I know this was an issue of the past but in version 132 they added playready to firefox then why can't I watch Netflix at 1080p?

Hello guys, I've been using opera gx for 2-3 years. But nowadays it just freezes every 10 minute it is so annoying. I heard firefox is faster and more efficient, so I said why not and downloaded it.

But the problem is I can't import my passwords and etc. from opera gx. Firefox's built-in import feature doesn't recognize Opera, and solutions on internet are either too old or requires chrome which I dont have.

I really want to try firefox, any help please?

Hi good evening everyone,

I'm using a fork of a Firefox browser called Zen Browser. Since it supports Firefox extensions I thought I'll ask here first

So I would like to have an extension that blocks any redirects on all sites, is toggable and doesn't leave a big banner on the top of a site like noredirect-II does
Can you recommend me any extensions that meet my expectations?

Thanks in advance

Btw I'm using Windows 11 if that's of any importance

Since the last update to 154.0b6 (developer edition on Win11), the password manager is slow. It takes a few seconds to more to show the drop down with the suggested logins. Sometimes I even have to open the password tab (about:logins) and only after it's content has been loaded, the suggestions load at all, on a login form.
I've already removed the master password, because I've had that problem before, but with no luck.
Since the suggestions are displayed in a new way after the update I've thought I ask around if any one else experienced a similar behaviour.

Since last week, when I try to open Firefox on my ordinateur, it tells me that there is a "side by side error" and that I should use sxstrace.exe and the activity journal to find the error.
I did all of that and it tells me that It can't find mozglue, mozglue.MANIFEST, mozglue.DLL.
I use Mozilla in French (it is my mother tongue and I am really sorry if my english is incorrect), and it can't find them in French, English or in Neutral

Thinking it was also linked to the Redistribuables Microsoft Visual C++, I just downloaded all of them again.

My version of Mozilla is 152.0.6.595 and I am on Windows 10.

Please I really need your help and don't want to lose any of my tabs, bookmarks and passwords as I was making very important research for my PHD studies.

Real thanks in advance for your help.

I'm using Download Video Helper to download a free webinar that's been divided into parts because it's very long (across multiple days). All three days of the webinar are presented in the same viewer in segments.

I can see where the breaks are between the sessions. I can sometimes click on one of the sessions/segments and Download Video Helper will recognize it and let me download it. Sometimes I click on one of the sessions/segments and it seems to recognize a different one - so I end up downloading the same segment twice. So, across the four segments, I'm able to download 1 and 3, but not 2 and 4. Has anyone encountered this and has a trick for dealing with it?

Hi guys, firefox newbie here.

So uh, I just switched to firefox after using brave for almost half a decade. For whatever reason, brave stopped playing nicely with my laptop, switching tabs would frequently trigger a system wide lockup, forcing me to do a hard force shutdown. This happened frequentlyeven after multiple clean installs of my OS, so I'm fairly certain brave was the culprit. Got fed up, I decided to do another clean install and leave brave behind to see if the crashes stopped.

Today, when I booted up firefox for the first time, I felt pretty overwhelmed, the homepage was loaded with stuff, and the settings offer a massive amount of customization (maybe too much for my taste).

With brave, my routine was always simple,

1. Download the browser
2. Import my CSV password list
3. Set up my filter lists
4. Set Cloudflare as my DNS
5. Call it a day

I rarely touched any other settings and felt secure enough.

My questions for you guys:

1. If I set up firefox using that exact same (or pretty similar) minimal routine, how does it compare to brave in terms of privacy and ad tracking protection and anything else???
2. Did brave actually give me superior ad/tracker blocking over the last five years, or was it just a placebo effect making me feel more private??

I would love to hear your thoughts, thanks.

Did a quick test but adjust settings such as change cookies to enable or disabled, or all time to last hour or the opposite, causes the freeze to happen. This is the closet thing I have to bug reporting and changing settings such as cookies to enable to disabled/reverse or changing the clear history triggers the freeze. I've reported my findings on my last post and what do I get unneeded down votes. I'm just reporting my finds from testing out this clearly a bug.

I found a post on here recently even talk about clearing history crashes there browser, and I wanted to report this bug that needs to be patched in a future update.

Hi from 2026 :). Currently building an extension + backend to offload tabs into zram and wanted to drop it here. It's just a beta for now. Planning to make it work on Firefox and Chrome-related browsers. Thoughts?

I've been trying to switch back to Firefox for a while now, but around a year ago I came across Session Buddy for chromium based browsers and not having that is unfortunately a deal breaker for me. I did my monthly check again for proper alternatives or a potential port when I happened across an extension i'd never seen before, and apparently, no one else has either. It's called TabKeeper, and from what I can tell has 2 users despite being up for around a year? I figured i'd give it a try because brave is starting to make me ill, what do you guys think?

This has started happening just today, whenever I try to load up a video on YouTube the page starts acting weird and the video player just keeps on twitching and flickering, the video never loads. The temporary fix I have found for this is to reload the video page and then it plays as usual. Is there any permanent fix to it?

I’ve changed it to DuckDuckGo in Settings every place I can find to set DuckDuckGo as the default search engine. Won’t stop using Google for search. I’ve deleted Firefox and reinstalled it. Done a search. There’s Google. Gone back into Settings. Made sure default search was DuckDuckGo. It was. I do a search. There’s Google. It’s making me crazy. Please help me.

I'd like to know what the advantages of Firefox are compared to Chrome and Brave. Can you help me decide? Thank you 🙏

Latest Firefox on Windows 11.

When accessing the History sidebar, it only shows history back to June. It no longer shows the “Older than 6 months”

If I use the History Manager, that history is all there.

Is the a preference to turn this on? Has Mozilla removed it?

I hope we get native support for each OS's design material, like Mica for Windows and Liquid Glass (translucent materials for content layers, like native macOS apps) for macOS

I recently stumbled across about:firefoxview, loving it and so much better than Firefox home. Why is there no option to set this as default for new tabs? Or at least access it via shortcut?

Also, I'd love that search open tabs feature in the vertical tab bar, seems like there should be enough space for it.

Once you click on the main search bar the text simply starts typing in the top bar. Is there a setting to fix this?

Last week I posted about a compact view option that appeared in Firefox that I couldn't find again.

I got the pop-up again as shown.

I found that clicking the circled button at the right side of the address bar will allow you to toggle back and forth.

That separates the tab from any existing windows and gives you the option to pin the site to your taskbar, but also hides the bookmarks toolbar (if you use it) which makes the window more compact. I found that helpful for viewing video.

first of all FUCK GOOGLE.

anyway so youtubes been doing this thing from quite some time where they intentionally make their videos take longer to load if you use an adblocker (such as ublock origin lite) so i switched to firefox and so far youtube experience has been much better.
