Kind reminder that uBlock Origin, an efficient blocker built by gorhill (Raymond Hill), works the best on Firefox. Spread the word!

May and June were good months for Firefox's Speedometer performance compared to Chrome. We're closing in while Chrome seems fairly static. In this visualization, lower in the graph is better. From https://arewefastyet.com/win10/benchmarks/overview?numDays=60.

Is Firefox ESR more stable? Uses less memory? Have you tried it?

Not quite sure if I'm posting at the right place. I would normally be posting this on the Reddit r/Firefox channel. Anyhow, here goes.

I'm trying to get Firefox's Reader View function to work with Outlook Web Emails. It doesn't work on my end and I was wondering if it's perhaps because of a setting or another Add-On I'm using that might interfere with this function. On a side note, I tested another Reader Extensions via the Brave Browser. It seems to work when I'm viewing the overall Emails in the Inbox, but it still doesn't work with an opened Email. Microsoft never ceases to amaze... but anyhow, micro-rant aside, has anyone encountered this behavior? Are there any workarounds?

Here's my initial post on the Mozilla Help forum. I figured I'd try my luck here. Cheers!

Preferable wouldn't require rooting the phone, but curious to hear if there is a way that requires rooting also.

Faster debugging, ignoring lines of source, and more

Looks like the cookie banner blocker, originally scheduled for Firefox 114, didn’t make it into today’s Firefox 115 either. Brave and DuckDuckGo already block cookie banners.

For Firefox, we need to rely on uBlock Origin. Unfortunately, there’s no uBlock Origin for Firefox on iOS.

Just wanted to write down my appreciation for the "Firefox Translations" extension and make people who might find it useful, but missed its announcement, aware of it.

For the people who haven’t heard about Firefox Translations it does local translation from one language to another.
Works on the entire page or just whatever you select.

Not having to offload the task to say google translate or some other company is a great win for privacy and anti-tracking.
It is yet another reason why I’m still on Firefox all these years later.
On any other browser(vast vast majority) this would be online and data mined.

It can’t compete with google translate on number of languages right now, but for a lot of people I’d imagine it’s pretty useful in its current state.
Hopefully additional languages will be added with time.

More information about it here if you want to know more.

I think this was the last piece of the puzzle for more reliable downloads. Sites like Mega that use this won't have much to complain about in the near future.

Starting July 11, 2023, Pocket users will be prompted to transition to a Firefox account in order to log in and access their Pocket account. Aside from changing how you log in to Pocket, this does not affect your saved items. While optional at first, the transition to a Firefox account in order to log in will be required by August 15, 2023.

For Pocket Premium subscribers, converting your account will not impact your subscription.

This might be a little late for this year, but we can definitely start playing with some ideas for next year (or maybe we can run the logo next month).

Wouldn't it be cool to rebrand the magazine logo here in a Firefox+Pride themed way? Your logo should be square-ish so that it fits in the Kbin sidebar.

On Monday morning we (Mozilla) detected a very large crash spike affecting #Firefox users on Linux, specifically on an older version of a Debian-based distribution. It turned out to be an interesting bug involving the #Linux kernel and #Google JavaScript code so let me tell you about it. A thread 🧵

Let's take advantage of the fact that we are so small! Say hi and tell us how you started using Firefox!

Download Kbin Link for Firefox. Find it annoying to copy paste [!memes@beehaw.org](/c/memes@beehaw.org) to look at a Lemmy community? This extension is for you. This extension looks for Lemmy style communities and replaces them to direct you to seeing that community on your kbin instance.
