    Which Firefox Extensions?

    The only one I use currently is video download helper.

    What are your choices and why? Do use adblockers ot tracking blockers and does this have any significant overhead or disadvantages?

    Thanks for your comments!

          Cookie autodelete. Ghostery, Google Translate, Disable Javascript, Adblockplus and disable HTML5 autoplay.

          Using adblockers will speed up your browsing and reduce the risk of a tainted advert compromising your machine. Occasionally I am asked to disable my adblocking to view a webpage but that's one of the reasons I have the disable JS extension.

              Noscript.

              It will give you control over what domains are allowed to execute JavaScript. Some pages will lose functionality, maybe most of them, but you will be aware of the huge number of external sites some pages are linked with. Then you decide which of them you grant access to run JavaScript, either permanently or temporarily, or even you mark them as forbidden. It will require some time until you fine-tune this tool, but on the long run it will give you a better user experience when accessing sites with too intrusive ads.

                  NoScript and uBlock origin for me, and also run firefox with Sandboxie on some sites.

                      Firefox is now SATANIC
                      by Hondaman
                      Now that I have your attention:

                      In the last few days, it looks like Firefox has changed their software terms so they are now evil and WILL sell your data.

                      I already use Palemoon for Win7 sometimes. Looks like I'll be switching to librewolf as well, as Youtuber Louis Rossman suggests. Palemoon still supports Win7, but sometimes pages don't work properly. The Google Chrome browser might also still work for Win7.

                      I will have no choice but to upgrade my Firefox, so that I can copy dozens of tabs into a document or spreadsheet, or go through the history to...

                      Firefox will not display ebay properly.

                      No help on Firefox forum.

                      When I click on a saved ebay bookmark Firefox will display the auction at the bottom of the page not the top plus the page has lots of errors.
                      Below is an example of one of the errors.

                      “Please enter a quantity of $qty_dummy$ or less Please enter a quantity of 1 Purchases are limited to $qty_dummy$ per buyer Please enter quantity of 1 or more Please enter a lower number Choose quantity that is less than $qty_dummy1$ or equal to $qty_dummy$ You can only choose quantity

                      What caused the BSOD?
                      by Gibon378
                      Hello there!
                      I was doing some usual stuff, browsing the internet, listening to music, coding, etc. and my computer froze. It looked like the website couldn't process the request (logging into the account, there was the loading symbol) and it took a few seconds, then my computer totally froze except for the mouse cursor. It lasted for about a minute and I got the BSOD. It happened yesterday and today (just now).

                      I managed to get the MEMORY.DMP content, but I don't really understand it. Could somebody help me?

                      Code:

                      New Design: Helper Board for Video Head Units
                      by ratdude747
                      Over the last several years I've had Android head units in my truck (1995 Ranger), there's been some issues that have always bugged me... or I solved in a less than "ideal" manner. I've designed/ordered PCBs and ordered parts for a board to hopefully fix all of these in a better way, and I'd like to share the design here.

                      Attached is a .zip of the KiCAD files, Schematic, Gerber Files, and BOM from digikey (ok, it's a downloaded excel of my order I placed, close enough...)

                      The issues this board corrects are (and what I currently am doing that sucks):
