What version?
source?
I still get the old about:config in the latest release of firefox (I won't install beta and alpha crap)
rip
if they kill user js too im done
source on all claims
Latest Nightly versions, although it's going to eventually land in the Stable release too.
The old about:config was made with XUL and Mozilla is dropping it, so they eventually would have had to redesign it anyway.
The issue being that it's way worse for no apparent reason except "just because".
Get the latest Nightly and see for yourself, brainlet.
I'm on nightly, my new page doesn't consume even 10MB. So argument invalid

what would you add? I've never heard of that

about memory and about performance pls
good, no one should use this steaming pile of shit anyway
limit total history entries for example
it's auto determined by def but if you can live with shorter history it can speed up the library a lot

From bugzilla
"I'm lowering the priority of this because sorting by status in the current "about:config" is done only on 0.4% of page views, and we already have "about:support" that shows relevant modified preferences for the troubleshooting use case."
>0.4% of a fucking 5% market share browser used sorting.
IT'S OVER FIRESHIT IS DONE I'M INSTALLING CHROME FUCK YOU SJWs!!!!11one
kys OP
>dropping xul
Good tbqh
Nobody is developing XUL anymore
I hope Thunderbird though makes it when XUL dies
I don't give a fuck about Firefox, it's a shitty web browser and there are plenty of shitty web browsers around, but Thunderbird is unique, there isn't any other mail client that comes close to Thunderbird in cross platformness, stability, speed, features, compatibility
it's prob easier to add with user js anyway
>I'M INSTALLING CHROME
good
fuck you
now fuck off and remember to spread your ass cheaks too
you can't read or immune to sarcasm? or should I add s/ to the posts? fucking underage cancer
Fucking this.
Never used about:nigger in my life, let alone sorting something or adding values.
Changes that produce an objectively worse outcome for X or Y reason should be called out regardless of whether you use said function or not.
Then again, OP didn't provide a source and it looks like some of his claims are bullshit, so there's that.
With that being said, I do agree with you in that people should stop using about:config and just start to use a prefs.js or user.js file.
They're pretty comfy and easier to manage.
Open prefs/user.js in vim and edit to your heart's content. Fucking babies

you should go back is what you should do and also kys

I want to believe there are still some of the old Jow Forums left and not just the new brainlet Jow Forums
> he doesn't use the ESR version
why even fucking live?
>using the esr firefox
It's old as fuck
I use Debian Stable and even I'm not crazy enough to use ESR
Looks retarded even for an alpha
Looks good desu. There will obviously be a sorting option. It might arrive a version later but it will be there.
you must be retarded. esr gets all relevant security patches, you stupid fuck.

. . . i hate re d i t
do you mind not making the 'cute' cartoon creatures overly cancerous?
>all relevant security patches
Does it get all the new technologies that improve web browsing like Quantum or the WebRender though?
I would assume it doesn't, which automatically makes it an inferior version, at least on my book.
Not him btw.
only critical security ones afaik
you don't have to use debian's esr

I remove debian's firefox and use mozilla's firefox in opt

wait what? that's literally all i've ever done with it
what the fuck does it even do now?
>clickety click clack muh mouse
just use user.js like a literate person user
pale moon does not have this problem
Honestly is it really so difficult just to loop through available settings and create an interactive XML page that allows you to change them with select lists and check boxes based on their applicable values? I mean it's a goodamn browser, it has all of those capbilities literally baked right in, it would take all of 5 minutes.
it doesn't have to be in opt

Eat shit, shill, you're no better
>Have to
You don't, but it is a better option compared to having to use about:config, specially now that this new ugly version is rolling out.
>pale moon does not have this problem
No, but it has many others.
The first point is currently not possible. You can still add new parameters and change values, but only via button clicking.
No, but I had it installed there and I just chown -R $USER:$USER /opt/firefox
On second though, I should install it on ~/bin/firefox, thanks user
thanks to dependency handling upgrading my system without upgrading firefox will cause the latter to not work
idk it's not a single binary, i just have mine in ~/.firef/
you're doing some shit
Are you an mpv hater too? Just use user.js, faggot.
If you want to be a special snowflake then why are you using a binary distro in the first place? Just use gentoo, long compile times is a meme from low core intel fags. You can even ditch your hated systemd theer!
>my new page
You should have your posting privs revoked
what about ?filter=
does that still work?
time to get used to user.js
>being able to do what every single windows system can do is being a snowflake
this is why GNU/Linux will never pass 4% market share on desktops
and that's a good thing
What are you even crying about? You can download the fucking Firefox zip, extract it and launch it without worrying about your package manager or dependencies.
This.
You are lying piece of shit with no clue. You can even use meta package managers to get various versioned shit absent of your system package manager. Of course you should fuck off to windows if you intend to do the same garbage windows does.
freetards toxic as usual
How is toxic you fucking retard?
not being able to double click to interract is not a big deal, at all
calm your autism
this
(fuck off we're full)
>More problematic than that is that Mozilla won't allow deep links to about:config pages anymore citing that it "might not be a good idea" or even "risky in some regard", and that users should just copy and paste preference names in the search box instead.
[reees internally]
Where did this come from?
Lol at reason 1. If you don't innovate and your competitors do then you die as a company. I don't back a lot of the changes there doing but they need people working on stuff for the future.
>they need people working on stuff for the future

comments on that page
yeah change for the sake of change sure is good
Not that shit
Low IQ detected. Change for the sake of change obviously isn't good. But you need to have people on board who will improve the product. Unfortunately the're just shitting it up at the moment.
this is fucking gay holy shit
is there a non shit browser that supports ublock origin and Jow Forums x plugin?

thx bro
why would you want to move beyond meritocracy? it's the most democratic system that gives everybody the same starting point. the rest depends on what you're willing to invest to rise to the top

What replaced XUL?
np, remember to use the 'legacy' version of ublock origin, and the palemoon version of greasemonkey
github.com
github.com
Notice the quotes around the word meritocracy. They're not, in my opinion, using the widely accepted definition but the one that Caroline Emke writes about.
They're replacing XUL with straight up HTML.
mozilla.github.io
bgrins.github.io
They're like 3/4ths of the way though and expect to be finished with the project around next year if not earlier.
Yeah, because they're planning to include a check box to only show changes values.
bugzilla.mozilla.org
getting anywhere in meritocracy requires effort, you can't get anywhere with boobs alone, this angers certain groups
So what you're saying is that they aren't adding a sorting option?
>improve
and you know how they could have done that? by fixing security instead of remaking all of their web sites and putting those disgusting ''''creatures'''' in your face altho thankfully they're still keeping them almost out of sight mostly
you won't be able to sort them obviously
what's the big deal? i find the buttons better than right or double clicking
now the removal of ?filter IS fucking problem
