Does anyone know if it is possible to recover the pinned shortcuts that I used to have on new tabs?

I updated to the last version, my pins were wiped and I have fewer shortcuts columns as well :/

The thing just much more convenient to use. Unless there's some security/privacy related thingy that forces the change.

I've tried searching for what the cause of this is but I've had no luck so hopefully it's ok to ask here.

For some reason LibreWolf is displaying pages with a significant amount of spacing between words/text justification.

The screenshot provided shows how the LibreWolf docs page looks in Firefox on the left and LibreWolf on the right. I am currently running LibreWolf version 141.0.3-1 on Kubuntu 25.04

Is there some way to alter LibreWolf so it renders the text more like the Firefox does or is this finger printing related i.e. intentional?

Thanks!

Here's how LibreWolf currently looks for me. Aside from the sidebar and some stuff removed from the toolbar, it's pretty standard.

And here's how i'd like it to look, with no toolbar and less stuff in the sidebar.

The back/forward/reload buttons are moved to the top of the sidebar. The window controls are moved to the bottom of the sidebar. Settings & history are replaced by bookmark and menu. And keyboard shortcuts exist to access the address bar, like in Links.

This layout saves space for the content of pages and relies more on keyboard shortcuts and less on the mouse.

Is this possible without making my own Firefox fork?

Trying to load my usual Proton Mail web app and I get an error that is completely un-bypassable. Details of the error say "This version of Firefox is no longer supported due to a bug in the WebCrypto API. Please Update to a newer version".

Has anyone encountered this and found a fix? Not sure the devs are aware either. Any info is appreciated.

EDIT: Issue was somehow my LibreWolf was not updating as a result of various package manager repo things. Manually updating the install to the latest version fixed this problem.

I reinstalled Librewolf via brew on my Mac and got this message: Warning: librewolf has been deprecated! It will be disabled on 2026-09-01.

Any idea what's happening there?

Would love to have another way to use Librewolf on Mac OS btw... it has to be reinstalled regularly with "brew reinstall librewolf --no-quarantine" because the installation "is broken". Very annoying, but I love Librewolf!

Hi,

I'm using FreeNginx and in my configuration i have

http2 on;

but when I make a vist on http://localhost/ it's http/1.1 that kick...

I've found^1

Firefox already has HTTP/2 AFAIK.
The entry is called network.http.spdy.enabled.http2 but it's set to "false" by default,

I don't have this in LibreWolf, I created it, to see if it does something, but it's still the HTTP/1.1 that is used.. Any ideas ?

Thanks.

I'm updated through the AUR, and said update pushed just a few hours ago.

My default search engine (a custom Searx instance) keeps being overridden to DuckDuckGo when I reopen my browser. I deleted the line in the about:config about 5 times now, to no avail. Anyone else having this problem?

I have my bookmarks bar set to only display on a new tab, and my tabs to display vertically in a collapsed sidebar. This is fine except when i open a new tab and the bookmark bar shifts all my tabs down. Is there a way to move the bookmark bar over so it starts next to the sidebar rather than above?

Here's how it looks now and how i'd like it to look.

I started to use YubiKey 5 Series / FIDO2 It works well in Firefox, but doesn't work in LibreWolf. LLM suggest to make next browser setting change

security.webauth.u2f true

security.webauth.webauthn true

security.webauth.webauthn_enable_softtoken true

security.webauth.webauthn_enable_usbtoken true

but it didn't help. Suggestions are welcome and appreciated.

Recently, some interactive "demo" boxes (example here) in the MDN web docs stopped working on LibreWolf for me. The preview was blank and clicking on the buttons did nothing.

Turns out I had enabled "Limit cross-origin referrers" in settings, and unchecking the box allowed MDN to work normally.

Hope this helps!

Anybody know what setting I need to modify to make weather radar sites work in Librewolf? I've tried several from my local news sites, NOAA, aviation sites, etc. They all just show a blank box where the radar graphics would be. I've tried enabling WebGL and checking canvas permissions which they don't seem to want anyway. Not sure what else could be causing this.

I only have two plugins, Bitwarden and UBlock Origin, and I tried turning UBlock off for some of the sites to no effect, so I'm thinking it has to be a Librewolf setting. The sites work fine in vanilla Firefox.

This needs to be a native feature due to its importance. Guess which browser had visibilitychange first. Quoum.

Visibilitychange is one of the many anti-features invented by Google. Mainly used to block background playback.

Well, I have noticed that I can't store or update password. If type in a password on some site, Firefox showed a popup asking if I would save it or not. Why Librewolf don't suggest me that action? I definitely enabled that function in the settings.

Librewolf versions: 137.0.2-1, 138.0.3-1 Ubuntu 24.10

Can't we make a proposal to Arch Linux devs?

I tried yet most common steps: installed the addon and gnome-browser-connector, linked ~/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts into ~/librewolf/, but still get No such native application org.gnome.chrome_gnome_shell on gnome extensions page. Any clues how to get it work?

Latest update to LibreWolf changed it's user agent string and it's causing websites to freak out. For example amazon will default you to a mobile website and Youtube music is having issues. To make matters worse if you try to download an extension to change the user agent string, it won't let you and tell you to download Firefox. You'll need to manually override the user agent string by going into about:config. You'll need to add general.useragent.override string into config. > > > Here is how you can do that: > https://www.whatismybrowser.com/guides/how-to-change-your-user-agent/firefox > > I changed my user agent string to following and problem went away. > > > Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:138.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/138.0

I have uBlock and Canvas Blocker off, the little shield thingy off, my VPN off, and Autoplay allowed, but still cannot play videos on bandcamp. Anyone else having this problem?

I keep finding myself having to manually disable and re-enable a few different settings as I use Librewolf, namely Letterboxing and WebGL, as I switch between browsing the internet and trusted sites or home server UIs. Is there any way to configure these on a site-by-site basis, or at least from a container/profile interface of some sort?

I have tried a restart.

I keep getting this error in element

MatrixError: [403] You do not belong to any of the required rooms/spaces to join this room. (https://matrix.org/_matrix/client/v3/join/%23librewolf%3Amatrix.org?server_name=matrix.org&via=matrix.org)

Anybody else?

I was reading various old posts and the librewolf faq, but none answer my question, so here I am.

Following scenario:

I have the setting against fingerprinting enabled, which is probably the reason why a new private window opens at a set height and set width, 900 and 1600 respectively per about:config.

Now! If I maximise the window, then the inner limits of the window with a webpage do not change (as far as I can tell), what does change is that the original window is embedded now in a bigger window, the bookmarks bar (which I view as separate from the window where a webpage itself is) does stretch to fit to the new size - but as I understand fingerprinting, it's only about the part where the webpage is, not the bookmarks bar or the textbox for the address.

So why does every resource keep saying that maximising the window makes it easier to identify the user if the relevant part of the browser is kept at set height and width even if the window is being maximised? Why having the webpage kind of embedded in a bigger window if it doesn't serve its purpose: Making sure the window is the same size for every user and thus helps against fingerprinting?

Sorry if it is a duplicate, as I said I read old posts and the librewolf faq to no avail.

Thanks!

Does anyone know if anything changed with the new tab settings?

I used to have this custom userContent.css to add more columns to topSites described below, but it is no longer working after I updated :/

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1430289

folder named "chrome" and file named "userContent.css" are still there

@-moz-document url(about:home), url(about:newtab) {
  @media (min-width: 1800px) {
    .ds-outer-wrapper-breakpoint-override main {
      width: 1700px !important;
    }
  }
}

edit: If anyone has any suggestions to add more columns to topSites, let me know edit2: solved
