I tried configuring FreeBSD on a desktop system (with Xfce) for the first time, and encountered the following problem. My mailcap for mutt has points to Firefox for HTML attachments: text/html; firefox %s; needsterminal; When opening a HTML attachment from within mutt, it is displayed in...

I think this is a Firefox issue, not FreeBSD networking stack or anything, but am I the only one having this? Two of websites intermittently open up as if I am not logged in (even though I am logged in)....then I refresh the page, and it opens up like it should with me being logged in. It's...

One of the reasons I'm not switching to Chromium is this little wonder of an extension: https://github.com/KennethSundqvist/key-jump-browser-extension It seems to be little known, so here you have it, keyboard lovers.

Hello all, I want to share that it is possible to enjoy Widevine protect content on Firefox (possibly derivatives also) in addition to what is possible currently with chromium. This will be L3 decode (i.e. software) but in any case it's better than no decode. What you will need: Rust (pkg...

When I configure BitPerfect for my headphones and play a YouTube video in Firefox, I get normal sound in the right ear, but in the left ear I only hear a loud "shsh-ing" noise. Audacious plays music fine, so the issue seems to be specific to Firefox/YouTube. Has anyone else experienced this or...

Recently updated to 14.3 with Firefox 144, and noticed a new pull down menu on selected text. It offered to send the text to an AI chatbot. To disable, goto about:config and search for browser.ml.chat.enabled, and change it to false. May be worth it to disable everything under browser.ml. I'm...

After regularly updating the Tor browser from version 14 to version 15, the browser changed its logo (see screenshot). Moreover, if you compare pixel by pixel (in GIMP), the Tor browser logo is smaller than the Firefox logo. Everything has been updated to the latest versions. XFCE, FreeBSD...

Everyone is familiar with www/firefox and its esr flavor. There's a few other browsers in FreeBSD ports which also rely on the Gecko framework, and are also based on Firefox, which in this list happen to be security or privacy oriented: www/waterfox www/librewolf www/tor-browser You can see...

I spent almost a full day trying to get SNI working on Apache for two web sites on the same IP address before discovering that it actually works using Safari on macOS, but not with the ports version of Firefox on FreeBSD. The classic failure symptom is the second named virtual host trying to use...

Hello everybody. I'm during moving from Linux to FreeBSD and most issues experienced were more or less easy to solve. Except one. Details are: 13.5 release, AMD64, quarterly branch. Nvidia drivers installed from packages, not directly from Nvidia. Xonar D1 soundcard - not supported directly...

Good day! I have some problem with Firefox. I usually open 5-6 Firefox apps with many tabs. Sometimes my computer suddenly turns off due to different problems. When Firefox tries to restore sessions it opens apps and tabs which were not at the moment of sudden closing, but may be month ago...

Hi. If we have DRM in Firefox in Linux and macOS. Why we don’t have it in FreeBSD?

I was curious as to what OS I appear as on different servers and check out a website called https://whatsmyos.com/ Both Chromium and Firefox show that I am running Linux. Luakit shows that I am running FreeBSD 64bit. I wonder how many metrics are measuring web traffic and counting FreeBSD as...
