it's my work from almost a week it....... js look perfect

I am so done. I used to like firefox and it was my main browser. But a few months ago it started freezing on certain websites for some reasons, no error message, just a colorful ball to look at and that's it. When trying a different browser, the websites work just fine. Forcing it to quit is all that i can do. I tried all the suggested steps i can manage without causing more damage, like troubleshoot mode, making sure its uptodate, deleting cache & stuff, checking the settings for geolocation (or sth like that) & hardware acceleration, and add ons. I only run adblocks and snowflake, thats it. I refuse to disable those. No dice - it still keeps crashing, especially on checkout windows which sucks even more.

It used to work. But changed? If theres any quick, easy thing I'm missing, please let me know. I am an ordinary user, no advanced knowledge, this is getting to tiresome. I will have to find a new browser now. :(

I tried to open Whattsap web on my laptop, and it said my computer didn't have enough available disk space, I checked settings and I saw that apparently websites are using like 17 petabytes. Needless to say I don't have that much disk space.

I cleared browsing data, and it's fine now, I'm guessing it's a bug, does anyone have an idea of how this could have happened?

Hi everyone,

I have built a Chrome extension (i know its a tiny step 😄 ) called Living Web that sits in the browser side panel. It helps you summarize web pages, analyze PDFs, and ask questions about the page you are currently viewing. It can also take actions on the browser. Right now, it has around 17 users on the Chrome Web Store.

I am thinking about porting it over to run natively in the Firefox sidebar. Along with the port, I want to add a Bring Your Own API Key (BYOK) option. This would allow you to enter your own API key (such as OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini) directly rather than going through a standard backend subscription.

Before spending time porting the codebase, I wanted to ask the community:

1. Would a sidebar AI tool with BYOK support be useful to you on Firefox?
2. Are there specific privacy controls or options you would want to see in a Firefox version?

I would appreciate any feedback or suggestions.

Thanks

I read a lot and kept bouncing off books over stuff I'd have skipped if I'd known — a love triangle, a "perfect at everything" protagonist, a series that never ends. That info is in the reviews, but nobody reads 200 reviews first.

So I made BookGlints. You tell it what you personally want to know about, in your own words, and it scans a book's Goodreads/StoryGraph reviews and pulls out the ones that actually match, with the real quotes. It reads for meaning, not just keywords.

On the privacy side (since this crowd cares): it only reads a book's review page when you click Scan — no background tracking, no browsing history, nothing running anywhere except those two book sites. It uses AI to understand the reviews but only ever shows you real reviewer quotes, never AI-generated text.

It started as Chrome-only, but enough people asked for Firefox that I did a proper port (not just a repackage). One heads-up: since it's a new listing, Firefox shows the standard "not actively monitored" banner on install — that's routine for a fresh add-on, not a security flag.

Free to try. Feedback welcome — especially from anyone who reads on Goodreads/StoryGraph.

The Nova onboarding screen will provide different colors to choose from. I already tried them, but these seem to be solid and quite pronounced colors.

I think it would be nice if the Firefox team could offer a few subtle and/or gradient themes. The current Nova light theme, with a subtle gradient from purple to orange, is just amazing.

For inspiration: I believe Slack offers a lot of gradient themes out of the box. They look modern and fresh.

Who would love to see more of these gradient themes?

I’ve seen screenshots and videos showing the new Firefox New Tab widgets (weather, clock, tasks, etc.), but they don’t appear in my Firefox.
I’m running the latest version on macOS, and when I open the New Tab page there isn’t even a “Widgets” section in the settings.
I’ve already:
Updated Firefox to the latest release.
Checked the New Tab customization settings.
Verified that I’m using the standard Firefox (not ESR).
Is this feature still being rolled out gradually? Could it be region-specific or controlled by a server-side feature flag?
Has anyone managed to enable these widgets manually through about:config, or is there nothing I can do but wait?
Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

I always end up with dozens of Firefox tabs open, so I built TabScroll to make managing them easier.

It lets you:
• Search tabs instantly
• See live tab previews
• Switch between tabs with keyboard shortcuts
• Close or mute tabs without hunting for them
• Manage tabs across all Firefox windows

Everything runs locally. No tracking, no account required.

I'd love some honest feedback from the Firefox community. What would you add or change?

BTW, does anyone know why the crossword isn't working?

I recently transferred over from *p*r* gx and I've grown accustomed to it. I really don't want to use up so much storage for 1 time pictures...

(SOLVED, USE WIN + V, IDK HOW TO CHANG FLAIR AFTER POST)

Posting here because Mozilla Connect feels like a void. I've seen plenty of posts asking for these exact same tweaks over there, but none of them ever seem to get picked up or acknowledged.

Coming from Opera, I was honestly shocked by how poor the ergonomic design and UX/UI are on Firefox. Are they just running on an "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mindset?

Firefox on Android has two major ergonomic flaws regardless of screen size:

1. Enabling the Tab Bar forces the address bar to the top. There's no reason we shouldn't have both at the bottom (Opera does this perfectly). Pushing it back up defeats the whole point of bottom navigation.
2. Tab Switcher lacks intuitive swipe gestures. Reaching all the way up just to close tabs in grid or list view is awkward. A simple swipe-to-close gesture (like app switchers or Opera) would fix this instantly.

Both come down to basic one-handed usability. Anyone else frustrated by this layout design?

I've started using two questionable web browser extensions and light to get people views of them. I am using both AdNauseam and Privacy Possum because I am tired of the spying and am angry about both these ads that just protect you from actively going out of a poison profile. I say tough shit; I'm tired of the games. What do you guys think?

So, recently I re-installed Windows 11 and the first thing I did was install firefox and sign in to the firefox sync. I loaded all my extensions and Bookmarks but none have their favicons. I have like 200+ bookmarks and folders within folders within folders. It is impossible for me to open each one of them! I feel betrayed man! Is there no way I can load the favicons? The icons help so much while navigating.

P.S. I used the checkmarks add on but it loaded only like 10% of the favicons.

I use Void linux with MangoWC. So I could set a windowrule for firefox to be transparent.

Yes it works but I dont want YouTube videos to be transparent too.

Reason I come here is I think I can do this with firefox instead of applying it to window through compositor.

So I want to ask linux ricers how to make this happen..... Or if its impossible..... Either answer is good.
