    @ligniform "Exceptional content curated by the Firefox family". This really is thought-provoking: I've hardly ever seen a more giant red flag, even more so when contrasting it to the actual content. This is sponsored content and should be clearly declared as such. And the money gained from it should go to the devs, not the c-suite.

    There was a time when was the choice in creating a new browser. It ended after came into the picture.

    I don't know why, I can't find information about it, but if I'll take a guess:

    1. Something changed in Firefox that it's no longer a good choice to fork and create new browsers.
    2. Chromium made it very easy to build a new browser on top of it.

    The only remaining Firefox forks are , , , ( ), , GNU IceCat, and Tor Browser.

    So, what happened, really? Anyone with the knowledge? Was it really as simple as #2 (see above)?

    @youronlyone Pointless to base your browser on an engine that gets worse web compatibility. With Chromium, you get to free-ride off of Google and Microsoft.

    Today is my 12 year anniversary working at Mozilla.

    Long time to be in the one place, but working on some of the most exciting updates at the moment.

    If you are on Nightly and want to test something new, flip browser.urlbar.secondaryActions.featureGate = true to enable, love to hear feedback.

    Yo - adding PDF edit capability is pretty sweet. How did that not make a bigger splash when 124 came out? SO many people end up at sketchy sites or worse trying to save a PDF form or edit a PDF document. This is such a big deal!

    The current version of is 125.0.2 is still stuck at version 124.0.1 & from is at 124.2.
    Not sure, why both of them are not getting any further updates? Have they already given up? Time to switch back to vanilla ?

    @Tejas we are waiting for Mozilla's help to build 125: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1891964

    Giving @librewolf a try. I like the idea of a browser specifically hardened against browser fingerprinting and tracking. Runs all of my existing Firefox plugins with no problems

    @9to5linux Interesting, I am away from my Linux machine right now so I am running 124.02 on my Windows laptop and I don't see that option.

    @9to5linux That is good to know. I still don't agree with putting Google specific url bar code in the browser.

    Please boost for visibility.

    I'm pushing this to @actuallyadhd and @actuallyautistic because of the information processing angle. (More in first comment)

    @filmfreak75 @actuallyautistic @MrBerard @actuallyadhd When I’m working with a multiple monitor setup, the left screen has the dock on the left side vertical, the laptop screen in the middle on a platform has dock on the bottom horizontal, set to auto-hide, and the right screen has the dock on the right side vertical.

    @bhawthorne @actuallyautistic @MrBerard @actuallyadhd there’s been a slow and steady progression building up the last few months so this was inevitable — fortunately the meeting it happened during was with the more reasonable people at work

    I can't visit some websites using with browser on
    (Other browsers work).

    A Reddit post said to enable IPv6 in the Mullvad App, but that did not help.

    For example, the website https://ip.me does not work.

    Seems to be any website that has IPv6 enabled.

    Has anyone any insight on this?

    @frogzone Yes, we can see this post. Can you reach out to frontdesk@torproject.org with a description of the problem, so we can look into the specifics? Thank you!

    Not sure what if anything I am doing wrong, but I wanted to try setting up a personal DNS over HTTPS server ( #DOH ) that was password protected, but I can't make it work.

    DOH without authentication works fine, but once I have the server require a username and password #firefox and chrome won't pass a username to the DOH server.

    I've tried a url like https://username:password@doh.example.com but the browsers just seem to ignore the username.

    Seems like this feature is not supported. :(

    #dns

    doachs OP ,
    @doachs@ipv6.social avatar

    @xdydx I can't remember where I started. I first created a DOH server many years ago using NGINX. However as I was replacing that system recently I wanted to ditch the NGINX part and do it all with ISC BIND, which can do DOH natively now.

    But when I was trying to make things more secure and locked down I found the issues I mentioned.

    doachs OP ,
    @doachs@ipv6.social avatar

    @xdydx I tried using NGINX to for authentication, which works, but I could not get any web browser to actually use it.

    I want to use DOH to my own DNS server on a laptop wherever in the world I may be. That means it needs to be open to the world, but I'd rather not have the world have access to an otherwise internal DNS server.

    If the browser stored the credentials, authenticated DOH would happen without me noticing anything.

    I could obfuscate it a bit, but decided to just give up for now.

    Czy istnieje jakaś wtyczka mogąca na luzie informować mnie na o tym, jak ktoś na YT (z moich subów) opublikował.

    Nie chcę na Firefoxie logować się do Google.

    @antygon@pol.social avatar

    @improbite AFAIK możesz "subskrybować" kanał przez RSS, więc nawet specjalnie wtyczki nie trzeba :-)

    @improbite

    Jak zrobić sobie RSS z dowolnego kanału Youtube?
    Potrzebujesz 2 rzeczy:

    1. ID Kanału - patrz zdjęcie.
    2. Linku: https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=

    Do linku z punktu 2. dodajesz ID kanału i masz już feed RSS który możesz wkleić do swojego czytnika.

    I gotowe :-)

    I still adore this screenshot.

    Also, some interesting @thunderbird trivia: In 2004, internet access wasn't nearly as widespread as it is now, so Mozilla offered to send installation CD-ROMs to users for $5.95.
