I wonder why it works for me and not for you. I guess I'll have to guess what in my usage pattern allows that :-) Maybe I accessed the base URL without the query parameters.

The keyword trick given by others is nice. If like me you are lazy, use the autocomplete feature. First manually type the URL with the search terms and validate. Then for your second search type some unique part of the base URL and it appea

Maybe you could use a different theme for each profile, or put different buttons or buttons in different order in the toolbar? Maybe there could be an extension that shows the name of the current profile and/or an image/text chose

I wondered the same for the downvotes. #3 (communal process) can be really fun and enjoyable. It depends on the people. Each time I experienced it, people were always having great time. Perfection should not be sought. Letting people add th

I use rss2email with cron to send posts of my family's blog by email to people for whom straight RSS is not convenient. This is especially nice for my grandmother, who has an iPad. I found no RSS reader there that is easy to use enough

This is great. I didn't expect this to happen so soon. When we will have this and pixel-perfect scrolling enabled by default, the Firefox UI will be close to ideal for me. To get pixel scrolling now, the solution is easy: #!/u

I love them at times. Do you know if a Firefox 57+ compatible extension exists for that?

With light pages + efficient ad blocking, 50 tabs seem actually light on memory. This may be less true with video pages or many heavy online newspaper websites. Since I got a 32 GiB RAM computer, I don't know what is the memory usage o

I used to have tab trees and they are amazing. The extension I used had some stability / slowness issues and I also like having nothing on the sides of the webpage. I would still appreciate a tree view that shows when clicking a button

Thanks for the tip. I didn't know maximus. Actually, kwin does allow writing rules that do exactly that. However, this removes window management buttons, which I don't use often but do like to have. Extensions did that but are not

I wondered the same thing a while ago and I would think this is to ease dragging the window with the mouse, which you may want to do easily when the window is not maximized. I'd really like Firefox on Linux to hide the window title bar

Stock rom without root was pretty decent for me. No ads at all. However, I only use free software apps mostly from F-Droid (and uBlock Origin takes care of the web). I knew that this was putting myself in a bubble, but I had not realized th

One small thing that bothers me is the upvote button that looks too much like a button to (un)fold comments, especially when you can't downvote and therefore don't have any downvote button. I just discovered that there is a [-] to

A bit off topic but I wrote a very small JS library that uses this exact format 6-7 years ago. It transforms such an object to a DOM tree. This is nice to see somebody mention this format, this kind of validates it. So, thank you! It also a
