I am suprised that @mozilla does not have a direct download of an APK on their site. I would rather not download from a third party site or have to log into a Google Play store to get it.

#Firefox

My conspiracy theory is that when firefox has an update available it turns off memory garbage collection so it slowly becomes unusable over a few days and you are forced to restart it

@oxytocinated ich mache das zur Zeit über den Firefox Browser, das geht recht gut. Mit Unterschrift einfügen und allem. Wollte gern auch so ein Programm haben...

@lambert> shouldn't we all be more forgiving to #Firefox as the last "other option" in a browser monoculture?

Forgiving to an organisation building that browser? Yes. But #MozillaCorp has long ago ceased being that organisation, they are now nakedly user-hostile and wantonly trashing whatever good will #Firefox has.

@bkuhn

@richlv I don't think the definition is relevant here. What is referred to as AI features is listed in the following blog entry and they can be all used or switched off. All power to the users. That's amazing. I'm grateful to #mozilla and the #firefox team for that.

#firefox how do I get it to stop this? I've seen this multiple times and hav been using that menu for several weeks

Hhmm, werfe ich mal einen Blick auf #Wero...

"Zubereitungszeit: 5 Minuten (Aktivierung in Deiner Banking-App)"

Ich habe weder einen Google-Account noch eine Banking-App. Eine Banking-App habe ich nicht, weil meine Bank nicht #F-Droid unterstützt, und weil ich meinem #Android via #FairPhone nicht ausreichend vertraue. Dagegen vertraue ich meinem #GNU/Linux bzw. #Fedora oder #PureOS mit #Firefox.

PayPal kann ich auch im Browser nutzen. Geht das auch mit Wero? Ansonsten ist der Weg da echt noch weit.

@bkuhn certainly an annoying glitch that doesn't align well with the mission and objectives of FLOSS in general. But then, shouldn't we all be more forgiving to #Firefox as the last "other option" in a browser monoculture?

A ver se alguén me dá axudado con isto:

Resulta que cando vou ao dashboard de "Enerxía" en #HomeAssistant desde #Vivaldi as datas están mal:

Por exemplo, se quero ver os datos de hoxe, 8 de febreiro teño que seleccionar o día 7. Se lle dou ao botón de "hoxe", vaime ao día 7.

En #Firefox non me pasa e na aplciación de #Android de HA tampouco.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@jaffathecake/116029727238340452

I was browsing the web, and Firefox, apropos of nothing, said "Do you know why i integrate AI? COS MY AI IS SAFE"

I asked If Firefox made the AI safe themselves, and Firefox laughed and hit me with an AI sidebar.

The privacy tier below was taken from the subreddit r/browsers (it's not the best order at all, it contains some rough mistakes). https://www.reddit.com/r/browsers/comments/18jt12w/

I have tried all of these web browsers over a long period of time. I added green marks to the popular ones with good UI which I personally recommend for any users. An additional white frame means simplicity of usage, and a black frame means relative difficulty of usage (in my opinion).

When I see this, I'm reminded how #Mozilla simply sold us out.

Olympic curling is the only sporting event I've ever watched. My spouse is asleep in the room w/ the TV where she has Peacock set up, so I logged into the account on my laptop to see if it'd work.
#Firefox *enthusiastically* encourages me to install #DRM. Does this actually fit Mozilla Foundation's stated mission to the IRS? https://www-archive.mozilla.org/foundation/documents/mf-irs-501c3-application-attachment.pdf
But, we made Mitchell Baker a multi-millionaire, so…we won?

Wann gibt es endlich einen Meta-Newsticker, der die gewünschten Newsticker filtert? (Aber komfortabel in #Firefox läuft, ohne einen RSS-Reader)

Beispielsweise #Golem und #Heise ohne #KI-Themen.

Oder #SpiegelOnline ohne #USA-Themen.

"We mostly refrain from using "opt-in" because people have different definitions of opt-in"

this will result in "opt-out" by removing Firefox from devices.

@firefoxwebdevs, @firefox shouldn't fixing Firefox's #WebAssembly support for #Flutter be one of your priorities?

https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1788206

TIA all #flutterDev s and #Firefox fans

Based on this data, adoption of classic ECN (ECT0) is low. That said, I am excited for #L4S (ECT1) adoption in the future. #firefox 's #quic stack reflects all of the ECN marks, including ECT1. Thus Firefox is ready for L4S on the receive path already today.
