werks for me. seems like a you problem

>>106124420
the animation on the drop down menus is broken if you dont use a compositor. just that alone is enough to wish death upon them.

>>106124398 (OP)
Don't worry, by next year Mozilla will close down as they do not get any more money from Google's default search engine contract.

>>106124470
What do you mean broken? I haven't noticed anything.

>>106124420

The history feature records a select, randomly curated list of sites you've visited, not a timestamped list of every webpage you've been to.

>>106124420

It worked perfectly already in the past, yet they continue to push updates to justify their jobs.

>>106124398 (OP)
>Still better than (Braves) launch..
The door is behind you.

I already dont use Chrome or edge since 2008.

>>106124517
Interesting. I never noticed that, but it wouldn't surprise me, given how janky certain aspects of Firefox are.

>>106124530
Firefox is lagging behind Chrome on some features, though. I know it's frustrating when they push an update and it wrecks everything, but no browser can afford to fall too far behind.

>>106124398 (OP)
works for me

>>106124398 (OP)
Firefox is the only good browser besides Safari and maybe Ladybird. I use Librewolf btw.

Fuck Alphabet, fuck Google, fuck Chrome, fuck Edge, fuck Brave, fuck Indians, fuck the merchants.

>>106124837

good? it used to be great, all they had to do was update it to integrate newer technologies and leave everything else alone and it would be perfect

Switched to Librewolf some time ago. Not regretting about it

>>106124398 (OP)
Works on my machine and I dont want to hear your nine thousandth unhinged rant about how trannies are taking over the world.

How can I add a userChrome.js to firefox?
From what I understand you're supposed to go C:\Users\[your user name]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles then create a chrome folder and add userchrome.js inside, right?
It doesn't work here so I must be doing something wrong :(

>>106124517
>randomly curated
srsly?

>>106125511
you gotta go into about:config and enable toolkit.legacyUserProfileCustomizations.stylesheets because google pays the firefox devs millions to make it shittier

>>106125593
Thanks. It's already enabled so I must doing something retarded elsewhere.

Can you please substantiate your claims? I've been using Firefox for over 18 years and I've never noticed that.

>>106124504
you either use a compositor or maybe its tired to disabling hardware acceleration.

so when are they dropping manifest v2 support? they're on google's payroll with the search engine shit so they'll have to, eventually.

>>106125674
if you are talking about userchrome.js it was quite a lot harder to enable than that, I don't use firefox anymore so I can't really tell you the steps anymore.

If instead you are talking about userChrome.css (Notice the CSS and not js) then it's like the other anon told you.

>>106125674
are you just putting your chrome folder in "Profiles" instead of your actual profile folder with all the .ini and .json and .sqlite bullshit

>>106125762
oh shit that's what I thought he meant. yeah I don't have a userchrome.js

>using trannyfox in 2025

>>106125762
>>106125779
Nevermind, I figured it out. Turns out I had to put some kind of loader in my firefox directory to enable all that stuff. I'm not a /g/ person.

>>106125720
you don't have to be a woman to have period, that would be ableist.

I updated firefox and now the font on 4chan strike me as being sligthly too wide. It's incovenient to read.
Was I browsing at 90% for a decade, or did the devs fuck up with something again?

>>106127585
I haven't noticed anything different and I'm an updooter.

my eyes are shitty, but at least this makes me feel better

the horizontal scroll to go forward / backward in history is not that great because sometimes you actually do need to scroll horizontally and it's a gamble if the element is in focus or not

Who thought it was a good idea? Don't it already have too many menus with random icons?

Honestly, firefox died in 2014. Now it's just a bunch of faggots playing with his dead body while they can milk the fortune Google pays them.

>>106124398 (OP)
New firefox user but i noticed a few days ago that they started pushing "sponsored websites" on my homepage... I turned it off not a big complaint but i thought firefox was slightly more about their users choices and them having control over their stuff than chrome..... What a weird approach

>>106124420
i mean it's effectively being enshittified by trannies and all the donation money is being embezzled by said trannies so instead of refining the browser engine they throw kludges to keep it running somewhat behind chromium just enough to function on the modern web and spend the rest on DEI and making the UX worse with every passing update. the only good decision they made was keeping manifest V2 alive but that's all and it's sadly not enough. also they're a google plant so therefore controlled opposition.

Firefox doesn't work correctly on my phone.
Frozen tabs, pages won't load, can't refresh, complained on Play Store for years, same shit, no fixes.
Switched to Brave and everything just works.

They just fucked up the bookmark functions. Carefull not to edit it or you might lose it permanently if you dont remember the random string of characters for links.

>>106134801
I recently installed it on a new computer and was almost lost navigating the menus. It is a double-edged sword though, sometime stuff breaks out of nowhere, and I'll have no idea if it's my fault or Mozilla's or the website's fault (usually it's the last one if it's Google owned).

>>106124398 (OP)
I want to complain about something as well. When will Mozilla finally roll out the new profiles already? Right now it's half implemented and if you try to enable it, it just fucks up your existing profiles. And the current (old) profile manager is janky dogshit from 1995. Yes, it works, but it's a hassle to use and there's no excuse for it. Chrome has had a proper profile manager for many years. Is the way Firefox is built so bad that they are struggling to implement it? It's clear that they want to copy Chrome, but they've been working on it for what feels like years with no success.

Ublock origin is over rated. The only site that matters ad wise is YouTube and premium is more convenient than having to constantly update filters. Edge has more features than Firefox and doesn't have website compatibility issues so I have already forgotten about Furryfox after giving up using it.

Netscape 4.x didn't support all the cool CSS on Geocities sites, plus Netscape 6 was full of spyware. Netscape deserved to die. Firefox was five years too late after IE5 was released and was the browser of choice for the dotcom boom.

Firefox has dropped below 150 million active users on data.firefox.com. This is the lowest since records began in 2019. The people are abandoning Firefox en-masse. The amount of users joining for ublock (Which be honest is only for Youtube Piracy) doesn't replace the users leaving for unfixed bugs and privacy policy enshittification.

I don't expect Firefox to last much longer. Once they drop Windows 7 support that will be another 10% of their users gone as they buy new computers. Don't forget that even if you use Firefox you still have chromium webviews in Android and Windows running and Webkit webviews in iOS and Mac. Only Desktop GNU/Linux (which is propped up by Gaben's fat ass doing all the work on Proton) is still a pure Firefox environment, and many distros have already dumped Firefox for spyware violations.

>>106137943
Are we sure this isn't due to more users opting to disable telemetry? It's a common point brought up when discussing user numbers.

Was it 1% of Mozilla funds that actually went to the development of the browser? Which btw is years behind Chromium when it comes to site isolation and sandboxing, has less safe memory allocation, and weaker JIT hardening.

If you're donating to Mozilla then you're a shmuck. Not a dime of your donation goes to anything related to the actual browser. Admit it, the fox is dead.

And not these 200+ tabs you have open? I'm a proud Google Chrome shitter, but at least I never run into issues like this.

No. It only memory leaks with YouTube. I could close all the tabs, open one YouTube video, and it will still do this. Alternatively, I could leave 200 non-youtube tabs open for weeks and have no leaks

>>106150209
They are radio buttons. Someone just thought checkboxes looked nicer and chose it as the visual element.

>>106127585
Firefox v134 -> v 135 changed how certain font families are rendered.
v134 had a built-in blacklist that prevented DirectWrite + Cleartype font rendering from being used with certain fonts that were never designed for it and forcing them to be rendered with legacy GDI + Cleartype rendering.

v135 removed that list because of overall improvements to the new font-rendering stack making it 'acceptable enough' and Mozilla wanting to cut down on costs of maintaining GDI rendering, by eventually axing it.

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1924346#c2

You can probably still temporarily reinstate the old rendering, but eventually it will be removed entirely.
Your best bet is fine-tuning the DirectWrite/ClearType rendering to not suck.

gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.cleartype_level 100
gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.enhanced_contrast 50
gfx.font_rendering.cleartype_params.rendering_mode 5
gfx.font_rendering.directwrite.use_gdi_table_loading false

That should be it to get it to work reasonably for those legacy fonts, without noticeably impacting modern fonts, iirc.


(And yes - FUCK Mozilla for the horrible transition on this and basically bomb-dropping it on users.)

>>106124398 (OP)
You must be a new user or something, it's been like this at Mozilla since they introduced Australis, at least
