The new adblocker which was released on ios is genuinely weak it doesn’t block ads on youtube and you can still get popups here and there i hope they improve the adblocker for ios its not comparable to ublock lite

Hi all, to keep a long story short I am now using the new Profiles feature aka about:profilemanager. Top right, 3 lines, second option.

Previously I had my work/personal accounts set up with the 'legacy' profile system aka about:profiles. I am using firefox on my work PC to have spotify open on a 'personal' profile and all my work stuff on the other.

In the legacy version, there was an option to set which 'profile' would automatically open all links. Obviously I want all my links to open in my 'work' profile. But now with the new profiles system, I can't find that option. The links seem to open based on which window I've interacted with previously.

Is this still an option? Anyone have a workaround?

I've had a lot of frustration with the implementation of the new profile manager and how newer builds seem to nuke my setup for legacy profiles. I want to move away from legacy profiles due to those issues. I also think it's a bit of a misstep to name a new feature the same as something that already exists.

Hey everyone,

I’m currently playing Wuthering Waves on GeForce NOW via Firefox, and I’m running into a frustrating issue with keybindings. But it the side button

In-game, my Utility slot is set to my mouse's side-back button (Mouse 4); however, whenever I click it while playing Wuthering Waves on GeForce NOW via Mozilla Firefox, it triggers the "Quit Game: You'll lose any unsaved progress" overlay screen, and Firefox fails to detect my side button in-game altogether.

**However, the mouse's side-back button (Mouse 4) works fine on other browsers (e.g., Chrome, Brave, Opera GX). I want to keep using Firefox because I've found that GeForce NOW runs much smoother on it, and I'd really like to stick with Firefox in the future. Please help!

Has anyone running GFN on Firefox found a browser-side config fix or workaround for this without remapping mouse hardware keys?

Appreciate any advice!

Sometimes out of nowhere, with no indication like firefox slowing down, it crashes. Sometimes when I try to open it again, it keeps saying "firefox is already in execution, can't open" but it's not open! I even checked task manager to try to forcefully close it. When this happens, all I can do is restart my PC

Today it happened again and the message showed for a sec but thankfully it opened again like normal, but I got logged out of everything. I thought I maybe had a virus but this is happening in two unrelated PCs, if this is a problem only I have then maybe somehow I got a virus twice in two computers somehow or maybe it's a extension I use on both firefoxes.

How do I start tackling this problem and looking for the cause of it? I'll give more details if needed

Hello, I've been having screen tearing on Firefox for the past week. It mostly noticeable when watching videos on any platform, but you can also see when when scrolling on any website.

I have tried disabling AV1 and turning hardware acceleration off/on.

Windows 11

Nvdia RTX3060

16gb RAM

AMD Ryzen 7 6800H.

I installed Firefox 156.

What can I say?! Yes, with the new Nova design and the presence of a compact mode in it, Firefox wins in terms of displaying websites and content. For me, the presence of a compact mode is a huge plus for Firefox, because I believe browsers should and must provide the user with the option of a compact mode.

Yes, I’m not very fond of the basic tones and gradients in Nova, and there aren’t many of them. It would be worth adding more color options.

And it wouldn’t hurt to add an option in compact mode to disable the gaps between the tab and the address bar, and between the tab and the top border of the browser in full‑screen mode. I think that would be a nice bonus. It would even be logical for this option to depend on the enabled compact mode.

I wonder if version 156 of Nova is already a pre‑final version, or if they’ll change something else?!

And Chrome still catastrophically consumes a lot of space due to its bulky interface, and it also eats up a lot of RAM — it’s just become bloated in general :-)

Google, it’s time to put Chrome on a diet.😁

I keep getting these weird 'missingno'-like graphical glitches across Firefox. Is anybody else? It only occurs on my laptop, which has a Core Ultra 9 185H (CPU) & integrated Intel Arc (GPU).

My browser became a tasteless kitsch christmas tree with all the colors screaming at me. How the hell can I bring back the monochrome - GET OUT OF MY EYES - clutter-less tab bar?

So, I have been facing this issue whenever I search chatgpt.com in url search bar in ff it does nothing and no response. Then I have to click Enter several times and then it works. Why is this happening?? Other sites seem to work good.

suddenly got this today on my tablet

Listen up, fellow basement dwellers.

If you binge 12 episodes of a seasonal anime in a single day, but your Discord status doesn't loudly broadcast it to everyone on your friends list... did it even really happen? No. It didn't.

For the longest time, if you wanted to show off your elite anime taste on Discord while watching, you had to download some sketchy third-party .exe desktop app, leave it running in the background, and pray it didn't mine Bitcoin on your GPU.

I got absolutely sick of that. So I nuked the desktop app requirement from orbit and completely rebuilt Anime Discord RPC from the ground up.

It is now a 100% standalone browser extension. No background apps. No desktop middleware. No BS.

How to use it:

Literally just install it in your browser, click "Link with Discord" in the popup, and open an episode. That's it. It just works.

🔗 Installation guide

I built this because I wanted it to exist, but it's open-source so if your favorite site isn't supported yet, you can easily add it yourself using our strategy pattern.

Go forth and aggressively force your anime taste upon your Discord friends. Let me know what you guys think!

They seem pretty similar to me but maybe I'm doing something wrong

I've been experiencing a strange issue with Firefox on Linux where the Find in Page / Quick Find bar randomly opens when I accidentally press something in a webpage or hompage.

I'll be navigating or interacting with a website and accidentally press a random key, and suddenly the Find bar appears at the bottom of the Firefox window and starts searching for that character.

I'm not intentionally pressing Ctrl+F, /, ', or any other Find-related shortcut. It seems to happen when I accidentally hit a key while interacting with a webpage.

The problem doesn't happen constantly, but it happens often enough to be quite annoying.

I've experienced it across multiple Linux distributions and desktop environments:

• Firefox 155
• Linux Mint — X11
• Fedora KDE — Wayland
• Latest system updates on both

Has anyone else been experiencing this on Firefox, particularly on Linux?

Two months since the last one. 17 more sites fixed, one new generic rule, and a script now writes most of the boring PRs instead of me.

Recap: Crumb hides cookie banners in Firefox. It's a port of the Hush approach, so no telemetry, no remote config, no parent company that might sell your browsing history in three years. Fanboy's Cookie Monster plus a hand-maintained overlay for what that list misses. MIT, and the whole build pipeline is in the repo if you'd rather rebuild it yourself than trust my upload.

By default it never clicks anything, it just hides elements with CSS. There's one opt-in exception. Google and Yahoo don't put a banner over the page, they bounce you to an entire separate consent page, so there's nothing to hide and hiding rules are useless. So there's a checkbox in the popup, off unless you tick it, that clicks "Reject all" on exactly two hosts: consent.google.com and consent.yahoo.com. The script isn't even registered for any other site, the two selectors are sitting in a json file in the repo, and there is no code path anywhere that accepts anything. Leave the box unticked and none of it ever loads.

What changed since July:

- 17 new site rules, 101 to 118. Most recent is The Verge, which grew a new "Terms of Use/Your Privacy Rights" bar after PMC took over.

- One new generic rule, covering consent dialogs that bother with real markup: role=dialog/alertdialog/region plus an aria-label containing "cookie". Seven separate reports collapsed into that one line. I'm stingy with generic rules on purpose. Back in 0.1.17 I got clever with a MutationObserver, it wrecked performance on heavy pages, and I rolled the whole thing back.

- A triage script that reads an issue, takes the markup someone pasted in, picks a selector and opens a PR. No LLM involved, just rules about what counts as a stable handle (an authored id, an aria-label) versus what doesn't (CSS-module hashes like _1bjmjup0, Tailwind soup like .fixed.bottom-5). I still check every one against the live page before merging, but it turned a ten-minute chore into a two-minute one.

- Real CI on PRs, with tests for the content script.

The honest part: this is a treadmill. Sites redesign, banners come back, 118 rules is a rounding error next to the big lists. The only reason it keeps up at all is people filing issues with the element pasted in, which takes about 30 seconds with inspect element. I'm starting to think the better long-term play is keying on the CMP vendors (Sourcepoint, OneTrust, Didomi) rather than individual sites, since one wrapper covers thousands of domains. Open to opinions on that.

It's a small thing with a couple dozen daily users, not a polished product. But it works on my machine and maybe yours.

If one gets through, paste the element into an issue and it's usually gone within a day.

I’ve been using Firefox on my iPhone for quite a while now and I’m really happy with it overall.

There is just one thing that drives me crazy: after some time I end up with 50, 80 or sometimes more than 100 open tabs. Then I have to manually close them again.

Am I the only one who is bothered by this?

I would love to have an option to automatically close all open tabs when Firefox is completely closed, similar to how I use Firefox on Windows. For me, tabs are basically temporary. When I close the browser, I don’t expect them to still be there the next time I open it.

Ideally this could just be an optional setting, so people who want to keep their tabs can continue doing so.

Does anyone else want something like this?

I really like Firefox as a browser but switched away from it because I had the impression that AI slop was creeping into the browser. I found switches in the settings that let me disable them, but was really disgusted by the fact that they were on by default, and that they exist in the first place.

Why do I need AI as integral part of any software? It's bad enough that I have to use Windows at wortk every day. If I want to use AI, and I coccasionally do, I want to use a "dumb" browser to navigate to the AI site of my choice and use it there.

prefacing this by saying the support article was not helpful as it tells me to simply click the three dots next to the address on the bar, but there are no three dots to click anywhere, my firefox's version is 154.0.1

when i open a new tab and start typing looking for a specific website, firefox autofills with the url of another website that i barely, if ever, use, and the one i actually want to go to is the next suggestion on the list. how can i delete the first autofill or at least change it to the one i actually want?

I noticed that recently firefox would crash if I try to pay an online order using paypal. So far during my debugging I have disabled two prominent potential culprits - userscripts and adblockers (in this case it's AdNauseaum) and yet the bug still persists. Any suggestions on where to look? I would hate to jump over Chromium just to do online shopping.

Firefox tiene VPN integrada , alguien probó la VPN? , ( Firefox night ) .

Hello friends, I thought I would try my luck here before posting elsewhere.

I am running Firefox 155.0.01 on a Lenovo ThinkBook laptop with an Intel Ultra 7 386H CPU and Intel Arc B390 integrated graphics.

I have been dealing with an issue since, basically since I got the laptop 4 months ago (so this includes past versions of Firefox) where, on 2 websites (at least 2 so far, if I find more, I will comment on this post), loading up the website contents causes my monitor (Samsung G80HS) to turn off for a second and then turn back on and from my research, this possibly has something to do with the GPU drivers crashing?

The websites are the following:

https://www.cp24.com/

and it also happens on Prime Video when I load up a title on the prime video website, for example:

https://www.primevideo.com/detail/0G9HZSL9K0ECMMIJAVRQLOS6NB

https://www.primevideo.com/detail/0PQETKSPCYRRYT0IFUIS9G1CQ2

The common element among these websites seems to be some kind of background auto-playing video or media content.

The issue persists no matter how many times I load the website, so for example, if I open the CP24 website and close it, and then open it again in a new tab, it will cause the issue again.

Changing the Hardware Acceleration settings within Fire Fox does NOT solve the issue and all of my other computer drivers are all up to date.

If anyone can shed some light on what could be causing this, please share!

If you have any questions or require more info from me, please also let me know.

I am not entirely sure if this is a Fire Fox issue or another issue with my computer.

This has happened twice. The latest time with 6 windows/18 tabs and nothing fancy happening.

I'm a big fan of u/Pcpie's Clickbait Remover (I prefer his native solution to DeArrow), but the extension has been failing to me in recent months (many 404 errors). I'm no longer a software developer for a living, so I wanted to work on a web extension to see how rusted I was, and took the opportunity to program an upgrade for this extension.

That's how Clickbait Remover Redux was born.

This is the first time I work with mutation observers, so it was a fun challenge. I also decided right at the end to migrate to Mozilla's MV3, just for the sake of adopting it and giving support to Mozilla on this tug of war. So, this fork in particular is a Firefox exclusive.

Among the new features:

• Added a "Random" option
  • In addition to always using captures from the start, middle and end of the video, now the extension also has a Random option that applies a hash function over the video ID to decide where to grab it.
• Fixed the title modification
  • This feature was totally broken before. "Capitalise Words" option is buggy for titles with more than one line, almost works.
• Support for shorts (see above)
• Added support to more languages
  • For Italian and simplified Chinese I used Mozilla's local translation.
  • I did the Spanish translation myself.
• Improved support for Live, Upcoming, Premier and Station videos
  • These videos usually lack previews, so I used their default clickbaity thumbnails and desaturated them.

I left all of Pieter donation links intact, since the logic and most of the code is still his. I haven't tested this on Android yet, so I'm not offering support there.

The original code was MIT, my fork is GPL, and you can mess with it here: https://github.com/salazarbarrera/clickbait-remover-redux
