For instance, you can go to chrome://browser/content/places/places.xhtml in a browser tab to see the bookmarks and history manager. That link opens the bookmarks, I wonder if there's a URL that opens the history manager directly instead.

I was going to post one myself but searched and found this one.

It would be very very handy to have a simple search bar at the top of the extension dropdown menu, because over time people add a lof of different extensions to their firefox and it becomes very very very tedious to always manually search for the one that I need right now.
So just a simple searchbar at the top that filters extension in the dropdown menu by name would be awesome to have, so that I can quickly find and access its specific extension window.
Also make it so that the search bar is instantly focused when the extension menu pops up, so that the user can immediately start typing and the filtering begins. Then the user can just press enter to launch the extension window of the first element in the list. This would allow for a easy mouse-free keyboard-only navigation.
And before somebody asks: I do not want pin every extension to the toolbar just to quickly access it, it would like to hide away most of them in the dropdown menu instead, so this is not a viable option.

As Firefox is by far my most used app, I find that bookmarking the current tab and describing the task with no more than a few words or even as little as a few chars, to be a good way to keep track of what things I need to do soon. For things I would get to later or whenever I feel like it, I'll put them in Firefox's "Boookmarks Menu" or "Other Bookmarks" folders, and have lots of folders consisting of Reddit posts and searches about different topics.

So I enabled vertical tabs on Firefox. :blob_neutral_face:

is okay

1. wish i could adjust the width 🤷‍♂️ It's too wide
2. Also, a random extension I use was pinned to the bottom of the sidebar. I can't remove it and I don't need it appearing in 2 places (sidebar and top nav) :blobcatgoogly:

Right now is the best period of time yet for Firefox-based browser, especially when most alternative browsers are Chrome-based.

While there are a bunch of forks like Librewolf and Palemoon, they provide features mainly for power users like hardened privacy and tweaked user-prefs. A year ago the only fork I knew of, based on recent stable versions of Firefox and added productivity features on top was Floorp. I was very surprised at the hype and sudden popularity of Zen Browser in the past few months and have been curious why it grew so much faster than Floorp which has been around for much longer, look at the Github star graph: https://star-history.com/#zen-browser%2Fdesktop=&Date=. Zen Browser currently has 19.3K stars while Floorp has 6.1K.

Reasons I can think of are the following: heavy promotion of the browser by the devs and community on places like Reddit along with emphasizing its 'zen' philosophy, really fast development (it now has way more features than Floorp), and the Zen mods store, where you can install CSS mods.

What are your thoughts and reasons for Zen Browser becoming so popular so fast? (while its not mainstream, it did grow fast in among Firefox and power users)

Slightly buried in the news that #Chrome will have to be sold off, there's also news that Google cannot pay browsers to be their default search engine.
That's going to have huge effects, especially for browsers like #Firefox - it's going to be an interesting to see this pan out

Here are the results of my "What is your favorite browser?" survey, here on Mastodon. These are some very interesting results.

It is clear that the incumbents are not getting a lot of love. Edge gets 2% and Chrome gets 5%. These browsers are widely used, but not very popular, based on this survey.

Safari does a lot better at 16%, the same as Vivaldi. The enthusiasm level from those that use Vivaldi is high and plenty of people also mention Vivaldi as a secondary option.

Opera gets just 1%.

Firefox gets 60%, so clearly a strong showing here in the Fediverse, although many say they use Firefox only because they do not want to use a Chromium based browser.

The cool part is then that 13% say they prefer another browser. Plenty of smaller browsers getting a mention, which is nice.

If you notice that the total is higher than 100%, then that is because I allowed people to select more than one browser, although most did not.

If you are still using Chrome or Edge, maybe it is time to try something new? You have a choice!

Ich sage ab heute good bye @firefox
Über 15 Jahre mein schneller, flexibler Browser, dessen Extenions-Modell innovativ war. Nach dem Netscape Navigator habe ich bevorzugt damit Websites gebastelt. Leider geht @mozilla für mich in die falsche Richtung (Nutzerdaten zur Werbevermarktung). Tschüssing.

What is your favorite browser? Feel free to share why.

#Firefox 132.0.2 is out now to add a mitigation to help reduce the frequency of duplicated push notifications reported by some user and fix possible errors when playing encrypted media content through some streaming providers, a crash in the Network Monitor developer tool, hangs when printing from some sites when using the system print dialog, and a crash when using MS SSO on macOS.

20 years ago, Mozilla got off to a hot start when it shipped version 1.0 of its Firefox browser. Firefox went on to gain over 30% of the global market share — until Chrome came along. Can Mozilla restore its former glory? @Techcrunch sits down with interim CEO Laura Chambers to talk about the company getting back to growth and more: https://flip.it/1VC-Ix
