I just spent two hours trying to get #Firefox to use #KDE Dolphin as the default file manager.

I went on a journey from .desktop files and mimeinfo.cache, through DBus, to .service files.

I shook with anger when everything seemed configured correctly, but Firefox would just not launch a file manager at all. Click that "show in folder" button and nothing happens.

I have now found the problem.
The problem was: systemd. :angery:

Why. Is. Systemd. Involved. In. Launching. A file manager. 👀

Oh this sounds like #Firefox will become a real browser for me soon. I wish they were ready already for the #ManifestV3 thing. But I guess it's good to know they're on it.

Summary: Tab Grouping, Vertical Tabs, Profile Management

I hope the dev tools will get better soon too, as I need to replace Chrome as a work browser. For private browsing I already use Safari.

Je n'arrive pas a imprimer une page HTML qui contient une (longue) table dans un document Google Sheet "read only" (sans menu)

Dans Firefox, File > Print as PDF, ça n'imprime que la partie qui est visible dans le navigateur.

Quelqu'un-e a une solution ?

Einen Beitrag zum Thema Browser zu veröffentlichen, ist mindestens genauso anstrengend wie zum Thema Messenger. Inhaltlich setzt man sich kaum mit den Aussagen und Erklärungen auseinander, sondern Stammtischparolen ersetzen dann eine ernsthafte Diskussion. Auf diesem Niveau möchte ich wirklich nicht diskutieren.

Interesting, there's experimental local alt text generation in Firefox Nightly https://hacks.mozilla.org/2024/05/experimenting-with-local-alt-text-generation-in-firefox-nightly/

In short: DistilGPT-2 model in Transformers.js, trained on updated Flickr30k dataset with supervised learning.

The copy used is also interesting: "Alt text (alternative text) helps when people can't see the image or when it doesn't load."

(and ) begins phasing-out Manifest v2.

https://blog.chromium.org/2024/05/manifest-v2-phase-out-begins.html

This means, among other things, that uBlock Origin is about to be disabled in Chrome. Google will choose a different extension to recommend but it can not be as effective as Origin.

Following 's example, may I instead recommend you switch to .

Firefox will continue to support Manifest v2, and consequently uBlock Origin and other extensions that can not be implemented with Manifest v3.

Happy browsing.

Most Web-savvy folks know that Chrome’s lineage can be traced back to Safari (WebKit, etc.), and be traced further back to KDE’s Konquerer (KHTML, etc.).

But did you know that Apple was also considering Mozilla’s Gecko engine as the basis back when planning development of Safari? KHTML was chosen because the codebase was significantly cleaner than the XPCOM bloat in Gecko. (That name still strikes fear in me to this day. :blobfoxscared: ) Interestingly, the Gecko codebase has been since cleaned up significantly.

That means that, if things had gone differently, Gecko could’ve ended up as the browser engine that rules the world today. :blobfoxgoogly:

I want only one thing from #firefox and that's better Linux desktop integration.

I would kill for a Qt6 UI instead of their custom stuff. Unrealistic probably, but one may dream.

blu, to Vivaldi

Around this time, a year ago, I started using @Vivaldi as main browser on my work computer. The tiling tabs and web panels are very convenient for daily tasks. Too bad about the code analysis of websites, which I prefer the way Firefox handles it, but it's legacy of Chromium. Since I work on web design I have to use at least two browsers anyway, so this is a minimal problem.

Nice. Habe endlich einen Regelsatz für uBlock Origin gefunden, der YouTube Shorts zuverlässig entsorgt. Damit kann ich wieder eine Extension aus rauswerfen, die ich bisher dafür genutzt habe.

Is #firefox really the best way to sign a #pdf document on #linux with a touchscreen? I somehow cannot believe that even after trying 5 different programs...

Wygląda na to, że #YouTube spadł z rowerka.

I nie, nie chodzi od blokowanie reklam. Wyłączyłem Firefoxową "ochronę przed śledzeniem" i uBlock Origin.

Po prostu nie działa 🤷‍♂️

On PC it seems only #Chrome and #Firefox offer no frills non bloated #browsers anymore.

Maybe the Duck duck Go browser, but it lacks the things I actually do count as essential (syncing across platforms).

Anyway, all other browsers seem chock full of bloat, cramming the browser full of features I will never use.

Hi folks, I need with a possible infection in on . After accidentally visiting a spammy website I am getting suspicious and short-lived windows with a grey border in the corner of the screen. Their text seems to always starts with (A). The first one was ostensibly about Norton, this one McAfee. Tough to verify any fix since they only appear once in a while; I did get a photo of one:

Please advise me!

Firefox Tip of ze day :

  • Sur mon laptop, je ne parvenais pas à ajouter ZoTop comme moteur de recherche, en usant de la méthode classique de sélection de l'url/click-droit/ajouter à la recherche.
  • J'ai ZoTop en moteur de recherche par défaut sur ma station de travail.
  • J'ai chopé le fichier search.json.mozlz4 de la conf du FF de ma station pour remplacer celui du laptop
  • Ça fonctionne, ZoTop est parmi les moteurs utilisables sur le FF du laptop.

Looking for help from and / or Apple Mac people.

I have before me an old MacBook Pro running 10.13.6. It can't be upgraded because of hardware constraints.

No browser on this device will render the schedule here: https://www.emfcamp.org/schedule/2024

I see JS console errors like "TypeError: Object.groupBy is not a function"

I've tried , , and .

Is it possible a script on that page relies on an OS feature this machine lacks?
