I would agree with you normally. But in this case there's a much bigger "bug" they must handle: The vast majority of users have migrated to Chrome or some other browser that don't respect their privacy. We power users ar

Have you tried Ctrl-wheel or Ctrl-+ (plus key)?

Bookmarks and history both have import/export functions. I've used them, as well as Firefox Sync which preserves your privacy more than Chrome's.

No need to dive into about:config. Just click the gear icon at the top left to disable all stuff.

Most of these were done by users scratching their itch. And I'm confident that's exactly why we'll get most of those experiences back.

I had them all synced for several years, surviving several data-losing crashes. I realized how I didn't actually use most of them.

It's a very nice feature. But note that a consequence of this is that you'll loose data if you desync all devices. The private key is only transferred from device to device, without being stored in any server.

What problems do you have with the new version?
190.
by DiThi 9y ago
Yes. Been using it for years. The only gotcha is that adding a new devices loses the date of bookmarks. If you care about that, a workaround is to export and import them.

Hopefully now there will be many developers with an itch they must scratch. Tree Style Tabs was the main blocker for me too.

You make it sound like there's no movement, but I see enough movement to have both short-term alternatives, and medium term fixes. Read comment 46 and the next ones. They were super busy with what they can actually release with FF 57.

Shadertoy is just drawing a plane with a shader. Many less graphics calls than a regular WebGL app (which is where Chromium still shines). Even then, Chromium renders that link full screen a bit smoother than FF in Linux desktop.

Yes, mostly JS debugging.

I've been using FF sync for at least 3 years now, probably more. And FF 57 is definitely on par with Chrome in browsing speed. Still not quite there with WebGL, though. The debugger is much better now, too, and surprisingly more respon

Indeed, I didn't think it could surpass Chrome's dev tools quality so quickly.

by DiThi 9y ago
It's too soon to judge, I think. I would be happy using the old FF if the new one didn't have already the things I need. In the mean time I would try to collaborate. Once FF 57 is out of beta officially, there will eventually be e

I was rather asking about performance for your girlfriend. Regarding addons, I'd say give it time. It's a chicken and egg problem that will be solved with time. I was not expecting to switch until end of the year.

by DiThi 9y ago
Give it some time. I was expecting not to switch because of lack of Tree Style Tabs until around end of year. But I switched some weeks ago. Some addon authors use this opportunity to make a better addon. A few days ago GreaseMonkey has bee

Did any of you try FF 57? I also used a lot of extensions, but basically all the ones that mattered to me work again. (For tree style tabs I have to add a bit of CSS in a file to make it not awkward, though)

by DiThi 9y ago
FF 57 has it.
202.
by DiThi 9y ago
Have you tried the dev tools in FF 57? As a FF user with Chrome-as-debugger for 3-4 years, I'm honestly impressed. FF 57 also has "duplicate tab" with duplicate history.

The idea is to hash the original image, but to send the obscured one for human verification. However this requires a different hashing method (such a Merkle tree) to know the unobscured parts match.

I'm surprised Velleda doesn't get a single mention. They were* synonymous with whiteboard markers here in Spain. Quality and durability were very high. The smell was strong but I liked it much more than other markers. I can barely

If you can send only the fingerprint, what stops you from uploading photos you are not in? A better idea may be an uploading tool where you can obscure some parts for verification.

I've tried it with a bunch of files of an open source project of mine. It's in coffee script 2 so I've converted it to ES6 first. It has found many minor problems, and a couple of potential bugs. Definitely useful!

Yes, it is indeed. However I base my conclusions on existing prototypes and their cost.

As it has been said in another comment this should link to the whole playlist or the video with playlist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p0ASFxKS9sg&list=PLbg3ZX2pWl... Otherwise it's just an intro.
