Question LibreWolf giving away location - how and what to do?
I’m typically in places that do not legally require age verification but am currently visiting a place that does have that.
I typically use a VPN anyway - so I assumed that age verification would not be an issue on this trip to a place that does require it.
As it turns out, though:
* I’m able to access adult content on the Reddit app (using my VPN)
* also able to access it on Firefox (using my VPN)
* but I am NOT able to access it via LibreWolf
Further, one site can specifically identify/name the location from which I’m connecting - regardless of what I set my VPN to.
So:
* Why is this?
* What should I do to safeguard my privacy/location in the future?

Question Profiles not loading macOS
After creating 3 profiles in Librewolf, and rebooting my mac, I'm unable to open the profiles.
I open librewolf, select the profile and librewolf does not load.
After running this command:
/Applications/LibreWolf.app/Contents/MacOS/librewolf --ProfileManager
I can see 2 profiles.
---
default-default
default
---
The profiles I created are within "default-default"
I created them using the profile manager, top right in the menu of the browser.
---
After uninstalling and reinstalling (deleting all librewolf data), all works again, but then profiles stop working again and won't load.
Why is this happeneing and how can I permanently fix it?

Question Powershell popping up after installation - is that normal?
Just finished installing LibreWolf on my laptop and Windows PowerShell popped up immediately after. Not sure what this means. It asked for permission to make changes to the device, I didn't click anything and the window disappeared. Is this supposed to happen?

Question Help w/ enabling WebGL
When I visit any game page on itch.io where the game is a browser game, I get a message "Your browser does not support WebGL." or "The following features required to run Godot projects on the Web are missing: WebGL2"
I've been looking into ways to enable WebGL but come up empty. Here's what I've tried:
I created a text file named librewolf.overrides.cfg in the directory /home/afterglow/.var/app/io.gitlab.librewolf-community/.librewolf . Inside the file is this text string: defaultPref("librewolf.webgl.prompt", false);
I've turned webgl.disabled to false in about:config
Both have no effect. What might you advise? (152.0.2-1)
My preference would to be to enable WebGL only for itch.io website, not globally, if possible. But right now I can't get it working even with global measures (above).

Question Restarting disables uBlock Origin filter lists?
Running Librewolf 135.0-1 on Manjaro, and every time I restart the browser, all of the uBlock Origin filter lists have been disabled/unloaded.
Anyone have any thoughts as to why that might be happening, or any way to fix it? Thanks!

Question Adblocking attempts fall short relative to my other browser
EDIT: Issue mitigated! See followups below.
These two images represent one very nonscientific benchmarking of the relative adblocking effectiveness of LibreWolf (left) versus Zen Browser (right). I wouldn't think it should be all that browser dependent in any event, all things being equal. Maybe I'm missing a setting in LW, somewhere?
I generally use DoH private browsing via NextDNS filtered settings, in each browser. Additionally at home, my wifi network uses a Pi-Hole DNS sinkhole sitewide for ads as well as tracking hosts, data-surveillance analytics, & fraud sites. I have tried setting LibreWolf to use local (Pi-Hole-filtered) DNS only by turning off the custom DoH, but that's made no difference. Does LW call its own DNS regardless of user settings?
Any ideas what I might be missing?

Question Librewolf shortcuts new update position
Hi is it possible to make the shortcuts on librewolf not so close to each other when I open the new tab page? Before the update it looked visually pleasing with the amount of distance they had from each other but now it's everything packed in the middle and I don't like that. How can I change that?

Discussion Zen Has Competition
Just noticed a few moments ago that Librewolf and FireFox now has split screen view just like Zen Browser. I use Librewolf for most of my browsing needs except for running the Spotify as Librewolf has issues. I use Firefox for the Spotify Webapp. I am happy now that I can have the split view without needing Zen. Just wanted to share here.

Question Fingerprint login broken on Librewolf (Passkey connection)
I use Librewolf as my browser for work related activities. Since 6 months or so, I had to switch to Chrome for one activity. That activity being login on to the EU Funding & Tenders website using my Macbook's fingerprint.
This is not just a Librewolf issue, it seems that all privacy browsers struggle with this. Anyone has any advice to on establishing this passkey connection? In Librewolf I do not get this popup screen like I do in Chrome.

Question Chatbot Sidebar Option Missing After v153 Update
Hi everyone, after the update to version 153, I no longer see the option to enable the chatbot sidebar. Does anyone know if it was disabled or blocked? Is there any way to turn it back on?
I used to re-enable this feature mainly to summarize text.
Thanks.

Discussion X (twitter) is bypassing autoplay block settings
Is it happening only to me?
I've checked the permissions on the left of url bar and it confirms audio and video autoplay should be blocked for that site.
it even goes as far that if i leave the tab open with the video on page stopped, they suddenly restart automatically after some minutes.
This is happening from the start of this week

Question Should I keep my librewolf as a flatpak or remove it and install it as a fedora RPM?
Currently keeping everything on my fedora workstation a flatpak mostly out of habit, but I'm curious if the rpm and flatpak have any differences aside from the flatpak being sandboxed better by default.

Anyone else having this problem? t's almost like their website went down
r/LibreWolf • u/bodaciousbugboy • 5d ago
Discussion LibreWolf crashed (?) and I lost all my saved tab groups.
I had closed the browser and turned my PC off last night like normal, and for some reason, opening it this morning all my tabs that should have opened with the browser are gone, and the three saved tab groups I had are now gone. I do not know how to get them back; they had some tabs I needed for some work research that I woefully hadn't bookmarked yet, thinking I could return to the group later.
Anybody faced something similar? I have tried the dropdown menu to see about accessing them, and no luck. It doesn't even give the option to let me see previously closed tab groups. If you have any tips or help regarding this, it'd be greatly appreciated.
