With the number of people concerned about privacy, it is a wonder why chrome is even popular.

      I wonder if you deem Firefox buggy or having not enough features?

      Using Firefox since it came out and never experienced any troubles.

              It works fine with my Cinnamon window manager. So the bug could be in Firefox, in your WM, in both, or more likely in the integration of two, as a side effect, which why I’ve said “on the edge”. It’s nearly impossible to test your software with every combination of a system. So the solution here to file an issue both for WM and Firefox and hope someone from either communities will solve it. Or just get another browser or WM.

          Sounds to me like some of the third party plugins/extensions you’ve installed are conflicting with one another. That’s not Mozilla’s fault. That can happen to Chrome too.

          You’re using several extensions that were all made by different people, and not necessarily designed to interact or be functional together. That’s not a Firefox bug.

              Extensions are third party apps and most, if not all, of them are not made by Mozilla. If an unofficial, third party plugin doesn’t work, it’s not up to Firefox to fix that. The issue is with the third party apps.

              FF is allowed to change their software, and they’re not at fault if those changes break existing plugins that they had no hand in creating. That’s not how software works.

        Never? Are you only browsing Lemmy and Wikipedia?

        Seriously, not to take anything away from what is does good, but Firefox is littered with bugs. And most websites seem to be optimised for Chrome these days which makes the Firefox experience a bit less nice.

          Firefox is littered with bugs.

          Links or it didn’t happen. Seriously, I have used FF and only FF for the last 15 years and have had zero showstoppers.
          Link me some links that work in chrome and not firefox, I wanna see!

            The visual effects (background overlay, animations etc) in Google Meet do not work 😢

          I’ve had some instances of wondering why a website doesn’t load or does it’s function properly, usually government websites or application forms, and the issue gets resolved once I do it on Chrome or Edge. It’s not a big deal for me, I daily drive Firefox and have Edge installed for those instances.

      They aren’t “concerned about privacy”, they are “concerned about privacy for the same price”. And they are real cheapskates.

      Firefox is free. And respects your privacy.
