helllllllp

do any australians know if I can circumvent this and still avoid ads? sbs is cramping my desire to stitch without dealing with ads

tagging @derinthescarletpescatarian because you've posted about adblocks on firefox before and are australian, do you happen to know?

Firefox is missing one thing i liked from chrome. Chrome had "mute site", firefox has "mute tab". "Mute site" was persistent across sessions. I never want to hear audio from reddit, ever. I could solve this issue by never going to reddit... but does anyone have another workaround?

ok "firefox is the best" site, how come without warning (and im pretty sure without updating) this browser cant load twitch videos/streams anymore? how do i get it so that i can watch twitch again? its just a black box that loads forever. no amount of pausing/playing or reloading does anything. videos on all other sites still work. twitch embeds on discord work, and it works on chrome

i have a query for the firefox users from a new firefox user

especially the one in STEM and other majors that make it so you have to read a lot of papers

is there an extention or something that allows me to take out the references from the middle of the text? i swear that reading a phrase of 15 words with 5 to a bajillion references makes it impossible to understand

Since everyone uses Firefox here: how do I import everything I saved and stuff on my computer to the Firefox app on my phone. And also how do I import everything from Safari (yes I know) to Firefox?

Asking because I keep seeing entreaties to switch to Firefox: Are there any open source/lite versions of Firefox? Is Pale Moon legit? I use a Chrome-based browser (that is supposedly better for privacy but still Chrome-based) only because every single time I have ever tried Firefox it has slowed my system to an absolute crawl. That's been with adblockers/malware blockers and scans. I can't multitask with Firefox because it slows down everything else. I can't play a game and have Firefox open in case I need to check a guide. It makes everything molasses. I don't want to have to keep closing the browser or rebooting my system to keep it from doing that. I have not even tried Firefox on my newest laptop because it's been such a mess in the past. So anything like a Firefox Lite for those of us who would like to switch but have had issues with Firefox?

Has anyone seen screen glitching like this while using Firefox on Windows 10?

Or on any other platform, for that matter?
