firefox

TLDR: I want to easily have a bunch of tabs somehow synchronized on both my desktop and mobile devices and in different groups. Safari and other iOS browsers haven’t worked well for me....

I know this is Lemmy and plenty of users here are anti-Reddit, but I’m sharing this in case other users have trouble with this as well....

When I click on a post in a twitter feed it opens it in the same tab when I want to open it in a new tab, and continue scrolling the feed.

The GitHub repo for Firefox History Merger was archived back in 2022, while it still works it might be a good idea for a newer alternative in case Firefox makes breaking changes in the future.

When I duplicate a tab, a new tab is created with the same URL and I have to wait for it to download again. Why wouldn’t Firefox just duplicate all the data of the tab into a new tab?

Edit: I want to automatically export my themes because I’ve lost themes in the past on Firefox when addon data would unexpectedly get wiped....

Addons have to implement their own ways to backup and import data, it can be very tedious to do so when using multiple or switching profiles. It wouldn’t be possible to just copy and paste profile folders, like from Firefox Nightly to regular Firefox (since the Firefox version is too new), from Firefox to Floorp, or vice versa...

I saw this was posted yesterday but when I emptied the extensions.webextensions.restrictedDomains preference in about:config and restarted FF, I still couldn’t get Vimium to work on addons.mozilla.org. I want all addons to work on all domains, is there a solution for that?

I should not be a few keystrokes away from accidentally deleting all of today’s entries with no confirmation if I’m sure, and no way to recover them, even if I close the browser in the same second. I don’t even know which ones I hit.

For instance, I watch a video on Shout Factory and then pause, close the tab and when I go back to the link it goes back to where I left off.

Yesterday I asked you guys what your favorite addons are. Here is a compiled list plus some of my own recommendations:...

I would love to find extensions that make me think “How did I live without this?”

For example if I were to go to Facebook, you will ask for my location data, and I will say no and never ask again....

Hiya, what’s your favourite Firefox theme? Personally looking for a new one, as I like tooting around with new themes from time to time. Thought I’d chip in here and ask what theme you have as your main, maybe add a screenshot + link, so that it’s easy for folk to see it 🦊

Hey, everyone!...

I’m using Firefox mobile and pulling up any webpage is very slow. One of the big things is searching using the address bar, has a load time of at least 10 seconds (using ddg as default). Switching default search engines does not help....

I recently used Firefox Nightly on my Android device, in a private tab, to login to gmail. After I closed the browser, both via the “quit” menu icon and via swiping the Firefox away in the Overview, I had expected the session information to be deleted and the next time I came back to gmail via a private tab, to be required...

My Firefox theme is set to “Follow device theme” but everytime it changes from light/dark it bugs out with illegible dark-on-dark or light-on-light text in the Firefox UI. I have to restart the app everytime to get it to work properly. I’m on Firefox 123 (Android 14, Galaxy S22) and been having this issue for ages, anyone...

I have to use a specific booking system for work, in chrome it allows me to type in the date or time, and the site registers me doing it. In Firefox I have sliders for time or have to click on the calendar popup to get the date. I have spoken to the support from the booking system and their solution is use chrome. I am clueless...

EDIT: It’s something to do with my VPN and/or EasyTether, but it only happens in Firefox, so I didn’t think that could be it. I commented about my findings below: lemmy.world/comment/7585497...

This ‘protection’ seems to have a problem with Firefox and it’s privacy related settings. 😡
