Does @firefox not support wasm on #riscv? I see back in janurary spidermonkey js was ported to riscv but i dont see any references to the wasm side of things and it looks like a test wasm video editor doesn’t work on my #pinetabv while the js portion works fine https://d2jta7o2zej4pf.cloudfront.net/

I've made the mistake of building my workflow around a non-open thirdparty tool... Tactiq automatically saves the transcriptions of online meetings on google meets and Teams. I know both allow you to save transcripts if you're the meeting organizer but I'm usually not the organizer. I've tried to find similar tools for Firefox but haven't found much and what I did find didn't work the way I expected.

Is there anything that does a similar job but works with Firefox and preferably saves everything locally.

source code is availabe here. I'd appreciate feedbacks!

Hey everyone, check the Linguist

• you can translate texts offline (with sent no one single byte to a Google and stay private)
• a lot of features and flexible configuration
• dictionary + history for learn languages
• it is are hackable - you can write code to use your own translation service

Why @firefox is not implementing this UI by default and why none of the Firefox-derived web browsers implementing this.

I somehow managed to build this, but its not prefect.

@librewolf

At this point the there has been almost no significant improvement.

Hoping @firefox wont forces me to move to brave.

EDIT:- New UI with Minimize Close Maximize button, giving space which can be used to drag.

When you open a new tab, you can instantly start typing and press ENTER which sends your query to the search engine.

However once that's done, there's no easy way to edit the query directly from the URL bar. The URL bar will contain, well, the URL and not the original query anymore.

Is there a way to edit the search query w/o using the search engine's web page or retyping the whole query again? In other words, is there a way to tell Firefox to show me the previous query in the URL bar instead of showing the URL?

I'd like to try to send as many queries as possible to Google directly from Firefox rather than using Google's webpage (more $$$ for Firefox.)

Some setting in about:config maybe? It's kinda ridiculous that it disappears with like 12 tabs open.

(I know I can click scroll-wheel on my mouse to close it, but it's still a problem when I'm using trackpad)

I run Windows 10 and I have never done anything with Profiles at all. I am completely new.

When I go to about:profiles I see three Enteries,

• Profile: default-release
• Profile: default
• Profile: dev-edition-default

Of which default-release seems to be default. Indicated by Default Profile: yes

First off, why are there 3 profiles if I never created one?

In Each profile, there is Root Directory and Local Directory which point to the same directory in all 3 cases. What are the differences?

The French government is considering a law that would require web browsers – like Mozilla's Firefox – to block websites chosen by the government.

After the last 2 update I noticed that a lot of times fennec and mull just hangs or freezes when opening a website and needs to be force closed with cache cleared. I disabled dark reader and so far the issue hasn't happened. Is this just in my case or are others also experiencing it as well? Edit: I also have ublock origin if that matters

I originally wrote IPvFoo for Chrome in 2011, to observe whether websites are served using IPv4 or IPv6:

https://github.com/pmarks-net/ipvfoo/

In 2017, Firefox added initial WebExtensions support, so I dropped the extension on addons.mozilla.org, technically functional but full of bugs, and hoped for the best.

This week, I finally sat down with Firefox and ironed out all the problems:

• Added a separate manifest.json that uses "scripts", as Firefox Manifest V3 doesn't support "service_worker"
• Added a button to grant webRequest permissions, as Firefox Manifest V3 doesn't do this automatically
• Hacked the popup dialog to avoid unnecessary scrollbars
• Added an in-RAM hostname-to-IP cache, as Firefox doesn't remember the IP address of cached requests
• Examined details.documentUrl when handling requests from a Service Worker, as Firefox doesn't use details.initiator

I'm pretty sure that covers everything, so IPvFoo now provides an equivalent user experience on Chrome and Firefox. Enjoy!

#firefox wont let me paste anything in #whatsapp web ???

@firefox

edit: Yeah, the problem has worsened.

So yeah, I wanted to paste a video on chatbox of a friend on Whatsapp web but I wasn't able to. When I tried to find a solution for it, I found this (Mozilla forums link) and it says, I have to reset my firefox browser. Now, my firefox is pretty customized, is there a way to save the extensions I have downloaded and their settings before I purge everything basically?

I use Linux btw, but, this is not Distro specific. If you follow the forums link, you would see that that guy was using some shitty distro called Windows 10

PS: I love firefox and can never bring myself to use Chrome, but this has been a utter waste of time and I wish I didn't have to do this. This wasted a lot of time.

As of last night, my Logitech mouse's custom functions no longer seem to function with Firefox, and only button defaults are working.

This seems to be regardless of restarting/updating Firefox, computer restart, etc. Works everywhere else on the computer just fine, and giving Firefox specific custom functions with Logi Options+ doesn't fix the issue. Anyone have any idea what's going on or if there could be a work-around? Would be incredibly thankful of even just any info of what could be going on.

On Windows 10, mouse is M510 if it's relevant.

Background

I'm using GNOME and it has this problem where it deletes all notifications coming from a single application when they exceed 3, so, without even having many websites that send notifications, I find myself opening the browser, getting a slew of them and most disappear immediately to make way for the others that all come in quick succession, so I don't get the chance to actually read them.
That's especially annoying when I spot a notification, try to dig up where it could have come from and don't manage to find anything, either because the website redacted it or because I misread it at a glance so I'm unable to point to which one it could have been

Actual question

How do we keep in a log all the notifications that are coming through? Preferably not in a way that is dependent on the OS, with Dbus in this case, but all inside Firefox

Look at it! What is that? It looks kind of like a cross section of a human, kind of, except the eyes are pools of blackened fire and the brain is sending electrical pulses out to... are those Jupiters? Why? Why??? This is absolute nightmare shit lol

I generally have a "home" Firefox window with my most used tabs pinned. Sometimes I close it before another window, so I was frustrated to "lose" it and having to redo my pins. But recently I discovered this feature. Joy!

I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature, but I noticed that closing all windows when in private mode, does not trigger the deletion of the session and cookies. Steps to reproduce:

1. Open private window in FF
2. Login into any website in the private window
3. Go to tabs overview and tap on "close all windows"
4. Go to website from before.
5. See that I'm still logged in

Is this on purpose? If yes, why?

Firefox has been improving drastically in terms of performance with every release. It's pretty evident in recent months, which is very heartwarming to be honest.

I, however, do to some bad circumstances, have been stuck with a not-so-good laptop (8 GB RAM, a 6th gen processor in AMD A8 7410) and Firefox doesn't run that well on it. This is something that I've observed with Firefox- if you have a decent machine then it will run amazingly fast. However, on lower-end machines, performance can be a struggle AT TIMES.

Any tips on making this browser run at it's best potential on a weak system are appreciated!

I'm not talking about an extra 10-15sec, but easily 2-3 full minutes (I've sat here with a timer checking) to load pages, sometimes not loading them at all. Particularly with login pages, but even just homepages.

Dropbox, Cloudflare, Various companies forums, My bank, Google; each of these sites and more I've had firefox either not load at all, or take so long I've been able to copy the link into Chrome, do what I need there, then come back to Firefox still 'loading' a blank white page.

I just don't understand. I want to migrate away from Chrome and use Firefox, but it's been unusably slow when it even loads anything at all.

P.S. In the time I've taken to write this (~5min) plus the time to decide to post and find this community firefox has still not loaded my cloudflare dash... (typed in the address, waited a while, gave up and came here but left it open)

/edit: I should note I have ublock installed, but I get the same results with it disabled most of the time.

As in title - is there a way to opt out from getting beta updates on Firefox Developer Edition? I don't want to constantly restart my browser, also it crashes a lot most likely because I'm always on beta version (currently on 117.0b8).
