Looking into [@librewolf](https://lemmy.ml/c/librewolf) and using the portable version on Windows but noticed it does not have [#uBlock](https://mstdn.social/tags/uBlock) plugin like the full installer does. I also cant reach the addons website for [#firefox](https://mstdn.social/tags/firefox) to install it either. Is this intentional for the portable version? [#librewolf](https://mstdn.social/tags/librewolf)

Here's one for the [#timberwolffoundation](https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/timberwolffoundation) and hey [@librewolf](https://lemmy.ml/c/librewolf) How about this for a new @logo ??

Hey there, do you know how to get touch screen gestures like two-finger-scrolling working on Linux? Its working fine on Firefox but probably disabled in Wolf due to potential privacy (sensor-detecting) issues? Could it be (re)activated with some config tweaks? Fedora 38, Kernel 6.3.3 tried both X11 and Wayland Lenovo Yoga 9 14IRP8 Appreciate any help! Best wishes Pekingente

YouTuber suggests Mullvad Browser. I go to check it out, and it can't build. Well, guess I'm sticking with [@librewolf](https://lemmy.ml/c/librewolf)

If you want to use a web browser on reasonable secure way, you could use firejail: [https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Firejail](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Firejail) It's not as powerful as [@qubesos](https://botsin.space/@qubesos) but it's well enough: Eg.I run [@librewolf](https://lemmy.ml/c/librewolf) with firejail using firefox profile: firejail --x11=xephyr --xephyr-screen=1024x900 --net=wlan0 --seccomp --caps.drop=all --nonewprivs --noroot --profile=/etc/firejail/firefox.profile openbox --startup "librewolf"

I see this a few seconds after I try to open a link. It started happening all of a sudden a couple of days ago. I tried setting `GDK_BACKEND=wayland` through Flatseal but that didn't help. I'm using version 112.0-1 from Flatpak on GNOME Wayland. Any help is appreciated. TIA.

When I click on a link (in an email) I get this pop-up error message ***Close Firefox. Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To use Firefox, you must first close the exiting Firefox process, restrt your device, or use a different Profile.*** I do have Librewolf (in Settings) as my Default browser and have removed Firefox from my software lists. It would seem that the links are thinking that Librewolf IS Firefox? When I click on Librewolf Support (in its settings) I end up at a page on Mozilla for Firefox. Any thoughts/suggestions? [I am currently using Zorin OS] Does Librewolf have/want 'bug reports'?

[@librewolf](https://lemmy.ml/c/librewolf) - Feature Request: I'm not quite knowledgeable enough to know the best solution within LibreWolf, but opening the URL network manager opens to trigger public wifi log in pages doesn't work. Somewhere between that URL and the prompt from the free wifi to agree not to look at porn or whatever, it just breaks. I'm sure it has to do with the fact LibreWolf insists (and rightly so) on HTTPS.

FYI: Yeah, Librewolf is safe, unless the user disables resit fingerprint, which is enabled by default

It seems interesting that "Clear URLs" might clean URLs of tracking pieces on the URLs. Is that something covered by other extensions, particularly by uBlock Origin? For LibreWolf + uBlockOrigin users might seem unnecessary, but when sharing URLs with others, who one is not aware what browsers they use, then perhaps it's useful. What do you think?

To update Librewolf on a mac I am using homebrew (because it seems like the obvious choice for an application with no build in update mechanism). This however means that every time I complete an update macOS gatekeeper interrupts my workflow an asks me to go to the settings to reapprove Librewolf again. I am curious if there are any good workarounds for that. BTW I have tried installing using the `--no-quarantine` flag provided by homebrew but this flag does not change behavior when using `brew upgrade`.

hello! as you might have noticed I haven't been able to post the changelog lately, so I figured I'd write a news thread: * as usual we released a new LW version for each FF stable. * I just added a bunch of documentation entries, most notably: * accessibility and why you might want to disable it, even though we don't by default. * how to use KeePassXC when you install both it and LibreWolf as Flatpak. * how to install uBO if you're in a country where the addons store is blocked. * [full list](https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/website/-/commit/3a4594f0048f0bd8d533903e46600720a527793c). * WebRTC should work a bit better now, you should experience less breakage. * we maintained our usual set of patches across each release. * [this epic](https://gitlab.com/groups/librewolf-community/-/epics/4) contains a bunch of solved issue we have been ironing out during the past few release cycles. * in the next release we finally expect to fix the weird new tab issue on linux and the unresponsive window issue on macos; this was possible thanks to a contributor from the community who found a typo in one of our patches :-) * there's a [known issue](https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/browser/windows/-/issues/310) with Firefox Sync logins. if you have any question just ask 🐟

is it useful to install trocker addon with Librewolf, or protection offered by that addon is already included? Trocker is an email tracker blocker https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/trockerapp/

hello folks, v107.0 is rolling out on all platforms, if it already hasn't :-) main changes: - rebased to latests firefox; - updated patches. very minimal but enjoy!

Hey all, I'm using librewolf as my daily browser on my laptop and bromite on my phone. The only way I can sync bookmarks is using xBrowserSync. works gret btw. However, this piece of software is not updated for 2 years now. Is it still the best choice? Thanks in advance.

I'm wondering if what [Skip Redirect](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/skip-redirect) provides, is something Librewolf, thorugh some settings already provide, or if not, if uBlockOrigin does and how. And if not having such settings on Librewolf, or uBlockOrigin, does it make sense the add-on? I installed it as recommended by [arkenfox](https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/wiki/4.1-Extensions). I know Librewolf doesn't exactly follow arkenfox, but it's any ways a reference, :) It's not one of the [Librewolf](https://librewolf.net/docs/addons) recommendations though... Thanks !

Hello, how to enable swipe gestures in LibreWolf?

from that issue: > I'll be stopping providing new LibreWolf builds, and it's possible I'll abandon the port altogether in the near future. So, unless I'll find someone who will take care of the port, it would be better to remove the instructions. more details inside, and many thanks to the person who provided the port during these months!

hello! v106.0.1 is rolling out on all platforms. some might have already got a v106.0 update, others will be upgraded directly to the newer version as the releases were condensed into one, since they occurred within 48 hrs from each other upstream. main changes: - rebased to latests firefox; - updated settings: there have been many minor changes in the past few releses, I suggest looking at the [changelog](https://gitlab.com/librewolf-community/settings/-/blob/master/docs/Changelog.md) of the past few versions; - hide firefox view for now, we will eventually patch it and re-introduce it in a revisited form later on! enjoy and be safe :-)

FYI: if you prefer to use a different instance, [mickie](https://jeremmy.ml/u/mickie) created a librewolf community of at https://jeremmy.ml. I will try my best to keep an eye on stuff posted over there too :-)

I recently wanted to try out Reader View but for some reason the icon in the url bar was nowhere to be seen. After taking a look at `about:config` it seems the feature is permanently disabled. Is there a reason for this? The preference is called `reader.parse-on-load.enabled`. 

a bit late to the party, but v104 has been released in the past few days, depending on your platform. the changelog is very small this time, I blame august: - all changes from firefox v104; - updated some patches that broke; - updated settings to v6.9, which is mostly a cleanup. look I said it wasn't that much..but enjoy it :-)

I forgot the changelog for v102 but here's the one for v103 instead. * all upstream fixes from FF103 * updated, fixed and deprecated patches. * in particular you might have noticed an issue with uBO disappearing, it's now fixed. * add release for OpenSuse Tumbleweed. * updated build documentation. * updated base macOS SDK to 11+. * updated settings to v6.7. * as the upstream cookie pref migration is finished you should no longer experience lost cookies. * IPv6 is no longer disabled by default. * updated some description in the UI. * fix printing in flatpak. an even more detailed issue and merge request overview is available in the [meta for v103](https://gitlab.com/groups/librewolf-community/-/epics/3). if you want to contribute check our gitlab, follow the labels and the epic for the next release. if you want to report something please use gitlab, follow the guidelines and check known issues.

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/391703 > it only took 28 years; better late than never!

I do have RFP enabled, but also webgl enabled. In the doc, it's recommended to at least use canvasblocker, if having webgl enabled. But I'm wondering if RFP should make canvasblocker unnecessary at all. Thanks !

The mozilla blog indicates total cookie protection is now on by default, but I'm wondering what does that mean. Whether it means we shouldn't touch anything from the enhanced tracking protection, or strict keeps being the safest bet? I don't read in the blog anything about special settings, so I'm just wondering if we just got that on both, Firefox and Librewolf, without common settings to worry about enabling/disabling the behavior...

a reminder from our FAQ, for anyone doing it wrong.

we back again with a new release, out on some platforms, building on others. main changes: - all upstream fixes from firefox v101.0. - settings v6.5, mostly a minor cleanup. - multi-language support in the UI for all versions of the browser, all fully rebranded. - windows releases and source tarballs are now signed. enjoy, and as always feedback is appreciated :-)

hello, the new release is out on all platforms. main changes: - all upstream fixes from firefox v100.0, happy birthday! - easter egg to celebrate v100 :-) - settings v6.4, meaning: - improved robustness of certificate revocation false positives, in case of corner cases. - UI for cookie clearing is now more consistent. - updated uBO. - patched new theme UI if RFP is enabled. - rebased some patches. - remapped some more links in the UI. ~~we also have a known issue that causes the main page to display as empty. we worked on a fix and it will be included in the next release.~~ the content of our website has also been updated, including [the faq](https://librewolf.net/docs/faq/) and the [addons](https://librewolf.net/docs/addons/) sections. peace 🐠

Hello, in the [FAQ](https://librewolf.net/docs/faq/#can-i-use-firefox-sync-with-librewolf-is-it-safe-to-do-so) it says that you just have to activate the Firefox Sync via the settings. I have done this, but when I try to log in to the Firefox page, the login hangs.  When I try it on Firefox it works without problems. So what am I doing wrong?

hello, the new release should be out on all platforms. sorry for the delay we had some slowdowns with the settings and then a good portion of our patches needed a rebase. we should have done stuff earlier but personal life got in the way, but well here we are in the end :-) main changes: - based on firefox 99. - settings v6.1, which means: - removed some settings that became deprecated in v99. - general cleanup to remove some redundant prefs. - updated librewolf specific UI: - we had to fully rebase it. - new option to enable firefox sync. requires a restart atm. - new option to harden cross origin referrers even further. I noticed it looks slightly broken, it might need a fix during the next few days. - updated uBO. - remapped a bunch of UI links. - fixed more patches. - increased security of the build process by checking mozilla's signature on the source code. again sorry it took 4-5 days rather than the usual 1 to 3 days. enjoy!

Hi all, I'm the LibreWolf windows dev:) This recent video seems mostly about not wanting to use *ddg* due to the current political climate..
