Input Handlers

really needs to get their input handling on macOS Sonoma fixed, for both and : the system emoji pickers don't work at all, text replacements don't work either.

Now Firefox just stopped reacting to any mouse clicks, in all tabs, while everything works normally in the system. Frustrating. I really don't want to switch to Vivaldi or Safari, and Apple Mail...

Was this posted from kbin or something? Just wondering why the title is a complete mess

QuazarOmega,

Because they accidentally (?) mentioned @firefox which exists only as a Lemmy community, and, being from Mastodon, the post title comes out as a snippet of the post body, with the links getting destructured into raw markdown text

I really appreciate @firefox adding the ability to enable custom search engines for searching with the address bar. As someone who just types my searches direct to the address bar, not having the option to use my search engine of choice was a problem that's now solved!

mayo,

It is in chrome, but implemented differently. Firefox actually does it better since you can save them as bookmarks

Cwilliams,

I think it’s more intuitive in Chrome, but much more powerful in Firefox. Personally I didn’t know that you could do this in Firefox until today

FaeDrifter,

Edge does nearly all those things now too. Edge and Vivaldi are both closed source and yet another Chromium under the hood.

I’ll pass ty.

BurnedDonutHole,

Ahahaha. Thanks but no thanks. I don’t have a fear of missing out and I don’t see myself using Vivaldi as my default browser in anytime soon.

Good luck with your conversion efforts.

Happened to play with @firefox's screenshotting tool for the first time, and it's pretty amazing, for one reason, and one reason only - HTML element awareness

@Gord1i @firefox

Looks like only Android screenshot such as Power+Volume Down and unfortunately appears that Firefox does not yet support Android's feature to capturing scrolling windows.

I just love how mastodon posts sometimes show up on lemmy communities. ActivityPub magic.

Hilariously the thing that got me to go back to @firefox was Google making adblocking suck on chromium based browsers and trying to force their (repeatedly) spy-ware filled ads (particularly on youtube) to be displayed. Like you spent how many billions trying to make chrome "the thing" and now you are destroying any goodwill.

iopq,

You just install Firefox and get ublock origin on it. There’s no step 3

iopq,

What are you talking about? You just go to the add-on page and click install

Hi Firefox Team, what you would say to make an UI adjustments regarding the https://arc.net/ which becomes very popular :) it could be a great opportunity to get some Windows and Linux users back, since they released Mac only so far. Also it's based on Chromium and it seems it is not an open-source yet. cc @mozilla @firefox @FirefoxNightly

kleinptr,
@kleinptr@mastodon.social avatar

@auf Yes, overall what I wanted to point out, how it's possible that Firefox loses massive user base each quarter. We know, probably it's because they don't hear their users. And this is the main reason of my topic, to say, hey, let's see again there is something new, which doesn't have to be so much hard to do and people like it, and what could help Firefox in some sense ;)

I am unaware of any differences in iOS layout, isn’t Firefox just a skin over Safari there? But doesn’t it have its own UI? It’s be weird if it were to not be reminiscent of other Firefox instances, no?

Hallo! 🐸

I have UK Eng set as my main language on , but it still sees my UK Eng as spelling errors, as based on a US Eng dictionary.

I checked my Firefox browser settings, and UK (GB) is set as the mai, but can't remove US Eng. Is there something that I'm missing?

I generally truly love using @firefox This new feature of intrusively suggesting to translate shit is beyond me though. Just shove off with that crap and ask me to opt IN rather than make me search how to opt out.
That popup is intrusive and I hate firefox for it.

Knusper,

Is that really easier to believe for you than it simply being a useful feature that they want to advertise to users who aren’t techy enough to opt into features like this?

Carighan,
@Carighan@lemmy.world avatar

Or for that language.

I am tempted to start using the @Vivaldi browser but then I looked* at the diversity in the underlying technology and I think it is better to promote and start using @firefox :firefox: more.

Or should we leave it to :omya_google: and :apple_inc: only❓

I'm curious 😅 @Vivaldi why not use SpiderMonkey and Gecko❓

Is it? Vivaldi hides the 5% source code under “performance and security optimisations” reasons, which sounds like complete BS.

Chewy7324,

The term open source includes the right to modify and distribute source code. Only being able to audit code is called source available.

opensource.org/osd/

Yes, Vivaldi is certainly not as closed as Chrome and is privacy respecting while Edge is the opposite. But if we’re strictly talking about open source they aren’t there. If they’d change the license to an open source one I’d probably given it a go a few years ago. Only being source available stopped me.

Having moved from @Vivaldi to @firefox for windows, I've come accross this amazing plug-in that gives me keyboard control over Firefox. https://github.com/gdh1995/vimium-c

QuazarOmega,

Pretty cool!
Btw, weird that Firefox doesn’t have a Mastodon account, only one for Mozilla

@mozilla @thunderbird @firefox @moznews Encryptedclienthello is quickly becoming an essential internet cybersecurity standard now that cloudflare has adopted it for all of their web services and their own websites. Will https://firefox.com, https://thunderbird.net /,https://mozilla.org, https://developer.mozilla.org and https://getpocket.com adopt encrypted clienthello too to protect our browsing habits from VPNs, ISPs and exchange points along with DNSSEC, DNS over HTTPS and TLS 1.3.

Sorry missed the link provided. There is no feed. Alternatively in Inoreader (paid version) for instance (and other sources) you can monitor the page for changes.

C'est fou quand même le manque de compatibilité des navigateurs avec la pseudo classe css :dir()
https://developer.mozilla.org/fr/docs/Web/CSS/:dir

Elle permet d'appliquer une règle de css différente en fonction du sens de lecture du texte et elle est prise en compte depuis 2016 par @firefox

Due to resist-fingerprinting needed to be disabled to use the website appearance setting in @firefox I was searching for an alternative and found Dark Reader (https://github.com/darkreader/darkreader). I remember using it a few years ago and since then it has gotten pretty darn good. If you want to use websites without your eyeballs melting from the bright light, I'd recommend you to try Dark Reader out.

lol,
@lol@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

Also check out Dark Background and Light Text. It lets you customize colors and doesn’t increase load times quite as much as Dark Reader in my experience.

Additionally, if you use a dark system theme and sometimes encounter difficult to read texts (e.g. in form fields), have a look at Text Contrast for Dark Themes.

yads,

Yes, can’t browse without it
