DISCLAIMER: Some troll of a moderator has blocked the last time i posted this, i am posting exactly the same because i have a question:

WHEN ARE THE FEATURES YOU TOOK FROM US GOING TO BE IMPLEMENTED?

how much time? why you did this?

So this is the problem, i have been using Firefox for way too long it seems, today i updated to 57.0 and EVERYTHING changed, this are all the add-ons i use that are no longer working properly:

- Australis Small Icons - Beyond Australis - Classic Theme Restorer - Classic Toolbar Buttons - DownThemAll! - Element Hiding Helper for AdblockPLus - Google Similar Images - Google Translator for Firefox - Hide Fullscreen Alert - Menu Wizard - NewScrollbars (akaNoiaScrollbars) - NoRedirect - Priv8 - Private Tab - Reload Every - Save Image in Folder - Simple Locale Switcher - Speed Tweaks (SpeedyFox) - Thumbnail Zoom Plus - WIndows Master - Youtube Video and Audio Downloader - YouTube wihout DASH Playback


So as you can see my life is a nightmare right now, THERE IS NO REASON TO USE FIREFOX RIGHT NOW if every single one of this add-ons are not working. Long story short this are the things those addons allowed me to do.

- Multiple screen open in second/first with right click. - Have small icons. - Hide Navigation Bar. - Double right click save picture to set folder. - Have thumbnail ZOOM when hover on pictures. - Downloading things to different files with command. - Having a different search bar than the one that comes with firefox (i Simply don’t like it) - When i close the last tab FIREFOX used to no close but show my custom New Tab.

- I used to be able to load my VPN & PROXY with one single click.

- Change locale with one click (language and location for different websites ending in country .us . uk).

- Change the Firefox MENU, hiding some stuff, adding hotkeys to others.

- Countless features from countless websites that don’t work anymore as they required custom scripts.

So... this is it i guess, i have been using Firefox for a long time now, i put this last list "things i have been used to do" for you to realize that you could include those features in the browser natively, but you won’t because you are a "Busy" company.

What is advantage of using Firefox right now? Vivaldi, Brave, Chrome, all those new browsers work a million time better anyways, Vivaldi allows you to make things SMALL i like things small, Vivaldi allows you to have picture hover, so why should i keep using Firefox.

HOW MUCH TIME IS IT GOING TO TAKE YOU TO ADD THIS FEATURES?? ONE YEAR??

Do you expect me to bug you on the forums until i get a clear answer that you are adding this features??

I freaking hate you Mozilla foundations, i have given money to your dumb education founding before, installed you in my office and other facilities i own, with more than 300 computers, one finger and all of them become Vivaldi.

I Hope NOTHING but a clean answer from you, how much time for you people to add this features natively, I give you 2 weeks. I swear to god this is the worst decision Firefox has done EVER, this is worst than 54 update, this is outrageous you just CLEANED 80% of you addons, what’s next not being able to customize the new tab bar?, what is it EBay going to be my default website when I open?.

Fix ASAP please, i can’t believe that for the sake of running some "security updates" you took basic functionalities that made me use FIREFOX instead of other browsers.

You have no idea why people use Firefox don’t you? ITS BECAUSE OF THE ADDONS, your logo is horrible, your browser menus are horrid, your native options are LAZZY, your browser is not even top 4 fastest, everything feature you push is worthless like "pocket"? wtf is that.

I have uninstalled 57.0 and rolled back, which was a pain because all my addons settings and Bookmarks. The next time you make such a huge and horrible update design a different message “This update is a big one, you might not be able to use 80% of your addons, and there will be an unnecessary grey color in your navigation bar”

Please bring back reason!!! Firefox is going to hell if you don’t do a COMMUNITY FEATURES UPDATE in the next 2 weeks, add everything I placed up there, how can you have a browser that won’t allow hiding the navigation bar? hover pictures for zoom? make icons small? & having quick macros for saving to folder etc. in 2017???, is this all because you want your browser to be small?, then include a install features option in the menus.

Your facked it up BIG time with this update.

I don't know, it depends on the developers of the add-ons.

I hope you don't have to, as I have provided the expectations of each of you addons.

Be BRAVE dont clock the thread again, be brave and if you made a fackup in life be Brave and confront it forward dont "choose" what you answer, ban account or anything of that sort, if you made a mistake be a man MOzilla and at least answer it correctly. Say we are sorry, we know the hurt we made, but dont clock it.

This is a very serious question.

Hi hyfrehyfre, I understand your frustration, and over time many of those capabilities will be available, either as extensions or custom style rules, or maybe someday, as features. However, two weeks is unrealistic for a complete solution and you know it. So hang tight with Firefox 56.0.2 or 52.5.0esr for a few weeks and then check on progress.

Meanwhile, you can find plentiful discussions on sites like Reddit about how other users are replacing their add-ons, and that may help with yours.

OK sorry for the attitude, and thank you for the feedback i am actually pretty much impressed by your answer time and smart contributing. Wish other forums online had people like you, i am no fool I understand security issues are far more important, and i know Firefox been kind of lagging sometimes because this addons are suing memory and methods in ways that are exploitable making it a slow experience compared to competition

Well anyways, thank you for your fast reply and good answer. I just wish you would give us a way to hide the Navigation bar... that’s it i hate having it there and miss my slim look :) thanks to god you can have multiple versions of Firefox installed. Cheers.

Well, it's not hard to hide a toolbar using a custom style rule in a userChrome.css file. What's hard is figuring out how to make it accessible when you want it.

@-moz-document url(chrome://browser/content/browser.xul){
  #nav-bar {  /* hide nav-bar */
    display: none !important;
  }
}

But if you want it to pop down when you hover the tabs, or some similar recipe, it's tricky. The best I could do the last time I worked on it was

@-moz-document url(chrome://browser/content/browser.xul){
  #navigator-toolbox:not(:hover) > #TabsToolbar:not(:hover) + #nav-bar,
  #nav-bar:not(:hover) {  /* hide nav-bar when not hovered */
    display: none !important;
  }
  #navigator-toolbox:hover > #TabsToolbar:hover + #nav-bar,
  #nav-bar:hover {  /* show nav-bar on tab or nav-bar  hover */
    display: -moz-box !important;
  }
}

That pushes down the page when the nav bar appears, it isn't compatible with "spacers" and it makes the bookmarks toolbar unusable. But otherwise, it works!

If you haven't used a userChrome.css file before, I recently created a website to help with that: https://www.userchrome.org/

I fell so bad you people are amazing !!! i just raged beyond my brain I am so sorry !!

Honestly had no idea About quantum thank you so much about that info.

I am very sorry, I have never been treated so good in any other forum in my life this is... overwhelming and honestly refreshing, I hope people that read this or research it realize the quality of service support you people offer... is outstanding, beyond what’s normal, sorry for taking your precious time I would have preferred to be ignored if that meant you people lost time doing any other useful things...I’m so sorry.

I have used Chrome CSS before, and that script is working I just miss that DEV add-on functionality because it’s been here for the las 6 years for me, and now there are some extra 6% of my screen being used by something else, I am sure that from a designer point of view you understand this and probably I am not the only one, please include it as a feature...hiding the navigation bar with some sort of animation.

Also it would be very useful if you people could add a way to add "gestures" or "custom hotkeys" to do several stuff, for instance i used to use Menu Wizard with Image save to press right click an image and save it to a folder... i know it sounds dumb but I collect a lot of pictures all day long for my job and it was very useful, it actually is like a maing reason why I use Firefox and why I have 56 installed even knowing there are security problems with it. I work at a magazine that does events publications and my boss ask me for TONS of pictures, so i used to go to Facebook, twitter & other local websites double right click and done, it was saved to a previous selected folder... now i have been doing this today before installing 56 by pressing (right click, "v" + ENTER) does almost the same but it was amazing to save content with souble right click.

No more to say, i fell so dumb never used the "compact" feature in the customize, I installed add-ons for this for YEARS not knowing that was there… if I where just able to hide my navigation bar... that would be awesome. Hiding the navigation bar is important for me because I normally use it with YouTube “fit to screen” for presentations, the same reason why I used to use all those “nokia” add-ons, that allowed me having a thinner scroll bar, but compact looks good enough now. Believe or not in presentations when I HDMI people don’t realize the video is not full screen when is fit to screen with navigation bar hidden so it was really cool honestly, something nice to have if it’s possible please make it native, study the “australis” add-on I used for this. Also I think that reverse search image should also be a native feature of Firefox to this point, everybody use it, the same goes for “translate website”.

The one thing that really annoys me still is the impossibility of being able to “send” tabs to the Firefox screen I have open in my first monitor, that is what Windows Master was about, and I am sure there is a big percentage of people that used it as it was a popular addon. Please again, make it native, is not a big deal but it was so nice to right click videos in the second or third screen and make them open on the first screen. I am 100% sure you can understand this is so a 2017 feature to have.

Also please improve your downloading options, again similar to the request about “double right click save image” make it so we can right click and save stuff to folders in the Operative System. Maybe when you get the “Download menu” to save as… etc, maybe we can have places there, like pre-saved locations etc, would make my life so EASY you have no idea., I have folder like 2017-family-daugther etc, then I receive a new email from my wife and I have to open a windows and navigate to the folder, but it would be awesome if you either “remember” or lets usa save some default locations with 2 clicks “one click for opening the download windows “ and a second click “to quick download in some pre-saved place”.

thank you so much and the way guigs & jscher2000 is really showing us how to use and offer forums, not even Microsoft is so fast and precise at this, thank you so much.
