Seize ownership. You fork, not to make another browser to compete, you fork to say "this is the source of truth now, out of Mozilla's hands". Fork #Firefox, call it NotFirefox (the name doesn't matter) and declare this as the place for volunteers to submit their MRs, all Firefox-based browsers commit to using that repo as their base. Take ownership of the community away from #Mozilla, make them have to do the merging and rebasing work for their AI shitbrowser. #enshitfication #opensource

Firefox 153 has been released! This is the last monthly release before the release schedule speeds up. It enables container tabs for all, QR code link sharing and – at long last – nicely rounded bottom window corners on GTK desktops.

I hope I don't get in trouble for sharing this publicly, but I managed to get my hands on the detailed design docs that everyone is using for their big UI redesigns of late. #Firefox #Mastodon #AndSoManyOthers

I mainly use Mastodon but I am also on #BlueSky to follow & interact with people who are not here. Having said that, I am pissed that due to the #UK government age verification laws I have to prove my ID/age via a 3rd party company to use the site for direct messaging. Thank you but no. I could use a VPN to get around this but I found more elegant solutions on github. Adding the suggested script into UBlock Origin on #Firefox worked a treat. #privacy https://gist.github.com/mary-ext/6e27b24a83838202908808ad528b3318

Mit Firefox 157 verpasst Mozilla dem Browser unter dem Namen Nova ein alle paar Jahre fälliges überarbeitetes Design. Wer daran keinen Gefallen findet, kann es auf die gewohnte Ansicht zurücksetzen.

No, #Firefox, I did not need fucking *rounded corners* on my tabs. What a stupid fucking waste of effort when you could have been making a better browser.

I have 3 apps with support for spellcheck on my new install of Linux with Gnome: Zen (Firefox), Gnome Text Editor and LibreOffice. They have three different amounts of dictionaries I can choose from: 19, 0 and 1. Because of this I have to assume that they all download their own dictionaries. If I add a new word to the dictionary in one app it will not work in any other app. This is annoying! Would love to see work on shared dictionaries across all apps! #firefox #gnome #LibreOffice #linux

Also, Firefox. please! I'm begging you. Even if there's no work on any common dictionaries in Linux, please stop including 18 versions of English in your spellchecker! It's so, so annoying! What even is "English (Israel)"? #mozilla #firefox

@kdkorte@fosstodon.org It's ideal even for 'self-employed' or 'single worker' enterprises. I switched to Linux and FOSS at home while I had an office job using Windows, MS Office, Adobe & Quark. So when my side-hustle became my job I was already familiar with all the software I needed, without spending a single penny. #Linux #LibreOffice #Inkscape #GIMP #Scribus #GnuCash #Firefox #Thunderbird

Hmmm, Librefox on nykinyt viimeisten päivitysten jälkeen aika pahasti. Luin jostain, että tätä firefoxin yksityisyyteen panostavaa versiota ylläpitää joku heebo vapaa-ajallaan. Hieno juttu, mutta kokeilenpa waterfoxia, jos siirtäis selailunsa vaikka sinne. https://linuxcapable.com/install-waterfox-browser-on-ubuntu-linux/ #firefox #waterfox #Librefox
