As a user of Firefox Developer Edition, can someone please tell me how to turn off the extension signing requirement?
Nvm, found it.

patch it with a hexeditor

they're supposed to release a separate build for the stable branch, at least. dunno about the rest.
looks like somebody finally put keyconfig on amo, so i guess my big gripe against signing is moot

xpinstall.signatures.required is the preference. It exists in the current version of aurora, so presumably that's how developer versions will do it.
Ugh, New Xkit isn't signed yet, though& or HTTPS-E& or RequestPolicy Continued.
Though the last of those is getting a signature in the next beta.

condret: There's a pref for it, so far.
I've heard the pref's going away in a couple versions. I don't know if it will still be enabled in aurora/nightly or what.

nightly and aurora will continue to have a pref

Ah.

Hello, I've recently been wanting to try out firefox from chromium on my main linux desktop. I've tried various builds of firefox 43 and 42, but have the same issues on all of them: Pages such as irccloud.com will freeze immediately (no input possible), and lock a core at 100%. If I tab out of any tab and go back, it's greyed out with a spinner. Each tab I
tab out of locks another thread at 100%, eventually all cores are at 100% with no usable tabs. Is there anything I should be trying? On a much slower system (but identical in terms of software) firefox is mostly usable. I'd prefer using nightly for gtk3 and html5 video (like on the slower system).

have you tried the stable branch? it's at version 40 right now.
i say that because generally it's more stable.

Most pages load and accept input on the stable branch, I still have the tab out spinning circle issue on it however
Many pages wouldn't load at all on it either, but I heard embedded tweets were an issue and installed an extension to disable them. That's how I was able to get pages to load an image but freeze.

hm... maybe you need an ad blocker.

b0at: each time when I test a new build I rm -rf ~/.cache/mozilla/firefox/ ; ~/.mozilla/firefox, so no extensions (though I've tested with normal extensions as well). I just tested a firefox nightly build I've already tested on this system, on a i7 4770 system with same software and it loads these pages and keeps tabs loaded. Seems it's just an issue on my
dual e5-2687w desktop.
not taken on a clean firefox instance, but the tab out -- tab in issue I'm talking about (also what happens if you tab out of a page that doesn't load in ffox such as irccloud). http://i.imgur.com/mFb96YX.png

might try with hardware acceleration off, or safe mode which turns it off. that could be the common factor.

ah, will do.
this system is hawaii, the working system I just tested is hawaii
tested is tahiti*
thank you for the suggestion. With hardware accel off, pages such as irccloud freeze immediately after loading (no input possible). process locks a core at 100% as well.
When firefox freezes with multiprocessing disabled (decided to test), the options menu shows up on all monitors until I kill the process.
nvm, it happens with e10s also enabled. Only way to actually quit is to kill the process. Just trying to quit does this (and locks at 100%). Example (does this to all monitors though): http://i.imgur.com/DE9xkrj.png

hi, does someone know the config property to show the menu bar (File, Edit, ...) ?
it seems like it doesnt write that to prefs.js

tekzilla: you do want to display it at all time?
otherwise the alt button is your answer

evdw87: yes i would like to display it all the time, and set that in a config file
i want to modify the default firefox profile on a live CD to show the menu bar

tekzilla: what will happen when you right click on an empty area and click 'menubar' and restart?

i just tried that on my regular machine here, it remembers the settings, but there is no difference in the prefs.js file

tekzilla: hmm, I see
you could possibly fix it with some css

mhh if you have any idea i'd be interested :)

if you've go tsome time, I need to setup a new profile
I could write a style
won't take much time, but my setup is not ready :p

hey sure, that would be great, but only if you're really interested
its not that big of a deal :)

it's only a few lines i need to write

thanks man, that would be great
the live CD is for people to get in and out as quickly as possible, so it would be nice to have the menu there
there is "dom.disable_window_open_feature.menubar" to override settings "the page author" would make for popup windows
but i don't know how the page would control that in the first place, i guess thats something similar to what you are trying to do

tekzilla: that's controlled by javascript from within a website
that option tells the browser if that should be allowed

evdw87: ah ok, thanks, i figured it would have something to do with javascript from the "dom. .."

tekzilla: i've got the style somewhat working, only need to fix the height

evdw87: sweet! i have about an hour to go before people start coming in to work again :)
gotta be gone by then :P

it won' take that long :P

really appriciate it!

tekzilla: there's some condition where when an item in the menu is clicked, the titlebar height gets adjusted, I can't get my head around it
appart from that it's working
and it only does so when the "menu bar" option in the context menu is unticked

evdw87: hey thats just cosmetics, i'd love to try it out
as long as the menubar is easiyl accessible thats great
its just for short periods of use at a time, and people maybe not knowing how to get at the preset bookmarks

tekzilla: here's what I have for now: http://pastebin.com/gFj8AZ5M

i know there might be more straight forward ways to have a bookmark toolbar displayed, but i like the menu

use the stylish extension
make a new style and drop it in, give it a name and save

ok cool, i will try it out here locally
awesome, works perfectly :)
i see what you mean by resizing, the menubar gets a little border on selection, but its not really resizing
so anyway, it absolutely does the job :)
thanks a ton for taking the time, i would have been lost on this

I still feel bad about the titlebar height

it looks perfectly fine!

well, the titlebar's bottom-margin gets adjusted from -66px to -78px, that's what's happening to be precise

seems to have the right height here, on selection the bar gets a little border shadow on the bottom
oh ok, that doesnt seem to be happening here!

well, maybe it's because you have the 'menu bar' ticked

so there is no gap between the menubar and the tab bar
no i havent

hmm, that's strange
what OS do you use?

this is iceweasel on linux

ah, that might be it

31.3 :o

I'm on Windows
UI sometimes acts differently on different platforms

hehe cool so that problem somehow solved itself

well great!

it really looks just like the regular menubar
indeed, thanks man :)

you're welcome

now i need to figure out how to copy the stylish config over, but i should be able to get that figured out

there's another way
http://kb.mozillazine.org/index.php?title=UserChrome.css&printable=yes

sweet!!

but I don't know if my style will fit 1:1 because i've never used it

so just drop in the css class

I don't know if the first line is necessary
