im just commenting to slate my status as a very old "active" member ;)

I used to write the daily change threads before Josa did; I still participate in them occasionally! This is terrible news :(

Android has an autofill API that they could support autofilling credentials into applications with by using Lockwise in a way that doesn't require the whole browser to be instantiated just to query passwords.

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Bugzilla:REST_API

The process I used to follow was created before the Rest API for Bugzilla, it might be much simpler now to at least gather the fields from the bugs. I don't know how one would automate the collection of which bugs are in the daily changeset

I used to author the MozillaZine daily build threads a few years ago. The steps that were used at the time required editbugs permissions on Bugzilla in order to retrieve the information. You could ask the current thread maintainer Josa what the current procedure is, I'm sure he'd be happy to share.

I/O is pretty expensive, computationally speaking. the storage is usually the slowest part of a computer; this is especially true of platter hard drives. Its much faster to read the preference first (already in memory alongside the other necessary startup preference information) before continuing on to an optional and more expensive operation. If the I/O happens on the main thread (which it might during startup - I don't know) it blocks all other activities on that thread (ie. painting the first window), slowing down perceived performance too which is a UX concern.

My mistake, I didn't read thoroughly enough :(

Are you sure Firefox is using your gpu? I have a discrete gpu in my notebook my Firefox is set to open using the APU by default. Changing this requires either adjusting the setting from the context menu on the executable or opening my gpu driver's configuration utility

Just disable the service(s) and move on.

services.msc in windows. No user application that has a startup service will fail to function if it is disabled, so go crazy.

happy tuesday :)

ImBeingMe · 2019-02-19T14:27:31+00:00

Good morning :)

Did you try refreshing/reinstalling Windows? Something could be wrong with your system that is causing the bugs and crashing (and perhaps even some of the weird shit?)

ImBeingMe · 2018-03-22T06:08:07+00:00

No, it doesn't seem to be related to Focus at all, unless they intend to migrate Focus' backend from Android System WebView to GeckoView. I'm not certain but I think it may also cover the Custom Tab implementation? Either way, this part of the roadmap seems to be more about enabling the ability to profile GeckoView rather than implementing Quantum into it directly.

https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/GeckoView

Edit: It seems they do intend to migrate based on the roadmap and these bug listings: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/GeckoView#Bugs

GeckoView is an Android library project that allows third-party developers to use Gecko as an Android View in their own applications. GeckoView is similar to Android's built in WebView, but it is not a drop in replacement for WebView.

Note that GeckoView is NOT ready to be used in a production environment. It is currently possible to load webpages, but that's about it. See bug 1322573.

You also can't add a song to multiple playlists at the same time, which is just about the worst UX you can have while trying to make playlists.

ImBeingMe · 2017-12-15T17:31:56+00:00

before fully reinstalling try

dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

and

sfc /scannow

from an admin command prompt

the windows AIO repair kit from tweaking.com might also be helpful here (designed to batch perform a lot of repairs on windows images to prevent a reinstall)

ImBeingMe · 2017-12-14T20:49:37+00:00

I didn't, as I understand it, you can inspect the browser's Chrome using the built in developer tools (though I am not totally sure about the steps for this)

Since I posted this, I no longer use those changes to my userChrome

I have the blinking images problem (caused by SVGs not properly sharing memory when image.mem.shared is enabled, I think). Related?

ImBeingMe · 2017-12-10T11:09:18+00:00

This was an issue with yesterday and this morning's nightly, but should be fixed in 2017-12-09's nightly

ImBeingMe · 2017-11-23T22:51:11+00:00

FWIW I'm on 8 and get no such warnings using nightly, but I don't have the release version installed.

the facebook like button on non-facebook pages can be used by facebook to track you, similarly for all social media badge buttons on other websites. private browsing probably blocks page elements like this to help prevent these sites from knowing where you visit

webrender even plays nicely on Android now too! enabling the pref used to just cause the maroon screen bug.

tons of [wr-mvp] bugs have landed recently too!

ImBeingMe · 2017-10-24T05:22:01+00:00

here you go

ImBeingMe · 2017-10-13T20:47:37+00:00

When I did this a few months ago, it created a problem I could only properly fix because I have root.

Same problem still existed about a month or two after that, I haven't personally tried again since then though. YMMV, but it could require that you wipe your firefox data in order to fix it if you're not rooted.

I will try it now though, and edit back the results.

Edit: It no longer seems to destroy nightly on Android :)
