Floorp May Be My New Browser

After chromium-based browsers started crashing my Linux computer, I started looking at Firefox and Firefox-based browsers. Following this path:

Brave > Vivaldi > Firefox > WaterFox > LibreWolf > Floorp

I really liked Vivaldi, but it was there when I realized it wasn't a Brave problem, but a chromium-based browser problem. Firefox was creepy with some of their settings (Telemetry on by default, Google for search, etc.); WaterFox was close but just didn't feel right; I would have stopped with LibreWolf but could get SurfShark VPN to work with it. Then I found Floorp and it solved all the issues I had with the others and somewhat remind me of all the things I loved about Vivaldi.

I am about 24 hours into using it and am setting up workspaces now, so I plan to be here for a while.

As a noobie, I would love to hear what your favorite features of Floorp are (I may not have found them yet).

Using address bar to clear formatting

So I have this habit of pasting formatted text into the address bar to clear that formatting. But since some update, Floorp always copies the website address I'm currently on, regardless of what I currently pasted into the address bar.

Any way to turn that feature off?

Font looking off compared to Chrome

I am transitioning from Vivaldi, Chromium based browser to Floorp and everything is looking nice, but the font is kind of off. I don't know if I just have to get used to it, but it kind of makes reading just a bit harder.

When I screenshotted same thing on both Vivaldi and Floorp, I noticed that Vivaldi has the text tinted while Floorp is completely black and white, I have no clue how this effect is called, but would it be possible to enable it somehow on Floorp? Maybe that is the main or only difference I am noticing.

Floorp compatible add-on/extension is trending on Firefox Android - Yay!

Hello world,

A while back I created an add-on called Website and IP address blocker that is now trending on Firefox for android, compatible with Floorp!

It is completely free and was built to be super simple for everyone to use. It has one rare feature that allows to only block the homepage of a website. Additionally, It can block full websites, subdomains, IP address and even custom pages like localhost.

The code was also looked over by a Mozilla Web Compatibility Engineer, super thankful for that! https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1gi92pm/comment/lv9z7kn/

Compatibility: Floorp on Android, Windows, MacOS, ChromeOS and Linux.
Add-on Link: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/addon/website-ip-address-blocker/

If you are an advanced user, I highly recommend looking into uBlock Origin as well.

Hope you enjoy using it!

Can we report bugs on here?

I noticed there's no tag for bugs or any subreddit rules that might address that.

I'm asking because there's two very annoying ones I keep experiencing.

1.

While editing a bookmark with the quick edit when I hover over other folders to put it in my other tabs get highlighted like my mouse is hovering over them.

It's like the browser thinks if I'm hovering over folders in the editor I'm also hovering over my tabs.

2.

The password manager absolutely doesn't work.

I only have one use for it which I won't mention since I just use a real password manager for all my other stuff. However, the one in the browser doesn't work at all compared to any other browser I've tried.

It won't fill in the information and I have to manually open the manager in another tab and copy things over. I can't just click and fill.

P.S. Again, if I'm supposed to not be posting bugs on the subreddit please let me know.

Some Questions On Floorp Functionality & Options

I'm trying to migrate from Brave and Vivaldi as I don't like the manifest v3 stuff so I'm trying to see if all the functionality I've experienced in those two browsers can be found in Floorp. That or at least if there are plans for it.

Bookmarks

- Where are the tag options in the bookmark editor?

I have to navigate to the bookmark in the bookmark manager with Ctrl+Shift+O in order to edit the tags. I've looked all over the settings but I don't see anything for adjusting how bookmarks behave.

I've never seen any Firefox fork take that functionality away by default.

- Is there a way to enable navigating to a bookmark inside the bookmark manager from the quick editor?

Just a nice to have but a button or keyboard shortcut would be good.

Tab Management

- Is there a session manager?

I would rather have a built-in option that doesn't feel clunky. Vivaldi's is decent enough.

I know there's a workspace management and I think it's pretty decent other than that I cannot use custom icons.

- Can I change how pinned tabs work?

Right now if you pin a tab it will show up in every workspace. I would rather that I can adjust things so that they only how up in only one workspace or however many I want. Whether that's all except one or visa versa.

Swipe gestures stopped working in Windows.

Edit: It fixed itself 2 days later. I don't know how it was fixed, my updates are set to manual, meaning it can't update itself. I did try restarting browser, restarting windows, nothing worked that day.

Swipe with two fingers for back and forward navigation used to work in Floorp but it stopped working. Please suggest fixes.

Windows: 24H2. Floorp: 11.22.0.

Floorp messing up picture uploads

Every time I try to upload an image to any website it corrupts. I've narrowed it down to Floorp because I have other browsers installed that don't do this. The plugins I'm running are:
Privacy Badger,
Ublock Origin
Sponsor Block
Firefox Translate
Ruffle
Redirect AMP to HTML

These are all things I've run on Firefox without this issue arising. I'm using Version 11.22.0 (64-bit) | Firefox: 128.7.0 on Windows 11 Pro 24H2. The issue is not limited to any one site, rather happening on both social media and reversed image searches. I'll attach a picture to this post so (an odd sentiment but hopefully it fails) I can demonstrate the issue.

What should upload as a screenshot of a random structure in Satisfactory. We'll see. If it... fails to fail I'll take a screenshot of another failure instead.

Edit - Okay, seems like Reddit is somehow an exception? This is baffling. The second image is what it looks like when I try to reverse search that exact same image file on Bing.

Ctrl+H side history always spawns in the smallest size

I use my history a lot, so it's a little irritating to resize it every time. This doesn't happen on firefox or waterfox for me

Vertical Tabs - Non-hoverable

Hi, is there any way to replicate the feature of Zen browser in which the vertical tabs (showing icons only) do not expand to show the title when hovering over them?
Meaning the vertical tabs will always only show the icons, never expanding and as an additional option, the mute button only works on the active tab (to not mistakenly mute other tabs instead of switching over).

https://preview.redd.it/nok8q5qzvkde1.png?width=314&format=png&auto=webp&s=115ccd74adb3135a128eacf2e54b7dc99520032d

As you can see, the mute button only shows up when I have the active tab open and when hovering the icons, they remain with the same width.

Since Floorp is moving from ESR to mainline. Do we have to start over, or the update is possible?

Newspaper website crashes on opening every time. MacOS

Could someone on MacOS try https://www.theguardian.com/uk and tell me if it crashes at opening every time, please. I need to find a fix as this is what is happening for me. I have refreshed, cleared cookies etc. That website works flawlessly on FF, Chrome and Edge.

Frequently losing open tabs

So, I've been using Floorp on Mac for quite some time now, and have lost my tab sets over 3 times when I close and reopen Floorp. I've checked the settings and it says it should resume from where I left off and this behavior occurs randomly.

Now the tabs in question aren't too important for me, but for others it may not be the case, hence posting here to know if this is a known issue or has a workaround or solution available.

I don't want to switch to another browser as Floorp works best with vertical tree style tab management (I use it with Sidebery). Any help would be appreciated.

I'm using the 11.21.0 (64-bit) version and it is the latest available.

Can't create nor manage Workspaces

So, I have the button on my toolbar, but it's not doing anything anymore.

When I right-click it, it brings the options to manage/customize the toolbar.

Left-clicking it won't do anything.

I tried restarting Floorp, I tried disabling/enabling the Workspace feature, I tried removing and adding the button again, nothing worked.

What could it be? I already have so much trouble using Workspaces (it just doesn't work as a Workspace feature should/usually do, lol), but now it's simply not working, at all...

vs. 11.21.0 (64-bit), Windows Home 22H2.

Thanks

Lately YouTube works terrible for me on Floorp. It lags and certain elements like video controls are slow to respond or even show up

Is Floorp the reason, or maybe it's some YouTube ad fuckery? For example, if I want to pause a video on a second tab, it takes forever to even show the bar with pause/play button. When I want to skip some part of a video and I hover over the timeline, the little thumbnail showing frames also get laggy. And my favorite is closing a tab with music on, only to have the music go for like 5 seconds after it was closed.

I don't think it's my PC, because everything else runs smoothly. Also, Twitch doesn't have the same problems at all, so I do suspect it might be YouTube specific. Anyone noticed some problems? Any solutions?

I want dark mode

I set dark mode in my browser, but it didn't work. It should be because Firefox resists fingerprint detection. But I think I should be able to set the mode manually, which will not affect privacy.

Opening with Previous Window Size
