Re: [Mozilla Enterprise] Layout options in latest versions of FF

[Emma Humphries]

Hi John,

https://mozilla.github.io/extension-finder/ is a searchable list of popular
add-ons, and their suggested replacements if they haven't migrated to
WebExtensions yet.

As for your other two questions, I'd need to hunt down if there are
enhancement requests under discussion about that.

Re: [Mozilla Enterprise] Crashes and Slowness with recent ESR

[Olivier GONTIER]

Hello,
I'm working on upgrading firefox from 45.1 ESR to 52.6 ESR and i've noticed loading pages problem specially when 
starting firefox.

Making a new profile and restoring bookmarks doesn't resolve the problem 
definitively.
I think it's related to using a profile on a network drive . I saw this 
question about packet size :
https://superuser.com/questions/1271337/firefox-esr-became-very-slow-with-a-network-profile/1278156
Could it be the reason for the problem ? any solutions ?
Best regards
Olivier

I actually meant uncomment the line:

  @import url(./css/tabs/tabs_below_navigation_toolbar.css);

:-)

It looks like you can load these custom css files via an autoconfig cfg 
file - e.g. if you install the 'CustomCSSforFx' contents as the 
subdirectory CustomCSSforFx in your Firefox install directory/folder - 
to use the 'classic' css, add to your autoconfig cfg file:

// start
var ios = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/network/io-service;1"]
.getService(Components.interfaces.nsIIOService);

var sss = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/content/style-sheet-service;1"]
.getService(Components.interfaces.nsIStyleSheetService);

var userChrome = Components.classes["@mozilla.org/file/directory_service;1"]
.getService(Components.interfaces.nsIProperties)
.get("GreD", Components.interfaces.nsIFile);

userChrome.append("CustomCSSforFX");
userChrome.append("classic");

var userContent = userChrome.clone();

userChrome.append("userChrome.css");
userContent.append("userContent.css");

sss.loadAndRegisterSheet(ios.newFileURI(userContent), sss.USER_SHEET);
sss.loadAndRegisterSheet(ios.newFileURI(userChrome), sss.USER_SHEET);
// end

[I'm not a Firefox/javascript programmer - so there may be better ways 
of doing the above ... but it appears to work for me ...]

[Mozilla Enterprise] Enforce Addons to always load/run

[Jeremy Moskowitz]

Chris:

One option is our 3rd party PolicyPak tool.
See video #6 down on this page: 
https://www.policypak.com/products/manage-mozilla-firefox-with-group-policy.html

"Not a commercial" ... just a pointer. You can make your own decisions.

-



We are needing to lock down and manage the deployment and functionality of 
Firefox in our environment.  While I've found quite a bit of information on how 
to manage different settings, including blocking addons from running, I've had 
a hard time finding information on how to force an addon to run and prevent 
users from disabling.  We have two different addons from Mcafee (DLP and 
WebControl) that we need to ensure are running in the browser at all times.  Is 
there a way via config, gpo or some other means, to make this happen?



Thanks in advance,

Chris

Re: [Mozilla Enterprise] css-masking-1 spec not working in ESR version

[Julien Cristau]

Hi Tiago,

actually the feature set is unchanged over the lifetime of an ESR series,
so no new HTML/CSS features make it to ESR52.  The next ESR feature release
will be ESR60.  Changes in ESR52 are restricted to security and major
stability fixes.

Cheers,
Julien

[Mozilla Enterprise] css-masking-1 spec not working in ESR version

[Tiago Marques Delboni]

Hi there!

As I understand it, ESR versions has the same core features when it 
comes to HTML/CSS engine of their "regular" counterpart versions. For 
instance, FF ESR 52.6.0 should match features of FF 58.


However, the implementation of spec "CSS Masking Module Level" 
(https://drafts.fxtf.org/css-masking-1/) seems to work in 58 and not in 
ESR 52.6.0, at least with the Win32 version.


Is this a regression bug or this "mismatch" is supposed to happen for 
some features?


In order to test the issue, check the Example section of the 
"mask-image" property:


https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/mask-image#Example

If a star appears, it is working. If a green square shows up instead, it 
is not.


I've found these related bugs:

- https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1312613 (Core)

There was a thread on this list last month that mentioned a possible 
'replacement' for Classic Theme Restorer see:

  https://mail.mozilla.org/private/enterprise/2018-January/008360.html

I've just tried the 'classic' chrome examples with FF 60.0a1 and it 
looks like you can achieve close to what you want by uncommenting the 
following two lines in the userChrome.css file:

  @import url(./css/tabs/tabs_below_titlebar_above_navigation_toolbar.css);

  @import url(./css/toolbars/toolbar_mode_text.css);
