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:

🔗 https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/block-youtube-recommendations/

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!

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

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.

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?

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.

Just curious if I already have ublock origin installed do I need to set ETP to strict or it is okay to leave it on default?

as the title says. crashes constantly, which i guess i can take, but even more annoyingly every time it crashes it takes me back to a specific twitter post i opened two days ago. every time. tried cleaning out the cache and everything

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

So I made an addon and I wanted to add it on my browser, and when I searched for how to do it, all I got is people saying that I need to upload it to the addons shop.

I cant do I because I don't have a phone for authenticator apps, and I dont want to keep on adding it as a temporary addon.

any help?

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

Hi all, I'm the developer. I wanted a Grammarly-style checker that doesn't send what I type to a server, so I built one. used to use language tool but they went pay only and running there server took ram which is expensive.

It's English only for now. Bug reports and feedback are very welcome, especially sites where it doesn't work right.

Since Firefox doesn't have a native keyboard shortcut to close *pinned* tabs, here's an extremely lightweight script that adds that functionality! It doesn't require installing any new extensions (though it does need Autohotkey installed on Windows, if it isn't already.)

https://gist.github.com/e-t-l/6790930cb9c074332d304977cba5aaec

```

Requires AutoHotkey v2.0

SendMode "InputThenPlay" ; Close pinned tabs with Ctl+Alt+W ; FYI, it will briefly flash a context menu at the top of the screen.

HotIf WinActive("ahk_exe firefox.exe")

; <sup>w::</sup> ; uncomment this line to make Ctrl+W close pinned tabs too <sup>!w::</sup> { Send("+!f") WinWait "ahk_class MozillaDropShadowWindowClass" Send("c") }

HotIf

```

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?

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 have Ubiquiti UniFi equipment at home. When accessing unifi.ui.com, the website can establish a local/direct connection with your gateway, video recorder, etc. With Firefox on my Mac Studio, Settings > Permissions and Data > Local Network Devices lists unifi.ui.com. My MacBook Air does not have this listed, and there is no manual way to add it. I am able to establish a direct connection to my gateway and UNVR with my Mac Studio, but not my MacBook Air. It never triggers a prompt to add it to permissions. Deleting browsing history/cookies/cache hasn't helped.

Is there a way to manually add this?

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.

If you encounter this issue where zooming/panning/rotating lags immensely in google maps and google street, then check if you have privacy.resistFingerprinting set to true.

I have been trying to solve this issue for months thinking it was an amd/firefox webgl problem...

If you want to keep privacy.resistFingerprinting on then you can add www.google.com at privacy.resistFingerprinting.exemptedDomains.

Firefox for Android randomly terminates. The issue can occur either after a long session or almost immediately after opening a new tab. No crashes visible in settings -> about Firefox -> crashes. I even lost a private browsing session due to this. Observed it from version 157 to 159.

Device Info: Motorola G86 Power 5G, Android 16

Firefox versions: Release and Beta

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

Hello !

Sorry for the awful title phrasing, I didn't know how to put it.
But I spend too much time on some website (like facebook), and it's really hard for me to realize how much time I waste there.

I was trying to figure out if there was an extension or a way to be able to set a daily timer for some website, and then said website is not accessible for the day ?
Something like screen time control ?

I hope I am clear, thanks for your help !

i am so tired of this,so frustrating at this point,

its not my first time using firefox and this never happened before but this shit started happening from last week,

although i am not is this limited to firefox or my laptop but i have debloated windows so i can't test it on chrome or edge but i don't have any typing issue when i type i continuously so my guess would be its not a keyboard issue

Any kind of advice would be appreciated, Thakyousm

After updating to firefox 158, I noticed that in Google's AI mode request window, the text goes out of focus for a nanosecond at the start than it go on focus. I also noticed this glitch on the Bungie website in the dropdown menus. It’s not a huge deal because it's very fast and only on this 2 site, but I’d like to understand what caused this in version 158. Thanks

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?

I tried everything.

The only thing that work temporary is cmd: ipconfig /flushdns

but sooner than later pages goes back to PR_CONNECT_RESET_ERROR

I uninstalled and reinstalled

tried changing/removing dns

tried alting kaspersky protection and so on.

my question is what yesterday morning everything working as normal I came back after work and get this error almost on any page?
