#PocketToots is a new #Firefox extension that syncs your #Mastodon bookmarks to Pocket, AND adds a link in Pocket to the original toot.

Very cool! https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pockettoots/


Wow, so the other day I shared what #Microsoft does when you search to download #Firefox from #Edge* but they go one step further for #Chrome.

(I have zero love for either surveillance capitalist but, my goodness, what absolute asshattery. Having spent more time than I’d like testing in #Windows these past two days, I constantly feel like some malevolent entity is trying to exploit me at every turn. Because one is. This OS is a case study in hostile #design.)

Thank you for sharing it! This #Firefox #Extension is so cool!


From the Firefox 109.0 changelog:

„The native HTML date picker for date and datetime inputs can now be used with a keyboard alone[…]“

Nice! Always great to see native elements being improved.

Here's a very early implementation of #Firefox Sync running in Thunderbird Daily!

The bones are there and the foundation is solid.

Though it may be called something else by the time we launch it in Thunderbird 115 (such as Thunderbird Sync or #Mozilla Sync), it's a feature we're THRILLED about putting in your hands.


I’m not going to use bloody bugzilla, so if anyone from Mozilla sees this, your enterprise flow for adding certificate authorities (CAs) to Firefox on Linux fails on Fedora Silverblue.

Since Fedora Silverblue is seen as the possible future of Fedora/Red Hat, you folks might want to talk to the Fedora folks about it and come up with a solution.

#firefox #extensions #plugin #homepage #javascript #html This is first release of patched extension markdown-viewer for support custom-elements for icon buttons and random wallpapers. You can create own homepage with markdown. Example and patch is here:
https://github.com/raven2cz/markdown-viewer/releases/tag/3.8.1
https://fishlive.org:5005/raven2cz/signpost


To all #blind #ScreenReader users on various platforms who use #Firefox: The project to speed up web page and screen reader interaction, code-named Cache-The-World, is now at a phase where in Nightly 109, it has been enabled for all users. So if you spot anything that is unusual or not working as before, please let the #accessibility team know. Next step is an experiment for 50% roll-out on Windows in the 111 beta.

The page where you can track the progress is here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Accessibility/CacheTheWorld


My blog post describing how we cut #Firefox out-of-memory crashes by more than 70% with one weird trick is out: https://hacks.mozilla.org/2022/11/improving-firefox-stability-with-this-one-weird-trick/

The title is not click-bait, I swear, it *is* one weird trick.


Holy cow, that's the most adorable thing out of @mozilla since the original, non-über-minimalist #firefox logo!

(Give us back our cute foxy! :ablobcatheart: )

P.S., I also miss the quasi-religious text on the original about:Mozilla screen. ^__^

--Mozilla fan since Mozilla M13!

Back to #Firefox I go! Multi-Account Containers are a killer #privacy feature that only Firefox (and maybe derivatives) has access to.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account-containers/

There's some helper add-ons to further silo #Facebook, #Twitter, and #Google. (That said, I use my own containers for Google to split my accounts)

I'm working on a less formal blog post explaining how #Firefox Sync will work in #Thunderbird Supernova (and why it's going to rock).

But in the meantime, here's an overview from our Thunderbird UX discussion group:

The default resolution is too dense on the Pinebook Pro, so I had to:

gsettings set org.gnome.mutter experimental-features "['scale-monitor-framebuffer']"

And then set it to 150% in the display settings.

If you do that and use Firefox, it will appear blurry so edit the firefox.desktop file (/usr/share/applications/org.mozilla.firefox.desktop) and change the exec line to:

Exec=env MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 firefox %u

Mastodon – Simplified Federation by @rugk makes remote follows less cumbersome by automatically entering your Mastodon account details and puts that functionality where it should be: in your browser.

You can get it for Firefox from:

⚠️ Avoid #-based browsers: Websites can detect what addons are installed by fetching their web-accessible resources. Try yourself: https://z0ccc.github.io/extension-fingerprints

This is yet another possible way of # users all across the internet. However, there's a simple solution: Just use #.

Since the IDs of Firefox extensions are unique for every user, it is not possible to know or guess the addresses of their web-accessible resources.


This looks cool: # has released an add-on for # that can do web page # *locally* instead of sending data to the cloud.
