Not OP but here's one use case. I use FF as a PDF reader, it's faster than Nitro and Adobe opening files and searching within. When I have a 600+ page Admin Guide open scrolling is prohibitive. When I do a text search FF puts location indicators in the scroll bar. A larger scrollbar is better visually and easier to interact with.

Also, what kind of psycho uses a touch screen on a desktop computer?

Thanks. I tried with this setting for a couple of days.

This just loads HD by viewing the image. I'm talking about something that will keep the image low res unless you manually zoom in. I don't need hd memes and comics most of the time. It should only download HD with a manual zoom with Pinch, double tap, or tap and swipe.

 

Hopefully this is a simple request.

Give us a setting to enable HD on Zoom. Once enabled, when a low res image is zoomed in, boost will automatically switch to HD.

This would allow us to choose which images are downloaded in HD. It would help speed up image preloading and save on overall data usage.

Thanks for reading.

I'll give them props for the scans, those are cool. But c'mon, this fanboi is comparing specs of a thunderbolt 4 pro cable to a USB 2 from 1996. Granted, not much changes except speed and capacity but those two things take up a big part of this op-ed.

The whole point, as I get it, is that those fancy cables are proprietary. The tech and circuitry embedded in the TB4 cables should be in the charger, phone, computer, etc. A cable should just be a cable.

Have you heard about decrapify? I highly recommend it for all new Win10 installs.

MS Indexing is terrible. It's only saving grace is that it scans inside Outlook. If you want a fast search and instant results try Everything by VoidTools com.

After reading this I decided to try it out. Within 5 posts there were ads. No thanks, I'll stick with Connect.

Edit: I was scrolling everything and replied. I didn't see this was in the official community. My opinion doesn't matter in here. I think it's great that sync is successful and I hope it continues. So yea, keep on keeping on.

My wife and I treated ourselves last year. She stands all the time. I think I've stood once in the time I've owned it. That said, I still feel it was worth it. I'm 6-1 if that means anything and I do adjust the height often as my posture changes. I think it's helped with back pain quite a lot. One thing I didn't expect was how little it takes to be out of alignment. Like, sometimes a 1/2 inch adjustment takes me from ugh this isn't right to ahhh, perfect.

I'd buy one again if I had a do over.

One that uses Firefox with ublock origin for the internal browser. Coming from Relay for Reddit, I find opening external links in the stock chrome browser to be extremely painful.

That's cool it's working as expected. This is a feature request thread, aka, a wish list. I was pointing out that the existing feature you mention is nice but not very helpful.

Long press collapses the text of parent comment as well and does noting for readability. Your options are, hide everything except usernames or scroll every comment and all replies. There's no inbetween. IMO the ability to read and scroll top comments without the child comments would be a really nice feature.
