someone in the mood to confirm a bug with me? I think this is new. Seeing this with F115 (on linux) on a clean, new profile. The code didn't change.

I used to be able to listen to a big audio file in a streaming manner when loaded from goldfire/howler.js library.

The new behaviour is: firefox will download the whole file before starting to play.

Example: (25MB bytes down will occur) https://jsfiddle.net/ugnt03jo/1/ -> click Run in upper left to render html

• if you have traffic stats on your system you'll see bytes trickling in the moment you render the html - not when you click the Play button. This is acknowledged in the devtools network-tab after it is fetched in full
• until fetched in full, the Play button will not stream the audio file

Is there a Keyboard Shortcut to put the focus on Firefox's Sidebar?

I use the Add-On "Bookmark search plus 2" which is really awesome. When I activate it's Keyboard Shortcut (Ctrl + Q), the Sidebar opens, but I have to use my mouse to click on the Sidebar to grant it focus. I looked around online and haven't found anything. If anyone knows of a way, a Keyboard Shortcut, a tool or another Add-On perhaps, please let me know! Cheers!

I really like using PWA's but FF does not allow them. I have seen a PWA extension but it requires a whole bunch of Software be added to achieve it.

Is there any other solution without resorting to a Chromium based browser ?

cross-posted from: https://beehaw.org/post/531479 Crossposting here as I saw this community mentioned on r/firefox.

FF's sync can be used to get the bookmarks onto a pc and then it can be exported. I've tried that and I do know that it works.

is there any other way to get it on Android Firefox(the stable/regular one, not beta or nightly, and on a non-rooted device). Is there any option to extract the bookmarks using usb debugging or so?

I've accidentally tapped the D key when using Alt+F to open the File menu a few times. There is no matching shortcut or close-window command in that menu, yet it instantly closes the window. Can someone tell me why?

I'm trying have firefox delete all site setting and cookies on close except a couple sites. I'm currently running firefox and firefox focus but rather just use one app.
I found https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1308719 but the setting for the desktop app and mobile are different.

Good news, Kingsoft Antivirus users.

Is anyone else having Firefox hang when enabling the Addon - Google Search Fixer? Every so often I no longer will be able to do anything on the tab. I have to close tab and open a new tab then search again.

I removed the Addon and don't seem to be experiencing these issues since I removed it. I prefer the format with the addon enabled, so I am hoping there will be a fix. It's been doing this for about a week or so now.

I have experienced this same issue on my Pixel phone and Samsung Tablet.

I know there are addons, but would be nice to have something native built in instead of having to trust an addon. Current method without addons that I know of is creating a container then deleting it, but that's not as convenient and pretty cumbersome.

Is there any about:config functions that might unlock what I want?

Most of the things on the internet relate to laptop users wanting to force firefox to use integrated graphics. I have a 3070ti and a 1660S and I want firefox to only use the 1660S for processing.

I have set the 1660S as the opengl renderer in nvidia settings and that changed nothing.
I've tried to disable primary gpu in device manager, then open firefox, then re-enable primary GPU and while that does make firefox switch the gpu in about:support it ends up crashing webgl and not really functioning correctly.
I've tried to change the power management settings in graphics settings and it still uses the 3070 as the primary.

any ideas?

Maybe you are already a Firefox user, we are part of a minority on the web today, and think that this text is not for you. You’re probably right, but I’d like to make a few points here and ask for your help in taking the web back before it’s too late. And if you don’t use Firefox, you’ve been using some version of Chromium (Chrome, Edge, Opera, Brave or Vivaldi) a few years ago this wouldn’t necessarily be a bad thing, but today it’s bad for the health and freedom of an web that respect privacy and is not controlled by capitalist corporations, the so-called Big Techs.

Specifically, when you open a reasonable number of tabs in any browser, the tabs look like this. However, as my friend has just imported all of his tabs and bookmarks over from Chrome to Firefox, he has an immense number of tabs open right now; in Chrome, he can see all the tabs at once with its UI. On Firefox, however, it keeps things actually legible by not squashing the tabs so obscenely.

"Okay, so I need some help. I've noticed Firefox doesn't show all tabs like Chrome does. Instead it shows a few, and makes me press a button to see more. Please, tell me there's a way to fix that."

I pointed out that this was an accessibility thing (being able to actually see and read the tabs is a useful feature) and they said it was "not good enough". Further explanation of basic things such as using their scroll wheel to scroll through their tabs, or double/triple clicking on the left/right arrows to jump by page or start/end, or using the Ctrl+# shortcuts, are all tools at their arsenal, but that also was not good enough. Personally I'm a 1,000-2,000 tabs kinda person and manage just fine with those instead of having each tab be literally a pixel wide, so I've never looked for an addon to crush all the tabs together like Chrome does, and my attempts at searching the extensions and themes has come up with nothing.

Is there something like this in the about:config page perhaps, or a convenient theme/extension/addon/plugin/etc that my friend can install to feel comfy using Firefox again?

Okay, so I want to request a feature, specifically a specific site specific subtitle wrapper for the website Weverse. You can see after some time why subtitles on pip would be useful on this website.

I was planning on posting something like this on Mozilla Connect (especially after being inspired by this feature request https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/loklok-website-subtitles-for-pic-in-pic-mode-being-left-out/td-p/19690 but I haven't seen others like it) but the comments redirect to a https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1765604#c0, but I am not a developer nor know how to code at all, so I'm wondering where to post this besides here and Mozilla Connect where they may see it?

Edit: last sentence, added another link, added "subtitle" in the first sentence. Also added a sentence.

Could someone confirm? The test page is here (Safari and Chrome behave correctly):

Highlights We were able to disable some Spectre / Meltdown JIT mitigations! Nightly-only for now. These were mitigations we deployed years ago to protect users against various timing ...

The Joy of Coding returns today with Episode 331! I'm going to be livehacking on Firefox, maybe reviewing some patches, but hopefully (finally!) working on those GTest tests for the new off-main-thread Windows Jump List backend we've built!

I haven't heard much about it since they launched it. Now would be the perfect time to open the gates. Twitter is dying, Reddit lost a chunk of users and the fediverse is growing rapidly as a result.

Kind reminder that uBlock Origin, an efficient blocker built by gorhill (Raymond Hill), works the best on Firefox. Spread the word!

Whatsapp Web performance problems with firefox on ubuntu

May and June were good months for Firefox's Speedometer performance compared to Chrome. We're closing in while Chrome seems fairly static. In this visualization, lower in the graph is better. From https://arewefastyet.com/win10/benchmarks/overview?numDays=60.

Is Firefox ESR more stable? Uses less memory? Have you tried it?

Not quite sure if I'm posting at the right place. I would normally be posting this on the Reddit r/Firefox channel. Anyhow, here goes.

I'm trying to get Firefox's Reader View function to work with Outlook Web Emails. It doesn't work on my end and I was wondering if it's perhaps because of a setting or another Add-On I'm using that might interfere with this function. On a side note, I tested another Reader Extensions via the Brave Browser. It seems to work when I'm viewing the overall Emails in the Inbox, but it still doesn't work with an opened Email. Microsoft never ceases to amaze... but anyhow, micro-rant aside, has anyone encountered this behavior? Are there any workarounds?

Here's my initial post on the Mozilla Help forum. I figured I'd try my luck here. Cheers!

Preferable wouldn't require rooting the phone, but curious to hear if there is a way that requires rooting also.

Faster debugging, ignoring lines of source, and more
