I just lost all my tabs within it, any recommendations for an alternative?

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.

I did some searches but it appears that addons like Stylus only support syncing with cloud storage.

I hope you have bookmark collections.

Bookmarks are efficient, save energy, and are more private, than using "Google" for everything all the time.

But my collections over time include tons of websites that are down!

This is quite sad, but at least using that addon you can filter out those websites.

Or you could search for the link on archive.org, archive.is or other archiving websites.

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 for both.

What if Firefox had a built-in UI for exporting addon data, either for individual addons or multiple bundled into one file. It would be a convenient and reliable way to keep addon data outside of the browser, as well as just exporting one file with all addon data from one Firefox instance to another, or for individual addons if u wanted to. But would that be possible? I mean Firefox has to store addon data somehow and it could bundle all the data into individual files.

I know Firefox has a Split View feature; however, it’s not as convenient as Vivaldi or the Arc browser. I love how The browser company implemented the Split View screen. Firefox Split View is pretty limited, and I’m unsure if it has improved since its release.

What does the community think about that?

Here is an example of Arc browser split view:

Hiya,

I'm using Firefox Flatpak, but am not able to resize Firefox, only when its been sized into a set proportion via KWin (tiling manager). As soon as I move the Firefox out of the set "zone" I can freely resize FF again. Anyone know whats going on here? I am always using multiple windows of Firefox open, and moving them around on multiple monitors, so for me this is rather important. This is on Bazzite.

Thanks for any suggestions

And I really mean move, not copy.

The difference between copy and move is that copy... copies, but move dies copy->verify->delete original, in a single operation of the user.

Preferably, that is reliable. Meaning it checks the bookmarks have been successfully created before closing the related tab.

Also it should be clear what bookmark folder it is going to put the tabs in.

Because the current bookmark manager, it is easy to end up dumping all your tabs in the parent folder of tge destination you indented.

Or end up creating an extra child folder inside your intended destination bookmark folder

Would also be nice to have quality of life features, such as a default bookmark folder.

The option to put the bookmarks in a folder named with today's date.

Maybe an option to specify a default destination bookmarks folder on a per site domain basis

Hello. For a couple of days my browser has been failing automated captchas when it is hosted by Cloudfare. Any other captcha service works well and lets me go trough.

This is happening on Firefox for Debian Linux 12 (apt). Doesn't happen on Firefox flatpak and Chromium apt.

What can I do to check further or to give more info?

I recently downloaded Firefox Nightly and noticed some new settings that were enabled by default:

• Suggestions from Firefox Nightly
  Get suggestions from the web related to your search
• Suggestions from sponsors
  Support Firefox Nightly with occasional sponsored suggestions

Learn more about Firefox Suggest

The link in the UI doesn't mention sponsorships anywhere. But this page does:

Who are Mozilla’s partners for sponsored suggestions?

We partner with organizations to serve up some of these suggestion types... For sponsored results, we primarily work with adMarketplace, while also providing non-sponsored results from Wikipedia.

This page links to the adMarketplace Privacy Policy which makes it pretty clear this company is okay with collecting your IP address and passing it to further unnamed entities.

Elsewhere, they say Firefox sends them "the number of times Firefox suggests or displays specific content and your clicks on that content, as well as basic data about your interactions with Firefox Suggest", and then will share interaction information "in an aggregate manner with our partners".

Update: Switched the link from the Desktop to the Mobile version. Added more quotes from FF, and bolded info about their one named AdTech partner.

Edit:. I got it working now, I had to apply the changes described here, and I had extracted the utils into the chrome folder instead of into chrome/utils like I was supposed to.

I followed all the instructions but it doesn't seem to work, I downloaded the following scripts from here https://github.com/xiaoxiaoflood/firefox-scripts:

• BeQuiet: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xiaoxiaoflood/firefox-scripts/master/chrome/BeQuiet.uc.js
• Enter Selects: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xiaoxiaoflood/firefox-scripts/master/chrome/enterSelects.uc.js
• rebuild_userChrome.uc.js

If you want a button to manage your scripts, including the ability to disable/enable scripts without needing to restart¹ Firefox or Thunderbird, save rebuild_userChrome.uc.js into chrome.

Greetings from the Mozilla Add-ons team!

Mozilla has upgraded the signing for Firefox extensions, themes, dictionaries, and language packs to provide a stronger signature for a more secure add-ons ecosystem. This upgrade may impact add-on versions uploaded to https://addons.mozilla.org (AMO) differently depending on the date they were uploaded and whether they are self-distributed or distributed via AMO. Please see below for which add-ons will be affected.

For developers of add-on versions hosted on AMO that were uploaded prior to April 5, 2019.

• No action will be required; the most recent public version of your add-on will be re-signed automatically April 25, 2024 resulting in a version bump

• Developers will receive a confirmation email once the auto re-signing of their add-on is complete

For developers of add-on versions self-distributed that were uploaded prior to April 5, 2019.

• Action will be required as Mozilla is not able to automatically re-sign unlisted versions since the distribution is controlled by the developer and thus the AMO team cannot determine which version(s) to re-sign

• Action required: To continue to distribute any self-hosted versions uploaded to AMO prior to Apr 5, 2019, developers will need to submit new versions to AMO.

Self-distributed add-on versions that are not re-submitted by Apr 15 will no longer be installable on any version of Firefox 127: Nightly (Apr 15), Beta (May 13) or Release (Jun 11). Add-ons installed prior to Firefox 127 will continue to work for now, but we ask that you encourage your users to upgrade to the new, re-signed version of your add-on once you have re-submitted it to AMO. Any previous versions that are no longer in use do not need to be re-submitted to AMO.

Please feel free to reply to this email if you have any questions.

Regards,

Mozilla Add-ons team

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.

I got some random selection of Bookmarks suddenly lost from Firefox Bookmark Folders, some Folders entirely cleared... I'm I the only one?!

I was wondering if anyone knows is the Reading List from the mobile version is available on Desktop? I can't seem to find it, unless it in settings, and I'm just blind.

I have to use Microsoft Teams for work. I use the web version with firefox. The audio portion works just fine and the video portion works too. But the screen-share function does not work. I can't see anyone else's screen when they share it.

Firefox always has a notice when I start up MS Teams (attached the image to this post). But when I click on the "Learn More" button, the bar just disappears without taking me anywhere new. So I'm unable to learn more. Does anyone know what plugin I need or where to download it? I've done a couple of searches and haven't come up with anything helpful so I'm hoping someone can help me solve this problem.

Operating system: Linux Mint Package manager: APT

We are here talking about updating Firefox, which comes pre-installed with the OS.

While other packages go up to 13 MB/s, Firefox downloads remain at a maximum of 500 kB.

Get:1 http://packages.linuxmint.com virginia/upstream amd64 firefox amd64 124.0.2+linuxmint1+virginia [74.3 MB]

Should I switch to different source?

Very recently I started noticing something weird every time I launched Firefox. Whether it's a normal session or private session it always happens. When I launch the application there is a small pop-up window that appears with squares of colors, like primary colors, blue, red, yellow. It appears for a fraction of a second. Has anyone else noticed this?
