Firefox

It happens with all sticky footers on any site. I have the address bar on the top, but moving it to the bottom actually pushes the footer up higher. Could this be a bug caused by the fact that I have two screens (Moto Razr+)?

Hi there,

I wanted to migrate from the default Ubuntu Firefox snap installation to a deb-package-based one using the instructions on the official help site.

I do not just import keys without examining them first, so I had a look at the key from packages.mozilla.org:

pub  rsa2048/C0BA5CE6DC6315A3
     created: 2021-05-04  expires: never       usage: SC  
     trust: unknown       validity: unknown
 [ unknown] (1). Artifact Registry Repository Signer <artifact-registry-repository-signer@google.com>

Now, what I don't understand is the identity containing a reference to Google instead Mozilla: "Artifact Registry Repository Signer artifact-registry-repository-signer@google.com"

Could somebody help me understand that?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Post text: guerda - Because I found out via try & error: some pages don't find their #passkeys  with #Firefox on #Android, which they just created. This happens if you have a password service as default like #Keepass2Android. Creation works though. Chrome just works.

Easy solution: setup Google wallet as your default password service, then switch to Keepass2Android again and add Wallet as additional service.

Do this via settings password, default password service

This should be a blog post.

#passkey #KeePass

When I use a calculator website such as desmos, geobra, or symbolab, the numbers will randomly stop inputting when I press them on the keyboard. Has anyone else had this experience?

I'm using Fedora Linux.

since last update, my image of shortcut, in new tab page, are super tiny.

I though it was to allow to add more row or something, but no. Just tiny images.

Can I change the size of the image without css? Or should I wear glass

FINAL EDIT: Finally following the instruction on my bug report, I created a new profile with about: profiles, then Make my normal profile "default" again.. and setting variantA and B to false stick. No longer tiny shortcut.

EDIT 5: seems this monstuosity will be corrected soon : https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/defalut-tab-shortcut-feedback/m-p/86145/highlight/true#M32956

EDIT 4: reported the bug :https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1947401

EDIT: ~~> browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.newtabLayouts.variant a and b to false.~~ Unfortunatly the variant get back to true randomly after some time

EDIT2: you need to opt out of some study it seems : https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/firefox-134-new-tab/m-p/83021/highlight/true

EDIT3: the opt out of Firefox:study about the new UI doesnt help: the variant still revert to "true" after some time, not even after relaunching the browser, just after some time on its own.. which is pretty scary

I use ctrl + alt + x to translate pages, this chatbot uses the same shortcut so translate addon can't

Hi,

I find bookmarks tedious to use and largely a huge waste of time. I have 10s of thousands of bookmarks and I never ever open any of them except the 10 or so on my bookmarks toolbar

Will bookmark ever improve, they seem to be solidly stuck in their functionality from 1996 and stagnant. Probably because nobody uses them there is no point in improving something no one uses.

So anyway, I thought bookmarks could be potentially useful if you could search text inside them. Except of course being 1996's finest technology, they never considered possible to save the text of a website as metadata of the bookmarks and they are built on this really naive idea that the bookmark will still work in the future, how pure in innocent of them.

So anyway, I'd like to just ask my locally running offline copy of deepseek 621B to search inside my bookmarks for a specific text and look at all images, video and audio transcript for a certain topic. I know this is a lot to ask of the outdated and obsolete bookmark technology so I'm curious if maybe there's someone that thought of improving that functionality or if I'm the first one to ever realize that ?

I found it on my DNS logs. Not sure what it does.

Open up about:config and go to layout.css.prefers-color-scheme.content-override and set it to one of the following:

0 => Force a Dark background

1 => Force a Light background

2 => Follow the System theme (default in Firefox 94)

3 => Follow the Browser toolbar theme (default in Firefox 95+)

Today I saw the AI chatbot in the sidebar for the first time (I remember turning the setting of in the Labs settings, but they turned it on IG). Looking the options, it supports a number of models, but all of them seems to be on a remote servers. Is there any way to use an LLM run on my own machine?

I'm in the middle of learning a new language and trying to expose myself to the language. And this add-on (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/youtube-dual-subtitles/), I found this very helpful. But because it had access to YouTube, it will automatically download the subtitle (or the auto-generated one) and translate it. What worries me is where and how it got translated and what it's doing with my activity. Also, sometimes it just doesn't work at all.

So are there any add-ons similar to this? That you can customize it how it translates stuff, e.g. via local LLM or via translation service of your choosing. Other suggestions to achieve the same goal are welcomed!

~~I hope Firefox has more capabilities like Auto Translate Live Caption~~

Almost all the links in my front homepage are sponsored now. What's next, a few ads in the bookmark bar? How about when I enter a URL, I then have to type "McDonald's" before I can actually navigate there?

For reasons I have been unable to decipher, FirefoxCP Web Content is munching all the memory on my machine that it possibly can. I have gone through every about:config setting I am aware of or was able to find information about. Tabs should be unloading, memory settings should be deliberately restrictive, etc. However, my laptop is absolutely crushed by my browser.

I'm running the latest version of Firefox. I have UBlock Origin running but that shouldn't be this much of a lift. This is a 2020 MacBook Pro with an M1 chip and 16GB of RAM (I have no control over this. It's a work laptop. No, I can't just ask for a different laptop. Yes, I have tried.)

If anyone knows of tips or tricks I can use to hopefully restrict Firefox's memory usage ceiling, I'd be greatly obliged.
