*hüstel* Wer ist nun überrascht, dass die Gier bei Krypto (doofe Wortgebung) sich so ausweitet und gnadenlos vorgeht und die wiefielte Meldung dieser Art ist es?!?? Nun ja, leichtgläubig sind viele Menschen.

"FoxyWallet": Mehr als 40 bösartige Firefox-Add-ons entdeckt
IT-Sicherheitsforscher haben eine groß angelegte Kampagne mit bösartigen Firefox-Add-ons entdeckt. Die räumen Krypto-Wallets leer.

Making Firefox/Mozilla dependent on money from Google was a gigantic misstep. It should never have happened.
Firefox has become an alibi for Google against claims of monopolistic behavior. It is a repeat of how Bill Gates saved Apple except that Firefox seems to be on permanently boxed in by Google.

For anyone else who uses Firefox, and heard about https://blog.mozilla.org/en/firefox/address-bar/ and was wondering why e.g. @bookmarks wasn't working in their address bar, I happened upon the reason in my setup last night.
My profile has:

I remain foxed (pun intended) that Firefox still refuses to connect to an IoT device on my local IPv4 subnet unless that device supports TLS (HTTPS).
And I am further foxed that among the possible reasons for that refusal it does not list the possibility that the local device does not support HTTPS.
Once again I have to revert to another browser to do something that Firefox ought to be able to do (and once was able to do.)

Someone on lemmy mentioned that replacing "Russian XYZ" with "local meth head" makes news headlines much more fun.
I agree. So I installed a firefox extension that does this automatically: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/word-replacer-max/

@… Is there a reference on how Firefox determines if a video codec is hardware accelerated? I just installed Firefox on an old laptop I upgraded to Win11, and about: support shows every codec as accelerated, which is impossible as this is a 2nd gen Intel Core series. Thanks!

I'll test it on Apples.
I use the Orion browser on Apple computers. EFF's attempting to tell advertisers to USE EXPLICIT METHODS to control ads, and our privacy.
The Orion browser has its own "advanced" blockers.
But because it has Firefox extensions, it should "work" in Orion (the free browser by search engine company Kagi). Also, on iPads and iPhones, extensions work in Orion, but not Safari.
Privacy is a Human Right.

Hm, do Firefox and Vivaldi really not accept my system-wide custom CA(s)? On Windows, at least Firefox works fine if you set “security.enterprise_roots.enabled” to true, but on Linux it doesn't seem to make any difference. While in Firefox I can at least import a custom CA, I can't find anything similar in Vivaldi. 🤔

OK, so my @… (Firefox extension) just keeps saying my vault is empty. Even after restarting the browser. If I couldn't see my vault on other devices, I'd be having a panic attack right now.

I'm mad at websites that use code that make Firefox unusable. I'd prefer to use one browser, but at some sites I've found that links don't work as soon as one link have been clicked. All links are unclickable when I go back to an earlier side in the browser. Hi cromium, and thus, hi second set of plug-ins/extensions...

I built a Firefox extension that allows you to append arbitrary arguments/text to each Google query automatically. I will now go through whatever hell is required to get it onto the addon store. It's up on GitHub for the curious. https://github.com/theodric/ArgsGoogleSearches

If I accidentally press Ctrl-Q in Firefox I get a popup that asks me to confirm that I want to close my 5 Firefox windows¹. I don't care so much about the 5 windows but about my hundreds of tabs in them ;-)

Aaand this is why i hate the confabulation of address bar and search bar in modern browser UIs.

Okay. So I've entered the true void and gone over to the dark side. Firefox, with all its faults and failings (at least on the Mozilla part), remains an advocate for FOSS. Testdriving it now. Even experimenting with Mistral, one of their AI offerings. Still have Yokoffing's user.js installed though.
Firefox still deserves our support.

Bummer. Mozilla, makers of Firefox, are shutting down their "Pocket" and "Fakespot" services.

If you are also annoyed by Firefox for some reason now trimming the protocol in the address bar you can fix that behavior by setting "browser.urlbar.trimURLs" in about:config to get URLs you can properly copy and use back.

FreeBSD: icons are broken in Geany, GIMP, HandBrake, PDF Arranger, Remmina, and various other applications.
In addition to the four screenshots here in Mastodon:

I like these new #firefox tab groups. Very useful for grouping default sets of sites you use at different times of the day.

I have published an update to the 'Add Arguments to Google Searches' Firefox extension which permits appending the &udm=14 parameter to the results URL, fully eliminating all AI slop as well as any other hint of machine 'helpfulness' in Google results. The extension will also now install and run on both Firefox and Firefox for Android.

I do not know (yet!) what is going on with this Mac but it's running so incredibly slow it's unbearable. I can't even launch Firefox and opening a browser window shows the pinwheel of death...

Got `acme.sh` installed on all the Proxmox nodes and managed to get the certs issued and installed to the right location without too much hassle. All of the UIs now no longer anger the Firefox gods.

Drove through the Blackwall Tunnel to Greenwich and back to Islington yesterday.
South of the river it's all 30MPH speed limits and everything feels too fast and scary compared to the sedate and pedestrian-friendly 20MPH limits in the north.
Since I last went through it, it seems the Blackwall tunnel has added a toll.
The TFL website for setting up to pay the tolls is absolutely awful. Failed in Librewolf, Failed in Firefox. Failed because VPN. Took me four attempts in three different browsers to get it to take payment card details.
Demands *no* special characters in the password?!? And doesn't even tell you what the specific problem with the password is, just "doesn't meet the rules above"
Uses awful validation questions like "mothers maiden name". Bad enough practice to use them at all, but the "memorable date" question restricts to ddmmyy format so you can't even put in a date from outside this century.
For some reason asks for a PIN and and Password both!? Pointless. Then actually refuses the login form if you supply both!?

Setting up the auto-payment doesn't seem to have covered the charges added to the registration plate yesterday, so had to do the payment-details entering yet again to deal with yesterday's charges.
Email validation message contains the link only in the HTML of the email, not the text version, so viewed in Mutt it has no link.
And this all seems to be separate from the Dartford Crossing charge, which had a less crappy but still pretty crappy signup.
Good god council programmers suck at web-dev.
