@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!
@holgerschurig Thanks for that. A PET2001? We're not talking Commodore PET, are we? Wow. I'm a Commodore Basic guy from the 64 days. And yes, very small steps do add up!
@birv2 Yes, Commodore PET2001 with 8 kB of RAM. Long before C64.
Later, after I worked beside school and had some money I was able to buy myself an Apple II. Not the original one, but a compatible one. So than I had 48 kB of RAM :-)
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/
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).
@183231bcb I thought I had a solution for you, because I recently made it work the way I want, but it turns out in my case I just set it to “Save file” and it works consistently, but that’s not what you want. :/ You also might try going into about:config and setting pdfjs.disable to true, but I haven’t checked whether this actually works.
@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?
