Hi all,

It's a long time that I'm using Firefox as my main browser on my Linux (Pop_Os 22.04 Ubuntu based, Gnome) machine.

From about a week I'm having an annoying problem: with every Google search i do i get an annoying notification to grant access to my location , see here 👇
https://pasteboard.co/7CBrWgTwSd4t.png
I get this popup notification every time i do a google search, also if i repeat the search in the same tab.

I had a look at the Gnome privacy settings with no luck.

I don't know if it's something related to Gnome not saving the preference or if it's Firefox.

Anyone has any idea ?

Thanks 🙏🏻

I have a major issue with Google search on my PC. Google search results are only showing me the first page and won't scroll or offer me the Goooooogle page selector. I have tried turning off and on continuous scrolling in settings and nothing changes - I don't see the page selector. If I sign out, I get the page selector and settings allows me to choose results per page. This happens regardless of region selected or whether choose automatic region. It doesn't affect images but the 'all' tab is useless if I am signed in which is, frankly, a nightmare. This happens on my mobile too, but only if I show desktop page, the mobile version works and this only happens to me with firefox :(

I've always been frustrated with the ever-changing prices of products on Temu, so have created this extension to record product prices in the background so that they are searchable later. It's still in development, but I hope to add more features soon.

Hi, I've been using nightly for about 5-6 years now the latest nightly version feels so slow and having frequent small annoying freezes, is there a bug I can track about it or I can provide more info? I've experienced this on my PC and laptop.

It feels slow loading pages also clicking the middle mouse button rarely works properly. (opening links and closing tabs)

I haven't tried to reset Firefox yet, but I will if other people think their nightly is working properly.

p.s I didn't find a post about nightly that's why I created a new thread.

Say I have a window of mostly music that I want to open with shortcut a, and a window of work stuff that I want to open with shortcut b. Is there anything I can do to get firefox shortcuts to remember the windows separately? I don't want to use chrome or a different browser as the second window, but that would work for specifically what I want to do.

Hi, I'm having this issue with Firefox where it will try to reload/load all my tabs and my system CPU usage will jump to 100% and in the about:performance page it will show Firefox at 140% CPU usage.
I've tried to reinstall, Firefox. I've also tried removing extensions, as that's where I think the problem might be coming from. But it didn't seem to solve anything. I've also gone into about:config and set blockautorefresh to true, but this didn't help either.
I was able to go into about:performance and extract one of the profile performance for the Firefox system. Furthermore, I however am not knowledgeable about Firefox and or web development and the services to understand and isolate the problem that is causing this issue.
I'm running on macOS, and I've only recently switched to Firefox, as I used to run Arc as my main browser.
Has anyone had any similar issues to this and are there any fixes that might work to prevent this from happening. It severely impacts my work as I'm not able to use Firefox until I restart it, and that would be happening ever 10–15 minutes.

Firefox performance on Vue.js has improved significantly throughout the year. Most recently, we sped up reactivity with Proxy optimizations.

Mozilla’s latest edition of *Privacy Not Included reveals how 25 major car brands collect and share deeply personal data, including sexual activity, facial expressions, and genetic and health information.

I use the Pin Unpin Tab add-on to be able to pin and unpin browser tabs via a keyboard command (Ctrl + Shift + P).

I noticed that this add-on has the permission “Access your data for all websites”. This seems unnecessary. What permission does this add-on really need?

Did Firefox removed saved credit cards recently? I no longer see it in my settings page for Android.

So this Tile Tab extension used to tile tabs properly, but the newer version just splits tabs as window split.
Was there any change in API or somthing that prevented developers from making such extensions?
Would love to see Tab Tiling feature like in Vivaldi, Edge or Arc. As I use sideberry, having split window and sideberry takes half of the space.

The next patch set has landed , bringing the TenFourFox security base up to 115ESR. This includes the usual new certificate roots and update...

due to disability, I need Vimium C - All by Keyboard extension, but it says
"This add-on is not actively monitored for security by Mozilla. Make sure you trust it before installing."

Can Mozilla add this functionality to Firefox so I dont have to install untrusted addon?

Yesterday, my 20ish open tabs acted as normal.

The X to close a tab was only present on the active open tab, with the rest not displaying it.

Today, after I updated Firefox Nightly to Version 119.0a1 (2023-08-30) (64-bit), it reopened and now there is no X to close even the active open tab.

I can't find any setting that controls this, no idea how it happened, but right clicking to close a tab is very cumbersome. Anyone know how to restore the X to close tabs like normal?

If you open a new windows in Nyxt browser, you'll notice that it will have the exact same tabs as the old window.

Same can be done with Emacs when in server mode: frames (windows) do share the same set of buffers.

I think this is a comfy feature, since windows' purpose is - IME - not to logically group tabs but rather only to give multi pane visualization when browsing.

So the question is: Is it possible to achieve this in Firefox?

I found three, Betterfox, arkenfox, & Narsil.

I been using Betterfox for the last week. I been liking it because Betterfox doesn't break sites. Back in the day, I tried arkenfox. But it break some sites I go to. Narsil is a fork of arkenfox.

I’m trying to switch to Floorp right now from Firefox, where I have both the regular horizontal tabs, and a flat vertical list with the Tree Style Tab extension. I use the later a lot, and while I could keep this setup in Floorp, I like that the vertical tabs can be native instead of using TST. However, it just feels weird to not have horizontal tabs. I think I might miss seeing a bunch of my tab titles at a glance with it, but I have to use it more and see how I feel.

So I'm using the same account with as close as possible same settings as in desktop and have synced my history, but on mobile the address bar suggestions are just all over the place. Suggesting me random urls i've visited maybe once over all the stuff I frequent and just completely missing most stuff. I firstly need suggestions based on browsing history secondly bookmarks, no open tabs or anything else.

Using both stable and nigthly I have the same problem. Is it the Android app not able to pull suggestion data from my account history or does it just handle them in a different way, preferring recency over the amount of visit times on a site maybe?

It would be nice to have consistent coloring on the phone.

I know I could use an addon like RunWith to download files to the Downloads folder without it asking where to save them, but I want files downloaded through Firefox the official way. I have “Always ask where to save files” unchecked in settings, but that doesn’t do anything.
