    Can someone explain the Intel h264 decoding thing?

    I’ve had h264 decode on GPU working with VAAPI since forever. This seems to be telling me about a feature I already had years ago?

      As of Firefox version 115, we have introduced a new back-end feature to only allow some extensions monitored by Mozilla to run on specific websites for various reasons, including security concerns.

      hey mozilla, if i wanted to be told how to use my browser i would be using chrome or edge. wtf is this shit??

      if this interferes with my experience im ditching this shit faster than i can blink. vivaldi is proving to be quite good anyway.

    i have a feeling there is something horribly wrong with 115.

    firefox has been lagging and using too much ram. 114 was the best patch in history but now its back to the same old struggling firefox. or worse.

      If you want to find the bug, you can run a mozregression to find what broke it (using 114 as your last known good release and 115 as your bad release).

      Please reach out if you need help with this.

      You can use your profile to test this pretty easily.

    Been enjoying Edge for a year, but always appreciated FF for it being it’s own thing. Worth a shot?

      I use edge at work (nothing else available), Firefox everywhere else.

      It would be nice if more add-ons were supported on mobile, desktop is great.

      I genuinely think the web has become horrible enough where the browser you use does not really matter from the technical perspective.

      It does, however, incredibly important to have more than 1 engine competing, as currently Firefox is the only mainstream browser not built on chromium/google.

      Firefox was great, went to shit for a couple of years, and is now back to being great again. I’ve heard it’s much easier on memory as well.

      It’s one of the few non-chromium browsers left, so you should definitely try it because Google is trying to make their own standards with chromium.

        It’s literally the only non-chromium browser left other than Safari. That’s why it is critically important that Firefox maintain a presence

      I am not seeing any patch submitted to Mozilla by Dashlane on this bug which looks like it is at an investigation phase, is that in a separate bug?
