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.

I recently migrated to Librewolf from Firefox due to Mozilla's recent blunder of covertly adding adware to their browser.

I like the ResistFingerprinting feature for added privacy, but enabling it seems to set my browser time to GMT instead of ET, with most times on webpages (which refer to browser time) ahead by several hours as a result.

Can I define my desired timezone in the browser settings so I don't have to pick one or the other between a correct browser time and better privacy? TIA :D!

Is there a setting that can allow me to keep browsing history on LibreWolf "forever", i.e. without it expiring and getting dumped after some time?

It's not in the settings, but I'm willing to dive into about:config to do it.

Hi!

I was wondering if there is a way to update LibreWolf settings (those you can override) from LibreWolf itself, or I have to wait until a new release.

Thanks!

Could LibreWolf implement this? [https://mullvad.net/de/blog/introducing-defense-against-ai-guided-traffic-analysis-daita]

Firefox is just another US-corporate product with an 'open source' sticker on it.

Their version 128 update has auto checked a new little privacy breach setting.

Va, anem a posar-li una pega al @librewolf: no renderitza bé el terminal virtual de Digital Ocean.

A veure, ja sé que com a pega, és una mica meh, però és que si vaig dient que és guai així perquè sí, doncs tampoc mola, saps?

Missing Icons (kbin.run)
submitted 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) by DARbarian@kbin.run to c/librewolf@lemmy.ml
 
 

For a while now my Librewolf installation has been very weird with icons, converting them to little rectangles with what looks like UTF codes in them. On Piped for example, instead of the play icon it shows the literal word "play". Anybody know what may be causing this and/or how to fix it?

Hello, I have downloaded and installed Librefox (126.0.1-1) on MX Linux 23.2 minimal, with the commands from here: https://librewolf.net/installation/debian/

Although according to the policies.json it should install uBlock Origin, Librewolf didn't.

I can see on the Librewolf website that the preinstalled version is a custom version. Which settings should I activate in the default uBlock Origin to match it 100% to the customized version? Thanks!

I thought Mozilla was the one behind ECH. How is it enabled in Chrome, Edge, and Opera and not in Librewolf, let alone Firefox?

Is this a false negative from https://privacytests.org?

O @librewolf eh o melhor browser atualmente, no quesito privacidade/produtividade, quem discordar tah panguando

Hello @librewolf how is it possible to setup @keepassxc on macos with the browser addon? I cannot make it work. #Help would be greatly appreciated. #foss #privacy #keepassxc #librewolf #setup

I'm annoyed by the fact that using LibreWolf means that I lose on system theming and incorrect date and time on chat app.

DarkReader is unreliable, slows down performance of the page, and messes up theming. This is hurting my productivity. Any way to by-pass these two information?

Hello guys! I have done a fresh install of Arch Linux with KDE. The first thing to do was downloading Librewolf but there is an issue. I used an installation way that is without an AUR helper. And the package named librewolf-bin. System updated, git command executed, changed directory to librewolf-bin, executed the makepkg -si. But it couldn't verify PGP signatures.

Då var det alltså dags att byta webbläsare igen. Denna gången till @librewolf
Hittills har det gått väldigt smidigt.

Can't download Librewolf in Arch Linux + KDE Plasma 6

I'm trying to download it from AUR but it gives me error about gpg and closed DNS. Can't import the keys.

I believe the settings to disable this on Librewolf are set by default...

I am not able to download any files. It doesn't show an error or anything, it just doesn't download.

This only happens on XFCE but, for some reason, it does work on KDE.

I've already tried downloading files in Firefox and it also worked, so it's probably something with Librewolf.

I am using Arch (btw) and the Flathub version, if that helps

Edit: Unfortunately It seems that I won't be able to fix it so I'll just stay with KDE, and if I ever need to download something from XFCE I'll use Firefox ig, thanks everyone for the help tho :)
