Firefox

EDIT-2: The final solution was to add this to "My Filters":

@@||lemmy.fmhy.net^$3p

Based on Adblock Plus filters explained: Exception rules

EDIT: I went to the logger and found that EasyPrivacy filter list had a specific filter for ||fmhy.net^$3p:

This is the first time I see uBlock Origin blocking images from a random domain and I don't know how to whitelist them without disabling uBlock Origin for the whole site.

Any clues are welcome!
Thanks.

How's it with you guys ?

So the other day I was testing a new browser called waterfox. What stuck me as odd was how a small company seemed to have made Firefox so much more usable everyone. I normally use librewolf for privacy and security reasons but waterfox actually temped me to switch. (I ended up not switching for privacy and security reasons)

After I used waterfox for a bit I started thinking more and more about Mozilla the company. What are they even doing these days? It seems like they have stopped with the innovation. They could of setup a competitor to google with a custom nextcloud but they haven't made any competitive products other than a VPN.

I also saw a Nord VPN commercial and it was full of lies are usual (seriously, malware protection?). However a lot of there arguments could apply to Firefox. Why doesn't Mozilla do any sort of advertising? Admittedly Firefox isn't great in the UI department for the average user so it may be worthless

I am currently a LibreWolf user, but I am also aware of Arkenfox User.js, which I am led to believe offers similar features.

Which is better?

For a long time I have been looking for an extension where I can "store" or "separate" my open tabs and send them to another place to read them later, and not something like wallabag and not necessarily offline, but simply for example leave saved the url of this post to see it later, without the need for it to be a news.

This is the extension and this is its Github page and its last update was just 3 weeks ago, so far in my opinion it works absolutely perfect.

Now, to tell the truth I can't say if it works because the developer was aware of the mobile users or it's because Mozilla is working on getting more desktop extensions to mobile, but either way, I want to make it clear that it works fine on desktop too.

For those who are interested, here are the steps to add extensions from desktop to mobile, it also works in Firefox Beta.

Could anyone help me. I have a silly problem with wayland, using Firefox (tar.gz or snap are same, tried both, welp ubuntu option only has it, my fedora on Xorg using XFCE). When searching using bing.com, it likes to freeze. I only know from the ram usage, it suddenly surge till the OS can't put any memory or lack of RAM. I never encounter this in WIndows either nightly, beta, stable or on Fedora Xfce Xorg. I only see this problem in wayland.

My Firefox version is 117 on Linux both wayland or xorg and 119 for windows 10

I put the profiller on the link, I hope someone can point me, why this happen, and how to can overcome it. Thanks!

*probably if any Firefox dev, welcome. Thank you

It started earlier today, I was watching TV and looked up the cast of an episode of solar opposites on IMDB and promptly closed it. Now randomly throughout the day today that tab going to that episodes cast on IMDB opens. Anything on google pointed to malware but I am not convinced its not a weird bug. Anyone else have this happen? i am going to try to clear history and see if that helps or if it opens a blank tab.

I cancelled my subscription since I received a notification that my browser is not supported. Perhaps I should have mentioned my issues with DRM as well, but this may have gone too far. One message is clear, too many messages are noise.

Big update to Firefox (117) dropped if using a screen reader. YouTube video lists, and videos themselves, now scroll much better than before.

Recently switched computers and realized that Google maps is running really slow now. Severe stuttering, longer loading times, etc. The site works normally on chromium based browsers (tested edge, chrome, Vivaldi). Anything I can do?

Old PC had Radeon graphics and new has Intel integrated and Nvidia, if that's relevant.

I've just switched from Brave to Firefox on Android and so far liking it. There's one issue though. I use Bitwarden for my credentials & SwiftKey as keyboard. When I go to a website that asks for credentials, the Bitwarden button shows up above my keyboard to unlock my vault, as expected. I click it, unlock with fingerprint, and select the credentials. So far it's as expected and the same as Brave. However, when I select a credential, it goes back to Firefox, but then refreshes the page; so the credentials are gone. Luckily the credentials then show up above my keyboard as I've unlocked the vault, but after some time of inactivity I have to unlock again and the problem reoccurs.

Any idea how to resolve this?

/edit: looks like a long outstanding bug in Firefox, see here https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1807364

I swear I saw something like this here on Lemmy but I can't find it.

I know android manages the RAM very differently than any desktop OS as it frees up RAM in order to have it available for other processes being third party or core ones.

I remember I saw something that you could fiddle with within the Firefox config page.

Or is it not possible on Android?

I'm using Firefox Nightly, because I think it is the only version that has a working pull to refresh.

I'm dying to find a way to stop Firefox on android from creating new tabs every time I use it. Why does it create a new tab when I open the app? Why won't the tabs ever go away even though I set it to delete them every day? Why is 'every day' the lowest setting to remove them automatically and not when I close the app?

I'm not seeing anything in the settings. I hate having extra tabs open. They're completely useless to me. Does anyone have suggestions?

Thanks.

I found three, Betterfox, arkenfox, & Narsil.

I been using Betterfox for the last week. I been liking it because Betterfox doesn't break sites. Back in the day, I tried arkenfox. But it break some sites I go to. Narsil is a fork of arkenfox.

I’m wonder if its possible to change or refresh tab favicons and only favicons (without refreshing whole tabs). I looked through some pages on MDN and about WebExtensions but I haven’t found any search bars. I’ve also done Google searches specifically for that with no luck.

Only cost me a dollar too.

Is there a thing like good extensions and bad extensions on firefox. I mean, I don't want to know about privacy and security of extensions right now, but does some extensions slow down the performance of firefox more than other extensions?

Also, how to distinguish these extensions from others? Does size of the extension matter? i.e., if the size of the extension is higher does that mean it's eating more resources or will eat more resources.

Does a good extension run on all pages or only on the pages it's needed? Is there a better way to handle extensions? Maybe disable some extensions which are not in use, idk!

I have this amazing site I like and everytime I want to enter it, it shows me this

I was running browsing the internet and I saw that some extension on firefox would get rid of this problem, it was on a meme on either lemmy or on reddit. But, yeah, is there an extension to get rid of the Cloudfare "Checking if your connection is secure" stuff? I am tired of it

Of c, I can just google or search for an extension in the extensions store, but I trust you guys will have the best solution, so here I am. Thank you!

It might be a silly question since most people go from Firefox to Qutebrowser, but I was wondering if anyone has ever made a tridactylrc file with all the keybind from qutebrowser ? Specificaly the keybind for "hint" selection.

I'm not familiar with Firefox internal command and parameters and I don't do Javascript, is there any way to run shell script from Tridactyl like it does with qutebrowser ?

Thanks

Recently I discovered this chrome extension called manganum that adds a sidebar with a bunch of useful features like chatgpt, google calendar and todoist. Sadly there is no firefox version. Is there something similar but for firefox?
