After the recent update (130.0-1) my settings in the “DNS over HTTPS” settings are no longer saving and are reset to “Increased protection” with the Mozilla DNS server every time I close the browser.

Does anyone know how I can fix this?

WTF @librewolf - you had only one job and you are failing in it.

"No telemetry" -> first thing Librewolf does is connect to Mozilla telemetry services.

Found out this by having @[email protected] installed.

It's weird that the default homepage doesn't have the LibreWolf logo. It would make sense, right?

I recently migrated to Librewolf from Firefox due to Mozilla's recent blunder of covertly adding adware to their browser.

I like the ResistFingerprinting feature for added privacy, but enabling it seems to set my browser time to GMT instead of ET, with most times on webpages (which refer to browser time) ahead by several hours as a result.

Can I define my desired timezone in the browser settings so I don't have to pick one or the other between a correct browser time and better privacy? TIA :D!

Is there a setting that can allow me to keep browsing history on LibreWolf "forever", i.e. without it expiring and getting dumped after some time?

It's not in the settings, but I'm willing to dive into about:config to do it.

Hi!

I was wondering if there is a way to update LibreWolf settings (those you can override) from LibreWolf itself, or I have to wait until a new release.

Thanks!

Firefox is just another US-corporate product with an 'open source' sticker on it.

Their version 128 update has auto checked a new little privacy breach setting.

If you still use a corporate browser, at least do some safety version! We mainly use @librewolf based on firefox. (yes, we know, a stable european or even non-US browser is still considered 'futuristic' in europe)

Missing Icons (kbin.run)

For a while now my Librewolf installation has been very weird with icons, converting them to little rectangles with what looks like UTF codes in them. On Piped for example, instead of the play icon it shows the literal word "play". Anybody know what may be causing this and/or how to fix it?

Hello, I have downloaded and installed Librefox (126.0.1-1) on MX Linux 23.2 minimal, with the commands from here: https://librewolf.net/installation/debian/

Although according to the policies.json it should install uBlock Origin, Librewolf didn't.

I can see on the Librewolf website that the preinstalled version is a custom version. Which settings should I activate in the default uBlock Origin to match it 100% to the customized version? Thanks!

Hello @librewolf how is it possible to setup @keepassxc on macos with the browser addon? I cannot make it work. #Help would be greatly appreciated. #foss #privacy #keepassxc #librewolf #setup

I'm annoyed by the fact that using LibreWolf means that I lose on system theming and incorrect date and time on chat app.

DarkReader is unreliable, slows down performance of the page, and messes up theming. This is hurting my productivity. Any way to by-pass these two information?

Google appears to have blocked sign-ins from LibreWolf is there a fix for this or am I outta luck?

Hello guys! I have done a fresh install of Arch Linux with KDE. The first thing to do was downloading Librewolf but there is an issue. I used an installation way that is without an AUR helper. And the package named librewolf-bin. System updated, git command executed, changed directory to librewolf-bin, executed the makepkg -si. But it couldn't verify PGP signatures.

Då var det alltså dags att byta webbläsare igen. Denna gången till @librewolf
Hittills har det gått väldigt smidigt.

Can't download Librewolf in Arch Linux + KDE Plasma 6

I'm trying to download it from AUR but it gives me error about gpg and closed DNS. Can't import the keys.

I believe the settings to disable this on Librewolf are set by default...

I remember there was a discussion in the old GitLab repo about Librewolf not supporting Google Docs shortcut (e.g: Ctrl+Z).

Anyone has the about:config fix for that?

I know that the dark mode setting is disabled by Resist Fingerprinting. I am not using that, I am using the Dark Reader extension. The extension still doesn't work, but it works on Firefox.

Other extensions I have installed: Ublock Origin, Decentraleyes, Skip Redirect, Onetab, Old Reddit Redirect

Librewolf version: 124.0.1-1

I’m trying @librewolf browser and it might seem like a small thing to you all, but they went out of their way to preserve accessibility features for disabled users like myself, whereas other privacy solutions remove accessibility features completely, and their efforts to make sure disabled users have a private focused but accessible browser is more welcome than you can imagine because disabled people need privacy as well. I would argue that disabled people need privacy more. I wish more #privacy advocates took accessibility and disability into account the way they have currently. I hope this remains a core mission of theirs

I was monitoring my network traffic when I noticed that Librewolf was constantly connected to the IP 34.107.243.93.

A quick search made me find this post https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1364193 on the Mozilla Support Forum, according to which Firefox is constantly connected to the IP 34.107.221.82 to check for an internet connection, so I assumed that this connection had a similar purpose.

The problem I have with that is, that dig -x 34.107.243.93 returns 93.243.107.34.bc.googleusercontent.com. As I didn't like the idea of my computer being connected to a google service whenever I use Librewolf, I tried deactivating the connection or at least changing the IP, but I couldn't find a feature for this in neither the settings nor the about:config.

I tried blocking the IP with UFW, but the the connection still exists even after restarting the browser or rebooting. I have three questions:

A: Am I correct in the assumption that this connection exists to check for an internet connection or is something else going on here?

B: Is there a way to deactivate this "feature" or at least change the IP to that of a more privacy respecting party?

C: How can the connection persist after I blocked it in my firewall? I haven't tried blocking it in my router yet, but I find this really creepy.

I've enjoyed using Librewolf for almost 3 years now but this is really bugging me.

I'm thanking you in advance any replies and advice.

EDIT: Accidentally wrote "browser" instead of router in question C.

I sometimes need to test if a website I develop is working correctly in dark mode, but dark/light mode buttons doesn't work in LibreWolf devtools. Is there a solution for this?

@librewolf I now have librewolf logo on the top left of the browser👍 upon opening a tab. Did this come with the latest update 124 or was it already there ?

I use a VPN n my system which works properly in firefox, but does not work at all in librewolf. Both network settings are same. What could be the problem?
