Just so I don't have to do a shallow menu dive to turn this on and off. There are still a few websites that seem to require this to be unchecked to work, like the Internet Archive, at least for the purpose of checking out books. I know there are some extensions that will do this, but it might be nice to have it built in to LW just like the option to dis/allow WebGL. Again, just a suggestion! ๐Ÿ™‚

When trying to download the appimage from dl.librewolf.net it takes a long time as mentioned in the title. Speeds are like 6/7KiBps, but usual package manager downloads are fast at 4-5MiBps. Are there other mirrors one can use?

EDITED: Oops, I thought that was a codeberg link turns out it's not. I've edited and replaced codeberg with dl.librewolf.net

I just added a link to to my blog's RSS feed in the blog index page, and Librewolf now has a Reader View button for that page, which seems to let people read RSS entries instead of the normal HTML pages. The reader view also includes read time estimates. The index is about one minute, and an entry i clicked says 2-3. Where does this estimate come from?

In my userChrome.css file, I have the following so I can have a "compact view" of bookmarks, menus, etc.:

:root{ --arrowpanel-menuitem-padding-block: 2px !important;}

The Sidebar still displays bookmarks, history, & synced tabs "compactly", but the items on the hamburger menu and in the folders on my bookmarks toolbar are given "Normal" (spacey) density. Any way I can fix this?

I am trying to connect to a .local website, and LibreWolf says it can't connect to server (one of the worst UX error pages I've seen). Google and DDG are of no help, and I do not want to resort to using another browser for something that should be simple to disable.

I have added my domain to network.dns.localDomains and that did not appear to work. I have "DNS over HTTPS" disabled completely. I do not know what else to try.

Please help.

I can't update LibreWolf on Fedora because the signing key seems to be revoked.

I get this when I run sudo dnf upgrade librewolf:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[2/2] Total                             100% |   0.0   B/s |   0.0   B |  00m00s
Transaction failed: Signature verification failed.
Public key "https://repo.librewolf.net/pubkey.gpg" is already present, not importing.
OpenPGP check for package "librewolf-150.0.3-1.x86_64" (/var/cache/libdnf5/librewolf-d3659b612308432a/packages/librewolf-150.0.3-1-linux-x86_64-rpm.rpm) from repo "librewolf" has failed: Public key is not installed.

Then I tried importing the key manually from https://repo.librewolf.net/pubkey.gpg:

$ sudo rpmkeys --import pubkey.gpg 
warning: Certificate 40339DD82B12EF16:
  Subkey 8A74EAAF89C17944 was revoked: No reason specified

I could disable the signature check, but I'm worried now.

gpg --show-keys pubkey.gpg shows this:

      662E3CDD6FE329002D0CA5BB40339DD82B12EF16

I think I did some updates since April 25th. I don't understand why it doesn't work now.
