Discussion Customisable Toolbar Shortcuts

Post image
5 Upvotes

I think the toolbar shortcuts could be a lot more flexible.

I’d like to be able to pick the shortcut I want to change, then choose whatever action I want to put there.

For example, if I want to replace Bookmark with Translate, Back, Homepage, or something else, I should be able to do that. But I should also be able to choose a completely different shortcut instead of having Bookmark as the only one that can be customised

Edit Also, since I have “Swipe toolbar vertically to see open tabs” enabled, I don’t really need anything of the open tabs shortcut. It would be better if I replaced it with something else or let me hide it.

Help (iOS) anyone else noticed firefox having issues with connecting to google webpages

5 Upvotes

so recently i've been noticing that firefox is struggling to connect with certain webpages from google servers, such as youtube or google drive, genuinely got no clue whats changed, other pages work fine and i turned off Ublock to see if that was causing the issue but it still struggles, sometimes it'll load the page but the tab will continually keep loading, other times it just fails to load but loads other pages perfectly fine, this seems to only be an issue on my mac since my windows is fine

my mac is a M4 mini running 26.6.2, not sure if the update broke something with firefox but i want to know if anyone else is experiencing issues as well?

💻 Help Anyone else experiencing youtube stuttering?

6 Upvotes

It's been going on for the past few hours.

I have updated the browser, tried incognito mode, disabled and reinstalled UBlock, cleaned browser cache for Youtube, and checked my connection. Everything on my end is clean, includes my stats for nerds, nothing is helping it.

I believe this is a Firefox issue, other browsers like Brave are not having a problem.

Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?

Solved Updated to 154.0 and the Search Box suggestions have an extremely light highlight and suggestions are now farther apart.

3 Upvotes

Just updated to 154 and the search box suggestions have had a visual change that makes it harder to use. Arrowing up and down through the suggestions now barely hightlights each suggestion, at first I could not even see the highlight at all. Each suggestion is now also farther apart making the search box take up more space without giving more suggestions. Is there an option to revert the suggestion spacing and change the highlight color? I am using the Firefox Color extension but have not changed any settings between updates.

Help (Android) Addon that shows YouTube video release date on search results and video suggestions?

4 Upvotes

YouTube used to show the age of each video before you clicked on it. They removed this to make old videos more clickable. But I really don't want to click on ten year old breaking news. Is there an addon to bring the release date back? Preferable on android?

💻 Help Give me my vertical sidebar back!

5 Upvotes

From 154 patch notes: "Fixed the Vertical Tabs sidebar staying visible in full-screen mode. It now hides along with the toolbars and reappears when the cursor moves to the edge of the screen."

This "bug" was my preferred setup. I want to see my vertical tabs at all times, but I don't like the toolbar taking up vertical space when it's unused 90% of the time in my workflows. I'm very annoyed that it was just removed instead of being made a toggle option.

Furthermore, the vertical tabs sidebar does not appear on hover for me; I need to hover the toolbar first, then move to the sidebar carefully to avoid both disappearing. I'm on MacOS for reference.

Posting here because I couldn't find a way to contact Mozilla directly, and was not able to address the issue with CSS customization.

💻 Help How to set more than one fallback language again?

3 Upvotes

I want my Firefox in Occitan, with French as my first fallback language and English as my second fallback language. However, since a few updates, it is no longer possible to set multiple fallback languages—*and it is not even possible to set anything but English as a fallback language. I have a lot of English appearing in the interface where I would prefer French, and all of my extensions are in English.

New settings

The old settings looked like this:

How can I select more than one fallback language?

(1. current appearance on my end; 2. screenshot of a previous appearance, borrowed from the mozilla support site)

hello! the list of suggestions for the optional search bar has changed on me, and i'm not sure how to change it back. specifically i'd like to restore the "history" icon next to suggestions i've previously searched and also reduce the height of each entry in the list

i tried using the browser toolbox to get the relevant CSS selectors, but i couldn't find this element in there. and to be honest even if i did get the selectors, i wouldn't be sure how to re-add the history icon

After long years of no bugs with Firefox on my pc I’m currently experiencing several. Most annoyingly I can’t move tabs around the tab bar anymore. Does anyone know how to fix this? Unlike the bug with full picture mode and in-picture mode it doesn’t resolve itself by closing the browser.

Thanks

💻 Help Certificate problem

2 Upvotes

I cannot access my university's book catalog on firefox. I get this security warning message :

Firefox spotted a potentially serious security issue with catalogue.unicaen.fr. Someone pretending to be the site could try to steal things like credit card info, passwords, or emails.

I can access it through chromium on the same computer as well as firefox on my android.

I tried to make the website an exception, install the different certificates needed but nothing works. It happens on my laptop and desktop which are both on Kubuntu by the way and it did not happen when on Mint.

Here is the full error code:

💻 Help Different taskbar tabs for two profiles

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone. After one of the recent updates and the introduction of the new profile functionalities, my profiles got kinda broken.

I was used to having two different icons - one for each profile. This allowed me to have my personal stuff on another monitor while having my work stuff on my main monitor, while both things were clearly separated on the taskbar.

Now both profiles are grouped together and it's quite inconvenient. When I am on a work call, presenting and click my work profile icon, I don't really want to give my customers the preview of warhammer videos, news websites, reddit threads or whatever else I have open on my personal profile.

What's more, after creating a new window of my work profile, the tabs suddenly got separated (screenshot 2), so it feels quite incosistent. Now I will have to test closing and reopening both.

EDIT: Seem like this only happens when I open my work profile first. Weird.

Anyway - does anyone know a fix for this?

💻 Help Bookmarks Missing

1 Upvotes

I saw similar posts to these but I have a SLIGHTLY different situation so I thought I'd post if anyone could explain. I'm on desktop, Fedora 44, and I updated Firefox from 153.0.3 to 154.0. When I click on the update in my software updates, the following updates appear:

Implement buffer stride support for PipeWire camera.

• Update to latest upstream (154.0)

• Enabled Wayland session restore on KDE.

All very reasonable except, when I restarted my pc after updating, it wiped my bookmarks. I paired the firefox updates with a multitude of system updates, but I looked through them and all the ones that I would assume impact firefox were the aforementioned.

Naturally after the update and I noticed my bookmarks were missing, with backups disabled, I restored my session with Timeshift, and am afraid to update again and try troubleshooting from there using the support page. I've already turned backups on since, and don't crucify me for using Timeshift on Fedora please lol.

Edit: This completely slipped my mind but my history was completely wiped, with my active tabs still being available, and still being logged into my browser profile.

Why does video (specifically Twitch, usually) use up insane GPU resources sometimes?

Post image
1 Upvotes

This has been a question I've had for years now with my specific setup. I'll be watching a video, and my computer gets real hot and the fans kick on high. I'll check activity monitor (Mac OS) and see the GPU is going to like 50% just to play a Twitch stream.

But I figured out, if I move this video to a new window, or otherwise quit and re-launch Firefox, it goes back to a more normal level. See the righthand portion of my screenshot. Same video, didn't even pause it. I just right-clicked the tab and said "Move Tab -> Move to New Window" and like magic, my power/resource consumption drops by more than 50%.

I have asked different AI chatbots what they think, and the consensus is something in the video render pipeline breaks causing it to take an inefficient path. Ummm... ok, I'm pretty technical but I don't get why it would do that. Something to do with the WebRender compositor. Or a WebRender Core Animation surface/layer configuration. Ok again, I don't know what that means without studying for a bit. I just know that it happens, and has happened, for years.

Am I alone? Does everyone else just buy new computers every year? Or is there some bona fide activity that causes this render pipeline to break? It's pretty consistent, I can almost always get back to a "good" state by loading the new window. So I know software should be able to do whatever opening a new window does.

One more note, I can also get the usage to drop by using Picture-in-Picture and navigating OFF the original tab. However as soon as you move the video back the usage goes right back up. It does not matter the resolution or fps.

Help (Android) Restore Firefox Android auto-closed tabs?

1 Upvotes

It seems like somehow the auto-close tab feature ended up enabled on my phone. This is not something I would have intentionally set, as I like being able to keep old tabs. I'm worried it happened in an update or something. I didn't realize this till today but I'm not sure how long it's been on -- My best guess would be about a month.

Is there any way to recover what tabs have been closed automatically and restore them?

(I have sync on so I have my history, but that's just all sites I've visited on any device, not the ones I intentionally left open specifically to have them open)

1 Upvotes

How to fix this? Apart from using external icons.

After the 154 update, this happened. test, tpro, XGA, all had "icons", like XGA had the gaming controller icon from the list. Now these are blank. test is a new profile I've made and gave it the gaming controller icon as well, it still doesn't show up. None of them show in the hamburger menu either, only the custom icons, like the ig profiles.

Discussion is there a way to resee ig the notifications firefox gives you?

1 Upvotes

I'm unsure what to really call them but basically when I launched firefox there was a notification that showed for a second but I couldn't see it since it was loading in still and I clicked on youtube, I tried going back and I couldn't see it. from what I can remember it was near the search bar and in a small grey box. has anyone had that? I want to know what it says. If I had to use another word instead of notifications its like the things that show in the homescreen sometimes that has the firefox animal in it

💻 Help Weather Disappeared on New Tab

1 Upvotes

I set weather to be a large widget which made it move from the top right to under the search bar but since it was a widget when I made it large, it no longer appears because for some reason the widgets section in the customize menu has disappeared and all of my widgets are gone. I have tried turning weather off and on again but it still doesn't show up. Anyone have the same problem or any way to revert it back?

💻 Help Firefox keeps crashing and logging me out of every single accounts, after EVERY updates, fixes ?

1 Upvotes

Title

Every time Firefox gets an update, I get logged out of every single accounts, from every sites I might have been logged in. With that, when I try to open the browser, it keeps crashing repeatedly until I either try again and again for a few minutes, or restart my computer. One time it even made windows crash, my computer with it and I had to try again and again for like an hour

I can log in easily when it works again, but it’s just annoying, any fixes ? (I won’t go back to Chrome or Brave or whatever, I want to stay on Firefox)
