edit: It turns out it was because I had made a minor change in my firefox config to make my browser cosplay as an edge browser (so I can use their new search AI), it's because of that minor change that I am facing this problem. Revert back and everything works out.

I have had this problem for a few days now, Firefox has been distorting the voice of videos for a good while now and I don't know the cause of the problem, it's unlikely the extensions are doing it because I tried opening a random reddit video on a private tab and it didn't work out either. Any help regarding this would be helpful!

This is the original video, again, I am not into the politics of it, but this video was instantly available and I recorded it.

Here is what I heard: https://imgur.com/a/kYxyBvV

Which extensions do you like the most for the usecase described in the title?

Firefox has a link that goes to their sister kbin community, but you don't see it until you click chat with us. So I don't think lot of people knew /r/firefox has gotten set up on the fediverse.

I don’t know what it is on Firefox but Lemmy is just terrible on it. It takes forever to load or just won’t load icons and everything. Whenever it does that I just need to retype in Lemmy.world in the address bar and then it’s good for like 3 minutes and it happens again. I don’t experience this on any other browser.

Does anyone else experience this? I’m on iOS. Firefox on my android tablet is also buggy along with my iOS experience

Looking to move to Firefox but I definitely need something like edge drop. I know FF used to have a very similar product but it was discontinued. Any suggestions?

For example, let's take the website github.com

If you don't want to have to log in everytime you restart the browser, you have to whitelist the entire website as follows

But you would only need to whitelist the following cookies to do so.

on .github.com
logged_in

on github.com
_device_id
user_session
__Host-user_session_same_site
_gh_sess

I found an add-on called "Cookie Quick Manager" which is a great way to consult your cookies on a per-site basis, is container aware, it's great.

In that add-on there was a "protect cookie" function

Unfortunately, it would only only protect cookies from getting deleted by "Cookie Quick Manager" and not firefox's "delete data when Firefox is closed" but that would have been a fantastically convenient way to handle this

I think what would make sense would be the ability to append cookie name and container names to the "delete data when Firefox is closed" exception list

So instead of just

https://github.com

You might be able to specify containername!cookiename@https://github.com

With both the containername part and the cookiename part being optional limits to the whitelisting

Here is a mockup of what that might look like

Inb4 I know I have an old phone with low storage and old Android 9 and a slightly outdated Fenix fork (IceRaven/Fenix 112) with a bunch of extensions and the problem could be in any of these. Just wanna know if it's definitely on my end or maybe not. Because I never have this kind of problems with any other web site.

Anyway. I tend to use permanent Private mode apart from a couple PWAs, including some Lemmy instances. My "home" lemmy.world with 0.17.4 works well enough.

But I just realized that when using instances on 0.18 like lemmy.ml or lemmynsfw, minimizing the PWA (going to phone home screen) crashes the entire browser, including any other windows.

So, is it just me?

For comparison, I tried it on Bromite (yes I know it's not developed anymore): using the add home shortcut for 0.17.4 lemmy.world just indeed adds a browser shortcut. With 0.18 instances, the shortcuts make Bromite act like proper PWAs without the address bar etc. But not crashing.

I use uBlock Origin and make some changes to the default settings. Have seen recommend configs, but haven't gotten to implement them yet.

What do you do to make Firefox even more privacy respecting and secure?

I was using the I don't care about cookies addon but there was talking about the development going in a shady direction so I got rid of it.

Currently I'm using the ublock origin annoyance filters which works only half of the time.

Which filter list would you recommend?

Is there a better way to handle this or is ublock origin still the way to go (for cookies, ad blocking is great).

my firefox (iOS) enabled sponsored shortcuts and I hate it. Yes I can disable it - I still hate it.

Don't get me wrong, I like Firefox a lot, but needs polishing.

I like -impopular opinion- the Proton UI (aka rounded tabs), containers are great, but has some flaws:

• No PWA support
• Bookmarks and history panels are unpractical (menus for both options are almost unusable)
• A separate window for downloads, managing bookmarks? Really?
• Pocket by default?

We need alternatives to Chromium, and Firefox is the "go to" option, but sometimes is disappointing to use it.

I hate having to save shit to my laptop when sites won't let me paste instead of upload. Alternative anything that lets you access clipboard from windows file explorer could work too

#firefox #opera

Is there anything like that? Most of these banners are invasive and I generally decline all by default, besides necessary ones.

I have "I don't care about cookies" extension on desktop, although it doesn't really fix it most of the times. Also, some sites keep showing them if I navigate through it or refresh the page.

But for Android I couldn't manage to find any extension for it.

Is anyone aware of any?

Extension to make it easy to interact with different Lemmy communities

Firefox vs Chrome in 2023? Which one is better?

Dark Reader ~~Pro~~ seems to be the best but I feel it slows down page load time. Is there a better alternative?

In the past couple of days both Pipewire (and with it libcamera) support and hardware video decoding with V4L2-M2M landed for Firefox to work better on Linux smartphones, which development for has started to grow exponentially in the last months. Great news overall for the future of the mobile platform!

On desktop I am using Firefox since I can remember. The main reason being the good add-on support and the privacy friendly image of the browser. Although there might be better solution to keep my own data privat, Firefox always felt like the sweet spot between privacy and usability. Now I am using an iPhone and first thing I did, was to install Firefox. But after I learned that all browsers on iOS have to use the WebKit engine, I am wondering what difference it makes to use Firefox there. Is it on iOS more like a skin for Safari, or how much does ist affect the inner workings of the browser? What are the biggest differences?
