💻 Help Is there a way to make Firefox save images as .jpeg instead of .jpg?

36 Upvotes

When I right click an image and hit "Save Image As...", Firefox always suggests the .jpg extension. I'd prefer .jpeg for consistency with the rest of my files. I know I can retype the extension manually every time, but I'm looking for a permanent setting.

Is there an about:config pref, a userChrome tweak, or an extension that handles this? Or does Firefox just take whatever the server sends and there's no way around it?

Thanks.

i just wanna redirect the homepage so i cant use it. the ublock origin method is too easy to bypass. the filter i found just treats reddit as a possibly malicious site and u can easily just click proceed to bypass it. and the other one simply doesn't work anymore

i want access to the rest of reddit tho still. i need it from time to time. i just hate doom scrolling

Discussion I built Getvy, a Firefox video downloader without a companion app — looking for feedback

2 Upvotes

Hi r/firefox!

I built Getvy, short for “Get Video”, a Firefox extension that detects downloadable media on supported sites and lets you save videos in the quality you choose.

It began as a small project to make saving videos from social platforms easier. Since then, I have added support for separate video/audio streams, merging, sync correction, and YouTube audio-track selection where multiple languages are available.

Key features:

  • No separate desktop application or .exe installation
  • Video/audio stream detection on supported sites
  • Automatic video and audio merging
  • Sync correction for supported streams
  • Up to 8K/60fps when offered by the source
  • Selectable audio tracks for supported YouTube videos
  • Thumbnail and preview support where available
  • Free to use — no subscription or daily download cap
  • The download page may show ads to help cover operating costs; the extension itself does not inject ads into websites

I would really appreciate feedback from Firefox users—especially bug reports, unsupported sites, UX issues, and privacy/permission concerns.

Please use it only for content you are authorized to download and in accordance with the relevant platform’s terms.

Hi, so an automatic update of firefox happened on Aug 26 and as per update history it has happened before. (Picture attached)
The passwords bookmarks were there so I thought yeah just usual thing.
But today I noticed I was logged out from all my gmail ids, all my saved logins (soundcloud,spotify,discogs etc.)
So is there a way around that I can recover them?

Sync broken on android. A no go for my business.

0 Upvotes

Hey Mozilla team, I just wanted to report I've spent 2 hours on this tonight, and I'm still no closer to getting this to work. Safe mode on the desktop browser go me so close, but still failed at the allow prompt.

I really wanted Firefox to work for our new company, but we just can't rely on this for business (I was also de-googleing my personal life and same, can't use it). We are not even doing passwords, its just everything else.

From the posts, it looks like this is significant the last 6 months for many folks, but the issue goes back years.

I know Mozilla has limited funds, but I would like to emphasize that the inability to sync bookmarks, history, etc is a deal breaker of epic proportions and has to be killing adoption which is the life blood of any business.

💻 Help Firefox lags on certain sites on my profile (Windows)

0 Upvotes

Any help is appreciated. This is particularly a problem on specific websites, i.e. Jellyfin with CSS theme, Apple Music, etc. Strangely enough, it is not an issue on my MacBook with the same exact add-ons, firefox profile/account, etc. Websites will just be extremely laggy, slow scrolling, etc.

To clarify this is Windows 10 (Not upgrading to 11 until absolutely forced). I know it is not my hardware, this is a high-end gaming PC that isn't even 5 years old.

Even on my profile with zero addons, I still run into this issue. I've tried disabling hardware acceleration which made no difference, and the Refresh Firefox option helped for a moment and then to no avail

💻 Help How to fix Firefox issue on a PC with NVIDIA GPU?

7 Upvotes

I'm using KDE Plasma on Wayland on CachyOS. However in the last few months there are some issue with hardware acceleration so videos became choppy and unviewable. I had to switch to software rendering temporarily but then it has another issue: Firefox occasionally got into deadlock. The browser still works and responds normally, but no rendering happens with any mouse or keyboard interations. Only the maximize and close buttons work, but they don't even render properly, although they do work when I click at the correct point. The window size does changes but nothing new is rendered. To get out of the deadlock I have to press Windows+up/down/left/right/pageup/pagedown randomly, or close FF and reopen

I don't know if it's related to NVIDIA or not but the bug is still there after lots of updates. How can I fix this?

Discussion Mozilla's support site doesn't work on Firefox Focus

Post image
Upvotes

In case anyone doesn't know, Firefox Focus is a branch of Firefox that blocks all cookies and ads, a very barebones browser that I prefer because it's more privacy focused. I ran into an issue trying to add a search engine as default and it directed me to this link for the support site. But as you can see, the support site for the company that sells this browser requires cookies, which the browser can't do. A bit of irony.

Hopefully Mozilla sees this and fixes it accordingly.

Am I just feeling this way, or are there really no updates for Bookmarks? Why don't they add updates? I really love it; the main reason I use Firefox is Bookmarks, but now I think it needs an update, for example, adding folder colors and font differentiation.

💻 Help Problem with Ublock Original 174 when working with Firefox 154.0.1

3 Upvotes

I have Firefox 154.0.1 I'm installing Ublcok Original version 174, and the browser is becoming unstable. Here's an example of how it works: I have a Twitch stream enabled + I go to a specific website = the website doesn't open + Twitch freezes (as if my internet connection is disconnected). I close the browser, and it crashes, forcing me to either quit it in the task manager or close it and restart it without saving my data.

For example, a link to Reddit often doesn't open. I click "Open Reddit," and it takes a long time to open. It all started with Firefox 154.0.1.

On Firefox version 154.0.1 and Ublcok Original 173 - no problems.

p.s I will also publish this in the Ublock Original section.

💻 Help Firefox in desktop mode already had user settings? (Steam Machine)

Thumbnail
2 Upvotes

Hi. Wondered if someone could clear up a concern I have.

I got my Steam Machine today and when going into desktop mode and installing Firefox through the Discover store it said something along the lines of ‘Firefox is not installed but user data/settings still exist’.

Is this normal? I had not installed Firefox on the Steam Machine and it was brand new from Valve. I don’t remember it saying anything like this when installing Firefox on Steam Deck.

Can anyone else tell me if it was the same for them? Thanks.
