Firefox

For instance, I watch a video on Shout Factory and then pause, close the tab and when I go back to the link it goes back to where I left off.

How in web-extenion to detect whether a website supports dark mode and whether it is in dark mode?...

Version 122.0, first offered to Release channel users on January 23, 2024...

If you don’t know about smart keywords, basically you can set phrases as shortcuts for specific bookmarks. I want a folder with all of my keywords synced, and that folder only. On each profile or account I have have whatever other folders and the placement of the folder with the keywords doesn’t matter as long as they have...

Apparently I wasn’t clear enough in my other post. When I focus on the URL bar on a search page with either CMD L or by clicking it, I want to be able to just copy the phrase “lemmy” instead of having to select the text from www.google.com/search?q=lemmy. If I type search queries with spaces in them, the spaces are...

I often do searches with multiple search engines and extras with the same query but with site:reddit.com added at the end. Being able to press CMD L to focus the URL bar, and then CMD C with all the text selected would make things a lot faster. This was added months ago to Firefox but it looks like it was removed now.

I looked at this bugzilla issue and some other pages and changed the flags in about:config. When I look at this page, which shows P3 vs non-P3 colors, I don’t see a difference, but do in Safari and Chrome....

Firefox allows you set custom search engines (if you enable a flag), as well as smart keywords. I want to write a question for ChatGPT in the URL bar, press enter, see chat.openai.com and the question processed by GPT.

Today, Mozilla announced more than 450 new extensions (software that adds new features or functionality to the browser) to users on Firefox for Android at Mozilla’s AMO Android page. This milestone marks the launch of a new open extension ecosystem on mobile where developers are now free to create and publish extensions and...

By default I use Google and it shows search suggestions, but when I add a custom search engine like https://www.google.com/search?q=, or a completely different one, I don’t get any. I don’t really care where the suggestions are coming from, they could be the same as the one for the default engine.

Another thing I want to do without right clicking and selecting a context menu item, it would be faster. While there’s a hotkey for bookmarking all open tabs, I only want to bookmark the ones selected.

I’m trying to use my keyboard more since doing things with a mouse or trackpad is more time consuming. I’d like something like: pressing Control Shift Alt > to select the tab to the right (along with the current tab), and press it again to select the tab to the right of that, making it three tabs selected. Same thing with...

Edit: MrOtherGuy was very generous and made this addon! BmBGone, github repo....

I’m sure its common knowledge by now that whatever you write in text boxes on customer support chats can be seen by whoever is on the other side, without or before hitting send. Don’t you think that’s a breach of privacy?! I imagine it isn’t too difficult to implement a fix for it: The browser (like Firefox) could choose...

Firefox 120 will launch with 200 new Android extensions this December

I really don’t like the psuedo-native look of the element dropdown menu on macOS, and I thought Firefox was trying to embrace native widgets when they added support for macOS right click context menus a few years ago. That issue was open for 20+ years! This sucks....

As web users, what we say and do online is subject to pervasive surveillance. Although we typically associate online tracking with ad networks and other third-party sites, our online communications travel across commercial telecommunication networks, allowing these privileged entities to siphon the names of the websites we visit...

In August we encouraged developers to start preparing their desktop extensions for Firefox Android open availability on addons.mozilla.org (AMO). The project is progressing well and we’re on track to launch the open mobile ecosystem on AMO in December. We have more infrastructure development and testing to complete in the...

Firefox can now translate web pages without sending the contents to external servers.

I’m trying to switch to Floorp right now from Firefox, where I have both the regular horizontal tabs, and a flat vertical list with the Tree Style Tab extension. I use the later a lot, and while I could keep this setup in Floorp, I like that the vertical tabs can be native instead of using TST. However, it just feels weird to...

Given all the interest this week in Firefox outperforming Google Chrome in SunSpider, I decided to run some fresh Linux desktop web browser benchmarks on my end

Mozilla Firefox has merged Wayland fractional-scale-v1 protocol support for handling fractional scaling with the web browser on the Linux desktop.
