Firefox DRM "features"

I doubt you'll ever be able to make your own web browser when you can't even bypass the extension signing.

in the recent update it was entirely blocked out, in 47.0.1 it wasn't forced down your throat, you could change it and it would work, but doing all known options like i could in 47.0.1 it blocks out all add ons that are unverified, it won't run, it's a "feature" in the new update, check for yourself

if you're malware-botnet addon can't get signed, get the FUCK off of my /g/

>>55882721
it's a self compiled add-on and ublock, fuck off cuck

Download EME-free or unbranded version. The former has no DRM anti-features in addition to not having restrictions like this.

Also, don't be a dickhead and respect Mozilla's reasoning behind this change. Only one in thousands of users actually uses unsigned extensions consciously, most of them just got literal malware.

Im using the EME-Free version, always have, still blocks this shit out, try for yourself

>>55882909
also I respect the reasoning but holy shit they straight up block the option to disable it even though it's in the about:config which btw no normie ever goes into about:config or knows of it's existance so this is literally Mozilla being restrictive, it's tyranny.

>>55882989
I'll quote Mozilla. Perhaps not perfectly accurate, but enough to get the point.

TL;DR: this is for your safety, you can still disable it if you're willing to take the responsibility.

"... nothing stops the malicious software from changing the corresponding about:config value and claiming they're innocent because the user didn't untick a tiny gray checkbox on page 38 of their EULA. By hard-coding the value, we make it so that such applications would have to do the blatant malware step of replacing the Firefox executable."

>you're

are amerifats this retarded?

Boohoo, cry me a river.

>>55884253
Most of us are.

Pale Meme is always looking for contributors.

>disable about:config
alright guess I'm finally uninstalling

>>55882953
Switch to one of the dozen channels that allow unsigned extensions then faggot.
>ESR
>Unbranded Stable
>Unbranded Beta
>Developer Edition (Aurora)
>Nightly

It's not that fucking hard.

You realize this change would be pointless if they kept the about:config toggle right?
The malware would just flip its value along with installing the botnet extension.
It HAD to be done this way unfortunately.

Try out Chromium!

Good goyium.

>>55886216
there are stuff I have to change in about:config every damn time I install firefox that I have to do to use the browser

taking that away pretty much makes the browser useless to me

>>55883098
That's absolutely stupid. Like always.

>>55882628
I'm using the old pocket extension.
This made it actually usable.
Faggots stopped developing it and integrated it into firefox.
Web interface sucks balls.
Old extension was still usable although unsigned.
After this it won't be useable.
Good extensions like Downthemall wont be useable when they change the extension mechanisms.

Wtf, Mozilla!?

See >>55886182

There are plenty of solutions for people who must use unsigned extensions.
But for regular users, the only way of preventing malicious extensions is to remove the about:config as well.

Otherwise it's just like locking your door but leaving the key in.

>>55886368
about:config still works dumbfuck, just that setting is hardcoded

>>55884774
We still love you
Pls don't bomb us

>>55886368
Holy shit, you are a complete fucking idiot. They removed the toggle, not about:config.

you really should be embracing the chink botnet by now. taking the yellow pill was the best thing i have done. i have 20+ xiaomi products in my house all communicating wirelessly and sending information back to the homeland. feels good.
