What's New for Mozilla Firefox Release 143.0
Explore and discover the latest changes for Mozilla Firefox release version 143.0 covering changes for end users, enterprise and developers.

I currently use Firefox across my various Mac and iOS devices. I also use #Firefox in a Windows machine.
If I want to switch to #safari what is the best way to keep bookmarks in sync?
If I export Firefox bookmarks, then import on #ios will any existing bookmarks be duplicated? (I suspect so).
What are your favorite bookmark syncing tools?
Remember when #Firefox used to come with an integrated video calling service called Firefox Hello? 
Now they’re offering their users #Amazon giftcards in exchange for taking a survey over #Zoom. 
So you run non-free software in order to connect to an unethical service so you can go shopping at an unethical company. To be fair though, they also promote the alternative option of sending you money directly via an unethical payment processor. What can I say? Thanks for improving Firefox.

Google plan to limit ad-blockers kicks off next week.
If only there were a way we could fire Chrome so we could out-fox Google's plan 🤔
Thoughts on the new Mozilla statement regarding #firefox #PPA
I don't care how strong you think the privacy properties of a new feature are (and there are legitimate arguments to be had disputing those technical claims) - enabling an experiment like that by default is incredibly disrespectful to users, and doubling down is the act that comes across as outright hostile.
Im Juli sorgten zwei #SSH CVEs für Aufsehen. #SUSE Manager 5.0 und Leap Micro 6.0 sind erschienen und #CentOS 7 wurde eingestellt. Weitere Backup-Provider wollen #Proxmox unterstützen. #Firefox 128 verärgert mit PPA, das openSUSE-Projekt diskutiert lebhaft ein Rebranding. Canonical will Docker-Container zukünftig bis zu 12 Jahre unterstützen, während #FreeBSD den Supportzyklus verkürzt.
關閉 Firefox 的廣告蒐集功能 – Gea-Suan Lin's BLOG

Estou testando o Zen Browser, ele é baseado no #Firefox e tem a proposta de ser mais enxuto, privado e seguro.
E a melhor parte é que é CC-BY-SA-4.0 license, ainda é um projeto iniciante mas já oferece um experiência interessante.
Das features que eu gostei:
Split views (dá para ver 2 sites lado a lado)
Custom mods para interface (dá para customizar tudo, botões etc)
Compatibilidade com Addons fo Forefox (é o Firefox por baixo dele)
Tabs na lateral
Sidebar para apps mais usados (tipo a do Opera/Vivaldi)
E é bem mais leve.
> The keepalive initialization option to the global fetch() method and the Request() constructor are now supported, along with the Request.keepalive property. keepalive can be set to true to prevent the browser from aborting the associated request if the page that initiated it is unloaded before the request is complete. This might be used, for example, to send analytics at the end of a session, even if the user navigates away from or closes the page.

Ðats a very bad example…
"I find it more than a little ironic that many people still pick Firefox as their web browser because they hate Google and Chrome. Mozilla, Firefox's parent organization, lives and dies by the money it gets from Google. No Google: No Firefox. Seriously."
Interesting final few paragraphs.
If "AI in the browser" was of any true value to users, it would be shipped as an extension. Maybe a paid extension.
Then the market could decide its value.
Forcing it into the browser without consent is an admission that it does not provide users with value and could not survive without a heavy thumb on the scales.
PNG and XCF on request :)

@trunksapp any clue why I'd be seeing these instead of the proper icons? It looks that's only happening with #Floorp (Firefox based) and #Firefox browser but can't understand why. It doesn't look like any content is getting blocked. I'm also struggling to load the page, but that also happens with Firefox and Safari 🤷♂️

Ficou mais fácil usar o Marreta, nosso quebrador de paywalls, com a nova extensão para o Chrome. Usa Firefox? A última atualização (0.4.1) trouxe suporte ao Firefox ESR e ao Firefox para Android.

Mozilla CEO made around 7 million USD last year, but hosting bills are pending. Now, they updated the ToS, and you can't watch p0rn, or your data will be sold, or they no longer care about the orignal mission, etc. Once again, we see C-suits lose their grip on reality. As long as they are getting paid in millions, software projects can go to /dev/null. It is like they want to ruin the project on purpose. There is no other explanation I can think of. Can you?

Are there any web browsers that are NOT chromium that support PWAs?
I know Firefox said they're looking back into it a few weeks ago for desktop. But I figure that'll be a while. Currently I'm using a base chromium fork for my desktop, but wondering if there are other options.

I'm using #phanpy installed as a #firefox #pwa to access #mastodonSocial on an #android phone. Few days ago my system bar turned teal. Whodunit?!
Desde hace un par de días, @phanpy hace que las barras superior e inferior se muestren con esos colores en Android 14, utilizándolo como aplicación progresiva (pwa) en Firefox, cuando hasta ahora,vdichas barras, respetaban el tema negro elegido. ¿Algún fallo en la interface, que hace que Android las muestre así, @cheeaun?.
He probado con otros teléfonos con Android 12 y Android 11 y ocurre lo mismo. 🤔
