I figure most people who care enough to select a forked browser like Waterfox probably already know about the several fatally-compromised TLS certificates issued by eMudhra, but I haven't seen any update yet to address the issue - is one coming soon?

I would like to keep this option enabled because i'm annoyed by the AI results. However it also removes some of the other useful google features like converting units and currency, and translation, and others.

any way to fix? Or do i have to just disable the setting and have to deal with seeing all the AI results?

Is there a way to set waterfox such that when I click on a Youtube link, it goes to an Invidious instance?

Sometimes when I try to manually delete temporary cache it simply does not do so, as in the "Websites are currently using X MB of disk space" the X amount of cache stays the same. I can't tell if it's only the number that fails to update or if the cache itself doesn't get deleted. This happens even if there is only one window open, so it's not the private browsing causing it. After exiting Waterfox/closing all the windows the temporary cache is gone (I set my browser to clear temporary cache when it closes).

Using Waterfox Version 6.7.6 (64-bit)

Whilst the restoration of icon-only pinned tabs to the sizes of their icons themselves is welcome, this has not resolved the subject issue.

In this image I have two rows of pinned tabs and one unpinned tab. The top row contains four pinned tabs. Three are visible (just about) but the fourth is off-screen. Similarly, the "close tab" icon is off-screen for all unpinned tabs. This remains the case if I maximise the window. Whilst I could, in theory, widen the vertical tab bar, I don't want to.

Further, if I raise the (invisible) separator between unpinned and pinned tabs so that it encroaches (scrunches) into the height required to cleanly display the pinned tabs, they get bigger again, perhaps in a sign of resistance, defiance, or revolt, which is all the rage these days. Please fix.

I should add that I use the "Proton" theme with the "Compact" style.

(I really do hope the manual/automated neofascist-forum-rules do not once again "ban" me for this post. However, nothing surprises me anymore. One might or might not know that deploying threat engenders the opposite effect. Especially in those predisposed to reasonableness.)

Is there a way to disable the persistent vertical tab scrollbar when the tabs are narrowed down to just icons? Is this a browser theme issue? I just updated and it wasn't there before and I didn't make any changes other than applying the update.

It's also not there if I increase the width of the tab area...which makes no sense (to my tiny brain at least) as it's a vertical scrollbar. Happy with a janky way to force them to be invisible. Just want them gone without having to widen the panel.

Example of what I mean:

And thanks to Alex for all the hard work he puts in on such a great project!

Youtube CC option doesn't work in Waterfox for a while now and I can't find a fix for this.

Hello r/waterfox, I've been trying to find the history file (which i already know which one it is) and when i tried to get to the root directory of waterfox (~/.waterfox/) is strangely missing. I'm on debian 13, anybody know how to fix this?

So the most recent Waterfox Update has broken a java-heavy site I regularly use. It prevents me from accessing any of the entries for it I've made, or saving new entries I try to make. The site isn't completely unusable to me, but this is very frustrating, and I've checked with vanilla Firefox and this issue isn't there, so it's got to be something that was changed in this latest update.

I'm mostly concerned with the folder drop-downs from the bookmark bar. With the Normal density, items in the folder menu are too far apart, so I use Compact density. However, the items are then scrunched together and my eyesight and manual dexterity are not what they used to be. In Firefox, the compact spacing is slightly larger and more usable.

Is there a way to adjust the line spacing in drop-downs for Compact density?

(about:config has the browser.uidensity setting, but that just selects the normal/compact/touch mode. Perhaps there is some other CSS or whatnot I can use?)

With this last update, any time clicking a link would open up a new tab or window and load the page, it does so, just never actually starts to load the page until I click into the address bar and hit enter to begin the page load process. Anyone else?

I have waterfox set to delete cookies when I close the browser, but I added chatgpt.com and openai.com to the cookie exceptions. Despite this, waterfox logs me out of ChatGPT every time I reopen it.

How can I keep ChatGPT logged in while still deleting cookies for all other websites? I'm using the latest version of Firefox.

Is there a way to stop having the sidebar popping out when hovering since I am using sidebery?

I can't drag the from the majority of the title bar because of the textbox. I didn't find a way to remove it without hiding the whole address bar.

Am I missing a setting?

I'm using malwarebytes firewall control. When I lower the firewall, Waterfox works. But it never popped up a notification that it was trying to access the internet, and manually adding the exe didn't help. Every other browser, and most programs can work with the firewall. What I'm assuming, is that waterfox is trying to use another service to access the internet, and I can't figure out how to stop that behavior. Lowering the firewall isn't an option, as every time I give my system unlimited access, it manages to reactivate windows defender and the AI crap. Do I just have to use a different browser, or is there an option to fix this?

Edit: LibreWolf is having the same problem, so I'm guessing it's a firefox issue. Is this trying to use svchost? Chome based browsers work fine, but I was hoping to switch away from anything using Chrome or AI.

As of today Waterfox will not open sites that perform security verification. Two examples are https://worldmags.net/ and https://howtogadget.blog/. They just say "just a moment". These sites do open in firefox.

This is also probably why download sites sites like https://fileq.net/ and https://down.mdiaload.com/ will not complete free downloads. They just report "wrong capcha" even though no capcha was asked for.

This is the third time in a row that it updating automatically broke itself in some way.

I updated this morning and when Waterfox restarted, it didn't open the tabs I had open - only the most recently opened one! This is catastrophic because I had tabs open that I didn't want to save to bookmarks (because I'd forget about them) and there were several important ones related to work. I can't remember them all now so I have to browse through the History hoping I'll recognise the forever lost tabs! (restoring recently closed tabs didn't do anything)

I have the flatpak version of firefox installed on Fedora 43 KDE plasma 6 and I can not get the option round the bottom corners of selected tab> apply rounded corners to every tab to work properly. When I choose australius or wave, the selected tab does not show properly. It only shows a square.

it looks like the pictures I have provided above. I've tried doing numerous fixes to get gpu acceleration to fix the problem, but nothing is working. This is a problem with the flatpak verison and it needs to be fixed. I have yet to try to the repository version so I am unsure if the same problem is happening there.

Is it a common issue with waterfox? Most of the times, especially for websites like stackoverflow, cloudflare would keep trying to verify me endlessly
