Thread 105989496

Main changes:
-Now Firefox can help you keep your tabs organized, automatically. A local AI model identifies similar tabs, automatically organizes them into groups, and even suggests group names. Everything happens on your device to respect your privacy. (progressive roll out).

-Vertical tabs users can now adjust the size of the tools areas at the bottom of the sidebar. To see fewer tools and more tabs, drag down the divider line which pushes extra tools into an overflow menu.

-On Linux, Firefox uses less memory and no longer requires a forced restart after an update has been applied by a package manager.

-Address autofill has been enabled for users in Brazil, Spain and Japan.

-The Firefox address bar can now be used as a unit converter. The unit converter supports converting units of length, temperature, mass, force, and angular measurement, as well as timezones (e.g. “now in GMT” , “10am EDT to CET”). Selecting the result will copy it to your clipboard.

-Firefox builds in Valencian now come with a built-in Catalan (Valencian variant) dictionary for the Firefox spellchecker.

-Enabled the WebGPU API on Windows. This will greatly improve the hardware decoding for videos and graphical 3D applications.

how efficient is this performance-wise?

First real word and useful application of AI?

I swear to fucking God if my only other choice wasn't chrome forks I would have dropped this shit like a hot potato years ago.

No, that will be using something like nvidias ai texture compression bullshit to keep your tabs from using 80% of available ram.

>>105990009
It can't be that bad. Small enough models can run on Windows 98.

Surely you jest. They will make it as annoying as possible. It will gobble up as much meta data as it can by default. The data will be sold for shekels to the highest bidder. None of the profits will go towards paying developers.

Just use IceCat or Firefox-ESR, no need to updoot to Firefox 1488 yet

i can't find the local ai model, guys

>>105989496 (OP)
>identifies similar tabs, automatically organizes them into groups
Literally the opposite of a real organization where "similar" tabs (search pages) are roots of vastly different trees (search results)

>>105989496 (OP)
>-On Linux, Firefox (...) no longer requires a forced restart after an update has been applied by a package manager.
Awesome. That always was annoying.

Oh, that's actually pretty neat.

Don't care for the other stuff.

Fuck off. Does Brave have a menu bar like Firefox or does it force a zoomer UI on you?

fuck ai shit

>>105990062
+1 for all that
>>105990840
I was doing that years ago, and then websites broke more and more and I had to catch up with the latest Firefox version and revert/configure at once a lot more stuff from the versions I had skipped (and it was more annoying to find which Firefox version introduced which regression, I mean much needed improvement), so it's not the best path in my opinion

I don't even know what webgpu is

>>105991905
My setting is already set to false, do I set it to true to disable it?

WHERE IS THE JPEGXL NIGGERS STOP WITH THE AI BULLSHIT

>>105994703
>browser.tabs.groups.enabled false
Disables grouping entirely.

>>105994724
So leaving it at false already disables grouping entirely, is that it?
I'm sorry, I'm dumb, stupid and bad with technology. I just want a simple browser that's not a botnet...

I use Zen browser

>and no longer requires a forced restart after an update has been applied by a package manager
How does this work?

>>105994754
yes dummy if it's false it's disabled

>>105994884
Nice. Thanks.

lol @ the luddites in this thread. local AI stuff is fine (though it should always be optional for performance/battery reasons). It's not like its sending your tabs out to gemini or anything

>>105994896
also if you want maximum privacy its either librefox or mullvad

>>105994864
same, its the best shit right now

Firefox is such a horrible browser but it's the only thing that supports adblock now
I hate it here

Why can't they put a tab bar on ff android?
And why can I only select tranny backgrounds?
mobile browsers are so tiresome

>>105994873
Why did it require a restart in the first place? You can update everything else and keep using your PC without having to restart. Sure, the update won't yet be applied. But nothing stops working. Only Firefox did.

>>105989496 (OP)

Anyone got a custom css for adding icons back into menus that works with current firefox?
I only want the icons, nothing else, no total UI revamp.

I remember when things such as this could be done without AI

FireFUCKS RAPED & GAPED finally and eternally.

>>105996403
csshacks "iconized" series works.

Anyone know why yt-dlp cookie fetch doesn't work anymore? I've tried older versions of yt-dlp which didn't work either so it has to be some Fireshit fuckery again.
Always get the "errno 13 firefox cookies.sqlite" error. Extracting the cookies as .txt does work.

>>105996430
I'm pretty sure they're just calling everything AI nowadays.

>>105995228
I'm at Google Chrome and it supports AdblockPlus and Noscript without issues. On the phone, I use Chrome as well as I like having my data all in one place. For YouTube I used the Revanced version with no ads and no problems.

try setting the following flags to false in about:config
browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.newtabLayouts.variant-a
browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.newtabLayouts.variant-b
browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.newtabShortcuts.refresh

>>105990239
Which sites do this?

>>105999564
as long as you remember the west is gay and cancer, good

also if you use new tab page, set cursor focus to website in options
I cannot help you with the logo, but you can remove it with very complex CSS rules

>>105999585
>very complex CSS rules
Not on my PC atm, but it'd be pretty simple. Just use "inspect element" to grab the ID of the logo and then display:none it. I've done so with the image attribution of the wallpaper background in the new tab page.

Time to get out of the pond, duck.

>>105999577
Doesn't work, very strange. I think these were the flags that fixed this before, so I'll write them down if they happen to work in the future.

>>105999585
Just created a userContent.css and added

```
.logo {
display: none !important;
}

@-moz-document url("about:newtab"), url("about:home") {
.logo, .logo-and-wordmark, .logowordmark,
[data-section-id="topstories"] .logowordmark {
display: none !important;
}
}
```

>>105994873
On Linux it enables forkserver by default now, before after updating it usually updated one of the binaries needed to open new cards and windows and it was forcing you to restart if you wanted to do that. Now it keeps using all versions of binaries and code by forking current process.

>>105989977
3 more years at least.

>>105994864
Same. I keep firefox as my second.

>>105998012
Does that mean they finally fixed the issue where Firefox would keep eating as much VRAM as it could without ever freeing it?

does ladybird or servo work yet

Why are the fucking screenshots getting saved on the default downloads folder instead of the designated folder I chose in the settings?
How do they even manage to fuck this up and how do I fix it?
