Firefox general

Using NoScript, how should I deal with jquery.com?

It's necessary for some sites whom I trust to function. But should I whitelist it permanently? Is this safe practise?

Anyone have a good theme for me? I hate these compact themes and their blue tabs. The standard theme is even more ugly.

I was going to make a new thread but I will use this one instead

So is FF Quantum just a re-brand of Stable Firefox or it is an entirely a new channel like beta and nightly?

Not really a rebrand, but it will replace current Firefox.

so a rebrand.
thanks

It's just a name to highlight the major improvements. Similar to Ubuntu or Android versions (Trusty Tahr, Nougat)
You can download a special beta version if you want to try it out now (your picture)

Sir the Firefox Browser is a really bad browser. I kindly recommend you Microsofts Edge Browser. Very fast and very stable.

How's the RAM usage on latest versions of FF?

Actually is there a good comparison of RAM usage across different browsers somewhere?

>jquery.com
I rarely see jquery.com used directly, usually it is grabbed on a CDN and nor safety I use Decentraleyes decentraleyes.org/

About 1GB with 4 open tabs and playing YT video on 1 tab.

How does it scale though? Chrome is not bad with 4 tabs open, but with 50+ it makes any machine unusable after a while.

>50 tabs

you can close tabs for a reasen you brain

FF is faster than chrome desu. I have both installed as you can see. Both are developer versions.

The fuck are you on about? Beta/preview version, call it however you want.
I know about Decentraleyes.

Let me get this right. Jquery is a library that allows the execution of Javascript code. So even Decentraleyes won't prevent attackers from executing malicious code.

Is this correct?

>NoScript
Is the new nightly the same version as Quantum beta? What are the differences except ofc the fact that they are nightlies.

So you can't use Firefox ESR and Firefox Quantum at the same time?

Any advice?

You have at least two options:
a) look for portable versions (there is one for ESR, not sure about Quantum)
b) install them in different locations and use shortcuts for both

Also definitely read this:

wrong post

jquery is a javascript library. just enabling jquery will only inject the jquery library into a page, which doesn't have any other side-effect

but if a site can *use* jquery, then it can use js (and vice-versa)

Not really. Jquery allows you add functionality to a webpage. It use javascript; it's written in javascript. It shares that role with several other popular javascript libraries. They're very prevalent and so can represent a lot of web traffic. People (?) have stepped into the breach and provide hosting for these libraries. They're known as cdn s, for content delivery networks. They give you fast access to code like jquery which is constantly being used. Saves the web page or a slower server hosting it. Down side is that it gives opportunities for tracking I guess.
