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?

#techsupport #mac #bookmarks #macos #mozilla

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.

Mozilla announces more AI in Firefox, still failing to understand that at this point their market share is made of tech savvy people who do not want that.

Mozilla, please. Stop chasing the fads. Get your own values.

People use Firefox to get access to an open web, use a sturdy browser, and not to be tracked. Build in that direction and that direction only.

Nobody from your current user base will recommend Firefox with AI to their friends.

Mozilla: We're going to start listening to our users!

Users: Don't put any more "AI" in Firefox.

Mozilla: Not like that.

Not wasting anymore time and heart advocating for Firefox and forks, they're doomed.

"Opensource" is sadly not enough to keep me ignoring the awful organization and their individuals parading like they wouldn't just throw you under the bus the moment they get a break

#mozilla #firefox #opensource

Dear Mozilla what you're doing is stupid, dangerous, and opposed to your mission. You need to stop. #ai #aibrowser #mozilla #firefox #webbrowser

#FireFox we need to talk..

WTF is dis?!

Also yesterday I found out that #Amazon website won't open on my laptop #Firefox running #Debian. I have to use #Amazon for both work and life. Weird thing is, it opens just fine with #LibreWolf. Tried clear cache and cookie, did not work.

I have been using #Firefox also exclusively on all my laptops and lab computers both on #Linux and #Windows. Only make sense I would also use it or its derivatives on my #Android phones too. Yes I am. I use #IceRaven and #Fennec on my phone, both come with browser extension support and are still receiving updates now and then. However still, one small issue bugs me. Although sync work for both browsers after I login my #Mozilla account, meaning I can see all tabs and history and all across devices, sending a tab from one device to another barely works. I remember with my last phone it worked most of time, more then half I suppose, but with the phone I am using now, it never worked for both browsers. I might have to give vanilla firefox a try though, before I am sure.

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.

How much would you be actually, genuinely, willing to pay, per year, for a great-browser-first Mozilla Firefox?

No AI, no adtech, no sponsored news/search, and so on?

$/£/€0?

#Firefox #Mozilla

pensando em testar alternativas ao Firefox depois dos anúncios de hoje que prometem mais integração de IA no navegador (por mais que essa "maior integração" não tenha sido bem explicada).

ouvi falar bem do Waterfox e do Floorp, alguém tem outras recomendações ou gostaria de compartilhar sua experiência com esses?

“Together”??? Don't blame your shit on us #mozilla. There is no “together” here.
Time to move on from #Firefox, i guess.

Mozilla's new CEO is all-in on AI regardless of what Firefox users want: https://lwn.net/Articles/1050826/

Third: Firefox will grow from a browser into a broader ecosystem of trusted software. Firefox will remain our anchor. It will evolve into a modern AI browser and support a portfolio of new and trusted software additions.

He says the word "trust" a whole bunch of times yet intends to turn an otherwise nice web browser into a slop-slinging platform. I don't expect this will work out very well for anyone.

"It will evolve into a modern AI browser" sounds like a threat. Good way to start off on the right foot, new Mozilla CEO (sarcasm).
