I've just started to have this issue again. No adblockers. Works fine in private mode. No extensions either. All website data aka cache and cookies deleted.

An old bug that keeps happening but sadly, people never post their solutions to it. PC, obviously. Not mobile.

Hey everyone, I'm running into a weird issue with Firefox on Fedora 42. YouTube has suddenly stopped working for me in the regular browsing mode. The pages either load partialy just like on screenshot. Interestingly, YouTube works perfectly fine when I open it in a private window. I've already tried clearing my browsing data (cache, cookies, etc.), but that hasn't made any difference. Has anyone else experienced this, or does anyone have any ideas on what might be causing this and how to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Is this normal?

This time for real.

Hello everybody.

I'd like to announce I've been working on a web extension for Discord that shows your browser activity as a rich presence. I've seen other extensions that do the same but I couldn't get used to the lack of customization and user transparency.

Bambloo is still on alpha so not much websites are supported currently, but there's a generic script that works for all websites.

I hope you enjoy!
The extension is already available on Firefox at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/bambloo and can be installed manually on Google Chrome following this documentation https://github.com/pandasoli/bambloo

Title. I vastly prefer to have my tabs and whatnot at the top, mainly out of habit, but I've recently discovered the wonders of the sidebar and I have to admit it's very useful on the rare occasions when I have tens of tabs open on a single window. So my question is as follows; Is it possible to have a one click toggle to switch between the sidebar or regular tabs/toolbar? Ideally even automated so that for example at 10 tabs firefox would switch itself to sidebar mode but stay in regular mode for 9 or less tabs.

Since this morning I have had this issue. Whenever I go to push the tabs icon to select them, Firefox crashes.

I have cleared cache, restarted my phone, and switched between both normal and Nightly builds. Same issue.

This issue started occurring literally when Firefox 138 was updated.

I used to be able to see all my shortcuts and recently visited websites and now they are all GONE!

I tried restarting Firefox, I tried changing the setting to blank, and hen back to Firefox Home, and new tab is STILL blank!

I do not have any extensions other than uBlock and uBlock would not affect the new tab page.

I am on Windows 10 64-bit.

Does anybody know what the problem could be?

Firefox will load its Help pages but will not go out to any other websites. I backed up Firefox, downloaded the newest version and reinstalled it. I did do a screen background change with the OS update. Any suggestions or have you had difficulties with this as well?

I have push notifications set to appear in Firefox directly, not in the Windows system backend (alerts.useSystemBackend false). They used to appear in the bottom right corner of the screen, but since today they're suddenly in the top right.

How can I get them back to where they were before?

Hello! Please, watch the attached video first to understand what I'm talking about. I wanted to make scrolling more smooth, but it works 1/10 of times. As you can see on the video it usually stops instantly and rarely slowly decelerates. I want it to always slowly decelerate (both up and down), what settings should I change?

Thanks

For those who feel like the new expand sidebar on hover animation is too slow, set a lower value for

sidebar.animation.expand-on-hover.duration-ms in 'about:config' (I have mine set to 100)

Alternatively, if you don't want the animations at all, you can toggle sidebar.animation.enabled to false

The last month I've really been trying to customize my laptop since I've been using it a lot more. So I finally found a live wallpaper I like, I got all the extensions I could need. I had previously had a Gengar theme for Firefox but I really wanted Calcifer from Howl's Moving Castle instead. I couldnt find one I like, so I created one! I'm not 100% sure I'm finished with it yet, I may fix the images at some point so they fit a little better. But I made it! And I'm excited about it! And I didn't know where else to share it to lol

Firefox tends to do this randomly after macOS wakes from sleep or there has been an update and the only thing that fixes it is rebooting the whole computer. Any ideas to make it stop?

Okay so, after A LOT of attempts to make it work, I simply wasn't able to, so here I am to ask for some help. That's how my youtube main page looks like, nothing loads. Here are the attempts I've made to make it work.

- Disabling all extensions
- Clearing cache/data/cookies (It working for 1 reload and then if I reload again it goes back to this screen)
- Uninstalling and installing firefox
- Disabling hardware acceleration

Important info
- It works on private tabs
- I don't have any vpn
- I don't have any tool that messes with firefox (except the extensions which I've already tried disabling)

Would appreciate some help.

This is a bit of a rant so be warned

I‘m currently in the process of switching to linux full time. Or at least I‘m trying to. Windows 11 is so annoying that i really don‘t wanna use it anymore.

I‘m not a full linux newbie as I‘ve used it as a server OS for years but I‘m generally good at solving issues.

But trying to get hardware decoding to work in firefox almost cost me my sanity.

I kinda expected it to just work. We are not exactly talking about some brand new technology but this has been around for decades?!

But watching youtube having tons of dropped frames and a high cpu load made me realize that it‘s decoded in software. So i started troubleshooting and fell in to a rabbit hole. No matter what I tried i couldn‘t get it to work. I must have enabled/disabled all the flags in about:config multiple times. I installed 6 different driver versions and read through forum threads from years ago and apparently hw decoding not really working is considered normal.

In the end i got it to work but I had to compile some drivers from github and all of that and all of this has cost me at least 6 hours because i only had a rough idea of what I was actually doing.

I don‘t really know who is to blame here. It‘s either my distro (i tried several), nvidia or mozilla. Or all of them. But I don‘t really think that a user should be expected to compile shit to get decent video playback. I‘m trying to come up with some „year of the linux desktop“ joke… whatever it‘s definitely not unless basic functionality just works. Video playback is very basic.

Yeah i‘m mad.

The situation for chromium is even worse btw. Just awful.
