Sad to report that I have had to go back regular #Firefox from #Mercury. Unfortunately Mercury has a #bug that causes increased CPU usage on at at least 2 cores, with degrading performance over time. There are also #build issues currently blocking both Mercury and #MercuryAlloy from building successfully. I'll keep checking back to see if that gets resolved. But for now, back to #MozillaFirefox.
Great, the latest #MozillaFirefox update for 123.0.1 on #openSUSE Tumbleweed just ... disabled all my add-ons because they're (supposedly?) not signed.
Remedy according to the docs?
Uninstall everything and reinstall a signed version! (They're apparently not automatically updated?)
Which, like, totally doesn't destroy the settings.
Dear @mozilla
Please, please, please put the RSS indicator back in Firefox.
People need to know about this technology which empowers users over greedy, controlling corporations.
Update: As many have pointed out, you can use @thunderbird as an RSS feed reader, and there are many #firefox add-ons to restore the RSS indicator (one of which I'm already using). But my point is that Firefox needs to lean into RSS as an answer to all the crap that is the modern web, and help educate users about it
I love using ram disks in #Linux. I've got plenty of ram, and use ssds, so I have the less important, commonly-written stuff in ram disks.
For example, $user thumbnail directory. Don't care if it gets wiped at reboot, and don't want Thunar / Dolphin et al writing thousands of small files to ssd all the time.
Not sure how meaningful it is, but also have #MozillaFirefox profile dir in memory, synced to ssd every 30 min. Less wear and tear on the ssd, and I've seen no downsides.
Li ho scaricati, ma Edge mi impedisce, attraverso un pop-up, di aprire il loro pacchetto di installazione.
Sono entrato su Microsoft Store ed ho scaricato un browser "verificato" per Windows. Sto provando #Orions e #FireFly.
Si los intendo un'àtera borta, est sa sigunda.
Ma questo impedimento, non sarebbe una pratica vietata?
uBlacklist - a browser add-on for Chrome, Firefox, and Safari to block websites and entire domains from search results on Google, Bing, Brave, DuckDuckGo, Ecosia, Qwant, Searx, Startpage.com, and more.
Just discovered a new Firefox trick: Three-finger tapping the New Tab button searches the last (or currently) selected text in the default search engine.
Man, Firefox View has gotten really good! I can now finally view all the tabs on my phone, and the symbolic icon on the button is much less noticeable than their logo, that they used before, and conveys the purpose of it a lot better.
Also, having Recently Closed Tabs in there instead of buried under generations of submenus is so nice!
🇺🇸 The Better /kbin update to version 2.1.1 has already landed in the extension stores!
It adds a toggle switch to enable and disable automatic theme changes to the pop-up. Apart from that, the Polish translation in the options has been improved, the file structure has been gently changed, and (FINALLY!) a bug has been fixed, which caused Better /kbin options to open every time the extension was updated (and in some browsers - even every time it was launched). This problem had been present since early versions of the extension, but the source of the problem could not be found - finally, it worked!
If you miss something in the extension or have some interesting ideas about it - reply to this post :) https://www.mstankiewi.cz/projects/other/betterkbin
🇵🇱 Aktualizacja Better /kbin do wersji 2.1.1 już wylądowała w sklepach z rozszerzeniami!
Dodaje ona przełącznik włączający i wyłączający automatyczną zmianę motywu do pop-up'u. Poza tym poprawiono tłumaczenie na język polski w opcjach, delikatnie zmieniono strukturę plików, a także (W KOŃCU!) usunięto błąd, przez który przy każdej aktualizacji rozszerzenia (a w niektórych przeglądarkach - nawet przy każdym jej uruchomieniu) otwierały się opcje Better /kbin. Problem ten występował już od wczesnych wersji rozszerzenia, ale nie można było znaleźć jego źródła - w końcu się udało!
Jeżeli czegoś Wam brakuje w rozszerzeniu albo macie jakieś ciekawe pomysły odnośnie do niego - piszcie :) https://www.mstankiewi.cz/projects/other/betterkbin
User hostile design such as impossibly thin, auto hiding scrollbars is common in Big Tech products. But what's insane is open source projects blindly following along.
This post shares some tips for reclaiming scrollbars and making them work better:

🇺🇸 I'm wondering what other interesting features could be added to the Better /kbin and SVMS New Tab & Search Provider extensions... But after all, I'm making these extensions for you! So, I thought I'd ask you - what do you need? What to add? What to change? Or maybe something needs improvement? Let me know!
🇵🇱 Zastanawiam się jakie jeszcze ciekawe funkcje można dodać do rozszerzeń Better /kbin oraz SVMS New Tab & Search Provider…
Jednak przecież robię te rozszerzenia dla Was! Więc uznałem, że zapytam Was - czego potrzebujecie? Co dodać? Co zmienić? A może trzeba coś poprawić? Dajcie znać!
