I donate to the Mozilla foundation, and I love Firefox a ton. But I can’t seem to like the UI by installing a theme, and when I change it to look better the browser slows to a crawl. Does it really matter all that much if I use Chromium?

P.S. To the people from my last post regarding something similar, Firefox was too slow, I’m sorry, but I use Vivaldi instead of Brave because Brendon Eich can suck my dick.

    FF is totally broken for me when I try to use anything Google or Cloudflare related for some reason. With cloudflare, I’m in a human verification loop and with Google I get the message “This browser or app may not be secure”, in a regular window or private window. This is Ubuntu 22.04. Works fine in chrome. Only browser plug-in I use is KeePassXC, and disabling it doesn’t resolve the issue. Disabling pfblocker-ng at my router also did not solve the issue.

      Anecdotal, and I am a Windows idiot, but I’ve never had a problem like this with Firefox in my life. People always talk about how slow it is and how half the internet doesn’t work on it but I’ve personally never had a single problem. It’s just worked perfectly out of the box since the very beginning.

      Makes me wonder what the difference is.

        Repo. I had to abandon the default snap install because it was sandboxed, and I need the KPXC plugin to be able to communicate with KPXC for login autofill.

        And for reference, this is FF119.

          Weird. I only asked because I’ve ran across posts of that happening to the snap and flatpak versions but haven’t seen anything about repo versions.

            Yeah, it’s super annoying as I don’t use Chrome for anything anymore and this just recently started happening, maybe within the last 2-3 months.
