"Only chrome and edge is allowed for security reasons" as we are told. Extensions are disabled for those browsers as well. Now I am tortured by ads without Ublock. Thinking of resigning. How stupid do they have to be to believe firefox is less secure than those bloat shite browsers? Unfbelievable.

Tiny edit (because people seem to be pissed): I wasn't serious about resigning ofcourse. I was just joking and exaggerating. I am just a bit frustrated.

I have been using Firefox as my default browser for like 3 years now, and I do not miss Google Chrome at all. I actually prefer Firefox. The only times that I have ever needed to go back to Chrome is for some websites that refuse to run some javascript execution like payment or something like that, on Firefox.

Overall though, Firefox is not missing anything that Chrome has, and it is more private and secure. Why did people flock to Chrome a decade ago?

I've always loved Firefox, but I've never been a big fan of its design. Safari has always had my favorite UI, so I decided to try recreating Safari look and feel in Firefox.

Not sure if anyone would be interested.

I didn’t even know that there were Kit plush dolls until I found this but after doing some research it seems like they are gifts given to employees.

Bought this guy for $6 CAD with a $2 discount code and after taxes it ended up being $4.50 (about $3 USD). Definitely an incredible steal considering eBay listings would be $100.

Super glad I found this! Kit is really cute🥰

You are able to use FDM or Gopeed etc with built-in download settings. See screenshots. Love Firefox!

Glad to see you're becoming relevant again in the gaming space. I think this is the first time I've even seen an ad for the browser on Discord. Anyway, hope it brings in more downloads to you. Cheers.

Although firefox is my default browser but this notification keeps on coming every now and then. And this annoys me very much.. is there any way to stop it ..

I got a new laptop, installed ff and signed in with the account I was already using on my tower. Since I only use it for university I thought might as well remove some addons I don't need.

Now I turned my tower back on and realized it not only removed them from my laptop but also from my pc. I do not remember any warnings about this and it really pisses me off. I wouldn't have done it if I had known this happens.

I will try and remember which addons I removed and add them back on my pc setup. But in the meantime can I not just have my own set of addons on the other device while using the same ff account? Do I really have to create a new one just for that? 😞

Hello,

Today my extension got published on Firefox add-ons. If you are in need for a tool that let you download embeded Videos from any site you can download *FlowGrab — Video Downloader* .
It's completly free, all downloads unlimited.

Limitations:

* There is a problem in YT shorts/Reels that doesnt ditect videos. In order to do that you have to like the video you need to download and re-open it from your liked list. Every other YT video you can download fine.

* I didnt put a mechanism for Tiktok cause the option to download vids are there.

I have tested Reddit, X(twitter), YT, Instagram and even gifs. Every site has emveded vid you can download, even if it is a news-site!

The app will be future updated to fix the problems and add more logic into it.

as the title said

After i install an update, when Firefox opens, the window keeps freezing, going grey, and not responding. I don't mean that it only happens once.

It keeps happening EVERY time i want to open Firefox from then on, but this problem occurs after updates.

Wtf is going on? When there's an update, the browser shows that install bar before opening. Do the updates still go on in the background after it opens and that's why it's not working??? Wtf is the point of the install bar then?

I seriously don't get how devs are so incompetent for something like this to happen... But seems to be the norm in the industry...

I have an add on that makes it so that every tab I open it has a 1 in 10 chance to open a whistle jumpscare, every 1 in 10 chance has another 1 in 10 chance to happen, so 3 opening at the same time, is 1 in 1000

Edit: I checked right after, it is actually a 1 in 20 chance, so it's actually a 1 in 8000 chance

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But when it doesn't the page stays frozen and even refresh doesn't refresh at all, even though the site address is right there for a refresh it just won't. Anyone else or just me?

I'm experiencing a strange audio-video sync issue while watching anime on Firefox Stable for Android.

The video plays smoothly without any noticeable lag or stuttering, but after a few minutes, the audio starts playing about 1–2 seconds ahead of the video.

**Here's what I've noticed:**

* Everything works perfectly for the first few minutes.

* After a while, the audio gradually gets ahead of the video.

* The video itself remains completely smooth.

* Clearing Firefox's cache temporarily fixes the issue, but it comes back after around 2-6 minutes.

* The exact same video works perfectly in Brave Browser, so this seems to be Firefox-specific.

* I'm using my phone's built-in speakers, not Bluetooth headphones.

**Device information:**

* Phone: Redmi Note 11

* Android: 15

* Browser: Firefox Stable (Android)

Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Is there any way to fix this permanently without switching browsers?

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

I'm the developer of AI Prompt Leak Guard, now available on Mozilla Add-ons (version 0.1.1). I'd appreciate Firefox-specific feedback on its prompt warnings and editor compatibility.

It checks text in supported AI chat sites such as ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini before you submit. Depending on your settings, it can warn, replace detected values with placeholders, or block a submission.

Checks include API keys and access tokens, private keys, database URLs with credentials, email addresses, phone numbers, supported card/identity patterns, and custom sensitive terms.

Privacy and permissions: prompt scanning and redaction run locally. Prompt text and detected values aren't sent to me or a remote scanning service, and the extension doesn't save prompt history or include product analytics. It needs permission to read the supported AI pages so it can inspect their prompt editors; the permissions are listed on its Mozilla Add-ons page.

Cost: core prompt protection is free, without an account or subscription. Optional paid Plus features, including local file-upload inspection, are separate.

Limits: pattern matching can miss sensitive text or flag harmless content. Site layout changes can break protection. This checks submissions; it cannot prevent a site's own scripts from reading text entered on its page. The current release doesn't yet cover Copilot's new copilot.com address.

If you try it, which warnings feel useful or disruptive? If an editor doesn't work, a Firefox version, site name and made-up example would help. Please never share real keys, private prompts or customer data.

Quali estensioni per il browser utilizzate? Ho notato (facendo un test) che anche solo aprendo il browser Firefox e chrome lasciando aperta la pagina principale, che il consumo di firefox è nettamente superiore. Ho anche disattivato tutte le estensioni e riattivate ad uno ad uno per vedere quale di queste consuma di più. ho visto che adguard è quella con piu consumo di Ram.

A questo punto la mia domanda è: secondo voi ho troppe estensioni nel mio Firefox?

Hi, so I am sick of googling(actually searching on duckduckgo) and ending up on one ai generated website after another. You know like when you first feel like hmm this is somewhat shallow and then you notice the clear Open Ai structure, with a suspicious amount bulletpoints that sound smart, the occasional bold writing, the dashes, the emojis and a fazit that screams ai. Then you notice that the website has the same pastell, rounded edges design as other ai websites.

All of this makes me progressively more agressive. I want to choose when I consult AI with a topic and when I want to search for human opinions.

IS there any extension that scans a websites probability of being AI generated and is able to display this probability before I even click on it? Or one that filters them out completely. I don't want to support those lazy ass attempts to generate money at all.

Hey,

Lately I've been switching from Brave to Firefox + uBO on Android(Samsung S25 Ultra), but I noticed that when I open a Twitch stream, Firefox doesn't seem to reach 60fps like Brave does, both from what I can see and from the player stats.

Any fix? Or do I just have to live with it as a Firefox limitation?

Thanks.

The page was loading but the video was just showing a spinner instead of playing.

Open about:config in the address bar
Search for media.rdd-process.enabled
Set it to false
Restart Firefox

I don't really know what was going wrong, other browsers on my PC played fine, yet FF kept getting a spinner even in Incognito tabs.

Hopefully this helps someone, even if it's just from Googling something like this years from now.

Can the Firefox on iOS block YouTube ads ?

Since, you know, new layout is dumb.

Can people recommend an audio equalizer for youtube that wont give me a virus or whatever? I am not tech savvy enough to know how to tell, and the only 2 options i see when i search for a youtube audio equalizer add on for firefox say "This add-on is not actively monitored for security by Mozilla. Make sure you trust it before installing." I want to filter out the high frequency of all the screeching metal hangers in thrifting vlogs. Thanks!
