The older forum software that MacRumors used to use was great on any device, even dating back to Mac OS 9 with Classilla. The newer software, Xenforo, is much heavier but still performs reasonably well on PPC Macs aside from the rich text editor. While it can be disabled, it does limit the functionality when posting unlike the old software.
So I've installed uMatrix as a replacement for ad block and bluehell. Does anyone know how to set it up to show pictures from photobucket? Safari works fine. I've had some success changing the referrer setting in TFF, but it still loves to redirect somehow and load all kinds of crap except a picture...
Sure, so for example if I try to load this URL:
http://i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv29/KevinRohrer/Reloading/IMG_2118.jpg
It redirects to:
http://s666.photobucket.com/user/KevinRohrer/media/Reloading/IMG_2118.jpg.html
And shows this:
When this is what I want it to show:
[doublepost=1482851442][/doublepost]If I put the first URL into safari it works. If I make a local file called photobucketSucks.html and put:
<img src="http://i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv29/KevinRohrer/Reloading/IMG_2118.jpg">
and load that with TFF it will show the picture, but then I still can't save it if I want. Loading safari just to look at a picture seems like a big pita. Any help appreciated!
Try blocking the two CSS blocks for Photobucket you have there and see what happens.Sure, so for example if I try to load this URL:
http://i666.photobucket.com/albums/vv29/KevinRohrer/Reloading/IMG_2118.jpg
It redirects to:

This looks like it tries to make things work right, but it doesn't work for me:

Maybe I have to take off uMatrix so photosuckit can load all kinds of crap, then this script can pick out the picture?

Ok, I love TFF but it is painfully slow, even on my higher end G4s (1.67 PB and 1.25 iMac). I saw all of the stuff OP posted, but it is seriously gibberish to me.
Is there an "easy" way to apply all of these changes? It seems to me, even if I could understand most of what was being said, it would still take a couple hours for me to setup.
Am I over thinking this? I really want to make these tweaks, however, I don't think I have the know how. Too bad as most people tend to agree that it is a far better experience once they are applied...

If you don't want to be digging around in about:config, try this addon (first link in first post): Speedy Fox. This will give you most of the speed tweaks.
I would avoid Ghostery and anything that has "AdBlock" in the name. Use uMatrix and BluHell Firewall.
Somewhere in this thread there is a prefs.js file that has all of the changes Erik made, I can upload that file if you can't find it. All you have to do is replace the prefs.js file in the user folder of TFF with the one Erik made.
Is there a tweak for lowering the zoom (magnification) one step in the browser? As in not having to go to the menu for View-->Zoom Out all the time... For some reason web pages are larger than I would like on my G3 iBook. Monitor resolution is maxed out of course at 1024x768. Or maybe there's a monitor resolution hack?
CMD+- to zoom out. CMD+= to zoom in.
CMD+0 to reset zoom to 100%.
No tweak needed, it's hard coded into the browser.
Nope. No issue with that. I have mine set to 100% only. My Magic Mouse has a bad habit of zooming when i didn't tell it to.
Similarly I'd like to set the zoom on a single tab - but like your persistent request, we are both out of luck.
There is this…https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/zoom-page/
Also, the following will detach zoom from a specific domain allowing you to zoom in one tab of a domain while maintaining the same zoom percentage in other tabs.
browser.zoom.siteSpecific false
The default is set to true.
