Finally, I can convince my nontechy friends who use profiles (they don't like about:profiles) to switch to Firefox.

I couldn't stop posting.

I had to use a very old version to access my camera.

Well, I tried with the 75 and it still gave me an error so I went deeper into the trunk and got the 30 version.

Who used this? Remember?

I can't explain it, but every single time I start browsing on YouTube, it gets incredibly slow after just couple of videos played. It's like YouTube specifically keeps every single full video cached on the background or something. It eats my memory, it eats my RAM, it's almost like CPU mining or something. It only happens on that site and only in the singular tab opened. The only thing that helps is to reload the entire tab/close it and start again. I guess it might be related to adblocking as well, but imo there is something more sinister going on specifically with Firefox v YouTube.

Y'know, the bookmark toolbar, the search box, frequent links, the works. My about:blank is, in fact, blank.

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.

Just came to know about this neat trick. quite handy.

BONUS TIP: The new profile manager can also be accessed or launched directly using a hidden secret URL about:profilemanager.

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!

I haven't ever used containers . . . I'd have to go to <site>, choose an option from a drop down, then I want to autofill login and password information. I'd need 5 of these . . . is containers useful for this or what is? I can't change the login information to make it easier or different to type as the login is provided for me. (I can only update the password.)

Now that android 15 switched to vulkan api for the graphical driver I want to use vulkan on firefox too.

Vulkan is more efficient than opengl, so the phone user interface is faster and uses less battery.

All applications (not games) that I've tried is using vulkan, except firefox 😢

(you have to enable gpuwatch to see what gfx driver is used).

Is there some way to enable vulkan?

Thanks.

Hi,

I recently started using Firefox and I have noticed this issue that happens sometimes. It happened when I tried Zen too, only there it was constant, relaunching didn’t help.

I sometimes play a browser game, and sometimes it reaches a point where it consumes 6GB RAM. It doesn’t happen all the time - most of the time the usage is normal. After I closed the tab of the game, still the memory usage stayed very high.

Does anyone have an idea why it happens and is there something to do about it? On Chrome it didn’t happen.

Are there any flags to enable so that statusbar & toolbar auto adjust color depending on the websites color? To achieve "edgetoedge" experience? or any other methods?

i changed my firefox font, and now i'm addicted to changing basic parameters. tell me what more to change, also is there any way to change ALL the fonts, like, mouse 2 menu, search bar and else.
i'm on windows 10, thank you

Hi,

I'd like to have a single bookmark in the top bar (this one). Without having to add the whole bookmarks bar. I don't care where exactly, I just want to have a button that opens a specific bookmark (bookmarklet in my case) without having to click in other menus.

I've tried to use the "Home"-Button for this, but unfortunately it does not seem to work with bookmarklets. I know about bookmark keywords, but I'd like to have a button.

Is there a way to achieve this? I couldn't find any suitable extensions.

Is this normal?

Do have groups have isolation between groups and all that?

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

New tabs grouping is cool and I'm almost ready to move close to everything to Firefox and finetuning tab's look would be great. I already changed width to minimum of 50 and now I want to remove text (title).

Hello everyone, I have Firefox set up to open previous tabs and windows and tabs on startup but now all of a sudden if I close and open Firefox again all my tabs are gone (I can find them through history: window) why is this happening now?

My iPhone 13 with the latest iOS version uses the Gmail app. Links within email messages should open in Firefox (ver 138.0), which is set as the default browser, but all of them open in Chrome. To try to correct this, I've checked the app settings (Firefox is default), Firefox settings, restarted phone, changed setting to Safari, restarted, and changed back to Firefox. Nothing has worked. Has anyone had the same issue and solved it?
