I have similar remarks. On OSX, the tab and the url bars are too big, they seem out of place.. Also, the black tab bar seems strange to me as I have a black OSX menu bar..
You can make the tab bar and url bar smaller by going to the menu > customize > density > compact.
Hopefully most of the missing extensions will be developed sooner rather than later. I have 15 extensions installed, 14 of which are "Legacy". The most critical one, Tree Style Tabs, has been converted. That was the key blocker that prevented me from seriously using Chrome. But many more remain; Cookie Controller, RefControl, some kind of Classic Theme Restorer equivalent (to get a menu bar back for Bookmarks, at a m…
Have a look here [0] for legacy extensions replacements. [0] https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TFcEXMcKrwoIAECIVyBU...
I know I have access to clumsy workarounds such as copying FF56 to a VM with updates disabled, or to have parallel Firefox installs, but Scrapbook is a daily-use tool for me, and clunky workarounds won't last long.
I'm thinking about reverse-engineering the way ScrapBook stores data so I can write my own migration to something else, but...oof.
Anybody have any suggestions for another plugin/product that offers the same features? Or, dare I dream, one that can import everything from ScrapBook? My searches for the latter have come up dry, but perhaps something obscure exists.
But the browser speed feels A LOT smoother.
Update: In the last hour I'm now reading about 1.8GB at 16 tabs. Still acting really fast though.
No video download helper. Anyone got a good way of downloading video streams?
Is there a good Vimperator replacement for the new webextension addon system?
Depends on your needs. If it's mostly the shortcuts, Vimium works pretty well (at least for me). If you want the full-blown UI customisation, then I'm afraid extensions are not allowed that anymore due to the associated security risks.
Just installed it, looks like the update overrode my previously set default of a blank "new tab" page in favour of their overly fancy, ad infested "new tab experience" page. Looks like it's time for another scan of about:config for any other nasties they decided to sneak in there this time.
No need to dive into about:config. Just click the gear icon at the top left to disable all stuff.
The new one is way too minimalist. It also appears to target people with poor sight all chrome elements suddenly became larger.
EDIT - The upgrade also wiped all GreaseMonkey scripts for some reason. Hmm.
EDIT - Downgraded back to 56. Way too many jarring UI changes as well as the AddOn breakage to justify the new snappiness. Mozilla also appears to have pulled the link to the "old releases" page from their main website, so here it is - https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases
Just upgraded. Definitely feels snappier at first glance, what I'm most curious about however is how much the speed deteriorates the longer I use it (if at all). The older version was definitely pretty bad after a couple of days of uptime. All in all though. Nice job so far. :) Edit: I do sorta feel like the tabs are now smaller (when there is a lot of tabs open), any way to make them bigger?
I know it's available in Beta / Nightly, but I don't know if it got backported to Stable nor will it.
Anyone else use PocketCasts web player? Chrome is able to play audio at 2.7x speed without distortion while Firefox still has issues. Is there a location where I can submit a bug report?
(In general, it's fine to chuck bugs into Firefox -> Untriaged and they'll eventually land in the right place.)
If Bugzilla's a bit of a pain, just let me know and I'll happily file it for you.
