You know what ““““AI”””” feature I’d actually use in Firefox? A locally-powered text-to-speech feature for the reader mode. Read me this web page in a natural voice, using some of the advances in recent models!
Is that possible to do efficiently in the browser, or are those models too big to be effective? Or would it need to lean on the OS APIs?
#Passkey suppport in #Bitwarden #Firefox extension is broken. I have to use the HW token now. Uncomfortable.
And the provocative errror? Well that's kind of by design, that chrome is not defined in Firefox... 😀
It seems that the bug was reported already in beta stage of the extension and yet it got it to the release. 😬

Steps To Reproduce Go to https://www.passkeys.io/ Open DevTools See Uncaught ReferenceError: chrome is not defined Notice that passkey request cannot be handled by Bitwarden and fallback to Windows...SunsetMkt (GitHub)
Did you know it's now possible to select text on the page loaded in #Firefox, press shift+F10 to inwoke a popup menu and translate selected text into a different language?
I like it as I can easily copy text translated locally instead of using online services for the actual translation work.
Wow. Finally, after 21 years, #Firefox 147 will support the #FreeDesktop XDG basedir specification to store the config/data/etc. in the standard locations in your home directory on #Linux, for fresh installations: bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.…
Unfortunately this only applies to clean installs, existing configs are kept in place and not automatically migrated.

This is TERRIBLE! Mozilla people who used to follow me here... Talk some sense into your coworkers/management!
People don't use Firefox because it's loaded with crap and AI, they use it because it's not corporate owned and not feeding all your browsing data into the data machine. AI is not of any benefit to add to your browser, no matter the hype.

All I want from #Mozilla is for them to improve* the damn bookmarks organizer dialog (the one that shows up with Ctrl+Shift+O) & bookmark popover in #Firefox, but instead I get an opt-in hallucination engine that I'm never going to use

Mozilla announces more AI in Firefox, still failing to understand that at this point their market share is made of tech savvy people who do not want that.
Mozilla, please. Stop chasing the fads. Get your own values.
People use Firefox to get access to an open web, use a sturdy browser, and not to be tracked. Build in that direction and that direction only.
Nobody from your current user base will recommend Firefox with AI to their friends.

Einen #Desktop #PC habe ich mir vor ein paar Jahren zusammengebaut. Vielleicht hatte ich keine glückliche Hand bei der Auswahl von #CPU, #RAM und #Motherboard und das Zusammenspiel ist nicht optimal?
Er läuft sehr gut - bis auf unvermittelte Totalabstürtze ohne Logeinträge, die mir weiterhelfen konnten.
Irgendwann stolperte ich über ein #Gnome AdOn zur leichten Ampassung der CPU Leistung. Nach der Begrenzung der max. Frequenz via Multimedia-Mode lief er stabil.
Unter #ubuntu 24 funktioniert das AdOn nicht mehr und ich habe mir nun ein Script eingerichtet, welches nach dem Start die max. Frequenz begrenzt:
for cpu in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu[0-9]*; do
cpufreq-set -c "${cpu##*/cpu}" -u 4490000
doneInteressanteweise stürtze er nicht bei Operationen ab, bei denen man es erwartet hätte, z.B. der Transkodierung von #Video. Das letzte Mal rauschte er in die Tiefe, als ich lediglich mit #Firefox #GitHub aufgerufen hatte ... was auch immer da die Frequenz nach oben getrieben hat?
Es handlet sich um einen Intel® Core™ i7-9700. Dass ich die 4,7 GHz nicht zur Verfügung habe stört mich übrigens gar nicht. Jedenfalls bemerke ich keine langsamere Arbeitsumgebung durch die Begrenzung ... und Gnome ist offenbar seit den neuen Versionen stark optimiert worden, was die Geschwindigkeit angeht...
Hey @delta! Reading this delta.chat/en/2025-05-22-brows… got me thinking. I live in Firefox but miss Chrome’s one-click “Install PWA as app”. What about a Tauri-based helper + a Firefox extension that wraps a PWA into a desktop app in one step? Hosting stays light: the PWA is cached; relays/self-hosted instances can serve the client. Keeps control with admins. Interested? 👍🏻

God, can someone please finally take #Firefox out of the hands of #Mozilla and their damn "AI" bros?
When they started adding all of this nonsense I went into my about:config to explicitly set "browser.ml.enable" to "false", but apparently even doesn't save you, as the new "features" will just not give a damn. 🫠
#Firefox 144 is out. New things, new shits.

Firefox kann Webseiten mitteilen, dass Sie und Ihre Aktivitäten im Internet nicht verfolgt werden möchten. Erfahren Sie mehr über die Funktion „Do Not Track“.support.mozilla.org
unterstützt nun unter #Windows die Einrichtung einer Website als sogenannte #WebApp (support.mozilla.org/de/kb/web-…). Dafür gibt es rechts in der Adresszeile einen neuen Button: „Tab zur #Taskleiste hinzufügen“. Danach taucht die Website unten in der Taskleiste (und nicht mehr im Browser) auf und wirkt wie ein eigenes Programm. Wer das grundsätzlich nicht möchte, kann diese Funktion auch deaktivieren: about:config aufrufen, dann nach browser.taskbarTabs.enabled suchen und auf false stellen. 💡 Momentan gibts die Web-App-Funktionalität nur unter Windows. #MacOS und #Linux sollen aber folgen.Learn how to turn websites into web apps in Firefox for Windows, customize them, troubleshoot issues, and uninstall them.support.mozilla.org

So today it is Friday the 13th and apparently I should have stayed in my bed.
Just spent way too much time troubleshooting why the curl requests I got from Firefox by using "copy request to cUrl" did not work. Turns out it is a Firefox bug. For unknown reason it adds a caret "^" before each parameter separator in the query string in the curl request, breaking everything. 😞

Mozilla Firefox tests AI-powered Perplexity Search Engine in its address bar for version 139, signalling a potential shift in search partnerships.Deeba Ahmed (Hack Read)
@cire901 and one of the ways to that is not having yet another email client on Apple Store, which helps strengthen their apps' catalogue.
I trully believe the only way @thunderbird, #Firefox, thus Mozilla to thrive, is both strengthening and weakening Apple's ecosystem, and that means not being present there and help to strengthen where it thrives - and it's not that it thrives that much - on Android.
