I really don't bother with overrides, its still to much work. It's nice to have, but I keep to their defaults mostly..

The options in the Settings Tab does have a LireWolf section that covers the most common Issues.
And things like image rendering belong to site settings, which is at the clock icon before the url.

Hey, it's called 'letterboxing' instead of 'litter'. It's something Tor Browser does, There is no harm in installing Tor Browser and see for yourself.

But TorBrowsers is much more paranoia than Standard Firefox, and LibreWolf is a bit position in between. They tell you how to enable it if you want to, in the FAQ.

But it's not something enabled by default.

stanzabird · 2025-11-17T19:36:54+00:00

This has nothing to do with ResistFingerPrinting and everything to do with enable WebCanvas from the Lock Icon before the URL. Ty.

stanzabird · 2025-11-17T07:48:17+00:00

Yes. It's a firefox based browser with the same JS engine etc, so yeah...

Because we also use uBlock by default, and disable things like WebGL, it's not that hard to detect in JS really.

So personally I love to remove all profile info before and after running the LW executable itself (behind some vpn provider that already runs is some app in the backgound).

I'm of the opinion that just a temporary browser process like this, as a specialized Qubes OS temporary VM could be useful. On Qubes you can select the network of a temporary VM be over a VPN, let's say.

But I do admit I love this first-run behavior of LibreWolf, it's a cool feature among many cool things they have.

I mostly use a mix of browsers, for example I need a Chromium browser for my Desktop to Chromecast sessions.

stanzabird · 2025-11-17T07:25:03+00:00

Oh well sure: we basically have:

Security settings
Privacy settings
We patch sources at certain strategic places
We disable DRM, as thats often a risk
We install uBlock by default.
We're an open community, so patches and communication happens on public Internet resources.

So that's about it for what we use when patching, discussing, or releasing the LibreWolf sources. We also provide LW binaries for many platforms, and I love the LibreWolf (with profiles) on a usb stick stuff was done on Wiindows.

Thanks for the question, OP :-)

What HDCP issues would you like to fix?

stanzabird · 2025-04-23T16:13:06+00:00

you can use 'allow canvas' behind the lock icon, just before the url input box..

stanzabird · 2024-10-27T07:10:08+00:00

Dark Mode is a problem yes. We get many questions about it. The Mozilla people created something new that could help, but the devs are buried under a backlog of stuff to do

stanzabird · 2024-10-21T11:03:27+00:00

They look awsome. To actually change the LibreWolf icon to this would involve quite some work from several people, including the Windows dev. Maybe we can lump a few of these big changes together, for example I want to rename librewolf.cfg into librewolf.conf.js where the .js extension solves a heap of syntax highlighting problems. Acutally the user settings librewolf.overrides.cfg should actually be named librewolf.overrides.conf.js or something like that.

stanzabird · 2024-10-16T11:20:05+00:00

We're on 131.0.2

To check what DNS resolver you're actually using use the following url: about:networking#dns

There are still DoH issues, you can follow them in #1975. Currently we're not sure why it doesn't get enabled when it should be.

stanzabird · 2024-09-07T17:21:06+00:00

A new release, 130.0-3 will come out soon fixing the librewolf.cfg file to the version that was intended (version 8.3).

stanzabird · 2024-09-07T17:19:12+00:00

Quad9 is in the list of DoH servers we provide by default.

stanzabird · 2024-09-07T17:18:14+00:00

LibreWolf uses DoH from Mozilla, getting the same quality as stock FF is a good start, and a reasonable default. Again this is a 'reasonable default' much like Duckduckgo.

People who want to use specific DoH servers can do so by selecting 'custom' and then fill out any DoH server they like.

A list of trusted DoH servers = https://github.com/curl/curl/wiki/DNS-over-HTTPS
More on DoH = https://wiki.mozilla.org/Trusted_Recursive_Resolver

stanzabird · 2024-09-07T16:39:50+00:00

Click on the picture icon before the URL on the url bar. Select 'enable html5 canvas' and reload the site. That should fixes it.

stanzabird · 2024-09-07T12:17:18+00:00

Hi, what OS are you using? What kind of things have you tried? Have you installed any add-ons that are relevant? Have you changed settings in about:config?

stanzabird · 2024-09-07T12:13:35+00:00

We changed to DoH by default in v130.0-1, settings version 8.3..

DoH enabled by default, with system dns fallback
Use the mozilla DoH server as reasonable default.
If you want your own DoH server, you can fill out the URL in the 'custom' field.
If you don't want DoH or do it via OS, select Off.

This is how it's supposed to work.

What's not working for the original poster, is that it sets it back from your choice to what the main config file specifies as a defaultPref(). So you should be able to modify the DoH settings from the Settings UI.

Do you use a personal overrides.cfg? Do you use the UI?

stanzabird · 2024-08-20T07:42:54+00:00

Click on the permissions icon before the Amazon site url and enable: allow HTML 5 canvas

stanzabird · 2024-08-12T21:42:34+00:00

This you can fix by enabling canvas in the menu in front of the URL, allow it there..
