If you're on Elementary OS, use simply-foxy to "fix" the ugly Firefox browser window because it doesn't look suitable with Elementary OS.
Two screenshots attached on this post. It's the comparison between the original Firefox browser and after applying simply-foxy.

$_ is a shortcut to the result of the last expression you executed, allowing you to do some neat step-by-step exploration.
And $0 refers to the currently-inspected element on the page.

I first get all <p> elements, then append exclamation marks to all of them using $_. Then, I add question marks to one specific <p> element using $0.

Latest #firefox #ESR (v149.0) appears to have stopped reporting the HTTP error code when something goes wrong… in this case for a 403. It used to include the HTTP code and some useful words.
In this error, it looks like the connection just didn't work rather than we got an error from the server.

Gesucht: Eine Erweiterung für Firefox, mit der ich mehrere Fenster mit jeweils mehreren Tabs einer Art „Projekt" oder Fenstergruppe zuordnen und die Fenster eines solchen Projekts mit all ihren Tabs jeweils auf einen Schlag schließen und später mit den gleichen Inhalten wieder öffnen kann. Änderungen an den Tabs/Fenstern bestehender Gruppen sollen beim Schließen übernommen werden.
Aktuell verwende ich Simple Tab Groups, da kann ich aber jeder Gruppe nur genau ein Fenster zuordnen. Und wenn ich für 20 Projekte mit im Schnitt 2-5 Fenstern für jedes Fenster eine eigene Gruppe anlegen muss, wird das schnell unübersichtlich …
#LibreOffice 25.8.5.2 rollte aus dicht gefolgt vom #Firefox 149.0 auf meinem Tuxedo Laptop ( #Ubuntu #Linux ).

@retiolus Thanks for this article: https://retiolus.net/posts/how-to-bypass-copy-paste-restrictions-in-firefox/
Such an easy solution if you know what you're looking for!
I installed the "Don't Fuck with Paste" extension, but even that doesn't change the setting that you mention!
I'm surprised the article doesn't say more about how individuals can shelter from surveillance and targeted advertising. Here's my standard package of measures:
- Remove all mobile phone apps you're not using
- On both your computer and your phone, use a more privacy-focused browser than Google #Chrome. I use #Firefox. Don't use anything based on #Chromium.
- In your browser, on all devices, install the following extensions: #uBlockOrigin, #Decentraleyes and either the #EFF's #PrivacyBadger or #Ghostery
- Install PiHole to protect your home network (or cook a nice dinner for a geeky friend who installs it for you)
- On your phone, install either #Blokada or #TrackerControl to prevent apps from phoning home while you're using mobile data and you're not protected by your Pi-Hole.
It's terrible that you have to be this careful and this technically knowledgeable to reduce the harms of targeted advertising. I agree with the article about the legal changes we need to make. But, since that's not going to happen in the foreseeable future, we should also talk about the things people can do to protect themselves right now. And, as technically knowledgeable people, we should offer practical help to our friends and loved ones to protect them directly.
Yes, it's what I've been using for the past few months.
My only negatives with it is the fact that they block the captive portal detection, and you have to turn off some of the more extreme security settings in order to get a lot of websites to work.
Otherwise, they're both very good #Firefox forks.

In Browser-Debatten begegnen einem oft sehr unterschiedliche Perspektiven: Manche priorisieren vor allem maximale Sicherheit, andere konsequenten Datenschutz, wieder andere vor allem die moralische Bewertung des Anbieters. Auf dem Kuketz-Blog geht es bewusst um etwas anderes: Einen nachvollziehbaren Mittelweg aus Datenschutz, Sicherheit und Alltagstauglichkeit. Nicht das eine Extrem, sondern eine ehrliche Abwägung soll am Ende zu sinnvollen Empfehlungen führen. 👇

I think I've found a font rendering bug in #Firefox (and possibly Safari).
On the National Theatre website, Ronkẹ Adékọluẹ́jọ́'s name doesn't embolden characters with diacritical marks.
As far as I can see, the included Web Font contains é (U+00E9) and both ́ (U+0301) & ̣ (U+0323).
But doesn't include ẹ (U+1EB9) or ọ (U+1ECD).
Any thoughts on what's causing this and whether it is worth reporting?

Sadly, the new design^Wabomination from #Mozilla landed to the new release of #IronFox (148.0.1) on the Android
Instead of damn simple and concise main menu, I forced to see a gigantic panel now. Like I don't have fingers — I have a ten sausages instead.
And rounded things, rounded things everywhere! Because this is a redesign in sake of redesign — it is not customizable and I can't switch back to rectangular things in the settings
Luckily, at least for now, I'm still able to revert this shitty designer vomit. Because you know, I'm not so young dragon, so I remember the eons when it was valuable — do not break user habits by constantly changing the UI layout and UI elements (read the fucking Palm Design Guidelines, for example).
The recipe:
1) Go to: IronFox main menu — Settings — About IronFox
2) Tap a lot of times to the big IronFox logo. The text "Debug menu enabled" should appear on the screen for a few seconds
3) Go to: IronFox main menu — Settings — Secret Settings
4) Disable the next items: "Enable Menu Redesign", "Enable Composable Toolbar"
Done! You are free from "new UI", which forcefeeded to users of Firefox (and forks) by Mozilla (again)

A couple weeks ago I was really struggling with anxiety and when I realized my online habits were feeding it, I went looking for support to modify those habits.
I wound up installing an extension called "wisely delayed". It lets you put a nag screen with configurable delay, message, and link in front of a list of sites. I set a 20s delay on couple sites that I identified as being harmful with the message "Check in with yourself. Are you feeling anxious?" and a link to a poetry site instead.
That little nudge towards mindfulness has really helped.
Hey #Firefox friends. Is there any way to improve TTS on #Linux?
Currently it calls the default eSpeak-NG voices which are robotic and quite difficult to listen to.
Is there any way to hook the JS SpeechSynthesisUtterance to something modern like Piper?
I don't want to rely on a web service like Chrome does. I want to use the local voice models on my machine.
Anyone know if that's possible?

This is a follow-up post on the sad state of Mozilla
First, notice the date of the commit identified (as highlighted in a few posts below that toot referenced above).
Secondly, Mozilla has done further changes to their Privacy policy since this initial change. I am not fully convinced about them - since the Privacy FAQ at the same time is not aligned. The reason for my continued mistrust to Mozilla is that they have gradually, over many years, moved in a direction I do find privacy unfriendly. And they have ties/agreements/contracts/partnerships to companies who does not have a good track record on privacy topics. I generally trust people and organisations actions more than their words of what they want to do.
Thirdly, it should be fairly clear to most that AI/LLM is not preserving privacy well when data is sent to a remote server to be processed there. And even running parts of the LLM engines locally does not fully disentangle the privacy aspects fully - data is still being exchanged with a remote server (otherwise there would not need to be "AI service provider URLs" in about:cofig). Mozilla did force AI/LLM unto users, enabled by default with the only way to disable that in the beginning via about:config. And it took several releases before more user friendly approaches to disable it arrived. Due to this delay, I really wonder "does these new knobs really fully disable AI/LLM?". I have that doubt, because of how Mozilla has behaved over many years.
On top of this, the Mozilla leadership is extremely well paid while they have reduced their engineering teams working on Firefox and other products. That is a too strong indication for me to ignore, that profit and leadership compensation seem to be way more important than the core mission of making Internet a better place.
I have little trust in Mozilla for the time being. And I doubt I'm alone, due to the traction this toot thread triggered. Currently, I believe trust can be built up again. But it will take a lot of efforts now to repair what has been broken. For that to improve for me, I will need to see a lot of actions from Mozilla, where they clearly does changes in the whole organisation and communicates them clearly and that the communication is aligned across all aspects - including policy documents, FAQs, source code. Until that happens, I will use some of the Firefox forks. And leadership compensation need to be completely transparent and come down to a level which is not in an astronomic level comparable to large for-profit enterprise companies who generally cares little for anything than their own egoistic wealth.
If a person taking a leadership role in an organisation claiming working for a better Internet and fighting for its users is getting uninteresting unless there is a million dollar yearly compensation when the people doing the grunt work, delivering code resulting in a real product, has a 5th or 10th of that compensation, then I do question the values this person holds. And I will especially highly question the leadership when they need to reduce cost and choses to cut among the engineers doing the grunt work while the leadership not considering their own compensation.
So basically, I find the Mozilla organisation fairly rotten currently. It preaches the nice words but ends up doing something completely different.
Y'know what? I don't think I ever swapped the hard drive on this #FreeBSD #laptop for an #ssd. I think it's still the 13 year old 5,400 RPM drive. Whoops.
Pretty sure that explains why it feels slower than molasses dripping down a freezer wall.
I mean, 16GB of RAM and a quad core i7 is still pretty good for a laptop running nothing but #openbox and #Firefox - though that has become quite the resource hog. 🤔
Firefox's AI Kill Switch is a Trap: How Mozilla Made AI Your Problem
"Mozilla recently released AI controls for Firefox. On the surface, this sounds like a win for user choice in an era of AI-everything.
If we dig deeper, you can start to see that the kill switch isn’t the whole story. This feature acts like an accountability sink…"

New #Firefox 148 ships with unsolicited AI features, to "remove" this feature: about:preferences#ai then "Block AI enhancements", hope it's not reactivated magically on every update 🫤
@dalias #Firefox seems to have taken a turn towards the dark side (#aislop) and it is not clear whether the money supporting them (read as Google) is driving its new direction [into oblivion?]. Projects like #librewolf and #arkenfox are doing good work but the base is souring.
Das Einstellungs Untermenü für AI/KI ist in FF 148 verfügbar🙂
So sieht's in der Default Einstellung aus.
...compared to the fact that they kill all my sessions by a forced fucking restart when I try to act responsibly and update.
That's fucking outrageous!
So, this is “the” AI killswitch in #Firefox 148, I guess? (It’s a single “checkbox” in the UI.)
user_pref("browser.ai.control.default", "blocked");
user_pref("browser.ai.control.linkPreviewKeyPoints", "blocked");
user_pref("browser.ai.control.pdfjsAltText", "blocked");
user_pref("browser.ai.control.sidebarChatbot", "blocked");
user_pref("browser.ai.control.smartTabGroups", "blocked");
user_pref("browser.ai.control.translations", "blocked");
user_pref("browser.translations.enable", false);
user_pref("pdfjs.enableAltText", false);
Dunno if some of these can be omitted.
#Mozilla has lost their ground and is now in a free fall into a sinkhole. I doubt they'll ever get out if this again unless they do a 180-turn within the coming days. Mozilla has lost a lot of trust and credibility over the last couple of years. This accelerates that distrust even more.
https://blog.mozilla.org/en/firefox/update-on-terms-of-use/
It looks promising, until you hit the last paragraph (my highlight)
In order to make Firefox commercially viable, there are a number of places where we collect and share some data with our partners, including our optional ads on New Tab and providing sponsored suggestions in the search bar. We set all of this out in our privacy notice. Whenever we share data with our partners, we put a lot of work into making sure that the data that we share is stripped of potentially identifying information, or shared only in the aggregate, or is put through our privacy preserving technologies (like OHTTP).
In my book, that's indirectly selling data.
Goodbye, #Firefox.
The worst bugs are the ones that remove features because you're left wondering was this intentional? Do they hate users?
For example @firefoxwebdevs 148 changed the PDF viewer and now one can not longer expand or collapse PDF table of contents bookmarks.

A reminder for #Firefox fans! Firefox 148 ships on 24 February (in 1 day).
This newest release brings us the #AI "kill switch" that has been promised. I've been testing it both in the Beta and Nightly releases of Firefox. From what I've seen so far, it does what it says.
However, only time will tell if user preferences are preserved across updates and upgrades. In the past that has not been the case for many people.

Thunderbird next?
Based upon the track record of Mozilla it's just a question of time before the programmers find a way of integrating large language model slop into the beautiful and elegant Thunderbird
Look closely; every time Mozilla is begging for money when you start up Thunderbird after 2 or 3 days of not having used it. It's annoying I haven't looked for a way to turn it off I stopped being annoyed about it after having faced it for sixteen times
This happens cross platform which means it is baked and hard coded into Thunderbird

Up to now, with all LLM things that Mozilla has done, you can just turn them off. I just shrug and turn them off
How is it in this case?
Can you turn this feature off, if so where?
You do realize that because Google literally funds Mozilla, they will keep doing these bad things, opting in users without permission
Maybe you should not use anything that the Mozilla makes anymore, otherwise you will just be annoyed and disappointed Time after Time. The Mozilla team is literally choked by Google, financially choked.
Wishing for their destruction is deeply emotional
These annoyances disappointments & irritations are not good for your health, my internet friend.

@rl_dane #Mozilla #Firefox has been doing this for *years*. Like, for the past several #Debian releases too - and that distro uses the ESR version. It's disappointing to see Firefox enabling this crap by default on both the mainstream and ESR version.
You can turn this off in the settings, however, I wish this setting were opt-in rather than opt-out.
I use #Waterfox on my phone and have no complaints. It's Firefox stripped down and with some privacy settings enabled.
I only use Chrome at work as Firefox is banned and M$ Edge is the only other choice). While I have Chromium installed on the Debian laptop, it's largely for testing purposes.

Weaseling around with idiosyncratic meanings of “opt-in” is like weaseling around with idiosyncratic meanings of “consent,” @firefoxwebdevs (and @mozilla). Don’t do that.

@alextecplayz here's the help page, so you can judge for yourself https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/firefox-ai-controls. We mostly refrain from using "opt-in" because people have different definitions of opt-in, e.g. some have said it's only opt-in if it's in a separate binary.

@joby Don't blame the programmers. I'm sure it's the sales team / executive suite / etc. who insist they do these things.
My own pet peave when I need to use Windows (which I avoid when possible) is that any time Windows brings up something in the browser, it will be in Edge ignoring my stated preference to use Firefox.
There are extensions (for #Firefox at least) that can block those annoying "Log in with Google" popups eg Block Origin.
