  • Firefox 2.0, Find As You Type and Next (and other missing buttons)

    My testing with Firefox 2.0 RC2 turned out yet another feature I need to tweak to make it work the way I want: Find As You Type now brings up a stripped-down (featureless) quick search instead of the normal search with clickable buttons. IMO this sucks ass. So here’s a fix:

    A quicker and easier hack than the one I posted below […] can be done by editing your userChrome.css and adding

    /* Use the old-style / and ' QuickFind Bar instead of the featureless QF found in FF2.0 */
#FindToolbar > * {display:-moz-box}

  • Firefox 2.0 RC 2 and extensions

    The implementing of my regular extensions into Firefox 2.0 seems to have gone beyond just TabX: there’s no more need for Session Manager or undoclosetab either.

    Looks like SwitchProxy no longer works, but FoxyProxy promises to do so, and also offer more features than SwitchProxy or in fact any other such extensions. Paste And Go has been superseded by Paste And Go 2. Greasemonkey‘s said to be compatible with only up to 2.0b1 for now.

    For a while, I thought the tab closing ‘x’ button was only available on the active tab, but then I discovered browser.tabs.closeButtons, and was confused, as it was set to ‘1’ as it should be in order to Display close buttons on all tabs and not just the active one. I then discovered browser.tabs.disableBackgroundClose, which my about:config didn’t have, and set it to false, just to be sure. No effect.

    The reason behind the vanished closer buttons turned out to be browser.tabs.tabClipWidth. TabX had no such value, so that the closers were always visible. I decreased the default value of 140 down to 70 for starters, but I might have to set it down all the way to zero to retain the feel of TabX.

  • Session management in Firefox

    I’ve only just discovered that SessionSaver is considered one of the problematic extensions of Firefox, and the list recommends replacing it with Session Manager. Hopefully this’ll also solve the issue of half-eaten posts with WordPress, which I’ve also linked to SessionSaver.

    I wonder if the session recovery feature mentioned in Release notes for Firefox 2.0 (which at this point is still only a Release Candidate 2) is based on either of these, or whether it is an independent implementation.

    Actually, I think I’m going to install RC2 right now.

  • How to disable background sound in Firefox

    this is how you block background sounds: put this in your userContent.css file:

    /* block embedded sounds */
object[data*=".mid"],embed[src*=".mid"] { display: none !important; }
object[data*=".mp2"],embed[src*=".mp2"] { display: none !important; }
object[data*=".mp3"],embed[src*=".mp3"] { display: none !important; }
object[data*=".mp4"],embed[src*=".mp4"] { display: none !important; }
object[data*=".wav"],embed[src*=".wav"] { display: none !important; }
object[data*=".wma"],embed[src*=".wma"] { display: none !important; }

    Had to look for a way to do this after having exposed my ears to the front page of Finland-Korea Friendship Association, while looking for comments on North Korea’s latest feat.

    Well, it doesn’t seem to help. The horrible jingle is still played.

    No, wait – it’s just those stupid fancy quotation marks WordPress has shoved into CK’s comment – so replace any occurences of “ or ” in the above with a regular, plain, sideless double quotation mark, a ".
