Unable to upload files via Google Voice

This seems to have been an issue for a couple of versions, but when I try to upload an image to send to one of my contacts on Google Voice, it says "error occurred" and it will not upload my file. This does not happen on Firefox. I'm on the Linux version downloaded from the official website, not as a flatpak.

YouTube previews play erratically

In other browsers I can mouse over a video thumbnail to start previewing the video. In floorp the video stops and starts as I move my mouse within the preview which is quite annoying. Anyone else experience this?

New to Floorp, I have some issues with it

  1. Download history clears automatically on closing Floorp. How can I disable this?
  2. On typing 'g' in the search bar, it always autocompletes to google.com instead of gmail.com or something I use more often. I can't seem to remove google.com from the drop-down either.
  3. The browser seems to slow down a little when using gmail or something. Also, its memory usage spikes.

I would appreciate any help answering these questions. Thank you.

How to update portable Floorp?

So there's a newer version released yesterday. I have automatically check for updates to Floorp portable on. But I got no prompt that there's a new version or anything like that. After opening browser today, I noticed Floorp downloaded created a new folder update_tmp that has core, CORE_UPDATE_READY, floorp.exe, update.zip in it. Do I need to manually place core and floorp.exe into the main folder now? Is that the way to update portable Floorp everytime? How do I know there's an update because I'm not opening the main folder to check if update_tmp is there or not.

Hotkeys question

Hello! I have one big issue using Firefox and Floorp – one custom hotkey, cmd+shift+A to be precise. I used it on Chrome to launch my password manager extension but when I switched to Firefox I realized that cmd+shift+a opens addons page. And I can disable it, it just overwrites my password manager shortcut. The same goes to Floorp. I know I can disable all Firefox hotkeys in Floorp but I need many of them (cmd+1, cmd+2 etc for tab selection for example).

My question is can I disable only cmd+shift+A shortcut so I can use it with my password manager addon in Floorp?

policies.json stopped working, to disable auto updates

I've had to use policies.json to disable the built in updater on Linux since I'm using the repository and my system update manager handles it along with other OS updates. Yesterday with the new update, once again I found Floorp complaining it couldn't update itself, and settings no longer shows 'this browser is managed by your organization'. I updated policies.json with the current Mozilla syntax and rebooted and there was no change. This is my policies.json as of now:

    {
    "policies": 
    
     {
      "AppAutoUpdate": false,
      "BackgroundAppUpdate": false,
      "DisableAppUpdate": true,
      "DisableFirefoxStudies": true,
      "DisableTelemetry": true,
      "UserMessaging": {
          "ExtensionRecommendations": false,
          "FeatureRecommendations": false,
          "UrlbarInterventions": false,
          "SkipOnboarding": false,
          "MoreFromMozilla": false,
          "Locked": true
      }
     }
    
    }

So what's going on?

Thoughts, having just transferred from Firefox Proton after 3 years

Floorp is exactly what I was looking for in an firefox-based update.

Was sitting on the last valid version of proton for 3 years with updates manually disabled (and in most cases, the updaters manually removed) waiting for someone to fix the new ui or improve on the site, dreading having to eventually update. Was recently informed that the version would no longer be supported and started seeing a lot of the sites I use simply fail to work on the browser and reluctantly decided to look for an alternative.

Floorp is a perfect upgrade. Can make it look almost exactly like my old UI (probably literally exactly if I knew some of the intricacies better), settings and customization options I'm just barely scratching, and it's only got improvements to what I was running before. Never even thought about a theme/darkmode-compliant right click function before I saw it here, but it's so much better for my eyes. Can reopen old tabs without the keybind. It's even got workplaces as a tabfolder substitute, the only thing that was making me consider chromium browsers.

Thank you so much.

Option to remove "Install this site as an app" address button?

Recently installed Floop, quite satisfied, looking to do some personal customization including removing some of the address bar context buttons. I found that there was a CSS line to remove "share this page" but I do not know how to do this for "Install this site as an app". Help would be appreciated.

Wtf are these new updates

since a few updates ago the side bar got bugged to the right and i can't move it to the left anymore.

now the search bar shows recent searches and the option to search via different search engines despite having everything turned off.

i got this browser because it was minimalistic not for it to become bloated like every other browser

GitHub.dev doesn't work on portable Floorp?

unable to resolve workspace folder (ENOPRO: No file system provider found for resource 'vscode:vfs://....')

What does that mean? It's not a Floorp issue since it works on regular Floorp. It's not a portable browser issue since it works on portable Librewolf. I'm on Windows 10 if that matters.

My Floorp + Ublock Origin setup has me getting "Oops! Something Happened"-ed within 40 seconds of most videos.

11.19.1, 64bit.

Two years ago I used Opera with Ublock, then Youtube started going officially slower to load one day, so I switched to Vivaldi+Unlock, and all was swift-loading and well, for a year. Then Vivaldi started loading YT pages very slow, Youtube pages took forty (40) seconds to load in all page assets - the video window would start within five seconds but the mouse cursor couldn't touch anything or even pause playback until the 40 seconds had gone by, then it could be paused.

So I switched to Floorp+Ublock and all was well.

Today, with Floorp and Ublock, all Youtube videos break at the 30-second mark and this message shows.. Same on Edge, videos break within the first minute.

I think it is the latest of Youtube's war against users, to simply break the ability to play. Just to try some neutral alternative, I installed Waterfox and went to youtube with no plugins, no apps, no Ublock, and did not sign into Youtube, and watched a random video about making mustard. Three minutes and counting, no OOPS!

What do you guys make of this? Has anyone else gotten these grey YT windows?

Links opening in another window

Hello,

I decided to take a look at Floorp, maybe switching from Edge. But when I click on a link from a Google search it opens another window with the link and another tab.

In Reddit it's the same behavior. Search for some sub click the link and opens another window.

Any idea?

Tks.

Sometimes sidebar moves to left and pinned websites dont work.

I have this problem, maybe 1/5 times I open the browser. I need to close it and reopen, for the sidebar to behave normally. Do you know any solution?

Once I login in custom workspace with custom container onto a site and open the same one in the default workspace with a separate container, I get instantly logged in

Hi there!

I came across Floorp not so long ago, and I really love it.

Yet, there's one functionality I am unable to use properly, the containers.

From what I understand, with containers it should be possible to have the same page with two different accounts open at the same time. Or be logged in container 1 and logged out in container 2 on the same page, say reddit for example.

Still, with my current setup: Default workspace set to Private container and Reddit workspace set to Reddit container, whenever I log in in my Reddit workspace, then switch to the default workspace and open or refresh an already open Reddit page, I get instantly logged in there as well.

Once I switched the Container for the Default Workspace form no container to the Private one, the newly opened(with new tab) Reddit pages were no more logged in automatically, yet the already open once are still logged in.

I thought having one page in the Reddit container and the other in No container should also mean one is logged in but the other not.

It only happens between custom and default workspace, not between two custom ones.

Why is it so? Is this a bug or does it not matter for the default workspace in which container it is set to?

Update patch failed to apply?

I am on the most recent version of floorp (11.19.1) but when I check the update history it says "The update could not be installed (patch apply failed).

How do I fix this? Can I manually re-download the latest version of floorp? If so, will all my settings, add-ons, browsing history, and cookies carry over?

Web apps open external links in standard browser window

Hi everybody!
I am on openSUSE Linux and whenever I open an external link within a web app, it opens it in the main browser window as a new tab. Is this expected behavior, or is it because the function is experimental on Linux?
