Thought I'd never see the day when Firefox would match Chrome on Speedometer.

There's also a few other benchmarks got a sizable boost. https://arewefastyet.com/

Hello! both firefox --help and man firefox return a list of flags and command line options, but options like --class and --name are missing. where can I find a complete list of options?

When going to use Adobe express on Firefox it comes up with the following message, saying that this browser doesn't play well with others and that I should use Safari, Google Chrome, or Microsoft Edge instead.

I have ff set to open everything in private tabs by default, but when i want to login to an account with my password manager i have to open ff, turn private browsing off and then paste the link from the password manager. I was wondering if some sort of syntax existed to tell ff to open it in a standart tab kind of like about:settings or mailto:

Can someone recommend a plugin to click through all those annoying GDPR cookie popups. In a perfecrt world, I woudl like it to automagically™ pick necessary only, but I'm sure that's asking for too much.

Good news, Kingsoft Antivirus users.

In the of all web pages I've checked so far there is always a line <link href="data:text/css,%5Bid*%3D'google_ads_iframe'%5D%2C%5Bid*%3D'taboola-'%5D%2C.taboolaHeight%2C.taboola-placeholder%2C%23credential_picker_container%2C%23credentials-picker-container%2C%23credential_picker_iframe%2C%5Bid*%3D'google-one-tap-iframe'%5D%2C%23google-one-tap-popup-container%2C.google-one-tap-modal-div%7Bdisplay%3Anone!important%3Bmin-height%3A0!important%3Bheight%3A0!important%3B%7D" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

Does anyone know what it means? I tried to open a page in edge, and I do not see it there.

I am running mozilla-flatpak, version 115 on Fedora

I just moved to Firefox and was wondering what extensions/themes people use and what's reccomended

Also good just as a general post for all good Firefox Extensions & Themes ect.

Thanks!

When I first opened Firefox after installing, I configured all the settings for myself. And I unchecked >Always check if Firefox is your default browser. It checked it back on by itself and now I can't uncheck it! It's grayed out.

I just went through a long list of keyboard shortcuts for Firefox. One that I didn't see that I would find useful is to press something like ⇧ Shift + ⌘ + C to copy the URL and then paste it into an email or message to send to someone. Does something like this exist?

Basically the send to device feature was solid for me but since around build 98 they redid it to be more chrome like sadly so instead of keeping devices linked forever you now have to log into them every couple of weeks. That makes me need something like Pushbullet again to send links to devices that I won’t log into for months on end.

I am looking for alternative knowledge sources to mozillazine that's a bit more up to date.

Specifically, I am after something that explains advanced about:config options and what each sqlite file and storage directories in my profile are actually used for. When I search online for things I get unhelpful support articles from mozilla and random reddit threads with conflicting information.

I've played around with a lot of things through a lot of trial and error (I can share some about:config values if anyone's interested in them), but I'd like to be directed somewhere I can go to and check first to make sure I won't break my profile tinkering.

I already use ffprofile to set up my user.js, but I'm looking for something with more documentation without having to resort to reading the source code of firefox.

It's been half a year now at least that this change was introduced and it's super annoying. I discover this behavior on MacOS many years but now this is happening in Linux. Because of that I really want to change browser.

Am I missing a reason for such a change?

Edit: to be clear I always setup Firefox to ask everytime what to do but the open option used to open the file without downloading it (or probably in a tmp folder somewhere) now with the open option you have the file in your download which misses the point of asking in the first place.

How to get rid of this? Or is it a OS problem? I would like a full screen version, thanks.

Dear Firefox, please stop shoveling that awful “Pocket” app our throats on every browser upgrade… it’s really useless tbh

I've liked Firefox in the past on school computers, but lately I've been using brave on all my devices.

I love Brave, with its built in adblockers PLUS the ability to install more on top of it, so you can turn one off and still have protection. It feels pretty streamlined.

As someone who pirates stuff pretty frequently too, all of its pop up blockers make me feel more safe.

Should I make a switch to Firefox, and if so, why?

1. Is there a way to make th e tab row smaller?
2. I'd like to add the piped.kavin.rocks Youtube alternative search engine into Vimium C. What is the right row I need to write to make a shortcut command into the url bar?
