In Firefox 144, I can open vertical tabs and use Sidebery, but Firefox sidebar remains open on the side. I can remove it by setting always-show and hide-sidebar in config, but it reappears every time I restart.

Is there a way to permanently disable it?

I tried solo.ai, the new service made by mozilla for building your website. I couldn't finish the process because it requires me to disable uBlock.

By mozilla. Full of google's spyware.

Good night.

Anyone else having this issue? Not only the built-in find in page function but any input field on a page gets blocked if they are low enough to be completely covered by the keyboard popping up

Edit: I have the find in page search bar active in the image btw, though it isn't obvious

Firefox app on android. Never seen this before until today. But Firefox is now putting ads in the app?

Screenshot of a pop-up. It reads:

Color Inaccuracies Detected.

We have detected that your browser may have issues with color accuracy.

You may notice subtle visual noise and incorrect colors appear in your skins.

This issue is usually caused by anti-fingerprinting privacy settings in your browser.

this screenshot was taken on Miners Need Cooler Shoes

does anyone know what would cause this precisely? why would anti-fingerprinting mess with the colors i use to edit an image in the browser?

i'd be tempted to brush this off as the website being malicious and lying to get me to deactivate fingerprinting protection, but the website is fully open-source and what they describe happened to me on Piskel (a pixel art editor, which would constantly mess up my colors in subtle but annoying ways)

I just don't use tab grouping (yet) and I don't want this particular auto-group feature which I keep triggering by accident

I had this stupid idea after reading this to experiment with my internet habits. I'd like the address bar to only be used for URLs.

found the solution: set keyword.enabled to false

If you have an iPhone 15 Pro or later with iOS 26+, the summary is created on your device using Apple Intelligence. On other devices with earlier iOS versions, the page text is sent securely to Mozilla cloud-based AI, which creates the summary and sends it back.

Using Fennec F-Droid, some pages the progress bar hits 25% and then hangs for an amount of time between a couple minutes to forever. Usually the same page will always hang around the same time, but trying hours or days later it might work. Sometimes the page loads after a couple minutes, but if it doesn't, I can come back hours later and the progress bar is still at 25% for that tab. Killing the app doesn't seem to make a difference. I do use Ublock origin and one other extension to redirect reddit links to old.reddit.com. Haven't started disabling extensions yet, I wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing this on Android.

Misleading title (the one on the news article): Firefox added multiple chatbots, and only on nightlies.

I found these servers, but they all appear to be broken ?

https://github.com/balu-/FSyncMS/ https://github.com/posativ/weave-minimal https://github.com/mozilla-services/syncserver

Is there one that works ? And since they all seem to break eventually, how do I set firefox to not autoupdate past the last compatible version of my sync server, if I get one to work ?

thanks

4 years ago was the last update of this extension which was then abandoned by its (now unknown) author and eventually removed from AMO. I used it ever since when recently it started glitching a bit, so I decided to revive it with a small improvement upon the original: you can close it the same way it opens - with a click on its icon in the toolbar. The extension has finally been approved by AMO's team and it's accessible to be downloaded and installed. Screenshots and a video demo were added in the description on AMO.
