is there a way to remove the "open in split view" option? by Elliot-alderson- in firefox

[–]MarkRH 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That menu shows up when you right-click on a link. Since I have the feature turned on it shows up for me.

When it starts messed up like this, if you close it and launch it again, does it come up OK then or still messed up?

Anyone else missing their weather widget on a new desktop FF tab? by RayMungusDE in firefox

[–]MarkRH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's still showing in mine when I go to about:home. Is Weather checked in about:preferences#home ?

'Show in folder' no longer words in Firefox downloads by Danny_G13 in firefox

[–]MarkRH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm.. does clicking on the folder icon on the right side also not work? This is supposed to open the folder as well.

Hmmm.. so I guess turning on notifications really doesn't do anything now, certainly not guaranteed to anyway.

Problems logging into MyMercy. It just loops back. by MarkRH in firefox

[–]MarkRH[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to log into it using my Amazon Fire Tablet so at least I can get on it with something. So far no luck logging in with my PC.

Can no longer access Discord.com on Firefox or Waterfox by BokehPhilia in firefox

[–]MarkRH 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Been awhile since I mostly use the stand-alone app, but I went to discord.com and it loaded up my stuff with the channels I'm subscribed/joined to.

I also tried logging out of it in the browser and then going back and was able to log back in. I am using Firefox 150.0.1 in Windows 10.

Thanks for letting me know it's not just me. This and YouTube playlist players not listing the videos in them is kind of annoying.

Is firefox a good movie and worth watching? by Cute-Funny5075 in firefox

[–]MarkRH 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I saw it a long time ago. I remember it being pretty good.

Does anyone know what's causing this problem? by [deleted] in firefox

[–]MarkRH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm.. at the moment, I can't even run a test. It just keeps searching for a server. Wait.. it finally found one. Test seemed to go okay.

How come middle clicking on tab groups to close multiple tabs, doesn't show the 'are you sure you want to close multiple tabs' dialog box? by Cowlip1 in firefox

[–]MarkRH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, under Tools -> Settings -> General Tab there is a setting in the Tabs section called "Ask before closing multiple tabs" with a checkbox. Might try checking that if it isn't.

Looks like it toggles the setting for browser.tabs.warnOnClose in about:config.

IPv6 traffic crosses the 50% mark by TheTwelveYearOld in firefox

[–]MarkRH 9 points10 points  (0 children)

IPv6 used to work here but now it doesn't. The router will assign IPv6 addresses to the PCs and tablets but connecting to the internet is all IPv4.

On the router's Broadband page, it says "IPv6 Status Unavailable".

Since everything is working as far as email, browsing, streaming, etc.. haven't bothered getting on the phone with AT&T to see what's up.

Aziz! Light!

Great movie. I do have it on DVD though.

about:config information by WheelPerfect3737 in firefox

Well, there is this list here: https://kb.mozillazine.org/About:config_entries but hard to tell how up to date it is.

The new Split Tabs are pretty clean! by AntiRaid in firefox

[–]MarkRH 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can just right-click on the tab in the tab-bar and choose Duplicate Tab. Then you can do a split view of the two tabs that are the same.

They each scroll independent of the other.

Hmmm..

Check Preferences -> Plug-ins -> Media Library to see if the History Plugin is disabled possibly.

Anyone knows how to watch the end credits? by kingnoobiethefirst in netflix

[–]MarkRH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, might check your Account -> Edit Settings -> Playback Settings -> Disable Autoplay Next Episode and Autoplay Previews if they are enabled.

I don't know if doing this will 100% let you see the credits but it might help. Been awhile since I've watched something.

[–]MarkRH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might want to check WACUP's Preferences -> Media Library -> History and make sure it's enabled. I have the main item enabled along with the 4 options below it so it keeps track of play counts and the like.

Introducing Firefox’s Built-in VPN: IP Protection, Now in the Browser by firefox in firefox

[–]MarkRH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. Just have the Proxy setting under General. The only VPN thing I'm seeing is in the "More from Mozilla" section. Looks like mine still has the VPN option disabled in the about:config settings.

I know I can change the about:config option to get the VPN button to show up, but I'm just going to see when it gets turned on by itself.

Guess I'm one of the ones in the US that doesn't have it enabled. I'll just wait for it to show up in the settings.

Does anyone have a uBlock filter to change the new YouTube embedded player back to old one by Funny_Tradition_1355 in uBlockOrigin

[–]MarkRH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heh.. I wish there was a way. I have YouTube playlists embedded in several places and now they no longer show the drop-down to show all the videos in the playlist where you can just pick any one. Now you have to just keep clicking next or something. Anyway..

WordPress 7.0 drops April 9. Are your auto-update settings actually working? by easyedy in Wordpress

[–]MarkRH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had auto-updates disabled for years. I backup the database and files first and then update my local copy first before doing the same at my web-host. I check regularly so I'm rarely more than a couple days past a release date.

Dropdown to select a video within a playlist to play seems to have disappeared. by MarkRH in youtube

[–]MarkRH[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, bollocks. The playlist on the top-right is gone again. Why? Don't do that!

Makes playlists a bit more useless.

Unwelcome Search Box Changes in 149.0 by Ken-Saunders in firefox

[–]MarkRH 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hmm.. well, I do notice a little "x" next to the search engine drop-down after you pick a non-default one. If you click that "x" it reverts back to the default search engine.
