Been tinkering with alot of parameters in about:config, but I finally a viable solution:

We all know that changing mousewheel.default.delta_multiplier_Any particular Axis values changes the minimum number of lines being scrolled

But what this does not change is the sensitivity of the smallest "fling" gesture when scrolling with a touchpad.

Here's the values you want to alter when trying make the scrolling feel more "tighter" or more "Windows like" or to fix the issue described above:

set apz.fling_friction 0.002 --> 0.005

apz.fling_min_velocity_threshold 0.5 --> 1.5

the above will make the smooth scrolling with touchpad actually feel smooth and in control. As opposed to simply changing the delta multiplier values.

Is this fairly simple patch a step in the right direction?

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.

Hello all,

Firefox on iOS is for me lacking something : it's own engine. As Apple is forcing browsers to use their own engine, WebKit, Firefox on iOS is in the end not a lot more than a wrapper to Safari. And I'm not happy with that.

I remember reading news last year that Apple will be forced by the EU to get rid of this limitation and allow browser to use their own engine.

I stumbled upon a lot of articles dating February stating that Firefox is actively working on having Gecko on iOS, but I cannot find any news about that since.

Do somebody know where we stand with that ? Is it abandoned, still in progress ?

Firefox is my number one browser of choice, and the only mature and good alternative to Chromium based browsers today. I would love to be able to use it on my phone as well as on my desktop...

I am just curious because I had it off for a long time but have recently started to opt back in because I am too lazy to report every single bug I encounter when browsing the web but I do want to see Mozilla improve Firefox.

Download from source: release v1.2.4 (github.com)

• While Edge and Opera are awaiting approval, you can install v1.2.4 from here, or through the Chrome store

Hi everyone!

On the surface, this update brings a handful of features integrating the extension with other tools and services. We have the first of many features from the LemmyTools userscript, as well as the support for Alexandrite and Photon frontends. You can also directly search for communities through Lemmyverse.net and for posts through search-lemmy.com, among other small changes.

The biggest change was behind the scenes. I've completely refactored the code throughout the extension. Now that we have a clearer plan for the extension, I simplified all around, such as consolidating most functions to a central utils.js file. I also reworked the settings, and unfortunately this means you may have to add your home instance again. Moving forwards, it should be a lot easier to maintain the extension and for people to collaborate, which brings me to:

All new improvements with v1.2.4

Hello, so I'm using Garuda, is a bit customized but the desktop layout is still the same. I have Firefox, and as you can see, the window buttons appear on firefox itself, but I have on the top panel a widget for the buttons, so what happens is that when I have Firefox Opened, 2 rows of window buttons appear.

But I was trying out Mullvad Browser, which is based on Firefox, and the Windows Buttons appear only on the top panel, so is possible to do it.

I wonder what I have to do to have it this way on regular firefox.

Edit: I got a comment here to use the RunWith addon. I create a shell script to open images in the preview app.

Sometimes on my Mac I want to open a image that could be opened in a new tab, directly into the Preview app (the default photo viewing app). It would be great if I could have a context menu option when right click images, to open them in the app, I wonder if there's an addon to do this.

I have had these add-ons installed for a long time. But, do I need them all?

Hey! I am trying to ditch chromium based browsers on android. They have a feature of clearing everything including cookies on exit and you can set exceptions like example.com's cookies won't be cleared. There is that option on pc but I couldn't find it on the android app. Do you know a way? Thanks.

I'm using Firefox more as my first choice, but I can't get away from Chrome completely because of work. I still consider my Chrome bookmarks the "master" and occasionally sync them to Firefox. I would like to be able to bookmark something while in Firefox and then have it available from my other devices using either browser. Is there a way to have my bookmarks stored in a common location, like Google Drive, and accessed from either browser? I tried Floccus with Google Drive as the location but I can't get it to work.

@firefox Anyone got issues with youtube vids crashing after a couple of seconds? Tab does not react to inputs anymore - and the mouse pointer is gone within the tab. Closing the tab works.
Tried with all extensions disabled - same.
There's plenty of free memory, Processors are mostly idling - so not the usual stuff that brings ff down.
Sometimes a reboot fixes it for 1 or 2 vids, sometimes not. Any ideas appreciated (non-developer user, so please don't expect technical details, sorry)

I've been looking into moving over to Firefox from Brave and have added some hardening to Firefox. I think I may have done a bit too much but I'm not sure what to change. Brave and others render the terminal output fine but FF shows up like the pic attached. Anyone happen to know what I need to change to get it to show correctly? Thanks!!

@firefox Someone (or a bot, more likely) got trigger-happy with the Boost button and started flooding my stream with weird, no-context, OS fanboi toots.

You're coming across as a bored teenager, stop it. Firefox is better than this.

I'm trying to take a look at a scamming website, but it's using the debugger spamming to make reverse engineering difficult. Is there a way to just disable the debugger keyword? I don't really like to give the websites control over whatever I want to view.

As if it wasn't bad enough that they want me to use a random internet service to add a keyboard to a usb wifi receiver, they have the balls to put this for Firefox users. I clicked out of pure curiosity, as I'm not even remotely interested in involving a corporate internet service in getting my keyboard connected to my computer. This is the message you get now on Logi Options software if you have a Unifying Receiver:

For the curious: https://logiwebconnect.com

EDIT: some people on the thread have brought up that the error message being displayed for Firefox users is due to the WebUSB API not being implemented by Firefox due to security concerns. This still does not justify having to use a web app to plug peripherals to a PC.
