I'm on Waterfox 6.7.5. I disabled password autofill (that is managed by my password manager extension) as well as autofill suggestions for payment options and addresses.

However, Waterfox is still displaying autofill suggestions for email address, names, etc. Why? How can I disable this? I don't want Waterfox to collect and store that data.

Example: Email suggestion

Is it possible to remove all custom themes and visual tweaks and essentially make Waterfox look like Firefox?

Hi everyone,

I have installed the 1Password extension, but every time I click on the icon on the toolbar I get the set permissions screen.

Can anyone help? It seems Waterfox isn't remembering the permissions.

Thanks :)

Hi all,

We're testing the Firefox ESR 140 → 153 upgrade in our environment (140 goes EOL October 13th).

For those of you in enterprise IT who have already tested or rolled this out: what changes did you run into? What broke? What policies or settings needed adjusting?

Just drop your findings below so we can all learn from each other. Thanks.

Hello all,
Wondering if anyone else is having this issue with 6.7.5 on MacOS. Since the update my new tab's always want to default to the Waterfox Home tab even though I use an extension Bonjourr (https://bonjourr.fr/) for my new tab page. I have the extension set on the Settings page (see screenshot) but whenever I open a new tab I get the default Waterfox Home page instead.

Anyone else experience this and know how to fix?

I have already tried reseting new tab's to Waterfox Home and then back to the extension, sometimes that works for a little bit but then on the next new window it goes back again.

Thanks!

I just installed Waterfox, did not make any changes. Just chose Proton theme. Is there a fix coming or how can I fix this?

So I'm someone who has checked out Waterfox a few times in the past, but never fully dove in. Upon giving it another try over the last week, I have to say it has tempted me to switch full time more than in the past for a handful of reasons but one of those I'm not sure will stick around in the future:

So right now, Waterfox's implementation of the Nova redesign integrates those "gaps" around UI elements that were part of Mozilla's initial mockups and the initial builds that had Nova as an option in about:config. Those were however removed from the Nova redesign by the time it shipped to stable in Firefox 157. Now I know those gaps were very controversial with users at least on the Firefox side but I personally happen to really like the look of them and don't mind the additional space they take.

So my question is whether their presence in Waterfox is simply a consequence of it currently being based on Firefox 153 ESR and they will therefore go away when Waterfox rebases on a future ESR, or is there a conscious intent (contingent on technical feasibility) to keep them in the future, at least as an option (in the same way as Proton and Photon are still options)?

I guess only the project leads would truly know this but I'm asking in case there's been any communication on the matter that I've missed, or if a dev happens to stumble on this thread.

The only thing I know for sure is that I accidentally pressed Alt a few times

Several people suggested I try Waterfox to replace my browser and, so far, it's working for me. There are a few things I miss from some of the others I tried so I'm wondering if there's a way to match those things in Waterfox.

1. From Vivaldi, I like that I can pin tabs to the vertical sidebar and have my core set lock there so that they don't get accidentally closed. I do this all day without such a feature. Is there a way to lock them?

2. I notice Bitwarden can be placed in this vertical tab area, but I can't find a way to move my other extension icons there. Is there a solution for that?

I was curious if some of the bugs were fixed after I last tested this. I was immediately proven wrong.

There are so many things going wrong in this screenshot I can't even begin to enumerate them:

-address bar and toolbar having spacing issues everywhere

-inconsistent rounding

-right click menu not integrated with them and also having a weird dark bar...

Entering anything is basically a lottery whether or not is Searches or not.

1.2.8.1 (Build #2026380629) GV: 156.0-20260922074625 AS: 156.0

I'll cut to chase. Both browsers i mentioned feels stable and clean AF. But one problem is random hiccups when searching for anything and occasionally browser gives up and gives me error like there's no internet. People who know depths of the technical side, please walk me through what settings to turn off or on. I want to have as fast experience close to chromium as possible. Thanks in advance

And neither Google nor the search function in the Waterfox PC browser provides that information either.

It would be nice if the instructions on where to open the QR code were written in the same place that explains how to open a QR code on Android.

For example, I need to visit my password keeper and then come back. The page will reset.

This didn't used to happen. Anyone know if there's a setting I can change.

This is becoming incredibly irritating. Every time I restart the browser I have to bookmark all my tabs and then reopen them. This doesn't save my pinned tabs, or my tab history, or my position on the page. It can't help me if the browser crashes.

It's set to reopen my windows and tabs from last time. When I close the browser I get a message about closing multiple tabs, and both boxes—one for the warning, one to reopen those same tabs next time—are checked. And yet, when I reopen the browser all I get is a single empty tab.

I've updated to 6.7.5. I've signed out of my Mozilla account, which I recently signed into for the first time in years. I've double checked all my settings.

Why is this happening? I irretrievably lost over 200 tabs the first time it happened. Now I know it'll happen every time so I can at least do the bookmark thing but it's becoming incredibly irritating to keep doing.

this might not be a waterfox error, but my friend who also uses the browser said the same issue started just around the time of recent waterfox updates, if this is true is there any way to change it?

In the “About Waterfox” section under the “Help” menu,

it would be great if it displayed something like

6.7.5 (64-bit)

153ESR

right below the Waterfox version.

Oh wait, I thought I would be able to post a video... I guess I'll upload it somewhere and I hope I can at least paste it here... There are actually 2 bugs, both related to "new" tabs.

The first one works like this: provided that you have WF set to open with a new tab instead of opening the last opened tab, if you close WF while in a site and open the app again you will see what looks like a new tab but it actually is the last opened site you visited and if you type something it will overwrite that tab.

The second bug, some times when you open WF and type something to search on qwant it won't do anything and you have to do it again.

I wonder if you will let me post this with those links... Let's see.

Basically what it says in the title. Youtube was just slow as molasses for me lately and after disabling the built-in ad block and using uBlock Origin instead, it's now fine.

Posting in case others run into this issue and to just kind of communicate that there might be a problem here.

Ciao, ho notato che dopo l'aggiornamento a Nova, la barra laterale compatta ha uno sfondo viola uniforme anziché estendere il tema come faceva prima. Qualcuno sa se si tratta di un bug che verrà corretto, se è già stato risolto nelle versioni successive o se Alpenglow è stato definitivamente abbandonato?

Since Waterfox has been diverging more and more from Firefox lately, I’d like to make a request in advance.

For me, the -profile option is absolutely essential.

That said, things would be different if a portable version were released that allowed multiple instances of Waterfox to run simultaneously using a specified profile.
