Firefox

Is there anything like that? Most of these banners are invasive and I generally decline all by default, besides necessary ones.

I have "I don't care about cookies" extension on desktop, although it doesn't really fix it most of the times. Also, some sites keep showing them if I navigate through it or refresh the page.

But for Android I couldn't manage to find any extension for it.

Is anyone aware of any?

I have a bad habit of clicking on links before checking the source. This plugin gives me peace of mind while shunning the fallen one. Hopefully in the near future, appending 'lemmy' to google searches will prove just as fruitful. Until then I guess I will just grit my teeth and bear it. I find it's worth the hassle.

I want to sync things between 2 computers and apparently the only way to do this is to login to Firefox. Preferably I want to avoid tracking and stuff but sometimes it’s just a bit inconvenient. Is Mozilla trustworthy in terms of privacy with logging in, like data sales, especially data breach with passwords?

Hello! My first Lemmy account was on lemmy.one, but I later changed to lemmy.world because lemmy.one disabled downvotes. I've used lemmy.world much more than lemmy.one now, but whenever I type in my address bar le it autocomplete it with lemmy.one. how can I change this behavior making it suggest lemmy.world instead of lemmy.one? I'd rather not remove all lemmy.one entries from my history...

thanks in advance!

Whenever I accidentally scroll too far left or right in Firefox, it goes back or forth in my history, which is very annoying. How could I disable this?

EDIT: Fixed it by disabling the gestures. Thanks @sudotstar@kbin.social!

Extension to make it easy to interact with different Lemmy communities

I use Fedora on a laptop with touchscreen.

Some months ago, I could pinch to zoom on the screen (and on touchpad?). But now, touching the screen only marks the text.

Does anyone know what happened, and how to enable pinch to zoom in firefox? I think it may have happened after updating to newest Fedora version 38. I use Gnome DE with wayland enabled.

One feature I'd love to see on Firefox for Android is the ability to resize the fonts per site. There's a general font resizing option that affects all sites, but it'd be great if there was an ability to have different setting per site. Sometimes making font sizes larger on one site will end up making other sites too large, and when lessening the size on some sites, makes them too small to read on others.

I use Firefox for Android Beta, which means I can install a wider set of addons than Stable. I've tried Zoom Page WE on Firefox for Android, but it doesn't work, which is a pity.

I suppose I should be putting this as a feature request at Mozilla, but thought I'd just air my thoughts here. Anyone know of any plans to introduce this sort of thing in future versions?

Crashes instantly after startup :/. Safe-Mode doesn't help.

I suspect it could have something to do with MESA; my gfx card is a bit oldish and had some trouble with newer applications. But SuperTuxKart and most games still do run, so this assumption is a bit shallow to go out and start to kick around my gfx-drivers.

Do you guys have any idea how to fix it? Using Chromium feels bad ;/. Setting up SeaMonkey right now, it works - at least for now.

I am using the Experimental API in my private Firefox extension.

So far, I've been using Firefox 102 ESR, but I'm planning to switch to Firefox ESR 115. There's already a Firefox 115 Beta available, so I've started testing it with my private extension.

So far, I've been using internal Firefox functions like loadOneTab and loadURI and it worked very well.

I used the loadOneTab function like this:

const placesURL = "chrome://browser/content/places/places.xhtml";
		window.gBrowser.loadOneTab( placesURL, {
			inBackground: false,
			allowThirdPartyFixup : true,
			relatedToCurrent : true,
			triggeringPrincipal : services.scriptSecurityManager.getSystemPrincipal()
		} );

But the loadOneTab function no longer exists at all in Firefox's internal API. What should I replace it with?

I found the function _createTab:

// window.gBrowser._createTab({ uriString: placesURL });

But the _createTab function returns an error:

Uncaught Error: UserInteraction with id "browser.tabs.opening" was not initialized

...I guess this is by security to make this function called only by user action? And I call this function inside async function.

Is it somehow possible to open a new tab from the Experimental API in Firefox 115 beta?
I need this very badly. Really very much.

I used the loadURI function like this:

window.gBrowser.selectedBrowser.loadURI(linkGo, {triggeringPrincipal: Services.scriptSecurityManager.getSystemPrincipal()});

The loadURI function appears to still be available in Firefox's internal API, but returns an error like this:

TypeError: 'uri' member of CancelContentJSOptions is not an object. RemoteWebNavigation.sys.mjs:28:41

How to overcome this error?

Are there datasaving options available like extentions for android?

Firefox vs Chrome in 2023? Which one is better?

Cada vez que paso por mi ex departamento en Buenos Aires encuentro merchandising de @firefox y @mozilla que fui guardando.

I've assigned domain names using a custom TLD to my home servers for ease of access.

When I put, say proxmox.server, in my address bar, it searches the web. To avoid that behavior, I have to specify http://proxmox.server.

I want Firefox to recognize .server as a valid TLD. I've searched the web to no avail, so that's why I'm writing this.

I came across this post in Stack Exchange, but the method described (ie, network.IDN.whitelist.server) doesn't work.

Does anybody know how can I add a custom domain to Firefox?

I am not satisfied with just the letter generated image for custom pinned sites... So when you add custom image urls for your pinned websites.. why are they always blank? Is there some requirement I am missing?

It's annoying as shit

Dark Reader ~~Pro~~ seems to be the best but I feel it slows down page load time. Is there a better alternative?

Anyone notice when on Lemmy and you go to choose some setting from the drop-down (Active, New, Old, Hot, etc) when using Firefox of Android, that the selection menu starts to flicker? I can select from it, but it does seem to interfere a bit doing so. Anyone else?

Might be the effects of that bug that's causing Lemmy to constantly scroll new posts that's going to be fixed in the next Lemmy update (0.18).

This is the latest Firefox for Android Beta, running on a Pixel 7 with Android 13.

Edit: Actually, this seems to also happen on desktop Firefox (stable on Linux), just maybe not as noticeable.

In the past couple of days both Pipewire (and with it libcamera) support and hardware video decoding with V4L2-M2M landed for Firefox to work better on Linux smartphones, which development for has started to grow exponentially in the last months. Great news overall for the future of the mobile platform!

the last time I remember I received a firefox notification it was using the native notification (i'm using KDE, I also have the KDE integration addon) yesterday I received a notification from lemmy, and this is how they appear, in the center of the screen and... very ugly. what changed? is there a way to get back the native notification?

(you can check how your notification works here)

EDIT: in about:config page, alerts.useSystemBackend is set to true, but still it does not use the native notification

I wasn't sure where else to post this, since well, reddit is down and also in the middle of a blackout that I'm participating in. I did a quick google search "firefox nightly down" but nothing useful popped up. crazy how inefficient information searching becomes when you can't use reddit lol

I'm getting these crashes on 2 devices - my OnePlus 8T (Nameless13) and my Surface Duo 1 (Android 12). I was using both fine earlier this morning, went for a walk, and I can't open either.

Sometimes it immediately closes when I try to open, and sometimes I get the actual "Firefox Nightly keeps stopping" crash

Anyone experiencing the same thing or have any idea what's going on? I have no idea where else to look. I checked the app store reviews & sorted by most recent, but didn't see any bad review about it not working except for 1 yesterday

Edit: I just installed normal Firefox app and it launches fine. Also same issue whether on wifi or data

Edit 2: Still happening, and got an error trying to copy the crash url

Edit 3, a week later: All fixed, a few days after I reported this it fixed on its own :) sorry for those I didn't see your comment on
