On firefox for Android, if you installed "Google search fixer" addon, it causes browser to freeze when interacting with images in Google search. Someone please report this to mozilla. Using the android browser without that addon is almost impossible.

Hey so I've been having this issue where the Ticketmaster website (no matter which country) does not work on Firefox... It just shows that message in the image.

I've tried disabling my VPN, uBlockOrigin, Privacy Badger, Firefox's Enhanced Tracking Protection, but no avail. I had to use G**gl* Chr*m* the other day to buy a ticket. Weird enough, I just tried using Firefox in my work laptop and the site worked without issues, even with uBlockOrigin and Privacy Badger enabled.

Any tips that might solve this without resetting my whole browser to default settings? Thanks!

Is there a add-on or something to store my about:config settings in cloud so when i distrohop i dont have to set it manually?

We've all turned off trimURLs but what else is hiding in there?

I just moved to a new phone and I just want all tabs bookmarked. Opening all of them on desktop won't work because that option usually only loads the first hundred or so before locking up.

Recently made the switch to Mint from Windows. I am having a problem with FF though. Randomly but very frequently I see your most basic page load very slow if not at all. I have disabled hardware acceleration as some research has suggested but it still has the same issue. This happens on both my laptop and desktop.

Have you ever been in a situation where you'd needed to work on different/new machines on a daily basis and wished there was a way to have all your essential Firefox configurations/addons/bookmarks on those machines without connecting your precious Firefix Sync account with all those stored passwords and credit cards?

So I frequently install firefox on different desktop devices and it’s a hassle to set up and configure all the privacy settings and extensions every time I install it on a new device.

Obviously using a FF account and sync would be the easiest way to set it up quickly, however the I don’t want to keep my account logged in on every device since some of the devices aren’t mine.

Having said that, is it possible for me to create a new sync account and configure it the way I want to; then log in on a new install, sync the config, logout, but retain my configuration there; essentially using the account to bootstrap config new firefox installations?

This isn't so much a support request as a piece of advice. I just wanted to pass along a heads-up to save someone else some work.

The Bionic Reader Firefox extension breaks my ability to comment and reply on Lemmy.

This Image is With the Extension Enabled.

As you can see, the reply button has been clicked. It's grayed out. But the page stays stuck there. And when I refresh, my attempted comment is nowhere to be found.

The Firefox error codes are also different between having this extension enabled and not having it enabled. I'll post those in the comments.

#TIL you can configure @firefox to resist fingerprinting by setting privacy.resistFingerprinting to true in your config. Just tried it and it greatly increased my score on https://coveryourtracks.eff.org ! 🕵️

tl;dr: With Lemmy Go you type lg beekeeping on the address bar and it takes you to the most popular beekeeping community, or you can pick one from the given suggestions.

Why

On Reddit, I had a simple search keyword for navigating directly to subreddits, where I could just type r firefox and be taken to reddit.com/r/firefox.

I wanted to have the same behavior for Lemmy, but the Fediverse makes this a lot more complicated.

So I made Lemmy Go to try and make it as simple as possible to jump to a community, or even find new ones more easily.

It's still a work in progress, so it might be a bit unstable and missing a bunch of features. But I've been using it myself for a few days, and it's already pretty helpful.

Usage

Type lg followed by a space (some browsers also accept tab instead), and then type the name of the community you're looking for.

Example: lg linux

Lemmy Go will search its database for any community that has the text linux in its name (e.g. linux_gaming) or title (Linux Gaming).

If you just type a community name and press enter, Lemmy Go will take you to the most popular community from that list.

If you don't press enter right away, you will be shown a list of communities that match that query. You can then select the specific one you want.

Preferred Instance

If you set your preferred instance in the user settings (click the extension icon), Lemmy Go will try its best to navigate to that community in your preferred instance, although this isn't always possible (in which case Lemmy Go will just navigate to the remote instance instead).

For instance, if your preferred instance is set to lemmy.ml and you select firefox@lemmy.world, Lemmy Go will take you to lemmy.ml/c/firefox@lemmy.world.

But if lemmy.ml blocks the lemmy.world instance, then Lemmy Go will take you to lemmy.world/c/firefox instead.

I have ff set to open everything in private tabs by default, but when i want to login to an account with my password manager i have to open ff, turn private browsing off and then paste the link from the password manager. I was wondering if some sort of syntax existed to tell ff to open it in a standart tab kind of like about:settings or mailto:
