Browsers should probably just stop sending user-agent header at all, ideally.

If anyone else was wondering why some websites and the "Alternate Player for Twitch.tv" extension stopped working in the latest Librewolf update, it's because they changed the userAgent string from Firefox to LibreWolf and way too much shitty code is confused by it looking like firefox but then not being firefox.

Not disappeared actually, but it was whittled down so much it might as well have.

Let me show you the site-specific permissions menu that I'm talking about

In an ancient version of Chrome:

Here it is in a modern version of Chrome:

Here it is in Edge:

This is what it looks like in Firefox:

And this is what it looks like in Librewolf:

How do I get the good version back?

I have tried a restart.

Hi, i am on KDE Neon and would like to use Browser Integration with KeePassXC and the guides say i should use a custom browser configuration location similar to the one of firefox. This worked on Kubuntu, when chosing Browser type: Firefox and using the native-messaging-hosts location of Librewolfs.

But this time i dont have one:

:~$ locate native-messaging-hosts
/etc/chromium/native-messaging-hosts
/etc/chromium/native-messaging-hosts
org.kde.plasma.browser_integration.json
/etc/opt/chrome/native-messaging-hosts
/etc/opt/chrome/native-messaging-hosts/rg.kde.plasma.browser_integration.json
/etc/opt/edge/native-messaging-hosts
/etc/opt/edge/native-messaging-hosts/org.kde.plasma.browser_integration.json
/home/klayneon/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts
/home/klayneon/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/org.keepassxc.keepassxc_browser.json
/home/klayneon/.var/app/org.mozilla.firefox/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts
/home/klayneon/.var/app/org.mozilla.firefox/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/org.kde.plasma.browser_integration.json
/usr/lib/mozilla/native-messaging-hosts
/usr/lib/mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/org.kde.plasma.browser_integration.json

There are several Browsers and i was expecting the one for Librewolf, like on the other machine...

edit: i think its because this time i chose that flatpak.

What do i do now?

Thank you!

We don't want to deal with the administration required to properly handle donations. If we don't need funding, we won't risk becoming dependent on it. And also: no donations means no expectations. This means that people working on LibreWolf are free to move on to other projects whenever they want.
