Gee thanks #Firefox, I better make sure I get the PIN right within the next {$retriesLeft} attempts.

(Maybe a bug in the FreeBSD port? Will have to verify on another OS.)

Reddit Will License Its Data to Train LLMs, So We Made a Firefox Extension That Lets You Replace Your Comments With Any (Non-Copyrighted) Text https://theluddite.org/#!post/reddit-extension

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!

@claudius
instead of shift-klick you can also middle-click (usually on the scroll-wheel)

@dada C'est bien de voir que ça bouge pas mal.

Même si perso, je préfère garder mes onglets en haut, surtout sur mon laptop actuel car y'a bien plus de place pour les afficher et pour pas perturber l'habitude de certaines personnes aussi 😅

@angedestenebres @dada c'est pour moi plus lisible en haut. Mais le gain de place en barre latérale je comprends.

@mozilla
Da ich über mehrere Geräte den Firefox verwende, nervt es mich jedesmal, dass die Einstellung nicht über Firefox synchronisiert werden!

Bitte einbauen als Option. Danke.

Enable network.dns.preferIPv6 in , especially if you use ECH, as it currently breaks IPv6 preference.

@lucasmz Could you elaborate a little on this? Why should we care about this preference? What's ECH?

@collectifission

IPv6 is the future of the internet, and while most things work on Firefox with it by default, for some reason, enabling ECH, breaks it.

ECH essentially tries to hide, encrypts, what site you're trying to access, where plain TLS would only hide the content. That's done through private DNS.

This has never been an issue with Chromium, but with Firefox, using ECH has broken IPv6 and still does, unless you switch that flag.

Firefox (Version 125.3.0 & 126.0/Android) ist in der aktuellen Version leider nicht datenschutzkonform. Verstöße gegen die und das . 👇

Yess we're getting native tab groups in #Firefox! 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 ?

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.

ist ein datenschutzfreundlicher Firefox-Fork für den Desktop. In der Praxis kommt es immer wieder zu Problemen, da LibreWolf einige Funktionen entfernt oder Einstellungen strikt gesetzt hat. Bei Problemen einfach in diesem Thread nach Hilfe fragen. In den meisten Fällen finden wir gemeinsam eine Lösung. 😉 👇

@kuketzblog Ich hatte ein Problem mit der gespooften Zeitzone. Ein Fahrzeug für Carsharing auf 11:00 gebucht, und erst später gesehen, dass das im System als 13:00 angelegt wurde, zum Glück noch rechtzeitig gesehen.

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.

183231bcb,

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.
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.
