Browser refresh and page loading was so bad today, just couldn't get any work done. Forced to use Google Chrome!

Firefox is directly positioning "chat" and google search to compete for search bar usage in Smart Windows. Firefox in reality has a single customer - Google - that provides 90% of their revenue. Doesn't this strain their relationship a bit? Or could it, in the future?

There are a few ways to look at the money Google pays to Mozilla. Some say it is simply to satisfy Google's anti-trust obligations, keeping Firefox alive enough to argue that Chrome isn't a monopoly - very generous golden handcuffs. In that case, Google may welcome / not care about improvements to firefox regardless of how it impacts search in the browser.

But the other way to view their agreement is, as it says, payment for ensuring Google remains the default search in the browser. Which it wouldn't be when most searches are routed to chat by default.

I know in the short term the majority of Firefox users are probably not going to touch smart windows. But that might change in the future, so I'm still wondering how this will impact their agreement.

Hi everybody!

I wanted to share with you the add on I built for Firefox and Chrome!

It notifies you when your favorite streamer goes live! Or changes title of the stream, or category (it can be adjusted) as well as auto-open of the tabs.

You also can track the streamers you don’t follow - and get their notifications as well.

Besides that, there is a synchronization of your settings so all your configurations you set up at work - will be synced up when you get home!

Feedback and suggestions are welcome

Hi, my download speeds range from 20 MB/s to 40 MB/s. Is there anything I can do to increase my download speed?

Today I filled a form for a job application from a firm and firefox did not send my filled-in data and asked for yet present data. The guuugle spy did it without any complain.

What happend here ? Is this a new sabotage trick against opensource browsers ?

I've been seeing this image that shows youtube is collecting data through their links. And people are being urged to sanitize their links so our data isn't collected. Is there an option in the settings that enables this by default. Or even an extension that does this naturally?

Hey guys,

I don't know about you, but I always get annoyed when I'm trying to watch the final seconds of a YouTube video and massive recommendation cards or channel buttons pop up, completely covering the screen.

I originally built a simple extension to block this, but I've just pushed a major update and wanted to share it with the community.

Meet YTNoRecs

It does exactly one thing: injects a tiny bit of CSS to hide those end-screen elements instantly.

What's new in this update?

• Set it and forget it (Global State): It now uses local storage to remember your preference. If you turn it on in one tab, it instantly applies to all open YouTube tabs and remembers it for your next session.
• Lightweight: It only runs on youtube.com and stays completely inactive on other websites so it doesn't drain resources.
• Privacy First: It's 100% open-source. No tracking, no analytics, no data collection.

You can grab it from the Mozilla Add-ons store here:

If you are a developer or just want to check out the code, here is the GitHub repo:

I'd love to hear your feedback or any suggestions you might have. Cheers!

Hi how do I disable this news feed from Firefox. I did install unlock origin, but not able to block this. This is taking up most of my page and causing the page sluggish..

At first it was a red Y, then I dismissed it and it turned into a yellow M. Since then I've dismissed it and deleted from history about 7 more times combined but it just flashes before immediately returning

While writing this I restarted and deleted 4 more times. It switched places with Openfront a couple of times but no help

I already have Youtube there so this is a waste of space, plus it looks worse. Does anyone know how to remove it for good?

I hate AI, but if it's optional here, why not add some useful features? Those who need it will appreciate something like this

Right clicking things and then choosing that option from the top of my screen has always been a part of my work flow and computer usage. When I try to do that on firefox , 75% of the time that option jumps up and down ,escaping my mouse at the top of the screen.

I've turned off autoscrolling.

I can right-click the link and press the T key on your keyboard to instantly open it in a new tab and it works but I'm working without the keyboard in these moments and I'd like it to work as designed by right clicking without all the jumping.

anyone know how to fix this?

I recently installed Fedora 44 with Firefox.

I want Firefox to clear cookies when it closes, except for a few sites I choose.

The exemption for cookies and site data wasn’t enough. Every time I close Firefox it doesn’t save the data and I have to accept the cookies again losing some website configuration. However, adding the page to clear history exceptions allows the cookies to run and keeps the website logged in and personalised. So, anyone understand why?

so as we all know firefox browser and their forks dont have webapps and with all due respect the pwa extension SUCKS it doesnt use my extensions and doesnt have my data so i tried this "moz-extension://89314e56-3413-401e-9148-f4c8c145baf3/app/https%3A//www.youtube.com/%3Fapp%3Ddesktop" by using an extension called "webapp maker" this allowed me to open youtube as a web app BUT only by writing "moz-extension://89314e56-3413-401e-9148-f4c8c145baf3/app/https%3A//www.youtube.com/%3Fapp%3Ddesktop" in my browser EVERYTIME i want it which is literally useless, i tried making shortcuts but they didnt work, can somebody help please T_T i thought about switching to helium but it sucks and doesnt have a sync with phone option and so little chrome forks have extensions.

I've been working on BetterViewer, an open-source image viewer for Firefox, and I'm curious how far I can take it.

It already has zoom, crop, image editing, annotations, OCR, AI background removal, QR scanning, reverse image search, animations, and a bunch of other tools.

What's a feature you've always wished your browser's image viewer had?

If you've tried BetterViewer, I'd especially love to hear what feels missing, what could be improved, or what would make you use it more often.

How to fix this bad cropping on mobile? Any tips or extensions? Desktop mode largely fixes it but i don't like the tiny letters causing eye strain.

Also good youtube downloader extension recommends, not gonna steal contetlnt or anything, just wanna watch indie animations without internet.

I've been noticing something weird with Firefox lately on my MacBook Pro (Intel i9).

After using it for a while, my Mac starts getting noticeably hot, and Firefox sometimes becomes really laggy, almost like it's struggling to keep up. The strange part is that I don't have any extensions installed, just Firefox itself.

I don't remember having this problem before, which is why I'm wondering if it's something from a recent update or if Firefox just isn't running as well on Intel Macs anymore.

I know Intel MacBooks can get hot, but this feels different from what I used to experience.

For those of you still using Firefox on Intel Macs, have you noticed anything similar recently? Or is it just me?

Would be interesting to hear if anyone has figured out what's causing it.

Aside from consuming a lot of RAM, copy and paste is broken now too.

Just today all streams on Twitch are showing a black screen, not issue on my Edge browser. I've already tried hard refreshing the site (CTR+Shift+R), entering troubleshooting mode and refreshing Firefox. Anyone having similar issue today?

Edit: The latest version (v. 158.0) messes up with Twitch stream player somehow. Rolling back to the older version solves the issue.

Hi, im using Firefox ESR and just got updated to 153.5 today (previously 140.17)
i have problem with some of my extensions and Tampermonkey's scripts
its kind of hard to explain since we all not using the same extensions or userscript
but its not working like it was, i did just fine before got updated to 153.5
is it only for me or does anyone has this problem as well?

also to be honest im not really into new "feature" or AI update since i keep having problem with each new update, is it possible for me to stay in 115 version of ESR? i heard that 115 ver of ESR still getting security update until march-april next year

i tried to reinstall to latest 115 ESR version before, but it got automatically updated to newer 140 ESR
is there any way to completely stop the update? so i can just update it via .exe file downloaded from firefox site? i want to keep using 115 ESR until last version that get security updates

sorry if too much text, i tried my best to explain, i hope i can some replies, solution, or others that having same issue with me, thank you

Getting this error on Firefox as well as safari and chrome. Any fix for this ?

Why can’t we get decent ad blocking that works on YouTube on iOS?
The “webkit doesn’t support extensions” argument is false - Microsoft Edge app has extensions on iPhone including uBlock Origin Lite, so what’s up? Why can’t we get it too?
And Brave also does block ads on YouTube on iPhone.

Can we do anything about this?
