Is anyone else having Firefox hang when enabling the Addon - Google Search Fixer? Every so often I no longer will be able to do anything on the tab. I have to close tab and open a new tab then search again....

I know there are addons, but would be nice to have something native built in instead of having to trust an addon. Current method without addons that I know of is creating a container then deleting it, but that's not as convenient and pretty cumbersome....

Most of the things on the internet relate to laptop users wanting to force firefox to use integrated graphics. I have a 3070ti and a 1660S and I want firefox to only use the 1660S for processing....

Maybe you are already a Firefox user, we are part of a minority on the web today, and think that this text is not for you. You’re probably right, but I’d like to make a few points here and ask for your help in taking the web back before it’s too late. And if you don’t use Firefox, you’ve been using some version of...

Specifically, when you open a reasonable number of tabs in any browser, the tabs look like this. However, as my friend has just imported all of his tabs and bookmarks over from Chrome to Firefox, he has an immense number of tabs open right now; in Chrome, he can see all the tabs at once with its UI.

The Joy of Coding returns today with Episode 331! I'm going to be livehacking on Firefox, maybe reviewing some patches, but hopefully (finally!) working on those GTest tests for the new off-main-thread Windows Jump List backend we've built!...

May and June were good months for Firefox's Speedometer performance compared to Chrome. We're closing in while Chrome seems fairly static. In this visualization, lower in the graph is better. From https://arewefastyet.com/win10/benchmarks/overview?numDays=60.

Is Firefox ESR more stable? Uses less memory? Have you tried it?

Faster debugging, ignoring lines of source, and more

Looks like the cookie banner blocker, originally scheduled for Firefox 114, didn’t make it into today’s Firefox 115 either. Brave and DuckDuckGo already block cookie banners....

Just wanted to write down my appreciation for the "Firefox Translations" extension and make people who might find it useful, but missed its announcement, aware of it....

I think this was the last piece of the puzzle for more reliable downloads. Sites like Mega that use this won’t have much to complain about in the near future.

Starting July 11, 2023, Pocket users will be prompted to transition to a Firefox account in order to log in and access their Pocket account. Aside from changing how you log in to Pocket, this does not affect your saved items. While optional at first, the transition to a Firefox account in order to log in will be required by...

A comprehensive mapping of old subreddits to new communities.

This might be a little late for this year, but we can definitely start playing with some ideas for next year (or maybe we can run the logo next month)....

Let's take advantage of the fact that we are so small! Say hi and tell us how you started using Firefox!
