Hello, I saw different extensions like SideBerry to move the tabs bar to the left side.

However it is not working like it should and I cannot figure out how to remove the top bar.

Any help? anyone managed to configure this setting?

They both have 2fa and password master so I guess they are both good?

what do you think?

I finally got paranoid enough about Chrome to switch to Firefox today, and so far I am really enjoying it. I didn't expect it to be as customizable as it is, and I found a CSS theme that I really like and was able to download all but one of the extensions I had on Chrome. I also decided to bite the bullet and learn to use vertical tabs. My chosen method for this is Sidebery because it looks nice, but I'm having a problem with it. The autoshow and autohide speeds are extremely fast. Objectively this might not be a problem, but it's showing and hiding faster than I feel like I can react and I want the animation to be about half as fast for comfort's sake. Does anyone have a way to change this? I fucked around in the settings for a good 30 minutes and couldn't figure it out. Would appreciate the expertise of people who know more about this than I do. Thanks!

I don't have this issue while I have the site on desktop mode but when it's off that's when the issue occurs...

Is there a way this can work for both modes?

I opened the app today and it was as if it was a completely new install.
Luckily there aren't a ton of mobile browser settings to mess with, but still a little annoying.

Just curious if it happened to anyone else?

Pretty much what the title says. I'm switching from Chrome to Firefox, and while I was browsing today, I tried to go to messenger.com. I typed it in, hit enter, and some video started playing; I think it was about penny stocks or something. I checked the URL, and it was from londonpost.com. I copied the URL into a security checker and it couldn't run the test, kicking back a 403 error.

I'm running Fedora Linux 40. Anyone know if this is something I should worry about?

Beyond the standard browser, Mozilla has gone farther, by creating a bunch of extensions (12, see below). I haven't installed any of those, since I thought "If it was done, by Mozilla, why haven't they added to browser directly, since they have all the means to do it ?".

So, I'm asking you about that. Have you used any of these add-ons. Anything to suggess worth-it-adding ?

I like Multi-Account Containers extension as it improves privacy, however I thing it lacks one very important option : possibility to override default cookie saving policy.

I would love to have default google.com or facebook.com cookies to be cleaned on browser close and have separate container for you tube to be log in keeping my cookies only for this. Then you can have even default behavior for Firefox to clean all cookies and have some containers where you are log in to. Then some day (next century) maybe some standard schema name will appear for cookies for accepting cookies which will be set up by browser depending on user setting and idiotic popups (which i believe were introduced by UE only to discourage cookie drop browsing) will disappear.

so i just downloaded firefox on my android, but i'm kinda lost on how can i download a page to open offline, and if i can't can someone recommend an addon that can do that?

also, some sites have a really crappy video controls that is designed for desktop or overall just bad, so i was searching for an addon that opens the video in a seperate player inside firefox, or a seperate player on the device outside firefox, or at least brings an option to advance/rewind the video in the web.

and thanks in advance guys

I had the browser add-on for a while but had to delete all my apps to figure out which one was bogging down my PC's performance. When I tried to re-add it later, I got a lot of red flags warning about the safety of the app. What do you think? Is it genuinely safe to use?

Hi, I've been using Mozilla for more than a year and I'm happy with how it was working(especially security). But recently I started having problems with it on Ubuntu 22. The text that I want to write keeps lagging, I cannot delete it. Only the writing part stopped working. I tried restarting computer but it didn't help. Opening tabs works though. Does anybody else also have that problem?

Hi all,

I am kind of out of ways to look for this so I'd like some help on this.

Here is my scenario:

After a clean install of Windows 11 and Firefox I set up all my stuff and I am noticing that some video content doesn't play well especially embedded in Reddit, but some other sites as well. Basically anything but Youtube has weird stuttering issues. By stuttering I mean it is 1 frame every several (10 potentially) seconds, and if I were to retry the video without a refresh of the page it would say "video not available."

Some stuff I've tried and they failed to fix the issue:

• Run incognito
• Run troubleshooting mode with all extensions off
• Check the video codecs (it seems to be fine hardware/software wise, but I don't know how to tell if anything is wrong here)
• Clear cache/session/cookies - this does actually help momentarily, but the issue comes back almost immediately
  • Similarly rebooting helps as well

The issue does not occur in Edge, but I am loathe to go to Edge for all my normal reddit doomscrolling needs.

I did dig around in other posts and settings, but none of it really gave me any resolution though I am happy to walk through steps/posts anyone may have.

I do have several other machines that run this same profile and set of extensions (2 laptops which are way less powerful than my PC) and they have no issue what so ever. Also I said fresh install: this same machine ran everything just fine every single other time I did this refresh (though I don't do it often as stuff is generally pretty stable)

Any thoughts/help/steps/stuff to google would be super super helpful, honestly I am not even sure how to describe my issue besides "stuttering" or "buffering" even though I am fairly technical.

So I am trying to swap to Firefox on my work computer but I am having issues with how PDFs are handled by Firefox.

I had set 'Always ask where to save files' as true and noticed when trying to download PDF attachments, they would be downloaded to my Downloads folder and then opened in Firefox. I changed the behavior under the PDF Content Type under Applications to 'Save File' but now inline type PDFs are not being loaded inline and are instead asking where to be saved.

I pulled up Firefox on my personal computer and checked, and the settings there are 'Always ask where to save files' and the PDF content type is 'Open in Firefox' and I have no issues - inline PDFs are displayed in Firefox, and when I try to download any PDFs I am asked where to save. I cannot figure out what is causing different behaviors on each computer.

I did some googling and there's a bunch of explanation I was having trouble following, but it seems like the issue might be that my personal computer is running Windows and my work computer is a Mac?

Any help is greatly appreciated. I basically cannot use Firefox for work if I can't resolve this, which would be unfortunate.

Downloaded & installed latest update: Version 132.0.2 64 bit The update caused my PC to be seized. Had to reboot twice, first time using using power off. No other way.

Works fine now.

In chromium is called Quick Startpage. I want something similar, that turns my bookmarks into the new tab page.

Default ff new tab doesnt make it for me. It lacks customizability, shows history and sponsored icons.

I know that you don't provide your CVV number, yet still I feel uneasy with saving all of the other information pretaining my credit card, since I don't know how securely Firefox is handling the data. How do you feel about it?

Mostly the Reddit sign in pop up and the google drive mini tutorial pop up.

I tried to hide it using uBlock's element picker but it doesn't work, they just kept coming back again on normal page refresh.

Also I includeed this in my .js but nothing happens, not sure what this does.

user_pref("dom.popup_allowed_events", "click dblclick mousedown pointerdown");

Suddenly every URL/link is this terrible brown/orange color, instead of the normal blue. It only happens on dark mode.

Does anyone know what caused it? I'd like to think that it wasn't an intentional change, after all, who would intentionally pick that color? But it happened with the update, so I'm thinking it is a result of that.

How can I fix this? Honestly it's pretty close to being a deal breaker with Firefox for Android if I can't revert the colors, it's that bad.

I need a way to search within link addresses on any given page. In other words, not the text shown on the page, but the actual URL a link will go to.

Obviously, I can pull the source code for a page and do it there, but that's very cumbersome to do on a regular basis.

Is there any easy way to do this type of search that is either built-in or that is provided by an add-on?

An extension named “extension manager” is available on Edge and Chrome. Basically, this extension allows me to quickly switch on/off an extension with a single click. Besides, it also enables automatic switching according to website-based rules, which is really handy and helpful for saving system resources.

I checked FF's extension store and didn't find it or similar extensions, so I'm looking for help from you all. Can anyone tell me if there are any similar extensions in FF?

Thanks for your help! :)

Hello all, I’m having two issues with Reddit and would appreciate any help.

1. Login issue: When I try to log in with my phone number on Reddit using Firefox, I get a “Server error. Try again later” message. However, I can log in on private mode. And I can log in via Gmail in the normal browsing mode, but the Reddit account connected to my Gmail isn’t my main one. Only my phone number is linked to my main account that I want to use. How can I fix this and log in with my phone number on the Firefox browser in normal mode instead of the private mode?
2. Posting issue: When I try to post a topic with text and an image, only one of the two gets posted. If I stay on the image tab and press on post, only the image gets posted; if I stay on the text tab and press on post, only the text uploads. This happens across all browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Edge etc.) and even after reinstalling Windows 3 times. (Didn't reinstall Windows 3 times because of these problems though :D)

What I’ve also already tried that I didn't mention:

• Clearing history, cache, cookies, etc to the point: Forever.
• Restarting Firefox and my laptop
• Trying a new Firefox profile

I’ve had the second issue always. Since the first time using Reddit! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Unfortunately I completely broke my laptop a few days ago. I'm now borrowing a Mac until i can buy a new one, and I'm really missing my bookmarks and passwords! I can't figure out how to import them without exporting them from my previous laptop (which I can't do, as it wont turn on at all). Does anyone know how I could fix this, or are they lost forever? Thanks in advance!

Something I notice the last day or say using Reddit. Whenever I go to reply To a user, the box scrolls up to the top so I can't actually see what I'm typing.

It only happens so far i notice on Reddit. Anyone else notice this

I was using "ChatGPT & YouTube Summary by Glasp" on chrome, tried using this one https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-chatgpt-summarization/ but returns a "NetworkError when attempting to fetch resource."

I liked being able to continue asking about the sumarization on chagpt so I would prefer some way to export the captions to chatgpt directly, tried looking on greasyfork but didn't found anything

For some reason when I open links from Gmail I get an extra tab sometimes:

How do I stop TST on Firefox from doing this?

Firefox prevent screen going off on Linux. When I close it then screen saver kicks in and turn off the screen. If I start the Firefox again and leave it idle screen does go off. But after some time and browsing it again gets stuck. Restarting or closing Firefox fix this. It seems like Firefox inhibits screen saver but then it doesn't activate it back.
