Retiring the Mozilla Location Service
The accuracy of Mozilla Location Service (MLS) has steadily declined. With no plans to restart the stumbler program or increase investments to MLS we have made the decision to retire the service.Mozilla Discourse
After being kneecapped by a #patents troll years ago, #Mozilla Location Services, the only somewhat trusted (non-Google/Apple) "Wi-Fi positioning system" (geolocation based on triangulating collected #WiFi SSIDs), is now shutting down: https://github.com/mozilla/ichnaea/issues/2065
MLS was how #GeoClue could get a meters-accurate location without a #GPS receiver / sky line-of-sight.
It was used by many #GNOME / #KDE apps to get instantaneous neighborhood-level location (for maps, local weather…) on #Linux laptops.

One thing the article omits is the fantastic accessibility in Firefox Developer Edition.
Perhaps these tools aren't well known — they're in the web inspector. It’s a great way to test your site.

Nazrál čas dát Firefoxu druhou šanci
Sepsal jsem důvody, proč si myslím, že by měl Firefox dostal zase šanci. Ať už od těch, kteří ho v minulosti opustili, nebo od těch, kteří ho nikdy ani nezkusili.

Mozilla says Apple’s new browser rules are ‘as painful as possible’ for Firefox
Mozilla has responded to Apple’s App Store changes in the EU, which will finally allow other browsers, like Firefox, to run on their own engines.Emma Roth (The Verge)

Es ist ja durchaus nett, dass der Umzug mit #Mozilla #Thunderbird auf einen neuen #PC möglich ist und so.
Aber mal im Ernst: Warum muss das immer noch mit sowas sein wie "Drücken Sie unter Optionen auf Extras, suchen sie die Datei 'prefs.js', welche Sie auf ein externes Laufwerk kopieren etc."?
Wir haben 2024, so langsam müsste es doch einfach sowas wie eine Schaltfläche "Programm für Export vorbereiten" und eine Schaltfläche "Alle Daten vom alten Profil importieren" geben und gut is'.
Mastodon #psa: there's a post going around about #mozilla #firefox and the salary of the Mozilla Corporation CEO. This post is based on a blog post written by an openly transphobic fascist, Brian Lunduke, who has a beef with Mozilla for them treating trans employees like human beings.
It doesn't matter how true the material is; we must not take decisions based on information collated with such motives.
edit: post now changed to not link there. an improvement.

Mozilla: "In a well-intentioned yet dangerous move to fight online fraud, France is on the verge of forcing browsers to create a dystopian technical capability. It would force browser providers to create the means to mandatorily block websites present on a government provided list. Such a move will overturn decades of established content moderation norms and provide a playbook for authoritarian governments"

Vote on the ones you believe in, and discuss them too.
#Mozilla has done some great things with #Firefox over the years, but Total Cookie Protection (essentially isolated cookie jars) is one of the most robust and privacy-conscious ways of handling cookies that I've seen in any browser today. It's a natural evolution of the "container tab" concept that prevents third parties from easily tracking you across the web.
