@distrotube affirme que le navigateur #Firefox 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 !
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.
Taking my new (to me) ThinkPad 450 out for its first stroll. Using it while waiting for the car to be serviced. #linuxmint, #firefox, #emacs, all working like a charm. 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 #orgmode and it seems to be syncing to my home computer with #syncthing. 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 👌 💯
cimer les coco.
Pre-warning to my followers: I'm going to leave #reddit for good and I'm blogging about the reasons - mostly because reddit management gone crazy (latest: my #firefox isn't working any more for reddit) & also because of https://karl-voit.at/2020/10/23/avoid-web-forums/
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
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.
Linux Mint Cinnamon 21.1
Firefox Flatpak (currently 126, but it's been happening the same way for a long time).
@abcdw
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?
@kde@kde Guess what, Firefox does the same thing (a refresh will reset your privacy settings and your default browser, all of which affect Mozilla’s revenue streams) but they’re a tad sneakier/cleverer(?) about it.
(Firefox is not private by default so getting you to reset your settings is how they try to influence you to return to their preferred configuration.)
The scripts in this self-hosting guide will create 9 containers: one TLS-offloading proxy, 6 services which run on various ports, and two supporting ones, which are not publically accessible:" Geeze, all I want is to setup my own #Firefox account server, what is this 9 service containers nonsense? https://github.com/michielbdejong/fxa-self-hosting
After a search in the NetBSD packages for lightweight web browsers, the winners are: vimb, dillo, luakit and netsurf.
Dillo's new release 3.1.0 still hasn't landed, so no HTTPS there. Luakit is very neat, extremely lightweight, minimal, has vim-like bindings and would be perfect if it weren't for the constant white flashing between each pageload when using a custom, darker CSS. NetSurf is also quite neat, with tab support for heavier sessions.
The winner for me is vimb, which although leaving tabs to the window manager, has vim-like bindings, is pretty minimal and does not cause flashing when switching between pages on a custom darker CSS setting.
Honor mention to Arctic Fox, a Pale Moon clone that hits peak nostalgia with the pre-omnibar Firefox look. No theming, not as lightweight, but going strong at 29.5k commits since 2018.
In this one, we have #Firefox adding some data collection (but it's fine, IMO), we have a ton of stuff happening around AI, and it's still an absolute nightmare, we have the Linux Kernel 6.9 (nice), and #France banning #TikTok in one of its territories, which alarmed a bunch of human rights / freedom associations:
The search for a slim, fast and modern browser might have come to an end. Ungoogled-chromium feels just like what I want. Even better than Vivaldi. But the setup process is a bit more nerdy.
