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.

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.

How can I add a userChrome.js to firefox?

It doesn't work here so I must be doing something wrong :(

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.

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.

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.

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.

>>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.)
