I did not ask for tab grouping. I do not want tab grouping. And then when browser grouped tabs without my requesting it to; and would NOT allow me a way to un-group them, providing only the option to "delete tab group", which when exercised deleted all the tabs, not just the group! Now, I don't f-ing want firefox anymore! Why act like microsoft and shove features down our throat without explanation or option to chose or not chose?

Hi,

I use firefox nightly as my everyday driver for WEB. So far I was very satisfied with the performance and mostly with youtube videos and hardware decoding. I use a Nvidia 1060 (GP106) which supports VP09/AVC1/H265 decoding.

The problem started only recently after some updates of the Firefox when I noticed that VP09 isn't hardware accelerated anymore. They way I test is using the Windows 11 task manager/Performance/GPU/Video decode.

At the same time, the stable Firefox has no issues with VP09 HW decoding. The same is valid for any other browser I tested. So the problem is isolated to the nightly.

I downloaded and ran mozregression GUI which indeed showed me that some nightly version before the VP09 worked just fine. I tested using the dates option of the tool.

This is the push_log URL from my test.

Thanks in advance for your help

Stopping AUTOMATIC JPG to AVIF Conversions On Download

Hello,

I am trying to download a few JPG images from Meetup.com. Here is an example URL:

https://secure.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/3/5/0/a/highres_528673578.jpeg

This is CLEARLY a JPG image from the URL. However, when I right click on the image to Save As the only choice given is AVIF! I cannot open or use AVIF files. As you know the conversion process is LOSSY so trying to convert BACK to a JPG format is not recommended.

It is fine if Firefox and other browsers want to use AVIF format internally but you should, at least, give users the OPTION of downloading the native format.

So how do I fix/configure Firefox to provide the native JPG file download?

Thanks, Steve

Initially, firefox denies my profile registered with version 129 (probably) because current version is 130 in this new computer. I succeed in turning back partly to 129 but probably without some files necessary for snap. The profile is OK but firefox works wrong. Updates are no longer possible and Ubuntu proposes to migrate towards version 24.04 LTS. Is either the good way or an other solution exists ? Thanks to best hint.

My husband was the computer expert - not me and he passed away four years ago. So please bear with me. Until two days ago I was able to open two Facebook tabs on Firefox web browser which is necessary for a platform that I do moderating for. Now for some reason I cannot and I don't understand why. I have tried to find the answer by searching and unable to resolve. Again, very much a novice at this stuff so any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much.

Hi, I'm using Firefox and I'd like to customize my new tab page experience. Currently, I see a mix of sponsored content and suggested sites when I open a new tab, but I'd prefer to see my actual most visited websites or bookmarks instead. Is there a way to:

Turn off sponsored content completely? Show only my frequently visited sites? Add custom shortcuts to specific websites I use daily?

I've looked through the settings but can't find the right options. Any guidance on how to personalize this would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for your help.
