Why did Mozilla kill favicons?
Fuck you Mozilla!
>>53747779
because you touch yourself at night
they're right there you blind ass
>>53748001
they're not in the urlbar anymore
I had to fix it in Classic Theme Restorer
>>53748012
The horror.
>>53747779
Because for the last 8 years Mozilla have been on a spiral where they take out everything that made the browser good over time.
>>53748117
I just wish I had somewhere else to go.
Sadly, it's STILL the only usable one.
There are addons to regain that lost functionality. It's only a bandaid, but it works.
>>53748149
I'm using CTR but it keeps adding stuff that need a fix.
I don't like being dependent on a plugin that one day could go away
>>53748012
Why should they be in two places instead of one?
That was years ago
>>53748012
why would you want them in the URL bar?
they serve a function on the tabs: they let you easily identify the page
>>53748226
>>53748249
>why tho?
who are you to decide for me?
>>53748263
Well, not me but Mozilla invests resources into building their product, so they decide.
Although you can complain, there isn't more you can do unless you are investing your own resources to influence the development.
>>53748263
who are you to decide for the other Firefox users?
>>53748335
it was like that before, and everyone was happy.
>>53748263
>use software other people make and distribute for free
>complain when the people that make it decide to do something
you're free to recompile it yourself. nerd
>>53748359
>millions of lines of codes
that's like saying I'm free to defend myself in court if I study law for 5 years.
>>53748347
I'm happy with it now.
>>53747779
do people still use deprecated software like this?
>>53748370
Our car factory produces limitless free cars. Anyone who is a good enough mechanic can modify these cars for free. If you aren't a good enough mechanic yourself, you can always pay someone who is to do it for you.
>>53748486
Your cars are shit.
When someone comments on your cars being shit, you get all defensive and suggest them to build their own cars.
But no matter how defensive you get.
Your cars are still shit. Even though free.
>>53748541
Use another car. There are people who do think the car isn't shit and continue to use them.
>>53748631
I am. Just saying your cars are shit. As a reminder.
>>53748641
Congratulations on your autism, then.
>>53748650
>AUTISM

>using SJWfox unironically
I'm fucking shouting my laughter at you!
>>53748659
Well then what do you suggest that I use instead?1
>Favicons are often manipulated as part of phishing or eavesdropping attacks against HTTPSwebpages. Many web browsers display favicons near areas of the web browser's UI, such as the address bar, that are used to convey whether the connection to a website is using a secure protocol likeTLS. By changing the favicon to a familiar padlock image an attacker can attempt to trick the user into thinking he or she is securely connected to the proper website. Automated man-in-the-middle attacktools such as SSLStrip utilize this trick. In order to eliminate this, some web browsers display the favicon within the tab whilst displaying the security status of the protocol used to access the website beside the URL.
>>53748719
Oh look, a valid reason.
This has been the case for at least four years now. You can't be this stupid to have not noticed until just now.
>>53748714
all browser suck according to /g/
>>53748850
They do, in different ways.
>>53748719
Cool.
>>53748719
>firefox users are so dumb they cant tell what is in the address bar and what is on the web page.
I would ask for citation on that but it seems to check out.
>>53748134

>usable
>>53748719
this is absolute bullshit
>firefox raping my SSD with gigabytes of writes to profile folder and cache every day, just by having it open
>make small ramdisk, move that shit there
>saved my SSD from getting needlessly murdered prematurely
>>53748719
this is stupid
I have a favicon AND a lock for https
FUCK YOU
>>53748263
>who are you to decide for me?
They're not deciding for you. You're free to modify the source code to suit yourself.
>>53748659
How can a browser be sjw
Did it tell you how much of a soggyknee you were for all gay porn you look at and how much it disparages the strong wimminz
>>53749458
And you aren't using firefox
>>53749528
yes I am?
45.0.1
windows 8.1
Classic Theme Restorer
which is the only thing that fixed a NON PROBLEM
they even hide http part
>>53749540
>using an addon
Ok?
>>53748012
I didn't even know this was a think but now I see it in CTR. I don't really see the point
>>53749458
It's not that you can't have both, it's that they're removing the favicon from that spot so that casuals will not confuse the two
>>53749569
Weak shitpost.
>>53749614
Yours I'm assuming
>>53749604
if I wanted a browser for casuals, I'd use Chrome.
Sometimes they have good ideas like the new display for application/json encoded content and then they remove stuff that's been there for years with a small, but caring usergroup (e.g. tab groups)
>one step forward, three steps back

Don't have this problem with the latest Firefox, default configuration
>>53749781
>firefox
Lol
>>53749806
Nice meme, enjoy your Chrome botnet or buggy IE/Edgy
>>53749655
well that's what the addon is for. Chrome would not have this ability.
