Firefox cant even remove text from the URL bar if using a local file as a custom home page

Maybe it's a feature not a bug!
Caleb Butler
I'm not even sure what you are complaining about.
Caleb Lopez
when you open a new tab the URL bar is filled with text (whatever file path leads to your home page), you have to manually ctrl-a to highlight this text to begin typing whatever you opened a new tab for.
Bentley King
Oh I see, you're either nitpicking or autistic. Either way, have a good day.

>wanting to disguise the URL of your page
Firefox protects the user from deceptive fucks.
James Smith
Then why not use blank pages for new tabs?
Cooper James
There's an option in about:config to make it automatically select all when selecting the url bar (no ctrl+a needed). Search for URL in about:config and you'll be able to find it in under a minute.

Control+d you insufferable faggot.

>just use a dumb workaround instead of having your machine do exactly what you want
jesus Jow Forums i thought you had some self respect might as well just bend over for microsoft while your at it
Alexander White
i can't tell if you're shitposting or serious
Jaxson Jones
>having your machine do exactly what you want
Yeah, that sounds exactly like Chrome.
Blake Rivera
Stay on chrome, someone has to support all our datamining careers.
Aaron Clark
>b-but the alternative is worse
Sebastian Rivera
So what? Grab the source code and add your feature in if you're that adamant about it.
Grayson Wood
No, the alternative is exactly like that. If you set a custom homepage in Chrome you have the same problem of having to click into the URL bar (and as suggested you don't have to CTRL-A with FF either). A new tab doesn't open your homepage, but the "New Tab" page.
Gavin Hernandez
works for me.
Henry Nguyen
it works for me because I use something for it:
luke-baker.github.io
Robert Moore
only numales use chrome lmao
Lincoln Long
>n-no YOU'RE THE NUMALE
Carter Gonzalez
It could just as easily be a locally stored page opened by malware, or placed as your homepage spoofing the URL of your real homepage.
Jeremiah White
>clicking
what is ctrl-L
Asher Stewart
if malware has that much control over your system whats stopping them from just installing a keylogger and taking whatever they intend to get by phishing 10x easier?
Landon Bennett
>having a custom home page
Maybe because you're a ricer faggot.
Adam Morgan
If you have malware on your system, do you want to see signs of it, or would you rather everything give it every opportunity to hide itself perfectly?
Austin Russell
You do realise currently there would be no signs of malware because it can't access anything right? This entire thread is about how you can't control something that should be a very obvious feature.
Joshua Gomez
>Jow Forums why would you lie
Thanks for bumping the Firefox statistic, retard. :)
Hudson Williams
Tell me why making the URL bar say something other than the location of the current page is a feature and not a flaw. Should folders also have a way to make the file manage address bar say stupid shit other than /path/to/directory? Should png files have some extension to override the edit tools in your image viewer?
Ian Flores
>open new tab
>start typing
VERSUS
>open new tab
>ctrl-a
>start typing
Literally 50% more work
Adrian Nelson
Because then I can open a new tab and fluidly start typing to google something instead of being disrupted by some anti retard safety net. There is no benefit to seeing my fucking local html file home page file path every single time i open a new tab.
Elijah Parker
Open tab, click the address bar, start typing. When you click in the address bar whatever is in it is selected automatically for this exact reason.
Connor Clark
>Ctrl-T
>Ctrl-L
if you touch your mouse at any stage then you're never going to make it
Carter Young
>dude just do an unnecessary extra step lol
Jason Evans
make your own browser that pertains to your autistic demands then
Jacob Reyes
>machine do exactly what you want
Are you 12? This is impossible.
Logan Sanders
works on my machine
Brandon Price
That's how it works in every single browser, you fucking retard. About:blank tabs are the only ones that let you type to the URL bar straight upong opening them.
If you want a pointless feature so badly then grab the source code of the open source web browser you like the most and edit it yourself.
Kayden Wright
>using a local file as a home page
Your autistic use case is so autistic no one even thought about it.
Adam Hall
>>what is ctrl-L
>L
as in, ctrl+shift+l ?
Gabriel Collins
did i write shift?
Kayden Collins
you wrote it holding shift
Tyler Murphy
actually i turned on caps lock briefly
Dylan Thomas
so, ctrl+caps lock+l ?
Samuel Hill
It's 1/3 more work dude.
Jace Watson
its 50% you fuckwit
Sebastian White
if you press F6, firecuck highlights the text by default.
Zachary Long
i did this also, asked in the irc channel and they said it is a feature to prevent abuse.
Justin Rodriguez
Not related to my point, but I guess it's nice to know.
Asher Martinez
Why do you use your custom homepage for new tabs though? Just use Mozilla's homepage, if you want the same experience as with Chrome.
Ryder Barnes
The fuck is this thread even about? It is better not to highlight the whole bar when clicking in it you fucking retard. I totally hate that shit in chrome. If I want to do this then there is F6 or crtl+a
Holy shit you fucking mongoloid autistic loser.
