It's Alright, I GuessJust learned about a browser other than <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#firefox</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/chromium" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#chromium</a> or <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/ladybird" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ladybird</a>.... there's an engine called Servo that is still being developed<a href="https://servo.org" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://servo.org</a>

Neil BrownThis seems sub-optimal, given that NoScript is exactly the kind of thing I'd want to work with Tor Browser :)Edit: re-running Debian's torbrowser-launcher to reinstall Tor Browser has updated it, which solves the problem.<del>There's a workaround, but it is not trivial for less technical users:</del><del>> Firefox Extended Support Release (ESR), Firefox Developer Edition and Nightly versions of Firefox will allow you to override the setting to enforce the extension signing requirement, by changing the preference xpinstall.signatures.required to false in the Firefox Configuration Editor (about:config page).</del><a href="https://mastodon.neilzone.co.uk/tags/Tor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tor</a> <a href="https://mastodon.neilzone.co.uk/tags/TorBrowser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TorBrowser</a> <a href="https://mastodon.neilzone.co.uk/tags/Firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Firefox</a>

sheislaurence<a href="https://social.growyourown.services/@FediFollows" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@FediFollows</a> welcome to the world <a href="https://mastodon.social/@iFixit" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@iFixit</a>! Know you from my <a href="https://mastodon.green/@restartproject" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@restartproject</a> days, and thought of you again yesterday, how timely: do you have any recommendations for adapting older hardware to the requirements of today's internet, namely: supported <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/browsers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#browsers</a>. Got all my <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/addons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#addons</a> disabled yesterday on <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Firefox</a>, as my version of Mac (10.11) is beyond unsupported. Issues with Chrome too.

It's Alright, I GuessI'm switching back to <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Firefox</a> engine diversity is more important than legalese. I mean it's still free software

MarkusIch benutze seit Jahren Tabgruppen[1], ein Google Chrome feature. Turns Out: <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Firefox</a> kann das seit v133 auch, muss aber manuell in den about:config aktiviert werden. Für mich ein Game-Changer!

Author-ized L.J.My only real complaint on switching from Chromium to <a href="https://writeout.ink/tags/Firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Firefox</a> as my primary browser was the wispy little hide-and-seek scrollbar. With the help of this guide from the creator of the <a href="https://writeout.ink/tags/CustomScrollbars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CustomScrollbars</a> extension, though, I got my nice fat scrollbar back! <a href="https://github.com/WesleyBranton/Custom-Scrollbar/wiki/How-to-enable-wide-scrollbars-on-Firefox" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/WesleyBranton/Custom-Scrollbar/wiki/How-to-enable-wide-scrollbars-on-Firefox</a> Here's how I did it:1. Open Advanced Preferences by navigating to "about:config" without the quotes. Click "Accept the risk and continue."2. Search for "widget.gtk.overlay-scrollbars.enabled" without the quotes. Double click this setting to change to "false."3. Search for "widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.style" without the quotes. 0 is the system default scrollbar style, so if a different style is desired double-click to change to a number between 1 and 5. 0 worked on my <a href="https://writeout.ink/tags/ArchLinux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ArchLinux</a> system. For more explanation, see Heading 3 on the linked guide.4. Search for "widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.size.override" without the quotes. Double click and change to a number. 20 works for me.And that's it! I now have a chonky scrollbar that stays in place without needing the Custom Scrollbars extension, but on other systems and configurations one may need to install the extension and play around with settings, including disabling "automatically hide scrollbar" in the preferences of the Custom Scrollbars extension. (These preferences can be reached by navigating to "about:addons" without the quotes, going to Extensions > Custom Scrollbars, and clicking the three-dot menu to the right of the enable/disable toggle button. That one took me a minute to find lol.)

Youssuff QuipsI looked on <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/reddit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#reddit</a> and the general tech press to see if the community had understood what is obvious today – enabling this setting by default allowed <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Mozilla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mozilla</a> to further monetize the new tab page. I found afnan-khan’s sad submission of Mozilla’s privacy notice post. 13 net upvotes, 0 comments.A massively consequential change with regards to data sharing in advertising, and the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Firefox</a> community had nothing to say about it.<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/736o33/improving_the_firefox_privacy_notice/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/736o33/improving_the_firefox_privacy_notice/</a>

Youssuff QuipsIt’s finally making sense. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Mozilla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mozilla</a> reduced granularity into the options for data collection in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Firefox</a>, enabled additional data collection by default, and gave itself the ability to use this new data for advertising purposes. Users would have to opt out of this data collection for it not to be used for advertising purposes (a purpose that Mozilla in this iteration is not forthright about).

Youssuff QuipsTake a look at the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Firefox</a> Preferences UI that Mozilla is telling us to toggle if we don’t want our data being processed for ads. I don’t see anything here says that this setting is about sharing data with advertisers. I have to go to the Privacy Notice to understand that. That doesn’t feel very upfront to me.

Youssuff QuipsEver since this setting has existed, Mozilla contributors and employees have told people to enable it, in order to ensure that Mozilla developers have insight into how people use Firefox, to help make <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Firefox</a> better. While this post will prove my (naive) impression wrong, I had never seen anyone mention that this setting shared data with advertisers.And yet, that is what Mozilla is telling us.<a href="https://techcrunch.com/2025/02/28/mozilla-responds-to-backlash-over-new-terms-saying-its-not-using-peoples-data-for-ai/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://techcrunch.com/2025/02/28/mozilla-responds-to-backlash-over-new-terms-saying-its-not-using-peoples-data-for-ai/</a>

Sandro SantilliHow do I start a <a href="https://floss.social/tags/firefox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#firefox</a> window so it remains isolated from the other firefox windows ? It'd be to use it as if it was a separate application... Or am I better off using a different browser ?
