Wouldn’t it be nice if documentation used the words index and offset consistently?

Does Thunderbird still belong to Mozilla? I thought they’d dumped it.

Ah wow. You’re right. Guess I never noticed that on mobile. I always set that option on FF desktop.

They seriously think I would want to donate my money when their useless leadership is getting paid millions. Out of their fucking tree is what they are. 😆

Ah geez. That’s weird with a beard.

Happened to think of this today and found this site

https://mylocation.org/

Scroll down to the Browser Geolocation section, expand it, and click Start Test. It prompted me as expected and returned the correct data.

If FF isn’t the problem, maybe there’s a recent bug in a commonly used js framework? 🤷‍♂️

FWIW, I checked the pi-hole and there doesn’t appear to be any contemporaneous blocks for my phone when attempting to share location. (I wouldn’t think that would be necessary for location sharing but I’ve been surprised before.)

I also checked to see if Android shows that the location was accessed by the FF app and it does. It’s just not making it to the page for whatever reason.

I’ll report back if I discover anything more.

Something must be broken right now. I noticed this problem recently on the AQI site (link below). Popup does nothing. Going through the lock icon menu can change it from block to allow, but the site still doesn’t get the location.

Do you have a pi-hole? After I set mine up, suddenly YouTube stopped remembering my history until I allowed the right domain. Maybe this is the same sort of problem? I’ll try to check that today.

Hey, sometimes you need to hose out the cruft.

Why yes, I do maintain a legacy application that still stores user files in Program Files in blatent violation of 15 years of Windows best practices and continues to be done contrary to my repeated advice, why do you ask?

I made an effort to learn it. In 2000. Again in 2012 or whenever the last big push was. If past is prologue, I may need to learn it again soon. 😆

On the new clean profile I created in v126.0, I didn’t have a gfx.webrender.enabled and gfx.webrender.all was set to false. Changing gfx.webrender.all to true didn’t really change the behavior. Nvidia control panel only shows super resolution active when full screen. Watching the same test video as yesterday at the same requested resolution. I did notice that if I set the Quality back to auto, with gfx.webrender.all = true, it picked 2 today instead of 1. 🤷‍♂️

Sorry. Should have mentioned. OS is Windows 11 Pro 23H2 22631.3593. Also, video driver is Nvidia Game Ready Driver 552.44.

From my testing today I found that this actually works pretty well (though not in FF haha). See my top level comment this thread.

I set this up today on my work laptop with (internal) RTX3060. According to the status indicators on the Adjust Video Image Settings page in the Nvidia control panel, super resolution is working in Chrome v124.x and v125.x but not at all in Firefox v126.0. My eyes tell me the same thing. I was able to play a 480p YT stream in Chrome and it looked surprisingly good on my external 1440p monitor. In FF it looks like ass. I may set up a secondary profile in FF just to make sure I haven’t changed some config setting over the years that would prevent it from working right in FF. Will update if I find anything interesting.

Edit: Just tried this again with YouTube in FF v126.0 with a clean profile. It does work, but only when the video is full screen (which makes sense I guess, but the behavior is different from Chrome) and I had to manually set the quality level in the Nvidia control panel. In Chrome the auto setting used level 4 (the highest level), but in FF the auto setting only used level 1.

I’ve threatened more than once that I was going to quit and take up potato farming. Potatoes are good. 👍

Don’t stop I’m almost there. 😆

Ah very nice ty ty. I will fix.

Ah my bad. Still learning. I thought that notation would let the top poster know that I mentioned him.

Yeah, wow. How did I not know this? Thanks @NateNate60@lemmy.world.

Edit: Fixed mention

I like the joke but I suspect the levels for “young programmer”, “adult programmer”, and “old programmer” would all look a lot like “programmer”. It’s true at least in my case. The occupation does seem to attract the more spicy-brained among us. 😆
