#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.
Mozilla is testing a new feature in Firefox Nightly, which adds Microsoft Copilot to the sidebar. Cue the pitchforks! ADVERTISEMENT That gecko's up to something. Firefox already has 4 chatbots: Anthropic Claude, […]
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.
#Firefox Progressive Web Apps sind ne praktische Sache.
Allerdings finde ich die #Installation auf #ubuntu etwas unübersichtlich. Deshalb diese Notiz an meiner Pinnwand mit dem #Workflow, der sich für mich bewährt hat. Vielleicht hilft's auch anderen:
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.
My Firefox addon got approved! It ensures i.imgur.com and i.reddit.com actually send you an image when visiting links instead of redirecting to a page with a bunch of proprietary javascript!
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…
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?
@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.

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.
Anyway, since two days ago, #firefox had the same dialog that has persisted in the browser for almost 30 years! What does it do? Nothing much. That is because the web today uses a technology called cascading style sheets. Websites are thoroughly themed through and through (or "skinned" if you prefer). Using a default foreground or background is almost unheard of...
Yesterday I had the satisfaction of tearing out a 30 year old Netscape-era feature from #firefox and introducing something that should be more useful in the modern #web. Hang tight and I will give you a visual history...
Behold Netscape 4 from 1997 looking right back at you:
