svg.disabled->true = youtube missing controls FF53+

[ZongMan]

Do you know what section in the user.js would cause the player controls YouTube to break or become missing>

/* 2671: disable in-content SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) (FF53+)

• [WARNING] SVG is fairly common (~15% of the top 10K sites), so will cause some breakage
• [1] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1216893 ***/
  user_pref("svg.disabled", true); set to false fixes it.
  END

Thank you for the report

@ZongMan, but I have user_pref("svg.disabled", true); and I can't reproduce your problem. Here everything is OK.
Are you sure there is not some other extension you are using that blocks those icon and enabling svg just resolves your specific configuration problem?
I am using FF 52.0.2 x64

@crssi that pref is only doing something in FF53+

[crssi]

OK @earthlng but @ZongMan didn't say nothing about the version of FF he is using.

Sorry for the confusion this all occurs on FirefoxDev 54 .oa2 portable 64-bit clean install and my nodded user.is install its installed a 64gb Sandisk cruiser glide. I'm sure you can even try it for yourself right now just get it from the portable apps website and install. Switch that one pref and you will get my problem. Maybe its just me then and my user.js config? Funny it all worked up until the 30th of last month.

Just tested in FF55 nightly and can confirm svg.disabled=true breaks youtube

https://github.com/earthlng I thought as much i wasn't going crazy was i man......

Another thing that i just noticed is the team over at portable apps combined there 32-bit and 64-bit apps into one install???? Why they did this i dont know but i dont like it. It just makes more Firefox processes and its rather annoying AND there is no way to use a older version of FFDev portable either, i read a post that says once a new version of "ffdev and only dev" comes out they delete the old one. Ive tested this because i horde Firefox installs of any kind for testing purposes. :/

older versions are still there but they're "online" installers and idk if the older versions download and install older versions of FF or if it's always the latest DevEdition. It's the same for nightly portable btw.

https://imgur.com/a/RMTyT they dont install even with Admin privileges tested on FirefoxPortableDeveloper_53.0_Alpha_2_English_online.paf . Its cool knew it wouldn't but just to test it.
From the Portable Apps forum http://portableapps.com/node/55939 Explains this well.

So i guess you will be adding a notation to the master user.js about main issue though for the SVG pref.
We can button this thread up now, we know what issue i was having and how to solve it. Thanks for your support and getting back to me even after i closed the thread sorry i wasn't more specific from the get.

ok, thanks for the infos. maybe the dev edition is special. the nightly portable setup I tested, downloads
archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-central/firefox-55.0a1.en-US.win32.installer.exe +
archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/nightly/latest-mozilla-central/firefox-55.0a1.en-US.win64.installer.exe
into a randomly named subfolder of the temp directory (with some other portable-specific stuff, so easy to find) fe. nsdABC1.tmp/Downloaded for the 32bit and /Downloaded-2 for the 64bit.
So I assumed it may be possible to put the files in manually but the archive.mozilla.org/pub doesn't list any DevEdition so maybe this would only work for nightly portable-app "online" setups.

or you could try to copy out the setups after download but before deletion and store them together with your older portable devedition setups.
