There are only 2 things keeping me from using Firefox as my primary browser at this point.
1. After the switch to Quantum, the part of the Lastpass extension that lets me copy my password from the drop down went away. It's a pain to have to open the vault every time I want to do that and it works fine in Chrome. I don't know what happened there, but it's enough of a pain that it keeps me out of Firefox.
2. Google Meet. I don't know if there's an easy way to open Google Meet links in Chrome automatically, but we use it for work and the IE6 style browser requirement is a problem.
Those 2 friction points are the only thing standing between me and a permanent change.
EDIT: Apparently the Lastpass thing is the only bit holding me back now.
- andreyv 8y agoYou can select "Edit entry" in LastPass menu and copy the password from the popup window.
- driverdan 8y agoIf you edit the LastPass record you can copy the password. It shows it though so make sure no one is watching.
- judah 8y agoLastPass: I missed the "copy password" thing too, until I discovered it's still there. If you're on Windows, install the LastPass binary for Windows (I think running the LastPass Windows Universal installer[0] will do the trick). Once installed, it actually enables the "copy password" menu in Firefox. I'm using it right now with Firefox 61. [0}: https://lastpass.com/misc_download2.php https://lastpass.com/misc_download2.php
- brightball 8y agoWhen I use the universal installer on Linux, I get a weird glitch in Firefox where the extension just vanishes after I type in my email address. Haven't tried it on 61 yet though.
- DavideNL 8y agoWhat has kept me away from Firefox for the past 4 years is the terrible "pinch-to-zoom"... such a basic feature :/

- DavideNL 8y agoHah, it works quite good. Not as smooth as Safari yet, but definitely good. Thanks for the tip!

- eridius 8y agoInteresting, Google Meet now tells me to use the latest version of Chrome or Firefox. If Meet fixed their end to use the latest standardized WebRTC instead of the previous Chrome-only flavor, I wonder why they refuse to let me use Safari? Safari supports WebRTC at this point. The site won't even let me continue anyway, it's forcing me to use a different browser.
- brightball 8y agoGreat news. I'll try it out.
- Washuu 8y agoThe only difference I found is that Google Meet supports "Entire screen" only in Firefox and not individual windows.
- y-satellite 8y agoI've been using Hangouts on Firefox a fair bit recently. Video chats work fine, though I've noticed occasional glitches with the UI if I leave it open after the laptop goes to sleep. A reload fixes it, though.
