Thank you!

What is the setting in about:config to opt out of this?

I didn't see any relevant surviving quotations elsewhere in the pinned post, and I'm not going to go through a whole community looking.

Looking at feddit.org's homepage now, it has this rule:

"Content that is illegal in Germany, Austria or Switzerland will be deleted and can lead to an immediate ban of the account." (emphasis mine)

I am totally ignorant of how German law applies to social media hosted in Austria and moderated by Germans, but the intent to not host content illegal in Germany seems clear and a clear motivation for their censorship. I also can't evaluate the quality of their censorship because I'm not familiar with the requirements of German law.

I wish some of those comments “just expressing dissatisfaction and questioning the policy” had survived, because without them it's your word against theirs. :(

SJW here has similar policies to feddit.org. If it's illegal in Canada, it can't be hosted here, even if it's legal in your country of residence.

Are there any comments that were "just expressing dissatisfaction and questioning the policy" that survived in the modlog? It's got a lot of users banned without a record of the comment.

Mononoke came to mind although there probably is a better one.

I've been using vertical tabs for a while now. It rearranges your address bar and that's going to take some time and annoyance to sort out, but I've got it back to where I like it.

Vertical tabs aren't as great as they would have been ten years ago. So many websites nowadays use a two- or three-column layout to use the excess horizontal space on a normal screen, and having the vertical tabs showing full length often compresses those. Thankfully there's a button to switch between full-length tabs and just the favicon for those sites.

I haven't watched them, but I've heard little but good about Twelve Kingdoms, Magic Knights Rayearth, and El-Hazard.

I have often had to go into about:config to revert unwanted new behavior, but never had to downgrade.

There is a possible fix!

• Go to "about:config" in the adress bar
• Search for "browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.newtabLayouts.variant"
• Toggle both entries for variant-a and variant-b to false

Variant-B was "true" for me.

I've found another bug or design issue. In vertical tab mode, a "flexible space" is forced into the toolbar to shorten the address bar and it cannot be removed. I had a longer address bar before turning vertical tabs on and it is very noticeable in a few situations.

Edit: The excess space can be suppressed by turning the title bar on. Very buggy.

Thank you!
