After the recent update (130.0-1) my settings in the “DNS over HTTPS” settings are no longer saving and are reset to “Increased protection” with the Mozilla DNS server every time I close the browser.

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

Hello @zenbrowser why I cant have the same protection using zen versus @librewolf ?

I tested it with https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/

and still it says that zen is partially blocking some trackers.

I checked the settings, many things looks the same but apparently not enough...

If you have any information on this it will be great.

Hi, I got an error "could not find the path to Librewolf" when clicking on LibreWolf-Portable.exe It was working pretty well before this issue. How can I fix this trouble, please ? platform : Windows10 Home

If I want to know if my version is up to date without issues, I should be able to find that information very quickly and plainly on the website as an external verification source. It could be on a page or on something like the menu or landing page footer. I just checked all of these. Finding this information is not obvious to me. I want to know this directly and without in-browser, distro, or other influences.

WTF @librewolf - you had only one job and you are failing in it.

"No telemetry" -> first thing Librewolf does is connect to Mozilla telemetry services.

Found out this by having @littlesnitch@mastodon.obdev installed.

Блин очень большие надежды испытывал на переезд на @librewolf но к сожалению, google meet и другие популярные штуки для онлайн конференций отказались нормально работать с камерой и микрофоном.

А еще при попытке оплатить через СПБ, почему-то отказывается нормально выводить QR код. :-(

Пришлось откатить на @FirefoxNightly

Может кто есть из пользователей @librewolf дайте совет, как вы его настроили, что не всплывает таких косяков?

Hi everyone,

Is there somewhere a list of all the changes made compared to Firefox ?

edit:

~~Sorry if it's been already asked over here, but it seem that Lemmy do not provide a search within a Community 😮~~

no, actually we can, there isn't a shortcut to make such a search. and no ability to limit the search to the titles..

*Wubba Lubba dub-dub*

I have been using @librewolf on my desktop for a long time and not a Chrome browser or those based on it. Now don't tell me you have nothing to hide and wonder why you've been cheated on before.

Just switched from Librewolf Flatpak to the rpm. Now double click to select text doesn't work. To select text, I need to drag my cursor over the text to be selected while holding left click. Is there any way to fix this?

Two days ago, LW started behaving very oddly. It suddenly stopped rendering pages - but only on some sites. For example, the default Lemmy skin is fine but the Alexandrite skin is not. The BBC website doesn't work either. A few others seemingly totally random.

The domain resolves and it makes the initial connection and then it takes up to a minute of doing nothing and then just craps out, unable to render the page. Checking the Inspector reveals no errors or warnings and the network inspector is making a connection but not loading anything other than headers and basic tags.

The page presents no errors it just shows a blank screen. <html> <head> and <body> tags load but nothing else.

All these pages work fine in all other browsers I've tested in (floorp, Mullvad, vanilla FFox and Brave).

Details: LibreWolf 128.0-2 (flatpak) on LMDE (Faye).

Any clues, pointers or advice very gratefully received. I love the browser and have it set up just how I like it so don't really want to switch to another.

@librewolf Cannot login to sncf-connect.com

I'm using LibreWolf since a few days, and I love it ! But when I try to login to sncf-connect.com I get bloqued. I've added this domain to the exceptions, as well as monidentifiant.sncf. When I login, I get a captcha, and after solving it, I a bloqued... Am I missing an option to allow this website to work ? Thanks !

I almost gave up and uninstalled Librewolf. For a full month but now I just want to say thank you for restoring ALSA again. For some reason it was disabled in version 128 and required Pulseaudio in order to work. which requires sudo in my case, and that caused me huge grief.

Présentement en train de tester @librewolf en remplacement de #firefox
les extensions "Simple tabs groups" et "Tab manager plus", non fonctionnelles, me manquent un peu, "Tabby" semble faire le job cependant

i wonder if anyone can help me understand why the librewolf instructions for installation point to gitlab whe they moved to codeberg? https://librewolf.net/installation/linux/ shows: flatpak install flathub io.gitlab.librewolf-community im just curious. thanks

It's weird that the default homepage doesn't have the LibreWolf logo. It would make sense, right?

Hey @librewolf crew! I just made the switch after decades of loyal #Firefox use. Lost my patience for the find-the-new-anti-features-and-disable-them-game.

Thanks for existing! I couldn't find anyplace to donate. Please tell me how you could take my money.

File not found LibreWolf can’t find the file at jar:file:///D:/PortableApps/LibreWolf/LibreWolf/omni.ja!/chrome/toolkit/content/global/config.xhtml. How to solve it?

Hello I use librewolf on arch. I have installed it from flatpak. The sounds does not play when I play a music or video in LW. The laptop does not have any software or hardware problem because I can open musics or videos with any problem in other apps. What could be the problem?

I'm new here and am not sure if this is the right place to post a question about Librewolf. I found this area from the Librewolf site when trying to find a support forum of sorts. If this is not the place then I apologize and will know for in future.

I've found that my custom shortcuts on a website I built, no longer work as expected. For some reason, when I type "s" with the caps lock key on, it is treated as if I had typed "shift" + "s" to give the capital "S". This would normally be fine, but my site has shift + s treated as my "save" shortcut in Javascript, because ctrl + s triggers the browsers save page functionality. My custom shortcut works in traditional Firefox, but not Librewolf. Is there a reason that the caps-lock key converts the key events to as if we were holding down shift? Is there a way to disable this?

Hi there, just started using Librewolf and when im using a terminal via the browser Librewolf is loading it rather weirdly. How can I fix this? This website in specific is supposed to load my terminal.

I foggily remember that I didn't like it displaying 'Manage bookmarks' when there were no bookmarks. I guess I feel that way because I hadn't had enough sleep.

I've written a web app that uses ctrl+alt+ shortcuts because they don't interfere with the many expected ctrl- shortcuts. Librewolf blocks these shortcuts because of RFP, apparently. As a result I have to disable RFP for my site (or just be annoyed all the time), and I guess I'll have to advise my users to do the same.

I haven't found any doc that explicitly discusses the justification for disabling alt shortcuts. There is a bug about how ctrl- was broken for a while. This page doesn't mention alt either, that I can find.

I can guess that it probably allows identifying some keyboards somehow. Just would like to read up on it so I can at least understand what the issues are with the alt key.

@librewolf should have an importer for firefox, not only chrome and safari.
