Seems like a fine set of updates for our first 2-week release cadence.

u/tRolock5 13h ago

The tab organiser looks useful, but I'm just waiting for the Nova redesign.

Meanwhile me waiting for this bug to be fixed

"when opening or refreshing X(Twitter)"

I found your problem

4

u/MosKnight 17h ago

No you didn't. The issue is deeper than that.

u/Mihuy 17h ago

Yeah I hate that bug... Also this one annyoes me because maybe I am just weird but I like to speed up parts of a video and quickly go back down to 1x so I either hold down space / mouse1 to speed up a youtube video to 2x...

u/MosKnight 17h ago

A lot of stuff seems to be on the backlog

u/GimpyGeek 14h ago

Oh that does sound very annoying glad I don't use that a ton atm

u/Prestigious_Pace_108 15h ago

In case you haven't already, add yourself to the CC list of the bug. It is kind of voting.

u/MozRyanVM Mozilla Employee 15h ago

Looks like the developer who's been investigating the issue assigned the bug to themself yesterday, so with any luck you'll hopefully see some momentum on it soon.

u/Auxeer 15h ago

I have that same bug on my end too, every time I open twitter my videos stutter for milliseconds, when I close twitter tab it happens again.

u/ConsuelaSaysNoNo 8h ago

They don't actually fix bugs. They just marinate in Bugzilla for years.

u/No-Aspect-2926 16h ago

well never happened to me

but those bug issues in firefox and any other program/extension are a pain

for example, for me uBO appears some stuff in a video player on some website, I can show the element and other stuff
but when someone from uBO go see, they can't reproduce

Control+Alt+X still loses cursor focus for AI Chatbots. Been this way for a few months now. Humble request to fix, please?

1

u/jolie_mozilla 8h ago

Hi Malaprobably, Ctrl + Alt + X is the Windows shortcut for opening the Firefox Sidebar chatbot when the Sidebar Chatbot feature is enabled. You can also customize keyboard shortcuts by going to about:keyboard > Sidebar > AI Chatbot. Hope this helps!

2

u/Malaprobably 7h ago

When done in Linux, there is no cursor in the prompt box. It disappears, so you must manually select the prompt with mouse. 

Not looking to customize the keyboard shortcut .

Wow I am impressed with YouTube speed. Well done. Retested all settings again, enabled experimental filters, enabled ublock annoyances filters and I no longer have initial video start delay ~3-4 seconds. Changing video resolution also seems more snappy. And I keep YT Control Panel extension enabled without it causing any issues. Good progress, YT is probably the only app that works worse than on Chromium-based browsers, but it's not entirely Mozilla's fault...

u/Tango1777 8h ago

Applies to Twitch, as well. Now streams switch literally instantly. Night and day difference.

u/BluepaiN 12h ago

The plus-button for opening new tabs is now stuck in the upper right corner and not next to the tabs as usual. Any idea on how to fix?

2

u/TheCravin 11h ago edited 11h ago

Yes! It's dreadful! Any way to fix it would be greatly appreciated!

Edit: In fact, you can go to hamburger menu > more tools > customize toolbar, then drag it back to where it belongs. I had issues doing it initially, but restarting firefox fixed it.

1

u/BluepaiN 10h ago

Well, now it's just all the way to the left instead. Cant seem to get it just to the right side of my rightmost tab. Edit: Fixed it. Just have to drag it a couple of times. It can do it, but doesnt really show until you save the changes.

2

u/Twiggled 9h ago

Yea you just have to get it to the left of chevron while in edit-mode. As soon as you save, it snaps over to where the tabs are.

u/NamedBird 17h ago

NEAT! Can't wait to update at home and look if Happy Eyeballs v3 makes any difference!
(Yes, i am more excited about some internal non-user stuff than AI features, just let me be happy...)

3

u/JustSomebody56 17h ago

What’s that?

16

u/NamedBird 16h ago

Basically: Happy Eyeballs version 3 tries to make websites load faster.

There are multiple ways your browser can connect to a website.
Before, it would just try one way and only use the next one if it doesn't work. This is slow.
With this change, multiple ways of connecting are tried at once and the fastest one wins.
It should make websites load just a bit faster and more reliable.

u/Kinryk 14h ago

Same here! The best little feature Firefox has had in the last five years — automatic cookie banner blocking — is now gone permanently in version 155. So sad 😭

3

u/Dramatic_Mastodon_93 15h ago

How long does it take for the flatpak to get the new version? Also is Nova now enabled by default?

5

u/MozRyanVM Mozilla Employee 15h ago

155 should be available on Flathub already from what I can see. And as of now, Nova is targeting the Fx157 release, though as always, that's subject to change between now and then.

u/Eastern_Ease8791 7h ago

Is the stutter issue fixed? I got them on 154 and the previous update.

1

u/xor50 7h ago

yeah 154 was horrible for performance, it's so bad, so laggy.

I hope it is now or at least will be fixed very soon, because it almost makes me want to switch browsers and I don't really want to do that. but if I must...
rolling back to 153 would be another option but also very annoying.

1

u/Eastern_Ease8791 6h ago

I think it had something to do with the laptop's intel gpu since it's not present on my pc.

u/timnphilly Firefox <3 17h ago edited 16h ago

Always great to see a new Firefox version - thank the devs for their hard work!

REQUEST: Allow us to directly add sites to a container, with the "Manage Site List" when in 'Manage Containers' - rather than just being able to delete a site, which is how it is now.

u/LoveOfProfit 12h ago

I wish my Firefox would stop going unresponsive and blowing out memory after being open for a while. Started on the previous update and I can't figure it out.

2

u/xspicypotatox 7h ago

ctrl+f menu is now a thin bar with no text at the bottom of my screen

3

u/LasVagusNerve 14h ago

When is nova coming out?

2

u/Possible_0 on 11 16h ago edited 15h ago

the number of blocked trackers isn’t showing up in the URL bar even after updating to version 155.0, I haven’t seen any options to enable this either... is anyone else having the same issue?

edit: my bad, just realised that it's a progressive roll out + I had a look in about:config, and you need to enable browser.urlbar.trackerCount.featureGate

2

u/HiyajoMahoo 16h ago edited 3h ago

Glad to see Firefox getting more useful features

2

u/The_Cozy_Burrito 15h ago

Nice update, love the new features

u/foundfootagefan 8h ago

All my new tab page shortcut icons are missing after upgrading to 155 on 2 different machines. Anybody else have this issue?

1

u/KERR_KERR 7h ago

Woohoo! We can finally increase the number of Ctrl+Tab previews and it is glorious!

u/rifraf0715 4h ago

sent in a couple crash reports. today's update is unusable.

u/MozRyanVM Mozilla Employee 4h ago

Can you share a link to some of the recent ones from about:crashes? Thanks in advance!

u/hachimitsu-boy 2h ago

Does smart window even have a dark mode? It's always a bright pink/purple.

u/kala_jadoo 1h ago

listen man, I'm very happy with hese 2 week releases. they're great. But I'd rather the Dev's aren't over worked and burn out. in the long run, it'll only do more harm than good

u/Wall_of_Force 12h ago

for some reason debian ppa repo's l10n packages are stuck at 154.0.1, while main firefox packages are 155. is this expected?

-1

u/Possible_0 on 11 10h ago

they removed the browser frame when you're in full-screen mode (not by pressing F11, just when the window is maximized), I think that's great, since I have a small screen!! the frame around the web page is only visible when the window isn't maximized or has a custom size tho

u/bdu-komrad 17h ago

I can’t wait to read this post to learn what then key updates and bugfixes are…oh wait. it’s just a link? 

4

u/rdg360 15h ago

Do you expect OP to do a full run-down?

-6

u/bdu-komrad 14h ago

Nah. Open the release page. Open AI sidebar. Ask AI to summarize the page. 

Include the summary in the post. 

1

u/rdg360 13h ago

Ah yes, the inevitable AI summaries. No thanks, I prefer to skim through the release notes myself.
