I don’t think it was there until I enabled firefox sync. I’d like to remove what is inside the red box. Does anyone know how to do that?

    I now use Librewolf, a free to use fork of firefox and doesn’t have these popups. It’s otherwise exactly the same as the stock firefox experience (including extensions), but the Mozilla premium services are now opt in.

      These comments are about as useful as the “switch to Linux” comments.

        It’s not the same thing as recommending switching to Linux from windows because LibreWolf is an extension of the existing Firefox code. I think it’s more akin to downloading an extension or upgrading to windows plus, you don’t lose or have to adapt to anything in the changeover.

          Yeah, that’s fair. I did download it, but it keeps asking me to reloggin every time I turn on the PC, so that’s annoying, but you’re right, it’s pretty much the same thing as Firefox.

            It’s because it defaults to clearing cookies on exit. You can turn that off, or make exceptions for sites you login to regularly and don’t mind keeping cookies for.

        I’m sorry but that’s absurd.

        Switching to LibreWolf after YEAAAARS of Firefox took me less than five minutes. I’ve encountered exactly zero downsides and my experience of the internet immediately improved.

        Nobody changes operating systems of any sort with such little friction.

          It’s not absurd. OP asked for help on something about Firefox, (edit: in the Firefox community), and the top response is for them to switch browsers, which is not an answer to his question.

          I know if I asked a question, and the top answer to my post was “lol use the right browser” I’d be a bit annoyed.

            Well I was a Firefox user since 2005 and I’m really glad people responded with top answers to my questions like the one above. We all deserve better than the status quo.

      AFAIK that would just be hiding them. That means you dont benefit from the minor performance boost you get from turning it off in the configuration.

    I like floorp, you can put the tab bar on the top, side, or even the bottom (I like that as it keeps it close to the taskbar)! Rhe UI is very customisable and I like it :D
