Arch Linux Wayland FF v150 from Arch repos

When right clicking the context menu appears, but sometimes in odd places, and the disappears, so you can't select anything.

Same is true selecting the Help submenu from the Hamburger menu.

Restarting the browser fixes it for a few minutes, then same problem comes back.

Other people also reporting the same thing - also Linux Wayland: https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/1suounc/comment/oi7jk9u/

1- I am forced to abandon firefox browser on desktop 2- I wont quit using firefox until mozilla keep fighting against google's discrimination 3- I am forced to see no proper error message 4- No proper reason is told to wait and try later 5- This war wont end

I hate google more than any company in this world.

Now every (not just any random ) video when play for 10 seconds shows me same ugly annoying message

"Something went wrong. Refresh or try again later"

NO refresh works later after one day or even after removing all the history and saved site data. Even re install of latest firefox has no effect on google. Changing user agent is not working either. Tor browser is the only way to watch any youtube video. BIG, GREAT AND MANY THANKS TO TOR NETWORK.

Tor is left for the only way i can have a little freedom to watch youtube videos.

My pain point is that why i am forced to abandon firefox. I have been using it for decades. I love it. Its my best browser ever.,

Why chrome is the only browser to be allowed to watch videos on you tube.

Even safari when used there is always warning saying your browser will not be supported in future.

Google is creating same kind of problems in Android OS too.

My friends, Let me ask, what our future under google umbrella?

I strongly encourage you to raise voice for browsers other than chrome especially for firefox.

I use updates on linux and my firefox is always latest. There is no chance of any corruption or security risk with firefox on linux. Google intentionally forcing me to use chrome.

I want you to help me if have any clue what is going on.

There are urls saved in my firefox which are not listed under "Manage Bookmarks". At least one is my own bookmark i already deleted. All others seem to be basically advertisement. Urls i never visited and don`t want suggested to me. I do not use a firefox account and my settings are set to only suggest my bookmarks in the url bar. How to remove this Garbage?

In a thread discussion about the flag, "browser.tabs.unloadOnLowMemory" dated 23-Nov-2022 (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33706117) it was mentioned that we've disabled tab unloading on Linux because low-memory detection just didn't work.

Has the issue been fixed? Does the low-memory detection work in Linux? Can it be enabled now?

Does it get triggered when SWAP is being used? Or when system free RAM falls say to about 25% of total physical RAM?

i recently switched to zorin os from windows 11 and i noticed my firefox data was gone (despite being signed in + syncing my passwords) could it be my wifi? an unrecognized device? its the same laptop + network so idk what

Firefox has been crashing regularly for a full day now. I have one profile with multiple extensions, and a fresh profile that is meant to test firefox without any. With this new, "clean-slate" profile with none of my extensions installed, I still get repeated crashes. It is getting in the way of my ability to work- it happens even in Troubleshoot mode, even though I could not confirm any hardware issues prior to this.

Will I need to delete the extenstion-filled profile entirely before going forward? Is there an update I need to install, or anything else I should do myself? Should I provide a list of my extensions?

Attached is the Report ID of my latest crash- hopefully it will help.

Thank you!

If I'm not mistaken, between FF146 and FF147 it appears the location of the profile directory has changed. It was:

   /home/<user>/.mozilla/firefox  

and now is

   /home/<user>/.config/mozilla/firefox

Is that correct?

this is nice feature

what if this translation could be run a standalone tool, command, or you call an api to translate something locally?

then we would be able to translate documents, mail, .. maybe just in html and plain text (with or without markup) format
