Now there's a security hole with this whole looking glass thing and experiment extensions.

Quote: |
The process for the deployment was not followed. Very few people knew that it was being deployed. There's no sign of anyone having reviewed the code before it was deployed. Even if the thing that was installed this time was moderately harmless, what prevents them from installing a more hazardous program?
All shield studies are supposed to have a tracking bug, but the one for Looking glass was marked private (since the beginning) and actual Firefox devs do not have access to it, which is suspicious too.

Welcome to the Firefox Profilemaker!
This tool will help you to create a Firefox profile with the defaults you like.
You select which features you want to enable and disable and in the end you get a download link for a zip-file with your profile template. You can for example disable some functions, which send data to Mozilla and Google, or disable several annoying Firefox functions like Mozilla Hello or the Pocket integration.
Each Setting has a short explanation and for the non obvious settings links to resources describing the feature and the possible problems with it. |

I think i might be having a tiny issue. After dunno, scrolling a lot of FB posts and decide to do a long reply on one of 'em, the typing becomes slower...SSD even btw..
Ever since i have the FF60ver...Back then nope. Maybe it's random. I tought it'd be W7 slowing down randomly as it does sometimes, forcing me to press Windows+Tab to recover the speeds etc..

anyone knows a good addon for setting text and page zoom level per page and also remembers it..
i looked around and they didnt work, or where not good at all, resource hoggers, etc..
Firefox had that option before Quantum but now its gone..

Just ask our resident addon makers for some free work (or offer to pay for it au naturel case they don't respond).

well, lets say i visit NFOHump and set the Text and Page zoom to 145%, so i can read everything just fine from my sofa..
Then i visit Guru3d, but there i need 120% to get a good reading going..
Now, there was an addon that did exact that, save the text and page zoom so it remembers it for the next visit..
But that addon does not work anymore with zee Quantum and Fioefox itself doesnt have this option anymore. only one zoom level for all..
the addon i was using is named "NoSquint" or so...

hmmm, aint working for me...
maybe cause i use ESR?
i shall try a new FF profile and see if it works there..
still this addon was awesome..you could do everything with ur mouse, set zoom levels, etc..without having to use the keyboard..
edit:
nope, does not save the per page zoom level, as soon as i close the tab it was default again. (i made a new profile with Quantum Default settings)
found this..
gonna check that out:
lets see if i get that to save each site/domain..
Quote: | 18. Same Zoom Level for Every Site
Firefox remembers your zoom preference for each site and sets it to your preferences whenever you load the page. If you want the zoom level to be consistent from site to site, you can toggle the value of browser.zoom.siteSpecific from “True” to “False.”
Default value: True
Modified value: False (enable same zoom preferences for every site)
19. Setting Your Zoom Limit
If you find that the max/min zoom level is still not sufficient for your viewing, you can change the zoom limit to suit your viewing habits.
Config name: zoom.maxPercent
Default value: 300 (percent)
Modified value: any value higher than 300
Config name: zoom.minPercent
Default value: 30 (percent)
Modified value: any value |
hmmmmmm, in about:config its set to: browser.zoom.siteSpecific = TRUE
but its not working

I don't know what's broken for you, Firefox does remember (and always has) zoom levels per site. I've just tried the config setting and that doesn't seem to do anything though (the false setting). Although I've not tried a restart of Firefox.
PC: Yes. Console: No.

I was wondering what was going on when Youtube decided to show me an ad. Been years since I last looked at the internet without adblockers. Absolutely horrible and completely unusable.

What version of firefox are you running?
Apparently beta and nightly need to change `Components.utils.import` to `ChromeUtils.import`.
But anyways, don't use this now, use the semi-official fix of clicking on this link and letting it install: Code: | https://storage.googleapis.com/moz-fx-normandy-prod-addons/extensions/hotfix-update-xpi-intermediate%40mozilla.com-1.0.2-signed.xpi |
This is the fix Mozilla has published to be installed via shield studies, but skipping the shield studies part. You can be sure it's not malicious because it is signed by Mozilla... and if your browser installed unsigned extensions you wouldn't be looking for this solution in the first place. |

You have scripts for that as well you know... and I really don't see why you rather have the American model of corporations fucking your data in every hole. They like to throw limits on us... time we show them some limits as well.
As to firefox, I saw only 4 hours of an internet without my addons... and holy fucking hell its even worse than I imagined. Ad space bigger than articles is common.

This would explain why every single add-on was not only disabled, but completely removed from listing. I had to search for and re-install each one again. This has never happened in IE or Chrome.. Explains why Firefox will always be 3rd fiddle with BS bugs like this. |
What are you talking about?
All the add-ons were there, just disabled. Everything worked fine again after the update. |
I am talking about what I already said.. They were not there. Clicking on "Add-Ons">Manage Add-ons"> nothing, blank, zilch... no names, zero , gone , kaput, erased , deleted, disappeared,..

You must be the one unique snowflake that had it happen to him though. I'll just go with: user error, it's you after all.
