bitahcold, in Arch PGP not be verified

+Visited the AUR site of Arch about librewolf-bin. Executed commands that pinned user recommended. But there is another error.

Used commands

gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com --search-keys 031F7104E932F7BD7416E7F6D2845E1305D6E801

gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com --search-keys 662E3CDD6FE329002D0CA5BB40339DD82B12EF16

The error for both commands

gpg: error searching keyserver: Connection closed in DNS

gpg: keyserver search failed: Connection closed in DNS

Do I have anything to do with my ISP? Or only local problem?

lemmyreader,

You can go to keyserver.ubuntu.com in your browser and then use the Search key option and then download the public key (pub entry). Then use gpg --import 0000000000111111112222222222222.asc where 0000000000111111112222222222222.asc is the name of the downloaded public key file.

bitahcold,

Oh, thank you. First key didn’t work but the second did. That helped me very much. Thanks for help again, goodbye.

lemmyreader,

You’re welcome.

johny_joe_1975, in Firefox to collect your (anonymized) search data

So, how come firefox become spyware now ?

The data being collected is meant to enhance the appeal of Firefox as an ad platform for customers who might want to buy paid placements in Firefox Suggest. Perhaps they also consider it useful as a trial balloon to test the reaction it gets before heading further in that direction. The reaction it gets will not be good.

Looks like I may finally be trying out Librewolf.

lemmyreader,

Looks like I may finally be trying out Librewolf.

I like the out of the box experience of LibreWolf very much but it will not work well for all websites in my case. Luckily Firefox and LibreWolf can be installed and used at the same time without any issues.

toastal,

Welcome. 😃

THE_STORM_BLADE, in Firefox to collect your (anonymized) search data

Firefox suggest is not worth the data that they’re getting with this change. At least the collection can be disabled!

lemmyreader, in Firefox to collect your (anonymized) search data

I would not mind if LibreWolf would be based on Firefox ESR (Like Tor and Mullvad browser are). The speed of the amount of new features added to Firefox is something I can do without.

HouseWolf,

I might be a bit out of the loop but I assumed the LibreWolf team already removes questionable code when building their fork?

lemmyreader,

Yes. My point was that by using Firefox ESR as base the update cycle would be much slower which I would welcome.

@Fisch@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

But what would be the benefit of that?

lemmyreader,

Firefox ESR is like LTS. It would mean less work for LibreWolf maintainers and less upgrades for the users.

kbal,
@kbal@fedia.io avatar

I find Firefox ESR much more relaxing to use than the version that springs new features and bugs on you randomly throughout the year.

There is no such thing as anonymous telemetry.

@kixik is signing its own death sentence. Unacceptable! 🤬🤬🤬 https://blog.mozilla.org/en/products/firefox/firefox-search-update/

johny_joe_1975,

Firefox need insight on its search ?

@chiefbongo @kixik Hi Chief I switched it off in settings...

kixik,

You might want to set both configs off. Not just one, although one seems off by default, but better make sure both get off in librewolf.cfg…

electricprism,

Those million dollar CEO pay increases aren’t going to increase themselves…

kixik, (edited ) in Firefox to collect your (anonymized) search data

Well this one is not false, :(


<span style="color:#323232;">browser.search.serpEventTelemetry.enabled
</span>

Though this one is:


<span style="color:#323232;">browser.search.serpEventTelemetryCategorization.enabled
</span>

So it seems not quite fully disabled… But telemetry is supposed to be off on librewolf…

telemetry is disabled at build time

but, just in case, that setting has been disabled and will be pushed in the next update

GrappleHat, in Downloading files not working... help
@GrappleHat@lemmy.ml avatar

Do you have any network drives mounted? I’ve had experiences where a program fails to save or download and sometimes hangs if (1) I save to a mounted network drive, (2) I lose the mount for whatever reason, and (3) I try to download or save again and the program presumably attempts to access the last place it wrote to (the lost network mount).

Tixanou,
@Tixanou@lemmy.world avatar

No, I don’t, but I appreciate the help

lemmyreader, (edited ) in Downloading files not working... help

Tested here with LibreWolf installed with Flatpak system wide. Up to date Arch Linux, installed xfce4 and xfce4-goodies packages, logged in to the xfce-session, started LibreWolf from the menu, downloaded something to ~/Downloads. No issues.

Tixanou,
@Tixanou@lemmy.world avatar

So I probably fucked up something on my end

lemmyreader, (edited )

Maybe it is just your LibreWolf profile (in ~/.var/app/io.gitlab.librewolf-community/) that is giving troubles. You can create a new one with :

/var/lib/flatpak/exports/bin/io.gitlab.librewolf-community -P and see how it fares.

Tixanou, (edited )
@Tixanou@lemmy.world avatar

Still happens

lemmyreader, in Downloading files not working... help

Did you install LibreWolf system wide or user ?

Tixanou,
@Tixanou@lemmy.world avatar

System-wide

velox_vulnus, (edited ) in Downloading files not working... help

That is because it isn’t probably able to access a file explorer? Try using Flatseal to allow LibreWolf to access the file explorer.

Tixanou,
@Tixanou@lemmy.world avatar

Didn’t work :(

chiefbongo, (edited )
@chiefbongo@mastodon.social avatar

@Tixanou @velox_vulnus delete the Flatpak and use the PPA @librewolf

mariob,
@mariob@liberdon.com avatar

@chiefbongo @Tixanou @velox_vulnus ppa is for system updates. flatpak is for app updates.

chiefbongo, (edited )
@chiefbongo@mastodon.social avatar

@mariob 🤦 recommend you read the installation docs https://librewolf.net/installation/debian/ @Tixanou @velox_vulnus

Tried it, didn’t work either

lemmyaccount01, (edited ) in LibreWolf no longer protected under EFF's "Cover your Track" and "Am I Unique"?

i get the same font fingerprint all the time ( in browser leaks ) the second one changes. And says I am unique in all websites that look for it. I have everything like letterboxin turned on and the tweaks they suggest in faq/settings and sometimes using a vpn sometimes I don’t. Don’t have any other extension other than ubo ( medium settings ) some extra filters nothing regional . tried turning remote fonts on or off. dnno im just unique. edit today it says nearly-unique that is a step up from unique that I used to get and I did not change anything

Delusion6903, in Dark Reader extension doesn't work

Works for me

lemmyreader, in Dark Reader extension doesn't work

Tested here with LibreWolf Flatpak where I made no changes with about:config. Works fine. Disable a few other extensions and see what gives ?
