well guys, new Firefox goes out today. This will be stable 43, beta 44, developer edition 45, nightly 46, and ESR 38.5.
Release notes aren't available right now, so here is a nice tl;dr how what to expect with the update.
http://www.ghacks.net/2015/12/15/firefox-43-find-out-what-is-new/
Your thoughts?
Same shit, who cares.
Trash Browser.
>Enforced addon signing
>Address bar botnet
Cuckzilla strikes again.
just updated to nightly 46
holy shit it's faster than chrome
holy shit I'm not updating! (again)
nope, not even considering updating from 36.0.4 which is the last firefox version that doesn't lag and act weirdly for me.
>>51876893
How stable are the nightlies these days? A couple of years ago they were crashing a lot for me.
Is ESR still untainted?
>>51876985
ESR is frozen, so it's still firefox 38 with just security updates and what not.
>>51876976
pretty stable
>>51876883
Don't forget, they're planning on removing the entry that allows you to use unsigned extensions in firefox 44, so you'll either have to deal with it or use a special release that won't force you to use signed extensions.. Will 44 be the death of firefox?
>>51877078
I wonder how much google and microsoft are spending on these morons to get them to completely end themselves
>>51876821
scrolling lags on 36 core machines. no one cares about fireshit
>>51877078
which unsigned addons are you using?
>>51877078
No one uses (or at least shouldn't be using) unsigned extensions aside from extension/add-on/Firefox developers.
And they should already be on Developer Edition or Nightly anyway, which will have the option to run them.
Literally nothing to see here. Stop being autistic.
>>51876821
no thx
24.8.1ESR all day err day
>>51877563
literally why?
So what's the process to get your extension signed? Does the Mozilla Foundation review your code?

>minor little shit

This is getting ridiculous. If they wanna do "fast release cycle" they at least have to keep up with the fucking development.
But what do I care, I jumped ship and am never looking back to that god-gone-pleb browser. It's a piece of shit now and mozilla has lost all my faith.

Not usually, but my browser is a very important tool for my work and losing work/progress in the middle of something could be devastating and cost many hours and lots of money.
1 crash by itself may not seem so bad. And if you were just browsing /g/ or something at a time, it wouldn't be. But if that one crash happened at a critical moment (and by Murphy's law, I know damn well that it will) it would be devastating.

I have gone back to IE11 and sanity has returned. I didn't realize that uBlock origin was getting me blacklisted from websites like YouTube and 4chan when I switched. With uBlock origin enabled, these sites throttle my bandwidth and ability to load content like webm and stream files.
Now that I am on IE11 everything is working correctly. This is some next level bullshit.
P.S. Fireofx is the worst browser ever made, even the classic one.

>So don't answer with >not usually
Sorry if the answer was not to your expectations but that's just how it is. I don't – usually.
But even once in a blue moon is enough for me to worry about a potential crash in that very moment.
That's why I only use Stable and ESR on my machines. But if other channels work better for you, good for you. No reason to argue about it.

>For unlisted add-ons, files submitted for signing will go through an automated review process. If they pass this review, they are automatically signed and a download link is sent back to the developer. This process should normally take seconds. If the file doesn't pass review, the developer will have the option to request a manual review, which should take less than two days. This is not the same process that currently applies to AMO add-ons, which has been typically slower.
Sounds like a false sense of security for users
I don't really understand about codig or programming, could someone explain why firefox is getting so much hate in /g/ lately but in a way anyone can understand?
I've been using firefox for 8 years and I feel ok with it.
>>51880097
They're trying to attract more people like you while getting rid of people like us
>>51880097
Mozilla is slowly making a chrome clone. They keep taking away features for power users but love adding features nobody wants like pocket.
>>51879262

>>51880097
>I've been using firefox for 8 years and I feel ok with it.
Apparently, you weren't using it.
Unless you are some kind of weirdly tolerant person to the level of naivety.
Because even I, who shits on all other browsers except Firefox, have started shitting on it for all the features and functionality it keeps cutting out, that was there by default;
in an attempt to copy Chrome because Google once sponsored Firefox and all the competent coders were replaced by hipster "designer" idiots.
The only result now is that Firefox is an inferior version of Chrome.
If i wanted Chrome, i would have gone to Chrome.
However I, and many others, don't want Chrome. We want Firefox. Now that Firefox is becoming an inferior Chrome, i have no need for Firefox anymore. Firefox has finally crossed the line with me, and i'm moving on to pester PaleMoon and IceCat devs.
Oh, and pic related. One of the reasons.
>>51880097
sjwfox lags like shit. only electrolysis can save mozilla now
>>51880276
I tried to install IceCat in Antergos but there's always an error while building the package, is it worth trying IceCat anyway?
Why did you fucks upgrade past 28 anyway?
>>51880376
Isn't it be in the official repos? Anyways, IceCat is great if freedom is your top priority. Absolutely no botnet of any kind will be in IceCat.

all my addon's are either unsigned or old versions i refuse to update because revisions suck hard

Some months ago I had to quit chrome as the ram it used was crazy and it lagged quite a lot. I've been using mozilla since and I have to say the performance is much better. In my ubuntu I still use chromium without problems, I guess chromium is just better. Why is Chrome getting worse and worse?
>>51880524
No, The oldest FF that gets updates is firefox ESR 38.
Harsh times ahead of us brothers. I'm still with firefox mainly due to firegestures but few more updates like this and I'm going to flip my shit and move somewhere else. What is the most saddening is that I already start to see that sites are working better on chrome then on firefox. People are starting to stop giving a shit about it. IE6 mode engaged.

This might not be the right place to ask, but youtube videos have been really laggy and out of sync the last month or so. It's worst on firefox. I've got it up to date and everything but that didn't help. My laptop is quite old and weak so maybe that's the issue but this is a very recent thing.
Is this firefox itself? Anyone else had this problem before and fixed it?
>>51880679
Not updating for my tab groups.
Fucking mozilla removes yet another working functionality.
>still using SJWfox
Firefox is pretty sad now.
Removing features, adding stupid shit like hello.
>>51876821
Firefox never cared about user freedoms.
Chrome UI clone detected. SJW detected. Chrome 2 company detected.
No thanks!
>>51881270
Blocking unsigned addons does not limited user freedoms. If you need to run unsigned addons, you can download the developer edition.

Its got multi-process. Fucking finally my 100+ comment threads loads almost instantly now. 300+ is same too. Its not lagging or stuttering.
I had to remove 1 extension (fireshot) as it wasn't compatible. But overall, this looks nice.

>>51881827
Yes, bigger memory usage aka what chrome is suffering from.
>>51881317
It doesn't benefit the user either and it will be a complete cluster fuck for some extension devs because they have to have any updates approved manually
One guy wrote a few lines of malicious code which went through automatic approval with no issue. Why, then, do we need this shit?

>This extension passes the AMO validator with no signing warnings, meaning it would be automatically signed for distribution. #1 required no modifications to pass validation. #2 and #3 required some l33t hacking in the form of Components.interfaces["nsI" + "p".toUpperCase() + "rocess"] and window['e'.replace() + 'val'](req.responseText) — variations on basic string concatentation

Little dipshit.
They've just externalized it to a signed extension (which, really, they ought to have done w/ Pocket and Hello and all that other cruft).
Pick up a changelog for once, Anon.
So I just updated to Firefox 43 64bit and I noticed that "Offline Web Content and User Data" had some exceptions added for websites. This has always been empty for me but now it had one very sketchy pudding website and the other was outlook.com
Am I the only one?

Did they delay the forced signing again? Can't see anything about it.
>>51883667
>Did they delay the forced signing again?
No.xpinstall.signatures.requiredis enabled by default now.
You can, however, toggle it in about:config for now.
That option is going away with 44.
>>51883723
Yeah, updated and checked. Last time I update I guess.
>>51883751
What kind of autistic extensions are you still using that aren't signed in 2016?
>>51883777
Just one I guess, which should be signed by FF44. More about restricting muh freedoms.
>>51883807
You can unlock your freedums by moving to the developer edition.
>>51883807
Firefox is open source. This means that your freedom is already there.
>>51883807
Yeah your freedoms to have malicious extensions hijack your browser…
But if you insist, there will be unbranded builds of Firefox Stable and Firefox Beta when 44 hits.
There's also Developer Edition and Nightly which you can switch to right now if you want.
No need to panic.
I still have some old addons
;_;
>>51883915
Old updates (assuming they are on AMO) should have been automatically signed by now even if the developer abandoned them.
>>51883931

>the extensions I'm using are old,
Chances are they are still on AMO, albeit abandoned.
You should look it up.
>guess I won't be able to use them anymore
Like already mentioned, there will be (at least) four flavors of Firefox to choose from which will let you.
Unbranded "Firefox"
Unbranded "Firefox" Beta
Firefox Developer Edition
Firefox Nightly
>I'll have to search for alternatives
You should do this in any case. Something that's still developed, or at the very least signed, would be preferable. Can you list your unsigned extension(s) so we have a chance of helping?
Also you may want to ask for help on https://www.reddit.com/r/FireFoxAddons
I know, I know…>Plebbit
But they've helped me find extensions in the past. Could also try their IRC at either Mozilla or FreeNode.
Not really much has been improved upon...nothing fancy, tracking protection is already provided if you use the Disconnect add-on and the signing shit doesn't bother me affect me at all.
>>51884126
Firefox nightly's just stuff that hasn't been tested at all, right?
>>51884187
It has a bunch of experimental features, some of which are a bit buggy, yes. But usually nothing completely breaking.
Should be fine for casual/personal use. Some /g/tards swear by it.
You should probably choose Developer Edition (previously Aurora) instead for a more predictable experience though.
It'll still get features pretty fast but much less bugs than Nightly.
>>51884187
They sometimes add new features which turn on automatically. For example when they added e10 pretty much nothing worked and you had to turn it off..
>>51884187
The most bleeding edge of firefoxes
There is actually no reason anymore why someone should use Firefox, Mozilla has degraded into a third class imposter of Google Chrome.
And that gay supporting SJW morons and Christian haters from Mozilla can go to hell.
>>51884477
>There is actually no reason anymore why someone should use Firefox
shill pls go
Firefox is still open source and still the most customizable browser out there.
And every little thing they have added or removed in recent years can easily be fixed with a click in about:config or with the help of extensions.
The only competitor in terms of customization is Vivaldi, but it's not open source…
>>51884537
There should be no need for extensions to customize the browser. It worked awesome until Firefox 22 before Mozilla decided that Google Chrome's system is more fitting for them.
If they would have the tiniest bit of interest in power users they would not have crippled the browser that much,
Btw. After XUL dies, you can not customize the UI with CSS as userchrome.css seems also not be on the future support list for Mozilla anymore. And you get more restricted add-ons and only what Mozilla decides that can be customized get an API to enhance Webextensions.
>>51884537
And i rather would use a browser like Vivaldi where the developers show love for advanced users than supporting such cock sucking lame Google fanboys from Mozilla!
But as i do not agree with closed source, i plan to move towards Otter-Browser once they have QTWebengine at a working state.
Face it moron, customizable Firefox of today is when Servo is in place instead of Gecko 90% dead and buried, enjoy your native non customizable UI with very limited add-ons!
>>51884477
I use Firefox because it's free.
>>51884661
That only a simple fag can say.
>>51884661
So even Firefox loses all it's unique features you will use it because "it is free"?
Seriously, you morons should be put into ISS and blown up without thinking twice. Simple fags like you ruin the whole computer industry.
How about growing yourself a brain and learn for once how features and technology work, then you pathetic fucktards would be at least once in your life being useful for anything.
>>51884590
>There should be no need for extensions to customize the browser
That's bullshit. There were themes and extensions to customize Firefox long before Australis, which I assume is what makes you think Firefox has become a Chrome clone.
Also there's a theme for Pale Moon which gives the Australis theme.
This says it all – you can't please everyone with the default appearance. Extensions are absolutely necessary and your reasoning is shit.
>>51884744
Freedom in software means I can put in all the features I want into it. Whatever Mozilla does to Firefox will not take away my right to modify Firefox.
>>51884765
Moron! I am not talking about removing extensions. I talked that this feature removal to be like Chrome was stupid. Why creating a problem where before was none? Before you had no need for one single one to customize the UI, now you need dozens of them to get rid of the Chrome UI you stupid shithead!
>>51884778
Sure moron. But that is not a possibility for everyone. You only have half a brain, don't you?
>>51884815
It's actually a possibility for everyone!
