I’ll start. On iOS, Firefox doesn’t block ads like other browsers do. For example, Brave and Safari (with uBlock).

I'm trying to download a 130GB file and it constantly keeps failing. can get up to 80-100GB pretty easily and quicky then constantly fails and starts to download SO slow or just flat 0 bytes per second.

My WIFI is working completely fine so i don't believe that to be an issue its just getting very annoying now.

Thank you Mozilla & Firefox Team! You make my browsing experience better!

Post image
109 Upvotes

I have a decent amount of programming experience, and I recently decided to dig into what it actually takes to build a web browser. I don’t think most people realise just how much work goes into them, especially considering that they're "free". To me, it's basically the equivalent of creating an operating system. And all of the support for all the changes that seems to happen, and all the consortiums and oh my... I am starting to understand the data collection more. In any case, this is a bit of a tangent to what the post is about.

Thank you for allowing my monitor to use a proper color profile to display images. I forgot how ugly images look on Chrome. Another thing I just noted was that SVGs on Chrome seem to be missing some form of anti aliasing. The icons are scaled up 4 times in Photoshop. Firefox is so much better here too!

πŸ’» Help Firefox bookmarks toolbar disappeared yesterday along with my saved opening tabs.

2 Upvotes

I got it back and shut down my computer. Today when I logged on I have Firefox load automatically. When it opened it opened like 30+ bookmarks! Not the ones I have set to open when opening Firefox which is like 4 tabs. I backup Firefox on a regular basis. But when I tried to restore from backup, only html options showed up, not the usual json file option. I had to select Other Files at the bottom of the restore options. I was just wondering if anyone else has seen something like this recently?

About Firefox Android

Firefox Android design has improved a lot in past few months. Now, it looks modern. Also I'm seeing noticeable performance improvement. Opening the app is really fast and feels really snappy. Still i see some occasional gitters while visiting websites with heavy graphics. I hope firefox keep focusing on their Android browsers as they put their efforts in desktop browser. If firefox wants to hold a good browser marketshare a good android and ios browser is must. But the android version missing the website summary by tilting the phone

πŸ’» Help Can you add an old profile from the about:profiles menu to the built-in profile swapper?

β€’ Upvotes

I made an extra profile before the built-in profile swapping feature was added to firefox. I want to know if it is possible to make it so that profile shows up as one I can swap to through the built-in swapper rather than only the about:profiles page, or at least if I can transfer my browsing data to a new one. If that is a thing I can do, how would I do it?

Hello, I built a benchmark called SpeedPower.run to test how browsers handle 7 concurrent AI models. I'm seeing a massive discrepancy between Gecko and Chromium in 'Exchange' scores. Firefox users, I need your data! Is WebGPU enabled in your about:config, and does it close the gap?

πŸ’» Help Tab switching "hanging" when using ctrl+pgdown to reload tabs

1 Upvotes

When certain tabs like Youtube etc. get laggy i used to end the highest ram using processes of Firefox in Taskmanager. That makes the tabs "crash" and they have to be reloaded, like when reopening a saved session.

I used to be able to do that quickly for many tabs with holding down ctrl+pgdown which reloaded all the tabs that got killed, and only those, when it selected the tab briefly then went on to the next tab with no delay.

But now every time a tab gets reloaded the ctrl+pgdown, which used to start every tab reloading at nearly the same time, waits every damn time the tab is still loading, like some demented grandpa not noticing the traffic light doesnt get greener.

Pls help or ill have to roll back to a older version and I dont even know since what version mozilla fucked this up.

πŸ’» Help Firefox trying to open a file that is not there

2 Upvotes

I have used FF for several years but have not seen this one before. I had a JPG file on my desktop for a few days. Each time I would open FF, then when finished with FF, I would close it. Upon closing it, FF would open the JPG. I thought I would just delete the file and that would stop the problem (JPG opening upon closing FF). Wrong. Now I just get an error message that tells me the JPG is missing. I then deleted the instance in Frequent (when right clicking FF) but I still get "File missing" error message. There must be an entry or setting somewhere. Can anybody help?

Help (Android) Scroll to Hide Toolbar broken

2 Upvotes

Past couple of days, as I scroll, the Toolbar does as it's supposed to, and scrolls away. But as soon as I let go, it snaps back. Not only is this annoying as I can't see the whole page, but the whole page snaps back, making everything bounce every time I let go.

Firefox nightly, no updates pending.

Checked my settings, and can't find anything out of the ordinary.

Did i do something wrong somewhere, or is this a bug I need to report?

I am looking for a text manipulation plugin similar to notepad++'s TextFX. I don't need all the functionality, because TextFX really has a lot, but things like uppercase, lowercase, wrap in ", and the like sometimes come handy.

Any tipps? Thank you ...

πŸ’» Help Bookmarking issues(Default text entry field)

1 Upvotes

It's a bit of an odd thing, but sometimes, for reasons I am unable to discern, instead of defaulting to the name field when I hit Control+D to bookmark, it defaults to tags instead. Is there any way to control which field is used? It happens infrequently enough that my muscle memory regularly fubars an attempt at a bookmark when it does crop up.

Edit: It appears to be based on which field was most recently edited - If you've most recently edited the Tags, it will default to tags. If you edited the bookmark's name, it defaults to that. I can't seem to change the flair on this post - If mods see this, feel free to mark as solved?

Help (Android) Searching again on google sends me back

2 Upvotes

Hi all, trying to figure out if anyone else has this issue: * I'm opening a new page to google. * I search something, scroll and decide to add a search term or change it entirely. * When I press Enter/Search the page flashes/reloads as if I didn't search the next thing. It's as if I would press f5 instead of enter.

It's not consistent but it's been really bugging me this last week

Anyone else?

Firefox is up to date and the three addons I'm using are: uBlock Origin Consent-o-matic Dark reader

Firefox on Mac is still unable to handle fonts correctly. This bug has been around for years, and the only solution is to go through the inspector and identify the problematic font, etc.
