✔ Say you search for something and there's a list of smart results.

You have a toggle that enables something like 'strict keyword matching' - which means any result not having those keywords will be dealt with.

👀 Catch: Keep in mind that often search results can be indirectly related to what you looking for without containing those keywords.

Question is, how would you like them dealt with?

@Marcus they work but are far less convenient than a custom channel. eg, my channel "FOSS" includes hashtags #Linux, #FOSS, #Firefox, #FirefoxNightly, #Thunderbird, #Arch, #ArchLinux, & several others. To do it manually just by my saved tag search links requites the tedium of having to do all those searches individually in series, not automatically in parallel as done by the channel.

A lot of people talk shit about #Firefox's performance, but today I needed to convert a 200mb html file (don't ask). I thought no fucking way would Firefox open it, and if it would, my screen reader would die on it. So I tried pandoc. Pandoc completely choked on it and proceeded to OOM. After a measure of despair, I tried Firefox. It opened the file just fine, and converted it to text. Fucking win.

Why is everyone mad at #mozilla I don't understand.

#firefox is about to release one of the best #ai features and I couldn't be more excited: a kill switch.

This is a big deal and marks a change of sentiment. After years of tech scrambling to reinvent itself with user hostile #ai features, Mozilla is offering something different - turn it off.

#firefox #mozilla #AI

#Mozilla choosing to kill embeddable Gecko (make it a #Firefox only engine, essentially) over a decade ago was such a tragic mistake.

Alternative browsers & desktop apps had no choice but to go with WebKit or Blink/Electron.

As a result, Mozilla have nobody to blame but themselves for their minuscule marketshare and nil developer mindshare today.

Last long thread on the #firefox topic. After this I’ll try to move on and head into the holidays with my family. Also dialing the snark down a bit, since that doesn't help besides venting frustration. 1/x

Quick PSA : yes, #Mozilla has been disappointing, but so far, they’re the only organization preventing Google to have a full control over web standards. Blink/WebKit-based browsers (Chromium, Vivaldi…) do NOT help at all in that regard.

So please use #Firefox or a #Gecko-based alternative (#ZenBrowser, #LibreWolf…). Ride the nightly release train and report bugs if you can. #Servo is getting ready, but for the next ~5 years, Gecko is our only suitable option.

I'm sure the @Vivaldi folks are sick of hearing this feedback, but I'll say it anyway (sorry): the only thing that holds me back from adopting and enthusiastically recommending Vivaldi is that it's not 100% open source.

With Mozilla chasing the AI dragon, now would be a really great time for Vivaldi to take the plunge and go fully FOSS. I don't know that it gains much, if anything, by being just mostly FOSS.

Možná jste to nevěděli, ale reader mode ve Firefoxu umí číst články. Jakože nahlas. Přečte text jako audio. Ale zní to prehistoricky a čeština je to vtipná. Kdyby zrovna do tohodle vrazili AI a vylepšili to, neuráželo by mně to.

Myslím, že jsou věci, které jsou AI a jsou pro lidi užitečné, ale je otázka, jestli to jsou zrovna ty, které si produkťáci vycucali z prstu, a jestli jich je tolik, kolik se nám snaží aktuální trh naznačit.

Mozilla just named Anthony Enzor-DeMeo as their new CEO. He says:

“Firefox will grow from a browser into a broader ecosystem of trusted software. Firefox will remain our anchor. It will evolve into a modern AI browser and support a portfolio of new and trusted software additions.”

RIP, Firefox.

Mozilla Names New CEO, Firefox To Evolve Into A "Modern AI Browser"

Hey #Mozilla! Since you're hell-bent on shoving AI down the throats of #Firefox users. Maybe you should have reeeaallly doubled down and chosen an AI agent as your new CEO? C'mon I dare you! 😈
#firefox #mozilla

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. 😬

@miki I guess native selection is now possible with #nvdasr and #firefox. This is just a guess on my part as I'm on linux with orca and firefox most of the time.

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.

Ah the silent majority. I must have missed this survey of what #firefox users actually want? AFAICT they seem dead set against it, can't remember a single 'I am a firefox user and love the new AI stuff' toot. The number of firefox users has dwindled massively over the past few years, almost negligible now. I used to use firefox because they were very user focused, that and the alternative was IE lol. 🦊
#firefox

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.

I've read that #Firefox users want "just to use a sturdy browser". I don't know, maybe something is wrong with me, but whenever I tried using Firefox (I don't like its #Accessibility anyway — it's accessible, don't get me wrong, but it's just… other way), it crashed far, far more often than Chrome and Edge together.
#Accessibility #firefox

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
done
Schrittweise habe ich die Frequenz von ca. 4,3 GHZ nach jedem Neustart erhöht, und habe so die Stufe herausbekommen, bis der er ohne Absturtz läuft.

Interessanteweise 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 :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.
