    Thats weird, lemmy shouldn’t need any access to fingerprinting stuff. Its probably something else. What part of lemmy specifically does not work?

    privacy.resistFingerprinting.block_mozAddonManager suggests it could be due an addon/extension (the flag enables extensions to work on ‘restricted’ pages such the new tab)

    This is something people suggesting librewolf as an alternative to firefox don’t get right, that librewolf is not just any fork of firefox, but a very hardened fork, with many options for privacy and security enabled at the cost of increased site breakage.

      It hangs, doesn’t load at all or crashes. It’s different each time. I don’t mind hanging a bit, but not loading and crashing is kind of a pain.

        This is very weird, are using the default lemmy interface? I dont think the default lemmy interface has anything special so not sure why it would be acting like this.

        You could use firefox only for apps that do not work well with librefox. Or try an alternative lemmy frontend like photon or voyager or tesseract or old lemmy (I forgot what the project is called).

          Thanks for your help. FYI, tesseract breaks too. I was wondering if it was cloudflare or something? I’ll just stick with firefox ig.
