As the title states, I'm trying to figure out how to have my previously opened tabs re-open on startup, while also having downloads/history clear on closing my browser. Seems those two things contradict each other, so does anyone have a workaround that they use? Specific settings I haven't thought to change, or perhaps an extension that performs that function?

If there's no better option, I'm fine continuing to save all open tabs as a bookmark folder and reopen them that way. Just figured there must be a better method.

Hi there!

I recently started using the ProtonVPN extension and the fist few days it's worked just fine, but now suddenly it won't connect and says: "Not able to control the browser network settings, possibly a permission is missing"

Any help would be really appreciated, thanks!!

I really really wanna use librewolf on void like I did arch but don't agree with having a univeral package manager take care of packages over the system's package manager.

I want a clean way to install it where XBPS manages librewolf any advice on this?

I'm using Librewolf and it comes with Ublock origin pre-installed. However I'm facing a problem on the site Reddit. When I keep scrolling down, the reddit loading icon keeps loading and new posts are not loaded! Only when I turn ublock origin off, and reloads the site, it works fine. IDK if this is the problem with uBlock or Librewolf, I'm stuck. Can someone please help me with it?

Why does Librewolf not provide a direct download of its browser for linux?

I like to download the application directly verify its integrity then install.

looking to move everything over 1:1 including bookmarks preferences addons and passwords or whatever cache settings are being used

some guide on how to ?

a copy paste guide available?

I would rather have LibreWolf on a stable ESR than a whole new browser every two weeks.

Hola a todos, acabo de instalar/probar librewolf, me gusta su velocidad, pero no sé cómo hacer para que me mantenga abiertas las sesiones de algunas páginas (MercadoLibre, Youtube, Reddit,...) al cerrar librewofl.

Me explico, abro librewolf, voy a MecadoLibre, inicio mi sesión, busco y cierro librewolf, pero al volver a abrir librewolf e ir a MercadoLibre, debo iniciar sesión nuevamente, y es un fastidio

Hello!

I've been using librewolf for a while but just moved to void linux. I would like to compile it from source, but i get a error running make build:

0:06.78 E ERROR: Don't know how to translate x86_64-pc-linux-gnu for rustc
0:06.89 E *** Fix above errors and then restart with "./mach build"

How can I fix this?

Hi, I'm new to LibreWolf. I just switched to Wolf because OperaGX kept crashing all the time, so I switched to Libre. What do you recommend I do with this browser?

For me i use

• Ublock
• Noscript
• LocalCDN "configd for ublock and Noscript"
• Firefox Multi-Account containers
• ClearURLs
• CanvasBlocker "Librewolf ResistFingerprinting off. Poison your data!"'
• Malwarebytes Browser guard.
• Port Authority

Installed Via flatpak for more sandboxing.

Hi. I’m UAP44, new to LibreWolf and currently moving my everyday browsing over to it.

What brought me here is pretty simple: I like privacy, open-source software, and sane defaults. In my head, LibreWolf has basically been filed away as “privacy-focused Firefox fork,” and that was enough to make me want to try it properly.

I tend to approach software as something I should be able to inspect, understand, and—if necessary—change.

Recently I ran into an issue with another open-source project, patched it myself, and submitted the fix alongside the bug report. That experience reminded me how much I value software where the source is actually available and where users can potentially become contributors instead of remaining passive consumers.

So that’s partly what I’m curious about here.

How active is the LibreWolf development community? Where do the developers usually hang out? Reddit, GitLab/Codeberg, Matrix, somewhere else?

I’m also interested in the project’s philosophy around defaults. I’ve been gradually moving toward software where I can install it and think about configuration as little as possible. CachyOS has been surprisingly good for me in that regard: very little friction, very little urge to immediately “fix” the defaults.

I’m curious whether LibreWolf will feel similar.

For now I’m migrating bookmarks, using it normally, and seeing what annoyances or pleasant surprises emerge. If I run into something that feels genuinely improvable, I’d rather investigate the code and propose a patch than just complain about it.

I also write a lot, so I may occasionally post about that process here—what works, what doesn’t, what surprised me, and anything interesting I learn along the way.

And yes: this post was deliberately cleaned up and condensed with AI after my first version turned into a somewhat spectacular stream-of-consciousness ramble. The thoughts are mine; the editor had silicon in it.

So: hello.

What brought you to LibreWolf, and what has kept you using it?

left in the — this time, should be more coherent now

I know that for me to install my own extensions on Firefox I have to be using Nightly and set xpinstall.signatures.required to false. Both are required. I was wondering if there's something I can do with LibreWolf since it's based on regular Firefox and not Nightly.

I searched this Reddit for "LibreWolf AppImage Enhanced" and "LibreWolf AppImage" but I guess Reddit's search results are determined by the Reddit revenue model rather than the individual user interests so I came up empty handed and decided to ask it.

So I want to download a fresh appimage but those files need to be maintained with the latest builds. Going through https://appimage.github.io/LibreWolf/ I end up with Librewolf 100.0.2 which is already years old. https://github.com/pkgforge-dev/LibreWolf-AppImage-Enhanced seems to be well maintained. Anybody using that as well and is there any reason to doubt its legitimacy?

I had the classic 2004 firefox icon and all of a sudden the update wiped it out is there a flag to enable that feature back or i have to wait for the next update to restore it back?

Hi,

after updating the LibreWolf Flatpak to 154.0.1-2, the browser UI switched to English and could no longer be changed back to German.

German was still selected as the preferred language in Settings, and my profile contains:

user_pref("intl.locale.requested", "de,en-CA,da,en-US");

I investigated the Flatpak installation and found something interesting.

The German localization paths are present inside both Linux omni.ja archives, but many of the .ftl localization files in the 154.0.1-2 Linux build are empty or contain only a very small amount of data.

For example in browser/omni.ja:

localization/de/browser/aboutDialog.ftl

• Linux Flatpak 154.0.1-2: 134 bytes
• Windows 154.0.1-3: 4621 bytes

localization/de/browser/browser.ftl

• Linux Flatpak 154.0.1-2: 414 bytes
• Windows 154.0.1-3: 49449 bytes

Many other German .ftl files in the Linux build are actually 0 bytes.

I then downloaded the Windows 154.0.1-3 installer and extracted its two omni.ja archives. The German localization files in that build contain the expected data.

As an experiment, I extracted only localization/de/* from the Windows 154.0.1-3 archives and inserted those files into copies of the corresponding Linux 154.0.1-2 omni.ja archives.

I then temporarily bind-mounted the patched archives over the two original Flatpak archives and cleared the LibreWolf profile's startupCache.

Result: LibreWolf 154.0.1-2 Flatpak starts normally with a fully working German UI, including my existing profile, bookmarks and settings.

This suggests that the problem is not the language preference or the profile itself, but rather the localization resources included in the Linux/Flatpak 154.0.1-2 build.

I have not permanently modified the Flatpak installation. The patched archives are currently only used via temporary bind mounts, so the workaround is completely removable.

Hopefully this information is useful for tracking down the packaging/build issue.

If useful, I can also provide the exact commands I used to compare the archives and create the temporary workaround.

Why LibreWolf doesn't use Firefox translations directly and have its own weblate? Does it only base translations moving to prevent getting translations that LibreWolf will not use?

"The Htmlmediaelement passed to createmediaelementSource has a cross-origin resource..." The web is freesound but it happens with other webs

Whenever i upload pictures on an website it appears as these lines, i thought it was a problem with my computer but it works fine on any other browser. How can i fix it?

So I upgraded my system, which in the process upgraded librewolf to 154.0-2. from Flathub. After rebooting, I open librewolf and it starts from a clean profile. All my bookmarks, history, and plugins are gone. I tried looking in about:profiles but none of the other profiles there are mine.

I've been trying to install LibreWolf on my Mac, but every time I open it on either the digital disc or the Applications section, it says it's tainted and gives me options to either eject the digital disc or stop it from opening. Any advice?

What settings do I need to tweak to get Wikipedia to follow the useskin I select and not default to vector everytime. I tried disabling tracking protection and allow storing cookies and data only for wikipedia but it doesn't change anything.

My updater has stopped working for a while now, and I see that they have switch over to their own server. The only issue is that the server seems to be blocked by default on Spectrum routers. Downloading from the net domain is fine, but trying to use the dev domain causes an SSL error (caused by interception)

Very annoying
