Wow, @FirefoxNightly doesn't even have PWA's on mobile any more?!?! They are just links with the full app UI. I've had to switch to chrome on my tablet!

lets you open a new window by shift-clicking a link. That's probably not news to any of you. I use this all the time.

It also lets you open an URL you TYPE in a new window by hitting Shift+Enter :-D That's going into my rotation!

Yess we're getting native tab groups in ! Really the only feature I regularly missed from Chrome; my tabs become a mess on FF whenever I dive into a new rabbit hole.

@distrotube affirme que le navigateur est mort : plus personne ou presque ne l'utilise plus, les navigateurs fondés sur Chrome sont meilleurs et plus rapides, pas efficace sur les smartphones, etc.

Pour utiliser Firefox comme navigateur quotidien sur PC et sur Android, je ne suis pas du tout d'accord. Rien à dire sur la rapidité, plugins à gogo, synchro qui fonctionne bien entre mes ordis... Aucune raison de me plaindre !

Et vous ?

I'm generally happy with #Firefox but it is vexing that audio and video streaming often just randomly stops working. Some MacOS thing?

Tried to open two Figma projects using Firefox. Found it strange that it was taking too long to load. Decided to open Brave and both projects opened instantly.
Am I the only one experiencing this?

Not surprised by the new security vulnerability in Mozilla's PDF.js - patched in latest Firefox. But remind me again why browsers try to render PDFs to begin with?

Displaying PDFs in browsers opens a huge new attack surface. PDFs are complex. Browsers render PDF forms poorly and offer only a limited subset of the many accessibility features provided by dedicated PDF software.

I wish none of the browser makers did this.

Keyboard and touchpad are almost perfect, battery life is super long. Screen is a little dim but hey. For under $100US I'm not complaining. This is exactly why I got it and set it up with linux, etc. Oh, also doing some journaling with and it seems to be syncing to my home computer with . Just about perfect!

Les haters vous pouvez hater autant que vous voulez sur Firefox, mais ça reste quand même le meilleur navigateur web. Et ses outils intégrés sont juste parfait : je viens de modifier un PDF ajout de texte + ajout d'image en 3 minutes chrono dans aucune prise de tête 👌 💯

Pre-warning to my followers: I'm going to leave for good and I'm blogging about the reasons - mostly because reddit management gone crazy (latest: my isn't working any more for reddit) & also because of https://karl-voit.at/2020/10/23/avoid-web-forums/

If you did not already, organize yourself a decent / aggregator and follow good content from there. My blog has also feeds to follow: https://karl-voit.at/how-to-use-this-blog/

I presume you could use Mastodon as a feed aggregator as well: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=mastodon+as+rss+aggregator&ia=web

I just can't seem to settle on a #browser. I've tried Firefox, Chromium, Vivaldi, Floorp, and even Edge. There's always something

@ta1da@mastodon.social avatar

I know there are people who swear by #Firefox and others who have abandoned it for greener pastures, but I actually kinda like it. I just hate that it doesn't make it easy for me to have multiple profile the way, for example, Chromium does. I really can't get past that

question: Do either or have a way to display open tabs in a grid as mini windows?

On desktop that is... on mobile all web browsersdo it automatically! As shown in this screenshots of firefox.

FWIW I'm asking because I've been told this interface is very useful for someone with ADHD to keep on top of their tabalanche.

Fedi, please help me with Firefox and PDFs.

When I click on a link to a PDF, Firefox does one of three things:
a)Display the PDF in-browser, without saving it to a permanent location on my computer.
b)Open a dialogue window asking me where I want to save the PDF.
c)Download and save it in my "Downloads" folder without asking me, and then display it in-browser.

It seems to pick one of these three behaviors at random. I can't discern any pattern.

The thing is, I never ever ever ever ever want it to do (c). If I'm saving a single file on my computer I always want to select the folder manually.

In about:preferences, I scroll down to "Applications," and see I have set PDFs to "always ask." But it doesn't always ask! I've also tried changing the setting to "Open in Firefox", and I get the same result: sometimes it opens in Firefox without saving, sometimes it saves it to my downloads and then opens in Firefox, and sometimes it asks.

What's going on? Why does it switch seemingly at random between these three behaviors regardless of my setting? How do I get it to stop saving things to my Downloads folder without asking?

EDIT: Oh whoops, I forgot to put my system information.

One of the most useful extensions for Firefox (actually LibreWolf) is Sidebery. Finally I can decrease a mess of tabs and make them structured.

There are a lot of features, but most useful are:

  • Rules for automatically moving tabs into "panels" (a grouping mechanism similiar to workspaces).
  • Foldeable tree view.
  • Rules for openning tabs in specific containers (combines well with container proxy and multi-account).
  • Integration with bookmarks.

what i am missing is "move tab to folder" or something. I started today with 202 uncatecorized tabs and don't want to drag them all. Did i miss this?
