That will work too but i'm not sure js tree existed almost 3 years ago.

Vanilla, then wrote my own lib which include the most used functions.

Of course Google fucks are still trying to redefine the internet thinking they are an etalon and everyone will convert their websites. Try to avoid those links or simply copy/paste them in url bar and remove amp://

:) Oh I thought Raptor is a new company. I hope their board will be assembled in US or EU and does not include that nasty Chinese lil chip like Supermicro server mobos does.

It is a fighter jet, a weapon of mass destruction or wtf is with those names? Raptor computing systems, blackbirds, eagles and other mad birds... they can't get more american than this.

Haha the irony. Someone should fix their Apache config

supermicro.com is down. Coincidence?

We can't see the Linux train yet, but we can hear it :)

Here's my post on how to disable updates, telemetry, pocket, studies, accounts...etc : https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/9emqau/now_im_happy/

First of all you should select a default font in Preferences > Fonts & colors. I've selected DejaVu Serif and size 16px.

To make sure a custom font or the default one were rendered, press F12, pick an element on the Google page and see what fonts were used by clicking on Fonts tab as shown in my screenshot.

Well, pre-release updates aren't that "destructive" as on the Nightly channel and I don't mind if minor changes affect my work flow.

According to this article, the aurora channel is still used as a pre-beta, which i didn't know tbh:

What will happen to the Aurora population on Desktop?

The Aurora population will be migrated to the Beta update channel in April 2017. We plan to keep them on a separate “pre-beta” update channel as compared to the rest of the Beta population. We will use this pre-beta audience to test and improve the stability and quality of initial Beta builds until we are ready to push to 100% of beta population.

I've just changed the app.update.channel to beta.

As I said in my other comments, i prefer to update it manually once a week or so. When it comes to products like Windows 10 the so called "critical updates" are the norm because Microsoft can do whatever the F they want with your OS, even pushing updates while you're sleeping.

I use FF for about 20 years now and never had any problems other than UI changes, media playback, fonts, things that happen after some important updates.

Thanks.

I used to sync bookmarks, extensions and history but now my laptop is mostly offline, doing other things than browsing web :).

Been there, done that :))

From another comment of mine on the same subject:

Last time, after I updated FF while working, i couldn't access local projects because Google decided to force HSTS for .dev domains, so a new prefference appeared: network.stricttransportsecurity.preloadlist set to true by default (here's my post). Many developers were very upset after that update.

I just don't like this kind of surprises :)

Mozilla removed the "Never check for updates" option which is fine because pre-Quantum releases should be updated asap. What bothers me is that they also ignore the app.update.enabled setting from about:config making it harder even for "power users" to disable the automatic updates and do it manually.

Because losing control over the software we use is always a bad thing.

Don't get me wrong, I totally agree with updating to FF Quantum (v57+) and recommended to all my friends to do it but i consider that everyone should have an option to choose, like in everyday life.

That's why some of us enjoy GNU/Linux: because we are free to choose and we assume the eventual mistakes.

For those who want to manually update Firefox, install Enterprise Policy Generator addon and follow the instructions or create a directory called “distribution” in the directory where Firefox is located and place the file “policies.json” there.

I decided to do it because the notification messages were flickering whenever an update was available and I could not close them.

Super annoying "bug?" and I prefer to update FF manually anyway.

EDIT

That's right... downvote me to hell like you also do when people ask for help after the 6x updates messed up their addons and preferences

Gucci Gang

You mean SearXing :)))

Interesting. Thank you

You're right, RamSet had the correct answer to this problem. God, I love this community.
