I used them when they were released a while ago for the nightly version of Firefox, and actually in the stable channel we are in Firefox 130 and still no vertical tabs, does anyone know an aproximate version when they will be available for the stable channel?

Pretty interesting analysis from TechAltar about Mozilla usage and revenue trends, which aren't as dire as they're often made out to be, but how the search placement deal with Google is indeed endangered, which may be pushing them to their recent embrace of adtech as a new revenue source

Anyone know how? A bug that caused the issue that I can follow along with? It also randomly reset the name and icon in Niagara Launcher.

I know I can press right but I'm just wondering if it can be done by default.

I am unsure if this happened with the new update or if I noticed it only now, but I cannot add any tags while bookmarking a page from the star icon in the address bar. The whole 'tags' field as shown in the image is completely absent now when bookmarking in that way.

The only way to add/edit tags seems to be through the bookmark manager.

Is this a new feature or I simply realized it now?

Edit: if it's not a new feature, does anyone by any chance remember which version of Firefox last had that tags field?

Whether you just downloaded Firefox, or you’ve been with us since the beginning, you are a vital part of helping us make the internet a better place. Here's a sneak peak at what's coming next!

I deliberately set keywords.enabled to false so that misspelled urls don't end up at google, but now I just noticed that it's enabled again.

Is this a setting that gets reset over updates?

Can any devs comment?

EDIT

This issue may be due to WebRTC being disabled. WebRTC is required for google meet, but also used for fingerprinting.

Recently I tried to join a google meet meeting in my hardened config firefox browser, and google meet didn't let me in at all. I was confused as hell. I could join only on my phone, but not any of my three computers I tested it on. I then went into a virtual machine with regular firefox(also linux), and the meeting works. The only conclusion I can draw is that google is so desperate for my data that they refuse to service me unless I give them this.

This post intends to inform people that issues with google products may be related to their valid wish for security, and the actions they have taken in pursuit of that. The post also intends to inform people of a solution. The two apps that I recommend are:

  • Jitsi Meet: This is self hosted, but you can also make a meeting with jitsi's own servers. A excellent alternative to google meet, the only reason I didn't use it is that I had issues the day I needed to meet, and had to fall back to google meet instead.
  • Jami: This is a distributed-network chat and video calling app which is open source and a GNU package. It does require an app, but is free and open source and will serve your purpose.****_________

Did anyone else have any problems? It was working fine yesterday, but now it isn't, so I'm not sure if it is related to this version

Firefox Nightly 132.0b8 is working fine

edit: I should mention that I already restarted win11, restarted Firefox, tried under Firefox safe mode with extensions disable, but the problem persists

I recently switched from a MBP to a Framework 16 as my primary laptop and one thing I immediately noticed was that I was unable to stop kinetic scrolls in Firefox by laying my fingers onto the touchpad. It'd just slide by unimpeded. You could work around this by counter-scrolling a little rather than holding still which is how I've been coping with it but it's suboptimal to say the least.
(As are many things in the Linux touchpad experience. Linux desktop developers really ought to use a macbook for a little to get a sense for how to do this properly.)

This was caused by Firefox' use of GDK3 to implement its windowing and input needs which does not support hold gestures.

GDK4 does support them but, as I understand it, a port of Firefox to GDK4 would be a ton of work and there isn't really much desire for it as GDK4 doesn't offer many real advantages over GDK3 as Firefox doesn't use classical GTK widgets or anything and only really uses it for basic input/output primitives.

A backport to handle hold gestures in GDK3 too was attempted but, in classic GNOME fashion, it was rejected.

The implementation now somehow gets events from the touchpad directly via wayland somehow from what I could gather but if it works, it works.

You can try this out in the latest nightly builds.

Firefox users criticized the permanent 'List All Tabs' button introduced in version 131.0, leading Mozilla to make it removable.

The button, designed to manage hidden tabs and prevent add-ons from hiding them, received backlash for being unnecessary alongside Firefox View.

Mozilla responded with a fix in version 131.0.3, allowing users to remove the button through toolbar customization.
