Do you know why Firefox lost the browser wars?

Because they always blamed everyone else — always.

It was always a browser extension’s fault, a hardware fault, or the user’s fault. Meanwhile, Chromium works — that’s it — it works.

You lose, and worst of all, you don’t even own up to it.

#Cromite bendición 🙏
Ya con esto, no necesitas nada más (quizá el #AdBlockPlus integrado, por eso de los scripts, pero redunda un poco ya que uso #DNSOverTLS privado de bonito.cafe)

Que si #firefox tiene extensiones? Sí, pero sólo pocas para la versión movil

I've finally removed #Firefox from my #Android phone, i couldn't cope anymore with this maddening #bug of having every #search result jump back to the previous search, which has been around for years & clearly has been deprioritised. reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/…
So far loving #Vivaldi, it works faster vivaldi.com/blog/vivaldi-on-mo… has #adtracker disabling out of the box, so not missing anything!

Why is #Zoom refusing to screenshare a #Firefox window, but will share any other app's windows? It's been happening for a while now. On #Linux if it matters.

When open-sourcing your code goes wrong...

Everything you use on the internet today is built on the shoulders of OSS - but not every open-source project makes it. Let's take a look at 5 open-source projects that achieved a meteoric rise and then crashed out under the weight of their own success.

Vuelve a estar #Firefox como opción tras la ultima versión y su botón para apagar la IA? Yo me lo estoy planteando


Una raya más al ~tigre~ zorro:
En la mismos página que usé para demostrar los defectos visuales de #Firefox, nevesito mantener presionado un elemento para abrir su menú contextual, simulando el clic derecho en el escritorio
No puedo hacerlo en FF (Chromium y derivados sí)
Ni usando la vista de escritorio

Y así se ve mi cel con #Firefox y la barra de direcciones configurada en la parte inferior...

Yo, por eso, nunca he estado, ni estaré, de acuerdo con la pena de muerte.

Chale, ayer pedían que "durmieran a la zorra" (#Firefox) por no saber hacer UI, lo estaban probando en derivados no oficiales de Android y la barra de direcciones invadía el notch o la zona de botones para navegar en el sistema (en mi teléfono no pasa eso).

La comparación era con #Cromite, un navegador no disponible en Google Play ni en #FDroid (en este último se puede habilitar configurando un repositorio adicional), que según los quejosos de Firefox, es lo mejor de lo mejor en Android, así que procedí a instalarlo para probar, pero... ¿Ahora quién no sabe hacer UI?


OK so apparently #Firefox 147 is the last one I'll have and use. I guess #WaterFox and #PaleMoon will be my next contenders as primary browsers. Any recommendations on what to use on #Android instead? I'm currently using #Fennec which is the Firefox port on #FDroid.





Ya esta entre nosotros #Firefox 148 con los prometidos controles sobre la IA. Os pongo enlace directo a Mozilla donde explican como activar/desactivar la IA y asi evitar los multiples enlaces de webs que o te piden suscripción o estan llenas de publicidad.
Como todo en la información, mejor acudir a la fuente de la misma.

Well, this is forking intolerable.

#Firefox is officially #enshittified.

It turned on the horrid "sponsored shortcuts" and "sponsored stories" without me asking.

Those stories are the last dadgum thing I ever want to see. I don't want more news about USFASH.

Smeg #Mozilla. I hope Google bumps them off the money-nipple and they crash and burn.

I'm going to try #WaterFox and #LibreWolf again.

#enshittification #e14n





Si, te entiendo.

Es firefox configurado a tope o, directamente, un fork de esos.

Por aqui he leido muy bien sobre Waterfox. Y la interfaz me gusta mucho, aunque no lo uso.

That method doesn't allow me to choose non-white human emojis. For that I use the Awesome Emoji #Firefox add-on.

There are more "Console Helpers" in #firefox:

$_ is a shortcut to the result of the last expression you executed, allowing you to do some neat step-by-step exploration.

And $0 refers to the currently-inspected element on the page.

Here's a thread of cool things I found exploring the #Firefox Developer Tools!

First, a really convenient thing: You can "pop out" the Toolbox into a separate window!

To do this, open the Toolbox (using F12), click on the ellipsis menu on the right, and select "Separate Window".

I like this much better than the default "docked" modes, especially when using a scrolling window manager like #niri!

#webdev #devtools



Firefox keeps resetting my default search engine (startpage) back to duckduckgo.

This is typical US-corporate behaviour. Just sneakily adjusting your personal stuff behind your back, to their favor, with a smile.

If only there were a non-american browser in this world. (that says something!!)

Argh!

Más vivaldi, menos pavarotti. He decidido darle una oportunidad a Vivaldi como alternativa a Firefox. Por ahora seguiré usando Librewolf como navegador principal, pero si me gusta Vivaldi, podría reemplazarlo en el futuro.

Adelante estudios.

#Vivaldi #Firefox #Librewolf



#Firefox führt ab Version 148 eine neue Einstellung ein, mit der Nutzer alle aktuellen und zukünftigen generativen #AI-Funktionen im Browser blockieren können.

Alternativ lassen sich einzelne Features wie #Übersetzungen, KI-Tab-Gruppierung oder die Sidebar mit #Chatbots gezielt steuern. #Mozilla setzt damit auf Wahlfreiheit und Transparenz – und reagiert auf die zunehmende Kritik an KI-Integrationen im Alltag.

Like, look at this shit lol. It's always the browser/electron shit that's hoggggging my memory on #Linux like #Firefox and #VSCode. Idk how these shitty apps could survive just fine on #macOS. Anyway, as shitty as memory management can be on Linux, if even that, this is still kind of an improvement where it freezes for a bit and then terminates the apps hogging the memory - not pretty, disruptive maybe and can make u lose shit u need, but works. Previously, on Linux, shit would just freeze indefinitely and you'd need a painful, hard reboot to fix it.


You may have heard that #mozilla introduced an #AI kill switch into #Firefox.

If you would rather use a browser that is less interested in #LLM technologies, @Waterfox has been your companion for over a decade.

I had a chance to ask the founder and developer some questions about Waterfox's history, operations, and their take on AI.

Enjoy and and share!

Michal, are there Firefox extensions that are compatible with LibreWolf?
For example, I use the tab management app OneTab, and would like to be able to continue using it -- or an alternative -- should I switch to LibreWolf.
I hope you'll be able to tell me that most addons created for Firefox also work in Librewolf, and I'll be off to the races.

Bevor gleich wieder einige wie Heuschrecken über die Firefox-Macher herfallen: Hier haben sie alles richtig gemacht. Die KI Funktionen können vollständig deaktiviert werden. Andere suchen die Funktion und können sie im Firefox nutzen. Der Rest ist einfach nur das typische Aufregerspiel.

#firefox :firefox:


AI Controls (formerly 'kill switch') are landing in today's Firefox Nightly, and will land with Firefox 148 later this month.
