1. Shift+F2 opens a CLI at the bottom of the page.

2. Type "s". It should autocomplete to "screenshot".

3. Then TAB.

4. Type "--f". It should autocomplete to "--fullpage".

5. TAB again and give a filename.

The *.png can be printed. Gives the full page for a web page but only
what is visible on the screen for about:config.

I guess I didn't make myself clear: by print I meant print the
information text to the PDF queue, and not just a picture of the
information. The former means I can search/sort/filter it etc,
again at leisure.

BTW I think I'm a little ahead of you here. I press the single
keystroke AltL-F11 for a window/root screenshot (with scrot).
However, in view of the number of pages, it's easier to press
Shift-AltL-F12 to start a video capture and then scroll through
the pages. On replaying it, I can use Pause to read it. But it's
not the same.

Cheers,
David.

Which "pdf queue" is it you are talking about? There isn't one on
Debian.

Sort it out whichever way you want. If this fulfils your objective of
"..print out the about:config page so tht it can be perused at leisure."
then take it.

I have nothing more to contribute.

The one that's the target of
ii printer-driver-cups-pdf 2.6.1-22 amd64 printer driver for PDF writing via CUPS
99% of what I "print" on FF goes to PDF files rather than actually
applying any ink to paper.

Not really, as I stated.

> I have nothing more to contribute.

Understood. Perhaps not one other person has ever wished to put the
contents of about:config into a text file, which may be why mozilla
make it near impossible to do. But if there is one other such person,
perhaps they know of a workaround. That person doesn't have to be you.

Cheers,
David.

Bless your heart for going to all that trouble.  I sure didn't need to 
see all your firmware, dear.  You remind me of my elderly Aunt who always 
responds to every question with a 30 min story about feeding ducks.

Trouble? It's just two lines of shell, using apt-cache, dpkg-query,
grep, sed and sort; the kind of thing any sysadmin could rustle up in
a couple of minutes, and then stick in a bash function (as I did,
many moons ago).

Firmware is just what happens to dominate the list which was generated
automatically (as mentioned above). I've installed one package of user
software from non-free, and its appearance there seems to be caused by
some details of its licence. I've installed one ancient (squeeze)
package, xtoolwait, and one more up-to-date (buster) version of the
youtube-dl package, without which I've found it impossible to download
a good proportion of internet videos.

I posted the list to demonstrate that I'm not being economical with
the truth about having no non-free/contrib packages supporting FF.
Thus there's no reason to move FF out of the "main" distribution.

However, the rude attitude you show here is indicative of problems
stretching far beyond technical discussions of Debian.

Cheers,
David.

Well packages in main should not rely on contrib or non-free?  If you need
non-free or contrib to run firefox-esr on stretch to do your important 
work, then that is my point.  You hack it with a hosts file, okay that 
doesn;t count as a pkg, but the default pkg is a piece of insecure 
garbage,.
  
You posted your use of non-free pkgs to rebut this? wtf?

Are we discussing FF and its dependencies, or have we moved on to the
topic of firmware needed to support the hardware that I've inherited
for running Debian on?

But I can't really debate points with someone who writes bald
statements like "the default pkg is a piece of insecure garbage";
sorry.

Cheers,
David.

Install an extension built for webextensions such as Adblock Plus 3.0 or 
later using Firefox Add-ons Manager?:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/

I see that there is a webext-ublock-origin for sid but I have never used it:
https://packages.debian.org/sid/web/webext-ublock-origin

Ah, that's easy. Turns out that stretch is perfectly capable of
running software that the Debian Project does not package, and I
would argue that trying to keep a firefox-esr running is not the
right thing to do. Firefox just isn't ready for the Debian
definition of stable.

The Debian volunteers working on Firefox would be better serving
the community if they were only spending a few minutes packaging
up each major-number release from Mozilla, and putting the rest
of the time towards looking for security problems in it. 

There may well be a use for a "stable" web browser, but Firefox
can't be that one.

I'm running FF 60.2.2esr and displaying some ancient html (2001) with
static pages containing text and photos. Top shows "firefox-esr"
(7932) most of the time, "Web content" (7988) infrequently, and
"file:// Content" (8026) perhaps a little more often (it's difficult
to judge). These processes pop up almost regardless of when I click to
add another tab to the collection that are open.

ps ax   shows the following list of processes:

 7932 pts/17   Sl     0:33 firefox-esr file:///home/david/…the index page….html
 7988 pts/17   Sl     0:02 /usr/lib/firefox-esr/firefox-esr -contentproc -childID 1 -isForBrowser -intPrefs 235:1| -boolPrefs 36:1|261:1|301:0| -stringPrefs 2
 8026 pts/17   Sl     0:07 /usr/lib/firefox-esr/firefox-esr -contentproc -childID 2 -isForBrowser -intPrefs 235:1| -boolPrefs 36:1|261:1|301:0| -stringPrefs 2
 8095 pts/17   Sl     0:00 /usr/lib/firefox-esr/firefox-esr -contentproc -childID 3 -isForBrowser -intPrefs 235:1| -boolPrefs 36:1|261:1|301:0| -stringPrefs 2

I've not observed 8095 in top at all. There's no java/css or anything
like that. I did notice that if I hold down Ctrl-PageUp (ie circulate
through tabs), 7932 and 8026 stay firm at the top of top.

When I close all the tabs and leave open just the Mozilla Firefox
start page that displays the one-inch icons of sites I visit,
PID 8026 disappears, and it's easy to see that 7988 (Web content)
is processing the icons as I move the mouse over them.

I would understand your writing the last sentence with the word
"secure" (though I would wish to know which insecurities you're
troubled by), but not as written here with "stable". I'm finding
stretch's FF Quantum very stable so far. Is this because I don't
use a DE, perhaps?


Cheers,
David.

In the sense of "stable" as Debian "stable": for a period of
around 2-3 years, the software at the beginning is about the
same as the software at the end, modulo security fixes.

Firefox and Chrom[e|ium] are changing too rapidly for that to make
sense, in my opinion. Mozilla's own ESR program doesn't even
qualify, as they only maintain the release for "more than a
year".

Thanks for vocalizing (textalizing?) something that maybe should have been 
obvious (to me) but wasn't!

I use ublock origin (installed from firefox addons "store" not from 
debian package webext-ublock-origin).

I will tried to use webext-ublock-origin instead and keep you informed.

Then lack of RAM is not the problem . . .

Based on other responses, we know what "web content" in Top
constitutes. I wish they would have unique names instead of just "web
content."  Would make things easier.  Someone said your slowness
problems is caused by library, etc. incompatibility.  I was
wondering . . .

You said you're running Firefox 62.0.3, IIRC. Did you install this
from Sid's repo or download directly from Mozilla?  I downloaded
Firefox Quantum 62.0.3 from Mozilla (tar.gz file) and installed it
manually.  Quantum isn't in the Stretch repo.  I just copied the
entire firefox directory to /opt.  (FYI: I run only Openbox with a
single LXPanel with menu.)  If you haven't done this, maybe, give it a
try. The binary has to be very generic as it's designed to run on
various versions of Linux not just Debian. Maybe, it will be more
compatible.

Try killing xfsettingsd, that helps according to
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=909818#15.

Thanks!

I can confirm killing xfsettingsd fixes the issue (but Xfce is not
really usable after that).

I have launch again xfsettings with the debug option and use firefox, I
have the following messages related to fontconfig.

Seeing its Sid it's probably a library missmatch.
