LibreWolf

I know that Librewolf ships with privacy-enhanced defaults, but what will I lose in terms of privacy if I launched a Librewolf profile in Firefox?

I just switched from firefox to librewolf and I imported the autofill passwords through a csv file, but autofill isn't working when I log into websites (the autofill option doesn't show up when I click into "enter password") and I have to manually copy the passwords from about:logins. How do I fix that?

I'm switching from firefox to librewolf on mac, and when I open the "import data" menu on librewolf I can't find the "import from firefox" option. Screenshot above.

Is there support planned for .apk packages in the future? I would love the idea to switch from firefox to librewolf on my smartphone.

Hi all, please use this issue to vote on moving our repositories away from Gitlab.com into Codeberg.org. The issue can also be used for further discussion... [vote]

On a long participated on forum, I can not update my profile picture! I am sure its due to some setting on Librewolf that I do not understand. Any hint/help is greatly appreciated! (PS I am a 'digital dino' having been around computers since 1969. However the constant 'tech' updating Is leaving me in the dust)

Fingerprint.com allows you to test web fingerprinting. This is a more advanced method of tracking individuals throughout the web without the need of cookies.

~~Mozilla~~ The Tor Project developed a pretty effective ~~toll~~ tool against this called resistFingerprinting. It can be enabled in about:config. LibreWolf has this feature enabled by default. Sadly, it doesn't really work.

On Firefox you can visit fingerprint.com in a private window with resistFingerprinting enabled and after closing the private window and visiting fingerprint.com again, there will be a new id meaning that you have not been tracked.

~~On LibreWolf you can do the exact same thing but the same id will show up every time. Is there a way to configure LibreWolf to be more effective at resisting fingerprinting?~~

On LibreWolf you can do the exact same thing but the same id will show up everytime. To get the same functionality as Firefox you need to install the Canvas Blocker extension.

Outside of the default uBlock Origin, do you use any other extensions that offer privacy benefits? I only have one other extension installed, JShelter, and I'm wondering if this is an overkill or not.

I found both these settings set to False which causes a cpu overload when playing video. Anyone know why?

When I play a video from odysee.com on LibreWolf it uses 2-3x the cpu that Brave does to play the same video. It also turns on the fans in my laptop which signals overburden. My laptop has plenty of power so I"m wondering what the problem is. Have I missed a setting or is this just how LibreWolf works?

I've had my eye on @librewolf for quite a while and, on occasion, installed it to check out its progress. Inspired by #Chrome trying to take over the internet again, I thought it would be a good time to try the latest version of #LibreWolf and see if it would now suit me as a secondary browser.

I must say I'm quite impressed with v115.0.2-2 and the progress LibreWolf has made since the last time I tried it. I'll be trying it on my #Linux rig tonight to be sure but I think it's now a keeper. 🐺

Hi, it's very strange, I found your page with posts and it said 1.5k subscribers, and when I joined I am presented with an empty community (0 subscribers) and no posts. I checked many times that I am in the right place so maybe I did something else wrong?

Coming from Fedora to Debian Sid
Now Firefox Sync doesnt work

Update: I also cannot install addons via addons.mozilla.org
After tinkering around i noticed the browser's useragent is set to display as Netscape on Linux, which is strange

I have turned general.useragent.compatMode.firefox to true via about:config and it seems to work, i can use Firefox Sync and use addons now

Hey! I'm new to LibreWolf and before I was using Vivaldi's mouse gestures for long enough that they are hard coded into my brain. Problem is that the mouse gestures I'm using now (Gesturefy) doesn't work on new tabs since all extension are disabled there by default.

I'm assuming it's possible to give permissions for the extension through overrides.cfg, but this is where my technical abilities end. What do I need to add to the .cfg to make Gesturefy work on all types of tabs?

Librewolf is great, but now some stupid sites require chromium-based browsers to work. E.g: Microsoft teams.

• Ungoogled chromium? problem is that it's worse in fingerprinting compared to Brave. See: https://privacytests.org/
• Brave: bloated and filled with unnecessary features.

Why isn't there a Brave fork yet that gets rid of the crypto junk?

Linux has now hit 3% according to sat counter. It isn't has obscure as it was in the past and I think it is a lot less of a privacy risk.

I also know a significant number of Linux users who use librewolf. This means that the user share might be a bit higher

Is this also present on Librewolf? Or is it removed?

I don't like someone having remote control over what I'm using, and this seems to have some of it, according to Bug 1832791 - Add to AMRemoteSettings support for quarantinedDomains RemoteSettings entries.

If not removed completely, perhaps it can be a default config option on Librewolf, taking advantage on the opt-out made available through extensions.quarantinedDomains.enabled.

I don't know the implications on "security" by opting out, but for sure I don't want any of my chosen privacy extensions to be shut down for any specific site, even if it's not monitored by FF or whatever. Also, who decides what's insecure for which sites? Is there a Librewolf say about this "feature"?

More about it from Firefox 115 can silently remotely disable my extension on any site.

Edit:

Two issues were filed about this (already closed), Should allowing FF remote control over extensions (restricted ones) be disabled by default on Librewolf , and some work before v115, which are fixed on 115.0.1-2, through commit 2c561ca85dbf791d83da41ffab829afca8b19323, but not yet fixed on 115.0.1-1...

I am a new user to Librewolf and am curious about the community's thoughts on DNS over HTTPS in the browser.

Hi all, just a simple question: Why Librewolf is not packaged in Debian? It's a pity I have to add external repos or run the appimage. Cheers!
