Updated Firefox to 115.0.1 on Lubuntu - the option to disable the Title Bar has disappeared (fedia.io)

I don't know when the option was removed since I hadn't updated Firefox on that machine in some time. Normally it's in the customize menu at the bottom left. I can confirm that the option still exists in 104.0.2 since I also haven't updated Firefox on my main machine (a different Ubuntu-based OS). And unless there's some way in...

If you want to find the bug, you can run a mozregression to find what broke it (using 104 as your last known good release and 115 as your bad release).

You can reuse your profile to test this pretty easily if your issue is more easily reproduced with user data.

Firefox is nuking NextDNS with over 20k queries a day.

I tried giving NextDNS a shot. So far it looks great. My only problem it has 300k query limit for free in a month. I tried investigating the source of problem by looking a bit into about:networking and found out many queries has time to live of 300 seconds. I tried turning nextdns cache boost off and on but it made no...

We recommend not using arkenfox user.js, as it can cause difficult to diagnose issues in Firefox. If you use arkenfox user.js, make sure to read the wiki. If you encounter issues with arkenfox, ask questions on their issues page. They can help you better than most members here, as they are the people developing the repository. Good luck!

Is there a way to create a temporary container that will disappear as soon as I close the tab?

I know there are addons, but would be nice to have something native built in instead of having to trust an addon. Current method without addons that I know of is creating a container then deleting it, but that's not as convenient and pretty cumbersome....

I had used Temporary Containers, but it hasn't been updated since February 8, 2021. Not actively monitored for security by Mozilla either so stopped using it. That addon was a perfect experience though for what I wanted.

Code doesn't rot, so you can use the extension. Is it not fit for purpose? Are you aware of any security issues? What is the scope of impact if there IS an issue?

Why do you think I asked about known security issues? 🙂

Oh that is really sad to hear. 😢

Take Back the Web (pauloroger.dev)

Maybe you are already a Firefox user, we are part of a minority on the web today, and think that this text is not for you. You’re probably right, but I’d like to make a few points here and ask for your help in taking the web back before it’s too late. And if you don’t use Firefox, you’ve been using some version of...

The article should link to https://pauloroger.dev/post/take-back-the-web/ -- if it doesn't, it might be an issue with the client.

Is Firefox a viable alternative now?

Why not try it and see?

I see that the "Take Back the Web" text is linked to the link I mentioned on the UI at https://lemmy.world/post/1116208.

Looking for a plugin/addon/theme/config recommendation for a friend who is migrating from Chrome and prefers the tab UI from there, specifically when there are way too many tabs open. (fedia.io)

Specifically, when you open a reasonable number of tabs in any browser, the tabs look like this. However, as my friend has just imported all of his tabs and bookmarks over from Chrome to Firefox, he has an immense number of tabs open right now; in Chrome, he can see all the tabs at once with its UI. On Firefox, however, it keeps...

For someone like this, it probably makes sense to just throw some more CPU/RAM at it. You have to want to make a change like this to some degree.

Firefox ESR is an older version of Firefox that continues to receive security updates. It is made for conservative enterprise environments that care more about stability (as in: not changing) than features or fixes. It may or may not be more stable (ideally, newer versions would fix stability issues in older ESR versions), and may use more or less memory (regressions in memory usage should be reported).

I have tried it in the sense that I have a copy around for testing in those odd cases where someone is using ESR. I don't recommend it.

Kind of a big update... this is the last version of Firefox for Windows 7 and Windows 8, along with macOS 10.12, 10.13, and 10.14. I know this is forcing family members to finally upgrade their (mac) OS.

More big updates:

  • Hardware video decoding is now enabled for Intel GPUs on Linux.
  • We've refreshed and streamlined the user interface for importing data in from other browsers.
  • The builtin editor now behaves similarly to other browsers with contenteditable and designMode when splitting a node, e.g. typing Enter to split a paragraph, and also when joining two nodes, e.g. typing Backspace at the start of a paragraph to join the paragraph and the previous one.

Pretty sure that last feature is what finally fixes the Reddit Fancy Pants editor in Firefox... exactly when Reddit is destroying itself.

  • IndexedDB is now also supported in private browsing without memory limits thanks to encrypted storage on disk. The temporary keys to decrypt the information are hold in RAM only and all stored information is purged at the normal end of a private browsing session from disk.

This might help WhatsApp web run in private browsing, among other sites.

The most impactful thing is definitely going to be OS compatibility... this is going to be the last version of Firefox for a long time for a lot of people.

Definitely. Check out our switching guide for some tips.

Fedia.io update for June 29 (fedia.io)

I appreciate your continued patience. Today I applied a few additional fixes, including to nginx, which were contributing to the error 500’s. The good news is that the only errors I see in the kbin app logs are related to inbound post federation from lemmy-based instances. I am sure there are many more issues to, but I’m...

Very similar - except yours is more focused on Lemmy users.
