Posted by jimbo1qaz Thanks, that fixed it. Even works as soon as I switch tabs, no reloading needed. My current setup: Super Famicom ("2/1/3" SNS-CPU-1CHIP-02) → SCART → OSSC → StarTech USB3HDCAP → AmaRecTV 3.10 |

Posted by funkyassIf it's the Anti-Aliasing add-on I'm thinking of, no, it's not still available (not compatible with the Web Extension format). All setting values for gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.rendering_mode I usually used a value of 3 (I think) via the Anti-Aliasing Tuner add-on for Firefox, I guess I have to manually make that change now that the add-on no longer works. Edit: Maybe I didn't use a value of 2 or 3, GDI font looks nasty >.> AMD Ryzen 3700X | MSI Gamer Geforce 1070Ti 8GB | 16GB 3600MHz DDR4 RAM | ASUS Crosshair VIII Hero (WiFi) Motherboard | Windows 10 x64 |

-1 and 0 are *very* different. -1 makes Firefox specifically enables GDI-style "sharp and colorful" antialiasing for several older Microsoft fonts. (search cleartype to see which fonts) 0 lets DirectWrite decide how to render text (I think it chooses between 4 and 5 based on font size). Also changing the order of gfx.content.azure.backends (requires browser restart) will change how the cleartype settings are interpreted, in confusing ways. (Replace content with canvas to change how canvas is rendered.) (I think cairo is slow, especially for pdf.js.) |

Posted by jimbo1qaz I never understood why applications override the system antialiasing settings on a regular basis. Much less why browsers allow individual websites to override them. GOD DAMMIT, I DISABLED SUBPIXEL ANTIALIASING FOR A REASON*, STOP TURNING IT BACK ON! *Specifically, because it doesn't work through my glasses and just gives everything weird color fringes instead. --- In UTF-16, where available. --- |

Today I wandered into about:config to look for a setting, and discovered it's been redesigned and rebranded, including a cute cartoon dinosaur like the one that appears on the "DNS error" page. At first I wondered why they'd put that much effort into a page that end-users generally won't see anyway, but apparently it was part of the "de-XUL all the things" push that's going on.

It hasn't been redesigned in a stable build yet thankfully, but that does look worrying. Can you still double click an entry to edit it or must you click the small Edit button on the right of each entry?

Double-clicking an entry does nothing, you have to click the button on the right. One kind-of-useful feature that's now gone: previously, all the modified settings were sorted at the top of the list so you could find them easily. Now they're always in alphabetical order, like in very old versions of Firefox and Seamonkey. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI. |

And you can't run userscripts on it either, because Mozilla is vehemently opposed to users having any kind of freedom at all. What's the point of this extension nonsense? It should be trivial to patch Firefox to take extensions in dll/so format that interact with the internal API. That would solve the whole issue of 'sandboxing' and other crap, enabling you to run precisely whatever native code you wish at full performance (e.g. no more praying webextensions gives you the proper API) You'd have to put some hooks in but that's pretty much all. Can't be that hard. Why hasn't anyone done it before? EDIT: Apparently they had the feature in before, but they took it out due to "stability" or "security" or whatever. Christ, what unimaginable stupidity. But it's okay, because they replaced it with something else that they then deprecated. Give them an inch... There was a certain photograph about which you had a hallucination. You believed that you had actually held it in your hands. It was a photograph something like this. |

AV products shouldn't be hooking into browsers at such a low level in the first place. If you can't do it through a normal extension the user installs manually then you shouldn't do it at all. |

Posted by wareya AV products shouldn't be, at all. Maybe they could exist in the form of something like VirusTotal, but nothing else. I can't remember last time I used one and I've never had any trouble with viruses. In addition, they're completely useless for thwarting any kind of qualified attacks, only protecting against the exact same type of malware that ordinary common sense would protect you from. But for other extensions, it might be useful. For instance, ad blockers could do things with lower resource use if it could hook in at whatever level it wanted and run native code. Likewise, you could fix parts of the browser (like about:config) you couldn't previously touch. There was a certain photograph about which you had a hallucination.

No, not sandboxed in a separate process. It should still have full access to the memory of the Firefox process, but if it crashes it shouldn't bring FF down with it, but rather just stop interacting with the browser.
