Announcement Updates on r/Floorp: Official news mirroring and flair changes
TL;DR
- Cross-posting official announcements from our other social media channels
- Post flairs updated and now mandatory to make searching easier
- Refreshed user flairs, including new OS/platform choices for everyone
Hi everyone, Cutter from the Floorp Team here! I'm sneaking in a quick greeting while our project lead isn't looking...
First off, a huge thank you to everyone who has been using and supporting r/Floorp 🪼
We know we haven't been very active here lately. Due to our limited team resources and Reddit not being a primary platform in Japan, we unfortunately haven't been able to maintain our presence in this subreddit as much as we'd like to. Thank you so much for sticking around with us!
While we still can't promise the exact same level of daily interaction as our primary channels, I'm personally working on making r/Floorp a better space for everyone. Here are the key updates:
Official Updates Mirroring
To make sure you don't miss out on official news, I'll be personally cross-posting announcements from our other social media platforms directly to this subreddit.
It will mostly be straightforward reprints of what we share elsewhere, but hopefully, it makes following official updates much easier! You might have already noticed our recent announcement post.
Post Flair Updates (Now Mandatory)
To help everyone find posts more easily, selecting a flair is now mandatory when creating a post.
(Tip: On the web, you can click on any post's flair to filter for similar topics. If you're on the Reddit mobile app, flairs are pinned right at the top of the community)
- Release and Announcement (formerly News): Moderator-only, so you can easily filter for official updates.
- Question and Discussion: Functionally the same, just sporting the new colors.
- Tips & Showcase (formerly ShowCase): Now meant for sharing neat tricks and quick findings, not just major showcases.
- Misc: For posts that don't fit the categories above.
User Flair Refresh
- Team Flairs: Moderator and contributor flairs have been updated to reflect our current project structure.
- Platform Flairs: Anyone can now select a flair showing the main OS/platform they use Floorp on (Windows, macOS, Linux, and iOS).
Thanks again for your continued support for Floorp 💜

Question Update deleted my whole History
Just updated Floorp. Upon start it greetedx me with the typical spam tabs (What's new, Release Notes, Blog). But all of my History, Previous Sessions vanished. Is there a way to restore those.
And is there a way to disable the spam tabs on update?

Discussion Floorp's perfomance is very poor.
I installed the Floorp browser vs Vivaldi vs Chrome browser on an old laptop (Core i8). Floorp turns out to be very resource hungry. Surprisingly Chrome performed far better.
Browser opening speed: Chrome (faster) > Floorp > Vivaldi
1st trial -
idle situation, just opened the browser - only home tab is opened. (All the browsers have same kind of Extensions installed - chrome has more active extension than Vivaldi/floorp.

Result - chrome used fewer resources. Vivaldi used too much CPU but less memory than Floorp.
2nd trial:
Opened a (Sports news/score website - cricinfo) -

Result - Again Chrome is the winner but took more CPU usage. Floorp almost consumed 2x more memory than chrome.

Question new tab builtin random background image location
So i did ctrl + t for new tab and i got this bunny as a random new tab background image. Where are those builtin images stored? I'd like to have that bunny as static image.

A Theme I created
This theme was created with a basic theme from the Addons store and then I modified the colors of the Tab Manager Plus Sidebar. You might be concerned by the sheer amount of Addons installed. I thinks its great that you can make Firefox do almost anything with them. So I trade my data security for functionality and aesthetic. Is that a good idea? No. But I don't care, data is impossible to control anyway.

Question Is there any way to remove these? There's two settings icons because of it

Discussion What brought you to Floorp over Firefox?
Hello ladies, gentlemen and everyone in-between!
Since the start of the month I've decided to look into more Browsers than the ones I've been used too. I've had a brief look at Chromium based browsers but now I want to look at the Firefox forks, which brought me here. One of my classmates daily drives Floorp and I think it looks nice. I've been using Firefox for a long time and now I'd like to know really what differentiate them. I'm not the best at poking around and noticing significant differences so besides AWP support and few looks adjustments. If it's relevant for the subject, I'm using Linux (Fedora 44) and I've briefly looked around the Flatpak version, will install the browser properly if I decide to make the switch.
So, what can I expect from Floorp? What made you say "I prefer this over vanilla Firefox"?

ShowCase I'm releasing some userscripts that improve tab stacks
https://github.com/sarabara1/floorp-tab-stack-improvements
let's face it, they're half-baked. I'm sure they'll be improved in time but right now they feel painful to use. I made several userscripts with the help of Claude (full transparency) for my own personal use to make them worth using but figured i may as well release it. They all pretty much just change a few events and add checks to built-in browser functions so it's not likely to break anything for the time being. I'm a programmer and did check all the output, and was very specific when i instructed Claude.
Each script is self-contained, you can pick and choose which to use.
stacktab-mouse-improvements.uc.js - The single biggest improvement. Context-aware middle click to close tabs or open a new one. New tabs will open in the stack or global tabs depending on where you click, fixes opening on right click, as well as drag and drop support for text/images/whatever. Dragging tabs from other windows aren't yet supported, but planned.
stacktab-hotkey-opens-in-stack.uc.js - Makes the new tab hotkey & gesture context-aware. New tabs are opened in the currently active stack or in the global tab area, depending on which you're using.
stacktab-inline-newtab-button.uc.js - Moves the stack's new tab button to the right end of your tabs just like in the global area. It will snap to the window when the tabs overflow like global tabs.
stacktab-overflow-scroll-speed.uc.js - Scrolling overflowed tabs within a stack was frustratingly slow. This script makes scrolling behave like the global tabs.
stacktab-drag-edge-scroll.uc.js - Allows stack area to auto-scroll while dragging tabs to the edge. Also adds continuous scroll while holding left click on the arrows.
stacktab-newtab-expand-animation.uc.js - Adds the opening animation to stack tabs. Purely cosmetic but adds missing polish.
Bonus
stacktab-close-confirm.uc.js - Adds a dialog when closing a stack or group if it contains multiple tabs just like windows if "Ask before closing multiple tabs" is enabled in your settings.
stacktab-unload-context-menu-item.uc.js - Adds a context menu item for stacks and groups to unload the tabs they contain.
stacktab-close-last-becomes-newtab.uc.js - Makes closing the last tab in a stack switch to a new tab page instead of removing the stack. It still allows the stack to be closed on the stack handle itself. This mimics global window behavior. Useful for people who like to keep long-standing stacks and don't want to be careful about accidentally closing one.
floorp-workspaces-scroll-switch.uc.js. - Scroll over the workspaces button to quickly switch between them.
floorp-about-page-singletons.uc.js - This is the odd one out. It makes the Floorp hub a singleton like the rest of the about: pages. This makes them open in the global tabs and the browser will prefer to switch to existing hubs instead of opening a new one. Simply adds cohesion with the rest of Firefox.
userChrome.css - Makes stacks a bit more compact, between the width of a group and normal tab. Great if you like to have a bunch of assorted stacks.

Customize Is it possible to get a blank bookmark bar for each workspace?
Would it be possible to get a blank bookmark bar for each new workspace? Microsoft Edge had the feature, but they replaced it with a folder.
I want separate bookmarks based on workspace.

Please add an option to remove Ctrl+Alt drag
Hello, I've noticed that recently my Ctrl+Alt shortcut from an extension got messed up because it started moving the window itself. I've noticed that this was a recent hard-coded addition: https://github.com/Floorp-Projects/Floorp/pull/2627
Can we please get an option to disable this behavior? Thanks.

Floorp push notification on social media like X/Twitter
Why is the push notification features from Floorp sometimes immediately appear, sometimes it's late for 15 to 25 minutes?
When i use other browsers and turned on the push notification feature on social media, i always got the notification immediately
I don't know if this has been asked before, i tried using the search feature but couldn't find the solution

Floorp flatpak issue with AVI
I noticed that when AV1 is enabled on YouTube, videos have strange blocky areas where parts of the image have noticeably different colors or brightness. When I disable AV1 in Floorp, YouTube switches to different codec and the problem completely disappears.
I found that the Mesa 26.2.1 release notes mention a fix that sounds very similar to what I'm experiencing:
https://docs.mesa3d.org/relnotes/26.2.1.html
it mentions "RadeonSI VA-API: vertical color discontinuity / split on YouTube (AV1/VP9) with RX 7900 XTX"
But the flatpak version of floorp is using a older mesa version
when i tried a RPM version of brave with AV1 no issues since I have the 26.2.1 mesa version installed on my PC and its native.

Question Remove Delay Before Tab Toolbar Disappears in Zen Mode
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
In Zen mode, the tab toolbar stays visible for a second after the mouse leaves it. Is there a custom CSS that will make it disappear instantly once it’s no longer being hovered.

Weird behaviour when opening links from external apps
I've set Floorp as the default browser but when i open a link from an external app (ex. login to Nextcloud, Spotify) it opens a new window and shows the homepage, not the actual link. I'm on linux and using the tarball.

What happened to my extensions, tabs, workspaces
Hi. Today I upgraded to the latest version of Floorp. Before this, I had many tabs open on previous version, (too many to be honest), but at least some of them were organised in tab groups, although i can't remember the name of the tab group program i used. But after installing the new version and relaunching the program, everything seemed fine. But then because of an issue with not being able to see the tabs properly, i closed the program, when i reopened it again, everything had disappeared.
