@firefox See? NO ONE is impressed

@firefox Not sure that leaving the fediverse - where all of the IT people and developers live - to go back to the nazi site was the best idea.

But clearly, telling you that your browser was done 10 years ago and that we dont want your AI garbge had an impact. (buffs nails on shirt)

Have fun with the nazis.

Someone at @firefox thought that *BLOCKING* the [ENTER] key from confirming the 'SAVE' of a content is a good idea ... think again - its garbage/bullshit - bring it back before it backfires more ...

Dark Reader is great with nearly everything except Google Sheets for some reason, which is why I seek an alternative:

1. Install and enable Dark Reader
2. Open Google Sheets and type some text in cells
3. It's also dark and illegible, but the font color is normal if Dark Reader is turned off for Google Sheets

This is unfortunately important because a massive amount of my work depends on Google Sheets. Other than this one issue, it works well with everything else.

@firefox STOP. UPDATING.

The browser was done TEN YEARS AGO. There is literally ZERO FUCKING JUSTIFICATION for you pushing updates EVERY GODDAMN DAY.

Fucking KNOCK IT OFF. WE DON'T WANT YOUR AI FUCKING GARBAGE.

This is why you're losing to a fucking fork.

You were supposed to be defenders of the faith, not fucking corporate whore sellouts like Google.

Starting with the 2026/27 season, Firefox is Wrexham AFC’s official web browser partner and front-of-kit sponsor on the men’s and women’s teams.

Official Reddit announcement

Hi I use firefox on Linux and want to change to the first, second, third, ..., last tab with ctrl+1/2/3/.../9 instead of alt+1/2/3/.../9 because alt is already mapped to changing desktops. any idea how I could accompilish this?

edit1: I use mac and windows at work and there the shortcuts are ctrl+<number>. It would be so nice to have consistent shortcuts 🐧

[SOLUTION] install ctrl+number extension recommended by @[email protected]

How do I add the font Candara to Firefox's fonts? It has so few of the standard fonts. I'd love to get this on here, but I can't figure out how.

Hi, I came across a funny web browser rendering(?) issue.

There is a webpage (it's a certification exam preparation training site, but the content doesn't matter here). I have text on the screen, and when I mark it, some (formerly invisible) overlay text emerges and gets actually marked, instead of the text I see on the screen. The marked text seem to have a different font.

But what confuses me most about it, is that the original and the marked text are actually notably DIFFERENT STRINGS. 🤔

Note the words
"defines"- where the "f" seems to be a special character, that @Vivaldi renders as a box, @firefox doesn't render it at all.

"partner" - where there seems to be typo in the copy-text ("parner"), but not in the visible text.

To me that's a hint, that this isn't a rendering glitch, but something that was designed like this on purpose.

Can anyone explain to me what this is and/or what the intention behind it may be? I'm really curious...

First screenshot is the text is just the website as it appears to the plain eye.
Second is a screenshot when text is marked in Vivaldi (Chromium engine) and the third is the same in Firefox

boosts for reach appreciated to solve the riddle. :)

It's an unintended side effect that the majority of custom ROM users will appreciate.

Firefox being the first and only browser on Android enforcing Google play integrity verification wasn't on my bingo card

Today, the team at v12 released a video showing a PoC of Universal Account Takeover affecting Firefox Focus of iOS version.

The PoC were released because it is been almost a year the vuln reported, but it is not patched yet.

The video below is demonstration of the vulnerability. We can see that,your X, Google, Reddit, can be taken over only in one click of a link.

Vulnerability explanation and the partly PoC can be seen here:

Desinstalaré Firefox de Xubuntu. Volví a usarlo luego de años y me decepcionó. Pasé horas configurando tres perfiles. Luego, no sé cómo, los escondió. En la "Ayuda" todo en inglés. Usé un Chatbot de IA para ayuda y sólo así entendí (más o menos) algunas cosas porque en la "Ayuda" de Firefox es un desastre.

Bye, bye Firefox.

Spotted on Mozilla's bug tracker:

[meta] Homepage Sports Widget

Where it turns out the countdown widget was part of a broader plan to add a different permanent widget:

• "Phase 1: Countdown"
• "Phase 2: Follow a team and View Schedule"

Web calls will apparently be providing

• SportsMatch
• SportsTeam
• MatchStatus
• TournamentPhase

You can also expect a popup on the Desktop that advertises World Cup wallpapers.

The Phase 1 wallpapers and widget remind me of 2017 when they rolled out the creepiest experiment possible and then apologized with language that would be at home today:

"Although we always have the best intentions, not everything that we try works as we want," said Jascha Kaykas-Wolff, Mozilla's chief marketing officer... "This was not a paid promotion but rather a collaboration that was intended to be fun."

I switched from Zen back to Firefox because of bugs and forced features like window sync which many users including myself don't want. I really miss having the entire UI on the side, I really don't care about Zen's other features.
