@Stanisable Ok, it is broken only when ProtonPass extension is set. Nothing surprising here, @protonmail is having a really good time nowadays breaking everything that once worked on each update.

@christophe @Stanisable Hi! We'll fix the issue in the next update of the extension. For the time being, please downgrade to 1.14.1 by reinstalling the browser extension and this should resolve the problem.
The patch with the fix has been submitted and we're waiting on Firefox to approve it.

'kriege' also is the imperative form of 'kriegen', which is unrelated to 'Krieg' and translates as 'to get'. But it's when you get something from someone.

When you get it yourself, it's holen (imperative 'hol', like on the poster).

So, to sum up, you could translate getfirefox.com to kriegfirefox.de

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 хорошо, установил и красота!

In times where it takes seconds to throw ur post into a translator at 0 costs and copy paste ur message below in english there is hardly any reason for not doing it.

I use english too so people understand me or I go to the german communities.

But now that the message has been translated in the comments it really shouln't be any problem at all :)

That’s from Mastodon, they’re just microblogging and tagging communities.

That particular use case doesn’t translate very well into Lemmy.

Question about Firefox's Add-On Facebook Container. I really appreciate the fact that Firefox works very hard for us to keep our privacy online. However, I've realized that the Facebook Container Extension Breaks a fair number of Websites, which tells me that Facebook Tracks something like 98% of all internet.

This morning I tried logging into the Mozilla Connect Website and I was surprised to see that the Facebook Container broke it also. I'm wondering one of two things: Either Mozilla now is using Facebook Trackers on their Website, or the Facebook Container Add-On has some bugs, and it breaks random Websites.

Anyone else come across similar issues? Is it in the realm of possibility that Mozilla actually uses Facebook Trackers on their Website themselves??

I just visited connect.mozilla.org via Firefox with FB Container enabled, and it looks normal to me.

BTW, I have ublock origin with filters for social media.

Cr8zy_Ivan OP ,

@cloudless Oh, interesting. I wonder what's making my Browser bug out. I do have a bunch of other Extensions as well. Perhaps there's an overlap and bugging of certain functions. Thanks cloudless!

After a bit of confusion, I found out why my was being laggy on some website despite me turning off Javascript.

Turns out I had set layers.acceleration.disabled while debugging V-Sync.

What this setting does is effectively disable hardware acceleration for a core component of page compositing; making everything laggy.

Mess with settings in a dedicated guinea profile people!

For those of us receiving email in multiple languages, it would be awesome to have Translate built in to Thunderbird. No sending your sensitive conversations to a corporate cloud, just a lean translation service running locally.

We've decided to make it a development priority for Q1 2024!

You'll be able to track the progress via this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1823007

But as always, we'll also keep you posted right here.

I wrote this blog post to inform the people I know who aren't as tech savvy or otherwise don't put any thought into their choice of browser. Another goal is to help get enough awareness on the topic and make sure it fails.

Is there a way to see how much memory each Firefox Add-On uses? I've tried to look into "about:processes", and "about:memory". The first one tells you the total amount of memory used by the Add-Ons, and the latter gives you a 30,000 page long report that I don't know how to make heads or tails of. I KNOW my Add-Ons are eating up a lot of memory. I want to know WHICH ones are eating up the most so I can know which ones I should maybe shut down. Ideally, I wouldn't shut any down because they are all geared toward productivity. But maybe I can prioritize some over others.

Is there an easy way to view this information? Something akin to the Chrome web browser?

Cr8zy_Ivan OP , (edited )

15 Upvotes (as of 2023-08-14), and no comments. This tells me this probably isn't a function readily available withing Firefox and that many of us are looking for the same thing and would want this function to be implemented... 🤔

How to see full URL when searching using Google in Firefox Nightly?

Right now I'm on 117.0a1 and I only see the search term in the url bar, which is improper.
Is there am about:config toggle for this.

Forgive if this is not going to be formatted well, I’m still very new here. Anyways

I run iOS 16 and Firefox 116. The problem is that sometimes all my tabs(even private one) randomly close. This is really annoying as I often open new tabs when skimming wikis. The only real answer I can think of is having too many tabs open, but this is ruled out since my most recent crash happend when I had 10 tabs opened. I really want to stop this from happening.

Thanks in advance!

Looking for a "Back Button" or a "Back Feature" that can bring me back to my previous position on a Webpage. Similarly to the Alt + Left Hotkey, I'm looking for a Hotkey that would bring me Back to my Previous "Views" or Previous "Positions", but on the same Page. For anyone who uses Visual Studio Code, I'm looking for that same "Back" feature. Perhaps there's a Firefox Add-On, or maybe even there's a built in feature to Firefox?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

According to …mozilla.org/…/keyboard-shortcuts-perform-firefox…Alt + Left arrow should work.

@shadowsrayn No. That is a standard Back button to go to your previously navigated page.

Help toggling top tab bar on firefox.

A while ago someone helped me to eliminate the top tab bar so i could just have my Tree Style Tab on the side. It works great but i was wondering if there was any way to make that a toggle? Cause sometimes I move my computer to a smaller monitor and the horizontal space that it takes can be inconvinient.

Here's the snippet for removing it in the first place:

/* hides the native tabs */ #TabsToolbar { visibility: collapse; }/* leaves space for the window buttons */ #nav-bar { margin-top: -30px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: -4px; }

Also, since i have you here, i couldn´t manage to create a floating o just an existing "three buttons" (like the minimize maximize and close buttons). So if you know about any one of those it´d be really helpful.

Thanks in advance !

spacegorilla OP ,

@Falmarri hey thanks man! if you dont mind I can´t manage to make the animation for the tabbar work. It seems to be something with the unicode values for the titlepreface* values but i dont really get along with css and/or unicode values so it´s not really going anywhere. Currently i have it set on U+200B wich seems to be the 'empty' value o smth but with that value the top bar just barely moves up when i activate Sidebery..

lovebug , to Firefox German

someone in the mood to confirm a bug with me? I think this is new. Seeing this with F115 (on linux) on a clean, new profile. The code didn't change.

I used to be able to listen to a big audio file in a streaming manner when loaded from goldfire/howler.js library.

The new behaviour is: firefox will download the whole file before starting to play.

Example: (25MB bytes down will occur) https://jsfiddle.net/ugnt03jo/1/ -> click Run in upper left to render html

  • if you have traffic stats on your system you'll see bytes trickling in the moment you render the html - not when you click the Play button. This is acknowledged in the devtools network-tab after it is fetched in full
  • until fetched in full, the Play button will not stream the audio file

lovebug OP ,

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1842432 is a regression introduced by https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1817997

I wonder how the fix at https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-esr115/rev/ea6e2e85fec6

-  if (aDuration.IsInfinite() && aDuration.IsPositive() > 0 && length >= 0 &&
+  if (aDuration.IsValid() && !aDuration.IsInfinite() &&
+      aDuration.IsPositive() && length >= 0 &&

is improving the outcome of that gnarly cpp at https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/rev/ea550f0d1afaf7747ebd988325ea10cf4e3e4de4/dom/media/ChannelMediaDecoder.cpp#385

my intuition is DownloadProgressed() never gets to fire CanPlayThrough() because ComputePlaybackRate() never comes back with aDuration.isInfinite() negated. Someone with a cpp background explaining that function would help me heaps

Is there a Keyboard Shortcut to put the focus on Firefox's Sidebar?

I use the Add-On "Bookmark search plus 2" which is really awesome. When I activate it's Keyboard Shortcut (Ctrl + Q), the Sidebar opens, but I have to use my mouse to click on the Sidebar to grant it focus. I looked around online and haven't found anything. If anyone knows of a way, a Keyboard Shortcut, a tool or another Add-On perhaps, please let me know! Cheers!

Cr8zy_Ivan OP , (edited )

To anyone who would be looking for an answer to my question: I ended up making it work with an AutoHotkey Script. When I press the Hotkeys that open Firefox's Sidebars, I have AutoHotkey automatically place the Mouse Cursor in the Textarea I want, Click, then relocate the Mouse Cursor to where it initially was, in a flash of a second.

Cheers!

@Cr8zy_Ivan No, unfortunately - see & vote for https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1502713. (I use BSP2, too.)

I doubt any extension could do it either (new WebExtension API deems such behavior/functionality insecure/too privileged).

I hope it could be customizable by "user.js" or a similar javascript file put in your Firefox profile. If anyone finds anything, report here, please.

Partial alternative: Right click at BSP2 icon > "Open BSP2 in a Tab". Potentially pin the tab. Then Ctrl+TAB to switch back and forth.
For other extensions, figure out "moz-extension://..." URL to their files shown in the sidebar. It may not work exactly well/same as in a sidebar (or it may work better).
