Does anyone use any other #OrgRoamUI implementation, it stopped working in #librewolf
@jwildeboer totally agree. I would add "and please don't choose substack for that blog post". Why? Because I can't save the article using the web browser's "Save Page As..." feature (#Librewolf).
Substack thwarts this saving, being jerks.
#LibreWolf v140.0.2-1 is now available!

We've updated the default browsing data sanitizing config to a newer version of the settings. This _should_ not affect the actual settings at all (and did not during our tests), but we advise you check your "clear/remember history" related settings after updating anyway, just in case.
See https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/140.0.2/releasenotes/ for upstream changes.
Speaking of Firefox, I noticed that recently it started doing that Internet Explorer thing where it replaces HTTP error pages with a Firefox error page instead of showing the one the website provides. Does anyone know if there's a setting in about:config to disable that? I'm using Librewolf 139.0.4-1

CANNOT BELIEVE I have not been doing this for the past thirty years.
#Librewolf (or, you know, #Firefox, I guess) lets you add "keywords" to bookmarks. Type the keyword, hit return, go to URI directly.

Odd/annoying problem logging on to @mstdn @stux using @librewolf #Librewolf (a #Firefox fork) - it won't accept my username and password. I can't remember if it ever worked, but definitely not this week.
I just tried disabling any relevant extensions and even ResistFingerPrinting in case they were interfering, but nothing helped.
It's fine in Chromium-based browsers - e.g. Edge and Vivaldi, where I had either logged off or had never logged on before.
If #LibreWolf would reintroduce the missing FTP support in its fork - I am all in :)
@realestninja @Skivling one might argue that it has to be done regularly for every app, not just browsers. I don't find it difficult to rule my own browser. I'd do it for librewolf too. I still didn't find it tight enough for my use (when I tried it). Maintenance is necessary for every browser. The fact that unwanted features can be turned off and controlled by myself is more important to me that being dependant on #librewolf developers. Conclusion: I'd still recommend #firefox
I have a dilemma with browsers: [solution found, see comments]
I really like Zen Browser but it has a ram issue on my computer which causes frequent crashes. I switched to LibreWolf and it's having the same issues. I'm on fedora.
Default Firefox does not have these issues, I'm thinking that's because it's a native rpm package and not a flatpak. There doesn't seem to be an rpm version of Zen or LibreWolf. I could switch to default firefox but it's got mozilla telemetry and extra features I don't want to see. I want a private browser, as of recently this probably isn't a great choice.
Is there any other version of firefox that isn't changed much? Or should I just use normal firefox?

Hab auf #Librewolf gewechselt... gewohnte Firefox-Erfahrung, aber Datenschutz-technisch schon optimiert.
ICYMI – Já ouviste falar do LibreWolf?
Há cerca de dois anos atrás partilhámos este artigo sobre o #LibreWolf, um navegador de código aberto focado em privacidade e liberdade #digital – sem rastreios, sem telemetria, só tu e a #web.
Se queres uma alternativa ao #Firefox mais limpa e respeitadora dos teus dados, vale mesmo a pena espreitar.

»Firefox experimentiert mit neuer Suchmaschine:
Mit der neuen KI-Funktion möchte Mozilla seinen Nutzerinnen und Nutzern ermöglichen, dialogorientierte Antworten auf Fragen zu erhalten.«
Nutzt dies wer von euch schon und wie ist es zum nutzen? Wird dies evt auch von @librewolf übernomen und sind KI Suchmaschinen wirklich besser als bisherige? Ich bin skeptisch hatte dies aber noch nie genutzt.

No major changes from LibreWolf's end.

Mastodon, I have a problem:
I'm using #Librewolf and I can't play any videos from any website. GIFs are ok, but videos… I press play and the image stays frozen.
Has this happened to anyone? Should I enable/disable anything in the browser settings?
Thanks!

As a bonus for keyboard-driven browser things, this duo can make tab selection and movement fully keyboardable too:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/select-tabs/
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/move-tab-hotkeys/
I've been using Tridactyl[1] for a long time now for keyboard-driven vi bindings in the browser and yesterday decided to check out the alternatives, thinking maybe they provided some interesting features too.
I looked them all up: Vimium, Vimium C, Vimmatic, SurfingKeys and the result is: I am in awe of how advanced Tridactyl is in comparison to all of them.
Native messaging*, comprehensive ex command mode for commands and settings with live-previewed completions; hint-based visual selection, copying and focus; support for local filesystem text-based configuration; binding sequential browser actions to custom commands; tab group commands; actually launching (neo)vim to edit text areas; ...to name a few!
* do bear in mind the security implications of native messaging, as noted by the developers themselves, but you can have most of the functionality without it
Pessoas que usam Firefox e pessoas que LibreWolf: conseguem acessar algum site da Via Varejo?
Casas Bahia, Ponto Frio, etc.
Não carrega no LibreWolf mas carrega no Chromium. No LibreWolf imediatamente aparece "oops, algo deu errado".
Mostra links para usar Firefox, Chrome ou Safari e caso não resolva, falar com eles no zap. Mas no Chromium carrega normalmente.
Mesmo problema na janela anônima do LibreWolf, sem complementos.
One of the things I ran into was #Librewolf (#firefox clone) not connecting to #keepassxc
I found a solution:
