Firefox Quantum |OT| - Ground up redesign with new speed engine, UI, & extensions
- Thread starter Vanillalite
- Start date
I'm still liking Firefox on desktop and have now got it running almost exactly like Chrome was extension wise.
The only extension I miss is IETab. For work we have one application that insists on using IE and only IE to run. In 2018.
Hopefully Firefox's extensions will evolve enough to allow the developers to port it eventually, as I haven't found anything similar as yet.

Classic Theme Restorer as an addon is dead but the author ported virtually all of its functionalities to Firefox profile mods:

Classic Theme Restorer should be turned into an external application imo. Would be easier than raw CSS.
I can't be fucked dealing with CSS. Unless I can straight copy/paste the code from my current preferences...
I think I have to switch back to Chrome again :(
It is a bummer that NoScript is only available, but something in my Firefox eats huuuuge amounts of RAM. It is not rarity to have it at 2.5GB of RAM usage... of my 8 available. Also, the CPU load is at over 60% regularly. I don't understand why. On my Solus OS it runs just fine.

I've noticed that this site in particular got really RAM hungry when ads were added. Was actually planning on getting clear tonight anyway so I might see if that makes a difference.
Firefox Focus uses Android's native webview, so it naturally feels as snappy and responsive as Chrome would on those phones. Firefox for Android will be getting some basic improvements out of the Quantum initiative, but it will be 6-9 months behind the desktop browser at best.
The standard Firefox release is what you want but it's definitely more sluggish than Chrome, Edge and FF Focus. Focus is a privacy based browser so it wont save anything for you unfortunately. I'm swapping between Edge and Chrome until the mobile app catches up to the desktop app, for now it's tough to recommend outwith the sync options.
Is there an app to keep the firefox window always on top? I found one called... well, "always on top" but it stopped working months ago apparently.
edit: nvm I had an older version. This one works: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/always-on-top/versions/?page=1#version-6.1

Yes, this is because of Cookie Clicker.

Does the chat in letgo work for anyone using firefox?
I've disabled everything and still nothing. You may have to login.

Wait, 56 Nightly? That is a really odd combination to be using right now which you should probably stop. Current Nightly builds are on 61.
Anyway, if you're talking about the play button on the tabs, there's probably an about:config setting for that, I just don't know it off the top of my head.
If you're talking about tabs pausing when you navigate away from them, that is probably the website doing that, and you'll need an extension to stop it. I use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/video-background-play-fix/ for that on mobile, but I'm not sure if any of the domains that works on do this on desktop.
So I had a problem with embedded tweets on this forum not loading up, and it had something to do with Tracking Protection at the time, because I had already allowed all elements of Twitter on both Ghostery and NoScript and uBlock Origin did not interfere with anything. I had Tracking Protection on "Always" but then set it to "Only in Private Windows" and it fixed the embedded tweets problem and they were able to load up again.
Now in the past week embedded tweets are not showing up again, and I don't know what to fucking do with this. It's getting kinda frustrating...

I haven't noticed any changes recently regarding this. Are you browsing the site in a private window? If so try setting tracking protection to never.
Tabs pausing when you navigate away from them. Happens with streaming networks and social media sites like Twitter but not video sites like youtube. The above addon is only for Android sadly.
Yeah, you'll need addons targeted at the individual sites. It isn't the browser pausing the videos, it's the sites.
As the other poster mentioned are you using Firefox's tracking protection? That has been known to cause issues with embedded tweets loading on this site. Other than that are you using any add-ons that can block content?
Firefox 59.0.3 is now out.

I have set Tracking Protection to "Never" and updated to 59.0.3.
I have both Twitter elements allowed on Ghostery and allowed everything possible on NoScript and also I'm certain that uBlock Origin is not interfering with anything.
I am not using private tabs or windows.
They are still not loading up period. I have run out of ideas and possibilities.
I use uBlock Origin and that hasn't caused any issues for me. I assume that the problem likely is due to Ghostery or NoScript. Have you tried running Firefox with add-ons disabled? That should at least determine if it's an add-on at fault or not.
If you use NoScript you have to allow some other site, too.
That's why I just opted to completely removing the Twitter embeds and using a link.

If you know how to edit scripts, you can probably change the script from replacing the iframe source instead of creating a link.

Piggy backing on that the 60 release notes are a go.

Ugh, Firefox 60 stopped allowing the classic New Tab page from being used. Now I get a page full of junk and not the muscle memory of sites I used to go to. Even if I hide it all and just show my favorite sites, it's still small and less contextually useful. I could get used to it, but I'd rather not. It's just all around worse.
Does anyone else get poor performance after updating to 60?
My pages constantly freeze and get stuck for few seconds, it's really annoying

Firefox 60.0.1 is now out.
Release notes: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/60.0.1/releasenotes/
60.0.1 includes a bug fix for pauses that occurred when using some add-ons in 60. That may fix the issues you were having.

I'm having issues where tabs will just go unresponsive. I'll click a link and the page won't load, can't refresh, can't go to a different address. Other tabs will work fine but that specific tab will just be completely dead.
Is there a way to stop videos (wrestling streaming networks, twitter etc) from pausing or muting when scrolling away or changing tabs?
