I there a plugin to spoof the UA for certain sites only? Edit: it doesn't work.
This should do the trick: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/user-agent-st...
Heh. It's the same old web app from the works-in-firefox days.
It seems like drag-and-drop is out of fashion. I think big reason is that it really cannot be done well on touch-screen devices and touchpads. I don't really complain, because I have always found d&d rather impractical (and it's also terrible for accessibility); unfortunately, there are some applications that still rely on it a lot. (As an aside, what bothers me more that the right-click menu goes out of fashion. Tha…
A customer of mine uses Kanbanize to organize software development. Think Trello on steroids. I imagine that instead of dragging cards to their destination we could open a menu and select the destination column. Maybe that would be even faster sometimes. However reordering cards inside a column without drag and drop would be a pain: Move Up, Move Down buttons, no thanks.
But what about selecting a card and being able to move it around with the keyboard?

I don't disagree, this is a great example. I think d&d can work in special cases where the distance for the item to travel is not too small (so that you wouldn't move things by accident), but it is also not uncomfortably far away so that you don't see the target and have to navigate to it while you're d&d-ing. I guess these limiting factors are what makes it tricky to get right. But what about selecting a card and be…
I switched to Firefox after they stopped caring about usability issues (like right clicking without releasing left mouse button deselects the text since v fifty-something on windows), the difficulties they created for ad blockers, the account integration fiasco, and so on. I know this particular bug seems to be an edge case that may happen with every browser, but when you are using Chrome, you should know that if an…
And in Firefox ? someone still needs to prioritize issues, and issues affecting more people will get more attention in both browsers.
As an immigrant struggling with a new language personally I need Chrome's right click to translate a page functionality in Firefox before I'll fully move

I just can't get past the font weight rendering and the scroll bars. Is there any way to make them not look terrible?

Less ergonomic and most people don't use the keyboard anyway.
