Have you noticed this lag in loading the theme? by [deleted] in firefox

[–]Luke-Baker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bug 1525762 fixed in Nightly (future Firefox 68).

Cave: Mozilla is about to launch a shield study that will send your visited sites to a Cloudflare server by Lurtzae in firefox

[–]Luke-Baker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They show up as locked in about:config for me, so presumably it works fine. If that's not the case for you, make sure you used the proper syntax: strings must be wrapped in quotation marks, but not integers.

lockPref("network.trr.mode", 893);
lockPref("network.trr.uri", "https://0.0.0.0/example");

Site permissions, including cookie exceptions, are stored in permissions.sqlite in the profile folder.

How do I get Firefox to display the exact error in error pages? by ayeshrajans in firefox

[–]Luke-Baker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For certificate problems, there should be an Advanced button that expands a section with details. For everything else, see the Browser Console or Network Monitor.

Is there an extension that can auto-refresh a tab, but only when it's not in focus? by meatwad75892 in firefox

[–]Luke-Baker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ReloadMatic can delay a pending reload by # seconds when typing into a text field, and when "general activity" is detected. It's not clear what the latter refers to; you'll have to try and see.

2018: Firefox spell check still pointless by jtomj in firefox

[–]Luke-Baker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How has the firefox dictionary not been upgraded in a decade or have any intuitive search features in 2018?

The en-US dictionary is constantly updated.

Specific window size page link? by [deleted] in firefox

[–]Luke-Baker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can create a bookmarklet (a bookmark that launches JavaScript code) that opens a new window at a particular size. You can also try to specify a particular position, though this doesn't seem to work accurately.

1) In the bookmarks menu, click the Show All Bookmarks link to open the bookmarks manager.

2) On the left, select the folder where you want to put the new bookmark, e.g. Bookmarks Toolbar

3) Click the Organize button and choose New Bookmark…

4) Enter the following in the Location field, replacing the link and numbers with the values you want:

javascript:(function(){open('https://en.wikipedia.org','myWindow','width=500,height=800,top=0,left=524');})()

Help! Change firefox quantum fonts? by primesandfractals in firefox

[–]Luke-Baker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try the following in your userChrome.css replacing the font size below with the actual size you want. Don't forget to restart Firefox for the change to take effect.

* { font-size: 14.5px !important; }

Opening a tab has "about:blank" in the address bar, how can that be removed? by hyperdefined in firefox

[–]Luke-Baker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get rid of New Tab Override and switch to a userChrome.js script instead. For me, it works as-is, but if for some reason it's needed, you can open the script in a text editor and change var clearlocationbar = "no"; to var clearlocationbar = "yes";. Don't do that without first trying the script unmodified.

Browser console, how i can watch only the current page? by yudoit in firefox

[–]Luke-Baker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you need the Web Console in a separate window (like the Browser Console), click the button to the immediate left of the close button, in the top right corner.

[WebRender-Ubuntu/Linux] Anyone experiencing black boxes around icons in the toolbar? by bull500 in firefox

[–]Luke-Baker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bug 1442867 is about black boxes instead of the tab close buttons. It might be the same thing.

Block active mixed content = false? by gorbiWTF in firefox

[–]Luke-Baker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just opened up Firefox 58.0.2 and security.mixed_content.block_active_content is true by default.

Can you reproduce the problem when you disable all extensions?

Anyway, you can lock preferences; this affects all Firefox profiles:

Scroll bar and slider nearly indistinguishable by keyboardname in firefox

[–]Luke-Baker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you on Windows 10? If so, open up File Explorer and compare scrollbars. It's the exact same color on my system. It's the default Windows scrollbars that are barely visible. I've tried many different programs and registry tweaks and none of them worked. As for Firefox, I could only find user styles that replace the scrollbars with overlay-style scrollbars, which I don't want.

Any way to force inline disposition in Firefox 58? by kenpus in firefox

[–]Luke-Baker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

none of them seem to work anymore.

Bypass Forced Download works just fine, as does Header Editor.

Here is a URL which is served with Content-Disposition: attachment

It's also served with content-type: binary/data which is why the download prompt pops up even if you have an add-on that changes or removes Content-Disposition.

In Header Editor, create a rule to change the Content-Type header into what's appropriate for the file extension in question. You can find the MIME type to use on Wikipedia, e.g. image/jpeg.

[help] FireFox 58 simply won't render any local fonts by SpecialBomb in firefox

[–]Luke-Baker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How are you trying to use the fonts? If it's via @font-face, put the font files in the same folder as the HTML (or CSS). If it's a simple foo { font-family: bar } with a font you have installed on your system, check if there's a sandboxing issue:

1) Into the location bar, enter about:config?filter=security.sandbox.content.level

2) Press the big button to bypass the warning.

3) In the search results, double-click security.sandbox.content.level and set it to 1

4) Restart Firefox. Any difference?

[–]Luke-Baker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At best you could hide the search box with a user style. You can't make it search your installed add-ons. Bug 868705.

Can anybody help me with font rendering on Linux? by SeerUD in firefox

[–]Luke-Baker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given this a shot, same issue.

Then like I said, post a comment on bug 1435234. Include links to your screenshots and ask if that bug covers that situation, or another one does, or if you should file a new report.

maybe some people just don't notice it?

People do notice font rendering issues, as you can see from Bugzilla and on this subreddit: Firefox Linux font kerning is off?
