Firefox

I found this support forum post but the solution provided doesn't work.

Edit (thanks to @moreeni@lemm.ee for the Stack Exchange link):

Solution - Go to Settings -> Home -> Enable Shortcuts -> Go to a new tab -> Google will be pinned by default, hover over the Google icon -> Click on the 3 dots menu -> Unpin

>The Register has learned from those involved in the browser trade that Apple has limited the development and testing of third-party browser engines to devices physically located in the EU. That requirement adds an additional barrier to anyone planning to develop and support a browser with an alternative engine in the EU.

>It effectively geofences the development team. Browser-makers whose dev teams are located in the US will only be able to work on simulators. While some testing can be done in a simulator, there's no substitute for testing on device – which means developers will have to work within Apple's prescribed geographical boundary.

I find it incredibly disruptive every time this page comes up and it's never completely capable of restoring my tabs. Is there any way to disable it so that it will instead update when I choose to restart Firefox?

Seems like @firefox @mozilla is doing something right

If you got an RTX card and use @firefox you can now get video upscaling on your PC

If I disable uBlock, Deezer loads just fine, despite NextDNS and Pi-Hole doing their thing. Anyone know how to troubleshoot or fix things?

built a new extension for the best start page for firefox - hope yall like it!

Another good reason to like @firefox

⚠️ Firefox’s Enhanced Tracking Protection (Strict Mode) is known to cause issues on x.com

To disable it in about:config browser.search.serpEventTelemetry.enabled = false browser.search.serpEventTelemetryCategorization.enabled = false

I can't find them.

Edit: found it. No idea what the problem was.

When firefox is not in a maximized window, the resolution of the window is very small, and changing the resolution by hand all the time is annoying, so I want to give it a fixed size. How can I do this?

I'm getting an alert that BitWarden needs a new permission on my devices, but can't figure out how to do that, clicking on the alert simply opens Firefox and I can't find anything in settings or add ons, so how does one do this?

To preface:

On the website https://danbooru.donmai.us ever since I ran the firefox profiler for a different issue (I don't think it's related atm, just coincidental) I have been having a serious issue with loading images on all browsers. I've been trying to see if I can figure out the actual cause through firefox to no avail.

What occurs: If I open up an image in another tab, and the image does not finish loading, If I try to open up any other images, or go to the next page of a search, all danbooru sites will hang until the image finisher. This seems to degrade until eventually one will stop loading.

A few times, I've been able to catch this error:

Secure Connection Failed

An error occurred during a connection to danbooru.donmai.us.

``` The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because the authenticity of the received data could not be verified. Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

```

This seems to apply to any image aggregation sites where I can load an image large enough to require loading, as if the image loads instantly, nothing occurs.

What i've been ultimately trying to do is figure out why it's happening. My closest route so far has been that it's in some way related to the TLS handshake, the problem is I can't find anything in the console, network, or debugging that points to the when the image was loaded.

I'm currently running the multiprocess browser console as well, and while it's had a lot of things pop up, none of them refer to the final website of the image, or the script number that shows below it in the src.

So ultimately, I guess what i'm asking:

1. Do you know what would cause websites in the same domain to hang until one finishes loading?

2. What in firefox can see the loading process?

Lastly:

\-I have already re-sync'd the system clock

\-I have already reset the firefox profile, with a complete deletion and reinstall even

\-I tried turning on webGPU, I don't think it's done anything

\-I have not tried messing with the TLS settings because apparently SSL 3.0, 1.0, and 1.1 are supposed to be off

\-I have done numerous DNS tests including a namespace benchmark test to try to make sure the DNS is okay, and did NS lookup to make sure it was actually being used

\-I have used curl to download an image during the hanging, and curl was able to download before the browser completed the process.

\-While extensions are active at the moment, the error originally occurred while I was running the firefox profiler for several days in test mode. Meaning it was also occurring for several days while no extensions were active.

\-The hanging is isolated to the domain that it's occurring on. I can go to other sites while this is going on. Youtube can run during it, and I can load images elsewhere. A speedtest runs at full speed with no ping or latency.

This isn't entirely related to firefox, as i'm fairly certain other browsers are doing it as well atm, though I am interested in knowing if there's any ways within firefox that I can troubleshoot this.

And yes, trying to google this mostly just brings me to programming sites and nothing on the basic user level.

@mozilla @firefox @thunderbird @Waterfox Out of curiosity, and as a feature request, when do you plan upstream Waterfox into Firefox and Betterbird into Thunderbird. The additional customizibility options of Waterfox would be a great addition to Firefox and the bugfixes and improvements made to Betterbird would work great in Thunderbird. When forks of your products make great strides it is a good idea to consider upstreaming these changes for the betterment of all.

Me too. #Firefox Nightly now has an option in the tab overflow menu (that's the down arrow near the top right of the window) to close all duplicate tabs in the window. > > For all duplicates, it's the last active tab that'll remain open. > > Go reclaim that memory and CPU!

Finally duplicate tab management comes to Firefox natively.

Anyone know why?

I love the reader mode, it helps me stay sane, avoiding distractions and being able to use some heavy news sites on my low end devices. I wonder if there's a way to automatically open sites in the reader mode when it's available.

On Mobile (using Mull) the PDFs are completely pixelated and simply dont render more details. Even after zooming in it takes forever.

Meanwhile on Desktop (Librewolf, Firefox, ... on Fedora) it seems a bit slow compared to Okular, but it is very fine.

Didn't want to make title too long, sorry. By load back I mean read from clipboard or from a file or have an input box to paste from clipboard a lost of URLs and open each in a tab.

On my phone (it's a MIUI device) firefox sometimes acts weird, I can see URL in a tab but page looks empty. I can copy the URL manually, close the tab, open a new one, but this can be annoying if I have many tabs and this also changes the tab order.

Also, no, I can't just close firefox and open it again, as I mostly use firefox in private mode.

I just want to copy all open URLs, restart firefox, and open all my tabs in private mode again in the same order by pasting URLs back.

Also, android aften kills my firefox when it's in the backgroind without any warning.

Last time I searched, I couldn't find any such addons, but it's possible that I used wrong keywords.

I know this is Lemmy and plenty of users here are anti-Reddit, but I'm sharing this in case other users have trouble with this as well.

Edit: u/Capta1nT0ad commented a working regex rule, Idk why my attempts didn't. Anyway I modified the rule so it works only on Reddit u/ and r/ links, so it doesn't have a chance of touching links that aren't compatible. I made a pastebin for anyone that wants to just import the file.

{ "createdBy": "Redirector v3.5.3", "createdAt": "2024-05-02T08:36:19.092Z", "redirects": [ { "description": "Redirect to New Reddit, or old Reddit by replacing new.reddit.com in the redirect URL to old.reddit.com", "exampleUrl": "https://www.reddit.com/r/reddit", "exampleResult": "https://new.reddit.com/r/reddit", "error": null, "includePattern": ".+?:\/\/www.reddit.com\/(((r|u|user)\/.*)|$)", "excludePattern": "", "patternDesc": "", "redirectUrl": "https://new.reddit.com$1", "patternType": "R", "processMatches": "noProcessing", "disabled": false, "grouped": false, "appliesTo": [ "main_frame" ] } ] }

A redirector addon is necessary to redirect Reddit pages from the new 2023-24 redesign to either the 2018 redesign or old Reddit\*. Some pages can't be redirected, like https://www.reddit.com/prefs/feeds/ and https://www.reddit.com/mod/firefox/queue (the new mod queue, firefox being the subreddit name).

When I go those links, the following addons don't work for them: Reddit UI Redirector, Old Reddit Redirector, and Old New Reddit Redirector. New Reddit Redirect doesn't even work at all for me, though it hasn't been updated since 2019 and there doesn't seem to be a repo online, so its probably close sourced. I left reviews for all of them. The only addon I found working both links is UI Changer for Reddit.

\* I tried making a regex rule with the Redirector addon but it didn't work.

When I click on a post in a twitter feed it opens it in the same tab when I want to open it in a new tab, and continue scrolling the feed.

• Firefox Relay
• Google Search Fixer
• YouTube High Definition
• OldLander
• uBlock Origin

The GitHub repo for Firefox History Merger was archived back in 2022, while it still works it might be a good idea for a newer alternative in case Firefox makes breaking changes in the future.

Do you know any Multi account containers addon alternative for android?

Anyone else experience this? I haven't ever had this problem with Chrome. Live streams on YouTube seem to freeze once an hour or so. Actually YouTube just seems way slower and much more laggy on FireFox. I am using uBlock Origin so maybe that is throttling things, but I'm not sure.

Any advice?

Dear @firefox : Please stop saving images as webp when I drag them out of the browser. Forever stop that. Even if they are webp originally, just give me a setting to auto-convert them to JPEG. When I get a webp file the first thing I have to do is convert it manually if I'm going to do \anything\ with it.
