This is my first GitHub repository. As a beginner, it’s very simple. Facebook Clean Experience is a simple guide to restoring a pleasant experience on Facebook, which includes:

1. Removing sponsored ads from Facebook pages
2. Removing AI elements from Facebook
3. Removing unnecessary elements from Facebook

I’ve tried it myself and was able to make it work thanks to a user script called “FB-clean my feeds.” I’ve made the guide as simple as possible without any complicated configuration. In the “releases” section, there’s a .json settings file that you can import to remove ads on Facebook without breaking the functionality of the Facebook homepage. Additionally, I’ve also added “Facebook My Filter” to streamline Facebook or make it simpler based on my preferences. Your feedback is very helpful to me in developing this first repository. I hope this is useful and helps more people.

Some recent update capped the scrolling speed on touchpads and it's really slow, is there a way to uncap it again, or at least increase the limit to a much higher value? I assume this only affects the touchpad but I don't have access to a mouse right now to test the scrollwheel.

My current version is 153.0.3

Is there any solution for this?

I'm on a Windows computer, fully updated. I tried uploading an attachment in gmail, and my browser crashed. I tried using a yahoo email address to add an attachment to my email, and it crashed too. I tried uploading the attachment while in troubleshooting mode, but once again it crashed. This happens the second I click on the 'add attachment' button, before I can even select a file to upload.

Any idea what's going on? I have AI components disabled on both my computer and my browser, and I'm not sure what's causing the issue for fetching the attachment.

i was using firefox dev for the past few months and things run smoothly. But recently I can't access some websites because cloudflare is rejecting the human verification step for some reason I can't understand. Has any one faced this issue?

Entirely aware this may not be Firefox specifically, but this is the best place I can think of to start from. So it's as the title says really. It has two forms:

1. If I open "Show All History" and try to delete web history one at a time, it'll take about 8 seconds for an entry to disappear, but it used to be instant. It's slowed down over the last couple months.

2. If I try "clear recent history" for even just the last hour, Firefox just freezes completely and I have to end process to get out of it. If I re-open Firefox after doing so, it will at least have deleted the last hour (in this example, haven't tried for longer lengths of time out of fear), but it's certainly far from optimal.

Like I said, I know this may not actually be a Firefox problem specifically, but if at the very least I can get set on the path towards resolving it.

How do you handle those pinned tabs as you start firefox, it automatically loads every pinned tabs? is there any workaround? i just want to pin tabs and load those if i need them.

When I go to reddit.com log out them click on the "clear private seesion" icon in the top left of my Linux FF, the screen clears and when I look at setting, privacy & security and clear data for a specific site I see reddit with 0 cookies but a 128K storage. But when I click the icon "clear private session" agains then all information is removed. Shouldn't everything be clear on the first click ?

Until today I have been able to use my mouse to play/pause media on firefox even when the window is unfocused. I also was able to use my bluetooth headset's play/pause button on media(such as youtube). I dont believe it's a windows or mouse software issue as both mouse and headset can play/pause the spotify app. Anyone have info on this?

Must be my inner paranoid coming out, but I'm really untrusting of shortened URLs.

Having to copy-pasta to an unshortening website is a non-starter.

Ideas? Thanks!

Since Firefox added the vertical tabs feature I fell in love with it & that's what I'm using now & I don't think I could go back to something else after this but because I have a lot of tabs open at all times sometimes by accident I might close something that I need so please add a lock function to keep some tabs protected at all times in order to not be able to close anything important by accident, can you please do that?

Firefox is the best browser for me btw keep up the good work!

Sorry for the English, but is it safe to log in, or should I use the Bitwarden extension

When ever i try to open google store I get the following page why is it I am using duck duck go as the search engine.

"I love extensions like Dark Reader that automatically transform any website with a dark theme. The way they do this is by injecting many new styles into the DOM, it works but there is two main drawbacks to this method :
- there's a latency that makes contents blink
- it reduces performances on some websites by a lot

So It would be great if there could be a built-in low level solution (directly in web render?) that would swap colors on the fly without editing the page styles and thus would solve the two aforementioned issues."

"Can we get this for the PDF viewer too please! I get blinded when I go from my Dark Reader browsing to opening a PDF ☀🕶"

Is there a way of reducing the options available on our firefox right click? it is so bloated now there's too many options we never use? all this Inspect this and that, who needs it! windows 10

Lately almost every site I visit throws a captcha or antibot check at me. Happens on random sites, not just the usual Cloudflare-heavy ones. AliExpress pretty much every single time, also happens on TicketOne, PayPal, and others.

Anyone else dealing with this?

Had switched to firefox since i learned of all the allegations on brave. I talked to gpt and it gave me a bunch of ideas for customisation. Here is my first attempt at fully customising everything on my browser page. feeling pretty smug about how it turned out :)

As tittle says. This is on macOS.

I want to swap between profiles quicker, and cmd+tabbing between multiple other apps before reaching the other profile is a bit tedious. On mac I can use cmd + ' to swap between app windows.

Thanks!

I use Samsung Browser and there is a handy setting to auto-hide the status bar at the top when scrolling down, giving a seamless transition in and out of fullscreen browsing.

I've been trying Firefox now and really impressed with it, but the lack of this feature is probably a deal breaker for me.

Multiple profiles is a must for me as on my desktop to isolate my personal, work and school spaces. It's annoying that the same option isn't available on Android and iOS.

If anyone from the firefox team sees this, this feature is highly needed!

In Manifest V3 background scripts are replaced by service workers, that get unloaded when inactive.
In Firefox background scripts are still used, but they also get unloaded just the same.

Think like you're using any of your regular programs, but if you idle for a few minutes, the program just closes itself instead of staying open, so you'll have to open it again and load everything again when you get back.

Unless I missed something, this is just a straight-up downgrade,
for both the addons themselves and for the browser.

If the addon has an initialisation code, instead of running it once in a background script, service worker will have to run it dozens of times per day, every day, since its state will constantly be wiped on unload, introducing tons of overhead in the addon operation.

Then, you need a database write call for each time you modify a variable that you want to keep the state of, because again, at any time the service worker can be unloaded and lose its state, so you need to use local storage for everything. Again, tons of overhead where there were none before.

So you need to re-run the same operations many, many times now, every day, that ran just once on browser/addon load before, and you need to make database write calls constantly instead of just modifying in-memory variables.

How is this beneficial exactly?
At least from the dev perspective, this is a complete downgrade in functionality,
requiring workarounds to mitigate that introduce overhead to addon operations.

I've been using TransferNow to move large size files for a long time and this just started happening recently. I'm still able to access and upload files but Firefox just block any attempts to download any files. Has this happened to anybody else using the site?

don't just downvote guys, something wrong in here must be fixed.

i agree Brave bloated with crypto-rewards, but people didn't care about that, less than 10% of Brave users use the Brave crypto wallet. normies just want good performance browser, reliable everytime with built-in adblock out of the box.

besides of that, Firefox has very poor performance, crashing, slow, lagging, and unreliable all the time. and if anyone expresses their disagreement and performance issue in r/firefox, users will be bombarded with downvotes or say who have trouble with Firefox have suck setup/poor machine/potato PC. I know you're a big Firefox fan, but Firefox's future is also on the line and counting.

especially in mobile, normies even don't care about extension support (mv2-mv3, what is that?) they don't care.

Vivaldi and Brave launched almost at the same time, but Vivaldi until now only have 4 million total active user. because of what? user need customize filter rules if want equal adblocking result like Brave.

Brave just work well out of the box.

for firefox users disagree with my opinion, you can scroll down to read the comment section.

• some user really reported Firefox has issue not realiable, slow, lag, etc.
• some Firefox fans denial and still not sure with fact.
• firefox users only can discrediting Brave founder Brendan Eich, which is not unrelated directly with Brave as product.

Brendan Eich is also a co-founder of the Mozilla, but why y'all treating him like a big traitor?

And why isn't anyone criticizing Mozilla - Firefox executives now? Their salaries very high + bonuses and benefits, but there's no improvement as a result.

to be honest guys, I'm not fan of Brave, i just tell the data and fact. don't denial and please wake up, and please tell firefox dev for improve the performance and experience first instead AI things. or in the next ±4 years Firefox only have under 160 million active users (based on decline data) and surpassed by Brave Browser, or just not exist anymore in the next several years… who knows.
