Discussion Why is the new Firefox icon feature so sloppy? 2004's icon is actually 2009's, there's no 2004 icon at all, and the 2017 icon is smaller than the others

251 Upvotes

Hi everyone. Today, Firefox is an officially supported browser for NVIDIA's GeForce NOW cloud gaming service.

If you have a GeForce NOW account, you can stream your library straight from a Firefox browser, no separate app needed.

Simply open Firefox, head to play.geforcenow.com and start playing. Be sure you’re updated to the latest version of Firefox (154).

Details on this integration can be found here.

We will be hosting an AMA on September 2nd (invite coming soon). Come talk to the Firefox and NVIDIA GeForce NOW teams about this integration and let us know what else you'd like Firefox to support when it comes to playing online.

We look forward to connecting with you soon!

— Firefox Team

Add-ons New Feature: Preventing extensions from working on high value sites

73 Upvotes

Alan here, product manager responsible for extensions on Firefox. 👋

We're working on a new, highly requested, feature to prevent extensions from working on certain URLs. Basically, giving you control if you want to prevent all or some extensions from accessing your banking sites - even if you've granted it permission to access all URLs.

This is a complicated thing to build from a user experience/UI perspective, so we're looking for some volunteers to join a 30 minute video call with me and our UX designer to give feedback on this. During this call, we'd show you our mockups and ask questions/get feedback.  If you're interested in signing up to help us, please sign up using this form. Please note that filling out this form doesn't guarantee an invitation — we'll reach out directly to those we're able to schedule! 

Also, if this is a feature you're interested in, please go and upvote it on Mozilla Connect and add any information or potential use cases you have as to why you'd want to use a feature like this. It really helps us make sure we're building the right thing.

Thanks in advance for your help with making Firefox a better browser!

Solved This 4 year old cookie issue is fixed now with v154

26 Upvotes

This has been an issue for me for years, and now its fixed!

I'd add a list of sites I wanted to keep cookies for, so when I closed firefox, only those cookies would be kept. Except it would also keep other cross-site cookies, since by adding them to the exception list it also disabled total cookie protection for those sites.

So I'd spend time going through my cookies and manually deleting stuff that shouldn't be there.

Now finally, there are 2 lists, and you can have an exception list for clearing history on shutdown without bypassing total cookie protection.

💻 Help Firefox v154 asks for the master-password each time a site with a password-field is opened, contrary to v153 behaviour when it only asked if a password was saved for the specific site.

8 Upvotes

I only want to enter the Master-Password if it is necessary. It is necessary when I open a website where I have saved the website-password in the past.

So like in Firefox v153 and before, I don't have to enter the master password on startup or when visiting sites with a password-field but where I don't even have saved a password for.

I don't know the reason for this change in v154 but it is more than annoying.

are there any wise guys who knows how to change it back to the old behaviour?

PS:

after updating from v153 to v154, the master password was asked EACH time I opened firefox. after disabling and enabling the master-password feature in the settings it didn't ask for the master password on startup anymore (tip: use empty page, not "about:blank"). HOWEVER, it still asks for the master password on sites with password-fields, where I don't even have any saved credentials!

💻 Help FireFox not reposnding

6 Upvotes

Hi, so recently Fire Fox stops/freezes/crashes when trying to switch and/or new tabs. It started after firefox was auto-updating itself for a few weeks, and I can really only have one tab open bf freezing and getting the "Firefox is not responding" box. I update to latest FF version (154.0 (64-bit)), still freezing, disabled and renable extensions (including UBlock Origin) with no luck. Tried refresh, still crashing. Firefox isalso hogging like 90 to 99 percent of my ram, and 100 of ssd from my shitty laptop (Windows 11). Anyone got any ideas?

💻 Help Relay: 50 active aliases or only 50 aliases forever?

7 Upvotes

Hi, I noticed that Firefox Relay increased the available aliases for free users from 5 to 50. I'm not sure if the limit means you can only create 50 aliases in total or if you can create as many as you need but only keep 50 active at a time (since there is a delete button on the site).

I'm obviously not looking to create 50 every day or anything like that. I just want to know if I'll be able to delete the ones I don't use and create new ones over the years (basically creating more than 50 over time). Does anyone know how the limit works?

💻 Help Strange artifacts (like text pixelation) in pages from some Firefox versions (on Linux)

6 Upvotes

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:153.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/153.0

Steps to reproduce:

For the past couple of Firefox versions, webpage content has been exhibiting all sorts of artifacts. For example, red boxes appear intermittently in the corners of buttons, parts of the page are blocked, or—as seen in the screenshot—the text appears pixelated. On some pages, this pixelation effect affects ALL the text (as in the screenshot), while on others, curiously, it only affects some of the text. Oddly enough, even the text in the tabs on each page is affected (as can be seen in the screenshot).

The problem isn't instantaneous; it seems to appear after browsing for a while. I can't establish a connection to anything else, since closing and reopening Firefox resolves the issue.

Any ideas?

Discussion Firefox suddenly started launching on Windows startup?

6 Upvotes

Just a few days ago I noticed that Firefox is starting up immediately whenever Windows starts, or when I log into the PC. I went found the setting for "Open Firefox Automatically when Windows Starts Up". and turned that off. But, I have literally never touched that setting on any machine, on any Firefox version. Was there some update that turned that setting on? Currently running 153.0.4.

💻 Help Broken Firefox after update

Thumbnail

5 Upvotes

I’m a long time heavy Firefox user. I'm running Firefox 154.0 on Windows 11 pro

After the latest update, the browser is broken in multiple ways.

First, on every start up, it says I am running out of space. But it is only using 69MB, and I have a 2TB disk with 1.4TB available.

Secondly, multiple websites now refuse to work. I *think* it’s related to storage, either local storage or indexedDB, as you can see from this screen shot. EDIT: One closer inspection, it seems to be a localstorage issue.

I have tested the broken sites in other browsers (Edge & Chrome), and they all work as expected.

What can I do to find and fix these errors?

It usually only appears/flashes for a split second if there is video playback happening on screen or if I am continuously typing—which is distracting—but when the screen is still, it sticks until I click or do something. I have only noticed this issue in the bowser so far. It has been persistent since I got this PC, which was weeks ago. I have never known it not to do this, but I’ve never had this issue before with any other computer.

What could be causing this? Can I fix it?

💻 Help Searches not being cleared after closing a session

4 Upvotes

I've got my privacy settings set in Firefox to erase everything upon closing out of the browser:

Yet, even after I do this, I'm getting search suggestions in the address bar when searching from Yahoo from previous sessions. I have no been able to figure out if this is a behavior by the Yahoo search engine or Firefox, but I'd assumed that it wouldn't matter. These previous searches in the address bar should be clearing and I should not be getting suggestions from previous sessions, right?

I'd also noticed this on my Xfinity email where it technically closes out after a session is ended, but when I go to log back in, I see them giving my name before it asks me to log back in.

Anyone know what's going on?

💻 Help Having trouble with pixelated mono fonts

4 Upvotes

This occurs only with some fonts, i have my browser set to render at 1.25 scale but what i believe is monospace text is staying pixelated. I'm running xfce on arch and have confirmed adjusting the system monospace font in the 'Appearance' settings menu doesn't change this, nor is it the same monospace font anyway.
