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 :firefox: 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.

#A11Y #BlindTech I’m a user of whatifsports.com, specifically its simleague baseball feature. For some unknown reason, the website has stopped working regularly over the past week or so. Combo boxes fail to appear, although I see they are there if I use the JAWS cursor. In some other instances, whole parts of the website don’t present at all. Even more strangely, this behavior happens on both #Chrome and #Firefox but I can still access everything on #Edge just fine. I’m tempted to install #NVDA to see how things perform with it, but I’ve never used it so I suspect there’s a learning curve. I’m just flummoxed as to why the website has started acting like this.

every time I see someone going "I finally ditched #firefox and went with this closed source chromium based alternative instead"

all I can think of is

My pet peeve in @thunderbird: I often want to save attachments, but then also look at them. I’d love to have an accessible way to open the attachment I just saved, like in #Firefox’s download menu or the popup Element offers. Currently, I need to navigate the whole path twice, once in #Thunderbird’s save dialog, and then again in my file manager.

@Tuxi ⁂ Das kann am Browser selbst liegen. #Firefox zumindest halt solch einen "Bug", dass erreichbare Seiten (mit anderem getestet) ploetzlich nicht mehr erreichbar sind. Bitte fragen diejenigen mal, ob sie es mit einem Neustart vom Browser schon probiert haben.

I don't think getting consistency with SVG's filters is going to be a problem. None of the implementations for em and ex are consistent. Percent is broken in a couple too, including Inkscape.

@federicomena Let me know if you want the SVG test file.

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. 😞

If I'm going to be totally honest: implementing anything in #curl is about fourteen times easier and more fun than the thread- and object-spaghetti that is #Firefox code... But don't tell anyone I said this.

After I wrote (most of) the DoH implementation for #Firefox it was not too hard to subsequently add support for DoH in #curl.

  • I've ported UnifiedPush to Firefox, so it can receive background notifications using the service you want, specially useful for PWA (installable web application)
  • ntfy provides a PWA
  • So I can receive ntfy notifications with their PWA through any push service, for instance using Sunup :D

#deltachat Desktop can now run on #Firefox and Safari, entirely avoiding #Electron and Chromium! It's an intended side-effect of the "porting Desktop to #Tauri" effort led by @treefit which aims to provide a non-Electron packaged version of the Desktop. Here is a video and deep dive into what's working on regular browsers now, and what's missing for a full Web version: delta.chat/en/2025-05-22-brows…

Delta Chat: Delta Chat Desktop, but running inside of Firefox 🦊

As part of the project to port Delta Chat Desktop from Electron to Tauri1, we’ll showcase a setup where our Desktop app runs in Firefox and does not depend on Electron or Chromium anymore. This vid...

@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.

Seems it's time. Are there any #chromium or #chrome derivatives which will still support #ublock origin, or do I really need to start migrating to #firefox?

Cool, Fennec is interested in #UnifiedPush support

[1]We will probably have it on Fennec before it gets upstream (if it does 🤞).

That means UnifiedPush will be available for "installable web applications". So we'll have push notifications with some new apps !

@OctaviaConAmore It's not too clear whether donations to the new MZLA entity are earmarked exclusively for #Thunderbird development, or can be harvested by the parent organization to fund other projects.

I'd want to know because recently I've been donating to Thunderbird and I wouldn't like my donations to be redirected to #Firefox, given its current leadership and direction.

As promised, here is an interview with @ryanleesipes from #Thunderbird, on the whole #Mozilla and #Firefox terms of use situation.

We talk about why this had to happen, how Thunderbird will handle their own Terms of Use, what's happening at Mozilla, and what's changing.

So, bottom line. The colors settings in #firefox is deceiving and useless to the modern user. Or is it really useless? I don't think so. If you use it correctly, it allows you to unleash the browser's powerful color contrast features that forces a specified foreground and background color on all web content.
