Firefox

Shots fired 🔥

1. Open any website
2. Switch to another app and do literally anything
3. Go back to Firefox
4. Tab reloads for ~5s and wipes all form data

Poco F3 6GB
MIUI 14.0.9
Fennec 121.1
Battery saver: No restrictions
"media.aboutwebrtc.auto_refresh" - False

I doubt ram is an issue as there is always at least 1.7GB free. This bug has been occuring or a long time. 3 years old reddit post about it

Can I fix it myself or should I wait for it to get patched? I dont know if this is appropriate place to post this, but I cant use github

Вчера пытался перейти на Яндекс Браузер - не смог, к вечеру вернулся на @firefox.
А все из-за рекламы, которую Яндекс активно продвигает даже платным пользователям и заблочить её ни какими средствами не получается (половину плагинов удаляющих рекламу установить не возможно, приложение Adguard спокойно рекламу от Яндекс пропускает).

А #firefox хорошо, установил #ublockorigin и красота!

Thank you @firefox

A great video about the Manifest v3 and how Google is trying to make you view ads.

If you don't know about smart keywords, basically you can set phrases as shortcuts for specific bookmarks. I want a folder with all of my keywords synced, and that folder only. On each profile or account I have have whatever other folders and the placement of the folder with the keywords doesn't matter as long as they have the same name.

This means 123 is now beta and 122 giving the ability to visit ipv6 sites (which i am looking forward to) should be out soon. Then its just a matter of waiting for Fennec F-Droid to be built and released.

I can't seem to find any rhyme or reason to it. Sometimes the casting button just doesn't appear as an option. I first noticed when I tried to watch something that was a youtube video that's in 4:3 so my best guess was maybe that somehow had something to do with it but I tried various videos at different aspect ratios, frame rates, resolutions even different videos on the same youtube channel as where I has actually succesfully found the option presented.

This is probably happening for all sorts of video but I noticed it with youtube and did my testing there because that's where this extension works the most reliably and where I can be confident some other weird factors about how the website is setup aren't responsible for a video not being able to cast.

This has started happening a while ago (previously there was not perceptible delay) and luckily I don't have to visit HTTP sites very often but it is annoying and I would like to get rid of it.

I know HTTP is bad TYVM. I only use this HTTPS-only mode to forcibly upgrade to HTTPS whenever possible and be notified if it doesn't work.

Does anyone know why this is happening and how to disable it?

#Firefox @firefox@lemmy.world

Why does @firefox have to keep profiles hidden in "about:profiles" like they're illegal to have. It's quite literally the 1 feature stopping me from using it over Vivaldi. That and vertical tabs, of course

Everything worked perfectly as it always does.

Hello everyone.
I'm trying to style a web page to use Comic Sans. This has worked in the past as I have the font installed on my system (Fedora 38), and I know that Firefox can see it because it can be selected as an option for the default font:

However when I try to use it in CSS, it is not recognized:

I checked and other fonts are not affected:

I can't use the Impact font either. Both work under Chrome.
Does anyone have a clue about what could be going on?
Thanks

Teams apparently can't call when using Firefox

Teams also doesn't support multiple "work" accounts, so I had to boot up a laptop to accept the call. 🤷

TL;DR (From Android Authority)
• Mozilla responded to a review mentioning the lack of tablet UI optimization for Firefox on Android.
• Mozilla confirmed that its team is not working on optimizing the tablet experience at the moment.
• Mozilla did, however, say that it hopes to revisit tablet optimization when time and resources permit.

I have some questions regarding firefox sync please help regarding them

1 Do shortcuts sync between login between linux and android? If not is it in plan? 2 Same question regarding addons 3 Addons settings? I know it is not a thing now but in near future? 4 Collection on android? Will it arrive on pc (as it is not an option now)?

On both the standard version and Firefox Focus (both from Play Store), when ever I try and select text to copy the page jumps around erratically. Sometimes it selects all the text on the screen, sometimes it jumps to the top of the page.

It's become impossible to select any sections of text. Does anyone know if there is a fix for this?

thanks

Whenever I open Firefox, it always opens my old tabs from my last session that I've closed, even though the option is disabled in the settings. Anyone else have that problem?

I am using Firefox ESR on Linux. Does it make any sense to disable hardware acceleration for security reasons?

Whereas Firefox is open source, many hardware drivers, and most computer hardware are not. Enabling hardware acceleration in Firefox means using these non-open-source components, which could be a security risk. My impression is that bugs in drivers and hardware are able to cause far more damage than ones in userland software. Does this reasoning make sense?
