Edge seemed alright when I used it to check something once. Sure as shit nicer than the later versions of IE.
I'm just glad that we're at the point that even normal people are using Firefox or Chrome rather than IE7/8 with dozens of toolbars.

Exactly that. Setting browser.urlbar.unifiedcomplete to false used to disable a number of modifications on the awesome bar. That setting no longer works, you now need to use an extension to restore the previous functionality and style.

>>55907574
The changes have taken place during the last few versions, so the people who really noticed were the ones that had that setting disabled from the start

- Firefox sometimes suggests sites to visit that have nothing to do with what you're typing. In the past, disabling the unified awesome bar fixed it.
- You generally get a lot more suggestions depending on your search engines
- The first entry shows up as either a search or a visit suggestion, which would be the default action when pressing enter.
- You are limited on the number of entries that show up, which is further limited by the various switch/search/visit entries that show up

The cosmetic changes vary from simply annoying to mildly infuriating, depending on how much you use the address bar as a history quick search.

>>55907633
it works for me. but i have it set to display 100 items so.. by default there's like 10 or 15..

>>55907696
>- The first entry shows up as either a search or a visit suggestion, which would be the default action when pressing enter.
I have to agree with this.
Are there no settings to change this behavior other than that one?

>>55907696
>- You are limited on the number of entries that show up, which is further limited by the various switch/search/visit entries that show up
no, you can change the amount of results returned in about:config. I have it set to 100 and have scroll

browser.urlbar.maxRichResults
browser.sessionhistory.max_entries
browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo
browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo
browser.urlbar.unifiedcomplete

play with these

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1291175
>I accept your opinion, but it's an opinion. We spent time working on improving the awesomebar and we think we did. You don't like what we did, that's fine, we accept your opinion, but we are not going to throw away all the work just because of that. Especially if there is no suggestions on how to improve things apart from "revert everything".

ayy

>>55907736
Yes, do what >>55907194 suggests to restore functionality.

>>55907740
Yes, but my point was that the default limit of items decreased compared to previous versions, AND you now get extra items taking place on this already limited space. You can set whatever amount of items you want, just like you can restore two-line functionality and remove the extra entries.

>>55907792
Honestly "revert everything" would solve all of Firefox's problems if they iterated it enough times.

I think that the old Opera knockoff UI was the high point. Half the reason I use the Nightly update channel is because the theme is much more compact and lets me pretend that it isn't a Chrome knockoff.
It being the first with x64 support didn't hurt.

shiit

I think this change broke the Oldbar add-on. now it keeps suggesting "moz-action:searchengine,{ ..." crap whenever I type stuff into the address bar

any clue how to fix this?

Do people that use backspace to go to the previous page really exist?

I mean, if I have a hand on the mouse, I can just click the "back" button, and if both hands are on my keyboard, I can just move my left hand thumb to alt and my right hand to the arrow keys. Is it always the same guy that bitches about the backspace thing in chrome or something?

i've used firefox for a very long time

i like the freedom and resonable memory footprint

i love addons and customizability

i hate the design decisions and some other controversial decisions that firefox developers have made in every new release

don't get me wrong there are a lot of good
updates, but still,
for firefox to look like poohole and getting worse every release wants me to use something else

the fack that firefox uses a native or GTK3 file picker/save dialog isn't helping either

i don't like chrome/chromium/vivaldi/opera whatever

using icecat, ESR(or tor) is only a short-term solution as they will be updated later some time

i olso am not willing to try palemoon/waterfox etc, i bet they'll get updated in the future as well

as a KDE user a good option would be to use konqeror

i'd forgive the poor performance of konqeror only if it had 2 things

1: an addon like ublock, which has good performance and allows to use custom filter lists

at the moment konqeror has a basic adblocker and some hardcoded filter lists
with and ability to add custom filters as php files

that is not good enough for me

2: something like greasemonkey to run ccd0 4chan x on

konqeror has 1 good thing that i really like, a dolphin-like KDE save/open file dialog

i remember SUSE used to have somtehing like that for firefox but that was more of an hack

anyone have suggestions for an alternate browser?

What's wrong with the address bar? I'm on Dev Edition and I didn't have a problem with it when it changed a couple months ago.

Dev Edition just hit 50 and I've noticed a few of my addons now exhibit wonky behavior.

I'd really like to hear the reasoning behind this shit.
Probably just going with the trend of taking control away from the people and trying to herd them into eventually buying all of their extensions from some fucking store.
Guess it's rollback time for me.

>>55932663
This change is theoretically good because it'll prevent retards having extensions added by malware (look at the Classic Shell fiasco. people skipped the warning that the signature was invalid and installed a hacked version that deleted they partition table).

However, the only people still using Firefox today are smart enough to avoid that. They are going kamikaze on their user base. Fuck Mozilla.

I use CTR + FT Deep Dark, so there's no change for me.

As long as I can use addons, I'll use FF.

When Mozilla removes that, I can only hope Vivaldi or another browser will be a good substitute.

Just thinking that you believe that makes me smile.

Nightly just pulled this Bullshit, you can no longer use the tab key to switch to the next result, the tab key changes the search engine. Just fuck up my browser senpai

either make an addon or wait a few days and someone will make one to bring back the old address bar.
not optimal but that's been my solution to every firefox "improvement" over the past 4 years.

I don't care about those interface changes, I'm usually able to revert them to suit my tastes.

However, the buggy behaviour, the increased CPU usage and shit like this is making me really, really consider switching to Chromium.

You can only select whats in the drop down menu. Any search engines you add to Opera can only be accessed by a special keyword typed before whatever you are searching. Unacceptable.

Yeah, sometimes browsing 4chan becomes impossible. 1+ sec lag on every action.

>>55937092
Huh, never noticed. But it's not "impossible",
