Firefox anymore so that above sample size is just me.

Sort of Firefox-related, since it is Thunderbird: For the past two updates, I've noticed a "Subscription Summary" folder that is being auto-generated on my Thunderbird accounts. I don't know if it is a Gmail or Thunderbird thing, but I can't delete the folder without it coming back after a Thunderbird restart. Anyone else notice it? I haven't found any information on it, since "subscription summary" are apparently way too generic of terms to search for or something?
