- When will vertical tabs be released for the stable channel?
I used them when they were released a while ago for the nightly version of Firefox, and actually in the stable channel we are in Firefox 130 and still no vertical tabs, does anyone know an aproximate version when they will be available for the stable channel?

- [FIXED] Today's Firefox Nightly broke shortcuts
Anyone know how? A bug that caused the issue that I can follow along with? It also randomly reset the name and icon in Niagara Launcher.
- Can I have my cursor on at the end of the URL instead of selecting all of it, when I focus on the URL bar?
I know I can press right but I'm just wondering if it can be done by default.
- What happened to 'tags' in the bookmarks?
I am unsure if this happened with the new update or if I noticed it only now, but I cannot add any tags while bookmarking a page from the star icon in the address bar. The whole 'tags' field as shown in the image is completely absent now when bookmarking in that way.
The only way to add/edit tags seems to be through the bookmark manager.
Is this a new feature or I simply realized it now?
Edit: if it's not a new feature, does anyone by any chance remember which version of Firefox last had that tags field?

- PSA: Google Meet no longer works in hardened Firefox
EDIT
This issue may be due to WebRTC being disabled. WebRTC is required for google meet, but also used for fingerprinting.
Recently I tried to join a google meet meeting in my hardened config firefox browser, and google meet didn't let me in at all. I was confused as hell. I could join only on my phone, but not any of my three computers I tested it on. I then went into a virtual machine with regular firefox(also linux), and the meeting works. The only conclusion I can draw is that google is so desperate for my data that they refuse to service me unless I give them this.
This post intends to inform people that issues with google products may be related to their valid wish for security, and the actions they have taken in pursuit of that. The post also intends to inform people of a solution. The two apps that I recommend are:
- Jitsi Meet: This is self hosted, but you can also make a meeting with jitsi's own servers. A excellent alternative to google meet, the only reason I didn't use it is that I had issues the day I needed to meet, and had to fall back to google meet instead.
- Jami: This is a distributed-network chat and video calling app which is open source and a GNU package. It does require an app, but is free and open source and will serve your purpose.****_________

- Two finger touch to stop kinetic scroll now works on Linux in Firefox 133bugzilla.mozilla.org 1568722 - Kinetic scrolling on Linux ought to stop on two-finger touch (hold gestures)
RESOLVED (botond) in Core - Widget: Gtk. Last updated 2024-10-17.
I recently switched from a MBP to a Framework 16 as my primary laptop and one thing I immediately noticed was that I was unable to stop kinetic scrolls in Firefox by laying my fingers onto the touchpad. It'd just slide by unimpeded. You could work around this by counter-scrolling a little rather than holding still which is how I've been coping with it but it's suboptimal to say the least. (As are many things in the Linux touchpad experience. Linux desktop developers really ought to use a macbook for a little to get a sense for how to do this properly.)
This was caused by Firefox' use of GDK3 to implement its windowing and input needs which does not support hold gestures.
GDK4 does support them but, as I understand it, a port of Firefox to GDK4 would be a ton of work and there isn't really much desire for it as GDK4 doesn't offer many real advantages over GDK3 as Firefox doesn't use classical GTK widgets or anything and only really uses it for basic input/output primitives.
A backport to handle hold gestures in GDK3 too was attempted but, in classic GNOME fashion, it was rejected.
The implementation now somehow gets events from the touchpad directly via wayland somehow from what I could gather but if it works, it works.
You can try this out in the latest nightly builds.
- Firefox adds option to remove 'List All Tabs' button after user backlashwww.ghacks.net Firefox adds option to remove 'List All Tabs' button after user backlash - gHacks Tech News
Firefox now lets you remove the List All Tabs button. But is it useful? We take a closer look at the feature.
Firefox users criticized the permanent 'List All Tabs' button introduced in version 131.0, leading Mozilla to make it removable.
The button, designed to manage hidden tabs and prevent add-ons from hiding them, received backlash for being unnecessary alongside Firefox View.
Mozilla responded with a fix in version 131.0.3, allowing users to remove the button through toolbar customization.

- Bypass short links
I use Firefox on Android 11 and Windows 11. What's the best way to bypass short links and sites that make us await a certain period of time (say, 10 seconds) before proceeding? Is it Violentmonkey + Bypass all shortlinks (debloated)?
- What are specific examples of Google shaping web standards, especially ones that require browser support?
It's no secret that Google has a very large influence. They have influenced web pages into being highly optimized for high search engine rankings, and have pushed AMP: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2020/07/googles-amp-canonical-web-and-importance-web-standards-0. However I haven't found any concrete examples of Google pushing web standards that have been adopted and require browser support. I've read comments here and there like this one, that the Shadow DOM was created and pushed by Google, perhaps to make it harder to block ads, but didn't find any sources on that.

- Any ways to edit Firefox tabs and bookmarks like Vim / Oil.nvim?
Vim's modal editing system is very efficient for manipulating text with little keystrokes. Let's say I had a list of URLs like the ones below, representing tabs. I could have the list as a text file, navigate them with arrow keys to move a text cursor, press
enter
or another key to focus on the tab under the cursor,d
to cut a link (like cutting a file in a file explorer, or like howd
deletes or cuts text in Vim), andp
to put it in another position where the cursor is. I could select multiple lines to dod
orp
, or pressy
to yank (copy) them to my clipboard.startpage.com reddit.com/r/firefox lemmy.ml/c/firefox
Oil.nvim seems to be a good point of reference for this. Its a Neovim plugin that acts as a file explorer, where all the files are text listed in a vim buffer, and you can do
d
y
orp
. I did a bunch of searches to see if Vimium Tridactyl or Surfing Keys can do this and nothing showed up. If they can, then an explanation would be helpful. - Google looks to be fully shutting down unsupported extensions and ad blockers in Chrome – which might push some folks to switch to Firefoxwww.techradar.com Google looks to be fully shutting down unsupported extensions and ad blockers in Chrome – which might push some folks to switch to Firefox
Manifesting a future where Firefox is more successful?
- People should stop mentioning Firefox Google deal when they defend Firefox against their advertising investments.
If Google stopped supporting Firefox today, Bing would still pay to be the default engine. If bing does not pay, Yandex would do.
My point here is Firefox still has 2.71% market share, a lot of search engines operators would pay Firefox good money to be their default engine.
The default search revenue stream is guaranteed as long as they have good amount of users.
But they actively choose to ruin it.
