I just downloaded Tor browser (which is a configured Firefox browser BTW) using the torbrowser-launcher that automatically downloads and manages the browser. And I thought for funs sake, checking and comparing some tests from browseraudit against my current personal Firefox setup. And to my surprise I got more warnings with Tor Browser v14.5 (based on Mozilla Firefox 128.9.0esr) vs My personal setup of Firefox Browser v137.0.2 (custom configurations and plugins installed). Both at the most up to date version in their official version.

I just found this interesting and wanted to share with you.

The 12 step 2 factor login process 4 times a day really pisses me off. ESPECIALLY that last screen where you are logged in but it makes you press another NEXT as punishment for not staying logged in all the time.

Really super annoying how they are using such manipulative behaviour to punish those who protect their privacy

I find Firefox Translator doesn't pick up a lot of pages. The location bar button doesn't appear.

It works if I access via the hamburger menu. It is very slow to have to go via the menu for each individual page. I find no shortcut key or anything.

Sometimes this will correctly guess the original language but often not. It is saying pages are English even when they have little to no english, even using different alphabets.

Is there something the website admins can do to tell firefox what language it is? Encoding? Meta tag?

Can I force the location-bar translate button to persist on all pages regardless of what language it thinks the page is in? Then I could save going through the menu.

Here is an example: https://cn.chinadaily.com.cn/

Latest nightly builds of Firefox 139 include an experimental web link preview feature which shows (among other things) an AI-generated summary of what that page is purportedly about before you visit it, saving you time, a click, or the need to ‘hear’ a real human voice.

Summary

We have rewritten over 600 JavaScript event handlers to mitigate XSS and other injection attacks in the main Firefox user interface. This mitigation will ship in Firefox 138. However, blocking the execution of scripts in the parent process is not the end - we will expand this technique to other contexts in the near future. There is still more work to do as the UI requires JavaScript APIs with a high level of privileges. However: We still eliminated a whole class of attacks, significantly raising the bar for attackers to exploit Firefox. In fact, we hopefully just broke someone’s exploit chain.

Just the title

I can search in the bookmarks section and see some bookmarks that I want to remove, but can't select them while in the bookmark search results.

Is there any way to select multiple bookmarks based on a name or link and delete them?

I do know that I can do it by syncing to a PC and deleting it from there, but asking to see if there are alternatives ways.

How do(or how would) you handle this issue?

I don't know what to do. I've tried searching through google and all the answers don't seem to work. When I use Firefox (this is librewolf but it's the same on Firefox), games like Tetr.io or Friday Night Funkin lag real bad but they're buttery smooth on Chrome or Chromium. I have an iGPU and a "Cedar" AMD GPU according to lspci. Someone please help me, I don't wanna use Chromium just to get good performance. Please tell me if I need to provide more information.

I don't think it was there until I enabled firefox sync. I'd like to remove what is inside the red box. Does anyone know how to do that?

I disable animations either through Gnome's accessibility setting or KDE's slider to instant. I find that Gnome's animations are just too slow by default and KDE's tend to be janky. So while I want my window manager to have instant animations, I don't need my applications to do so.

Is it possible to disable the animations from the DE's settings but to keep them like normal in Firefox? Example: when I press ctrl+t it's OK if the new tab has an animation when it's created in the browser's UI.

Edit: I found it it occurred somehow when remapping modifiers with my keyd configuration. I remapped it to CTRL ALT ] and it works now.

It says on https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/about-picture-picture-firefox#w_keyboard-shortcuts that the hotkey to toggle PiP is CTRL Shift ]. When I play a video it shows the PiP button, but the hotkey doesn't work. The other PiP keys like seeking and volume work. I'm on Fedora 41 with KDE 6.3.3 & Wayland.

Right now when you go to settings and click on the cell for a search engine under the keyword column, it shows a text box for me to add keywords to use in the URL bar. You can't do so for bookmarks, tabs, or history which are locked to * % and ^ respectively.

This bug is driving me crazy. Watching videos in fullscreen does not inhibit the screensaver/sleep settings on Linux. Whenever I try to stream a movie in fullscreen, my screensaver kicks in at the appointed time, as if I'm just idle.

This bug has been around forever. This seems to be the active entry on Bugzilla.

I LOVE Firefox, and it's a great browser for using on my Linux HTPC. For my purposes, it's much better than Brave. But you know which browser doesn't have this problem on Linux? I'm sorry to say... it's Brave.

I've tried different versions of Firefox: Flatpak, ESR, Trunk. They all have the same problem. When I open them from nothing, they often work great. I can watch a movie fine. But then I close out the movi

There are a number of FF versions and forks that this will work with, but I used FF Beta (I've also confirmed it to work with FF Nightly & Iceraven. Conversely, it did not work for Mull and iirc, it cannot be done using FF Standard Release/Stable)

• Step 1 - have the CRX file for the Chrome extension handy. There are countless Chrome extensions and FF add-ons that will extract it for you.

• Step 2 - install the CRX Installer add-on (or get the XPI file by whatever means) →Extensions→Click CRX Installer→click "Browse"→ select the CRX file*, which should result in the creation of an XPI file.

• Step 3 - go to Settings→About Firefox Beta (or Nightly, Iceraven, etc)→Tap the logo at the top of the "About" section until you see a toast message saying "Debug Menu enabled" (I think 5 taps)

• Step 4 - navigate to "
