Desperately running out of disk space, acquire new 4 TB hdd.
Because my primary machine (730x) already has an ssd, a good old hdd which maximizes on space and not on speed is just fine.

Disk working fine with just iTunes data on there.
Slowly been copying data over (and checking CRCs) to fill the disk, finally hit limit, seems fine. Deleting fill data, and going to gradually starting moving in data from the smaller disks.
Just notice recycling bin is on for this disk. It's been so long since I had to change that setting, I forgot about doing it on this disk and my new SSD. How to get to Recycling Bin settings, since I hid it on the desktop years ago... after a few minutes searching I just turn it back on briefly, just easier that way. Make sure all disks set to delete immediately (but I still want Display delete confirmation dialog), empty recycle bin, hide it, done.

Finally got all podcasts media on there (413 GB).

webm stopped working in Firefox
Webm files won't play properly in Firefox anymore. Tested the same links in Chrome and they play fine.
Some webm (webms? webm's?) will only play a small duration, about 10%, some don't open at all.
Firefox is set to auto-update, has extensions Greasemonkey, NoScript, and uBlock Origin (and a few others, like Enhanced Middle Click and LastPass) , and the script 4chan X (I only read it for the articles, I swear).
I find a webm that works fine in Chrome for testing.
If I disable Greasemonkey (which takes out 4chan X), restart Firefox, the webm plays now (with sound, too).
Enable Greasemonkey, but leave 4chan X off, restart. Webm is good, audio and video.
Now enable 4chan X, restart. Webm only plays a few seconds then halts. Progress bar only goes about 1/4 the length of the video; you can't skip ahead. Refresh the page: Video format or MIME type is not supported.
Currently using 4chan X 1.13.8.6, v1.13.9.3 was just released.
Open https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ccd0/4chan-x/1.13.9.2/builds/4chan-X-noupdate.user.js
(ends in 2 not 3?, installing anyway)
Close, restart. Confirm script version, and that its running. Open that same test webm. Same problem.
2017.11.20
Mostly just worked around above problems.
Firefox Quantum (57.0) installed, not sure if its coincidence but LastPass won't remember its password anymore, even if boxes checked.
Checking other extensions... Greasemonkey is active, No user scripts installed. uBlock Origin seems fine. Extensions that don't 'meet current Firefox standards' are Enhanced Middle Click and NoScript.

"2017-11-14: We're working hard to make NoScript for Quantum available to you as soon as possible, definitely by the end of this week."
I'll just have to be extra careful til then.

restart
Not a lot of users or reviews... but seems OK.
https://github.com/ccd0/4chan-x
https://www.4chan-x.net/
Release 4chan X v1.13.14.10.
restart
not installed?
disable uBlock, try again, no.
disable all extensions but Greasemonkey, restart (not sure if I need to, but why take a chance). disable themes too. and remove legacy extensions (Enhanced Middle Click, NoScript). keep media plugins.
https://www.4chan-x.net/builds/4chan-X.user.js
goes to a blank page
try a clean profile.
run firefox.exe -p
create 'test 4chan-x' (allow default loc \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla...)
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/
install
https://www.4chan-x.net/builds/4chan-X.user.js
install
goes back to https://www.4chan-x.net/ immediately (as if I had hit back button).
close + restart
under Greasemonkey icon, 4chan X is now listed! test on 4chan.net, seems to be working.
install uBlock. script still works.
now what? prob just start a new profile, import bookmarks, delete old.
2017.11.22
NoScript for new FireFox is out.
2017.12.01
Having trouble loading some sites, can't figure out if its uBlock or NoScript at fault.

Export FF bookmarks.
firefox.exe -profilemanager
Delete profiles
Create profile
Choose folder (not in C:\Users\{Z}\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles)
Tools -> Add-ons. Greasemonkey.
https://www.4chan-x.net/builds/4chan-X.user.js
close. start.
under Greasemonkey tab exists 4chan X.click it, says Enabled.
go 4chan, preferences pops up.
check my settings at {\personal\software\win32\comm\Firefox\extension\4chanX\ccd0}... i'll just leave default for now.
desktop notificiations... authorize, for now. Allow. Just trying all defaults to start.

close. start.

Greasemonkey+4chanX seem to be working just fine.
Firefox Customize -> Toolbars click Menu and Bookmarks
Bookmarks -> Show all, Import and Backup -> Restore
(just going with this now, add more later)
2018.01.10
Its still behaving, add LastPass
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lastpass-password-manager/
Reviews are mixed on the new Firefox, but this is the password manager blessed by Security Now, and it has pre internet encryption so going with this one.
I'm going with remember email and remember password for now, because no one else has access to this computer physically, and as far as I know its safe online, unless I hear otherwise.
Tools -> Options -> Privacy & Security. Uncheck Remember logins and passwords for websites
While I'm here.... uncheck Firefox Data Collection and Use.
Close FF, reopen. LastPass auto logged in, OK.
