Dear IMVU, kindly get fucked.

They also have locked my account and the submit button doesn't work, even on Vivialdi.

A family member has a broken #firefox installation on #windows. They have passwords, bookmarks, etc saved in that account. Is there any good tooling to export what's still readable before reinstalling Firefox, or the machine?

Edit: I will save away the user directory. I am still wondering if there's a plain text exporter.

#retoot appreciated. Explicit CC @tychotithonus

TIL there is a component inside #firefox that can crash while leaving the browser working like normal... but not able to handle external "open this url please" requests.

This is upsetting because I have a macro buttons to open a bunch of pages and now i have to go to the address bar and type in the first few letters of the url like a god damn cave man

It'd be rad if #firefox's "this tab is playing sound" indicator didn't immediately disappear when the sound stops... you know, so when the track stops i can go and find the tab and select something else

I just tried to leave the following comment on Mozilla's feedback page regarding their new AI "feature". Sadly, it asked me to log in *after* I hit Submit, despite the previous page saying I only needed to be logged in if I wanted to add an attachment. So now I'm even more unhappy.

Anyway, @mozilla, you don't seem to want to hear feedback on this, but I'm @-ing you anyway.

Comment comprises the rest of this thread... 1/3

OMG i haven't had scrollbars in firefox for SO long and i finally bothered to look for how to do it

Go to about:config and set widget.non-native-theme.scrollbar.style to a number between like 1 and 6 (inclusive). There are different styles!! Round,, square,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, i missed them so much..... i'm tearing up...

thank you ff255 you are my hero forever https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/scrollbars-disappear-in-firefox-100/m-p/22144/highlight/true#M9228

@SwiftOnSecurity You can't tell me what to do. You're not even my read dad.

If the only platform was the browser on an inhospitable network and you could only afford one plugin, then uBlock Origin (@ublockorigin) has been the top choice for an age. As manifest version two is replaced by three, uBlock Origin Lite may be able to hold that place.
Now is the second best time to test switching from uBlock Origin to uBlock Origin Lite, noting that its settings are quite different, with several levels of operation and some add-on choices.

On my network, layers currently include:
• Quad9 (@quad9dns) .11 (Secured with ECS: Malware blocking, DNSSEC Validation) upstream of
• Pi-hole with Firebog Ticked, Perflyst for streaming media, and a few other lists, and
• Privacy Badger (@privacybadger) from EFF (@eff) and uBlock Origin Lite (Optimal) on full-feature web browsers.

Going mobile in foreign lands:
• Proton (@protonprivacy) VPN with NetShield (i.e. filtered DNS) and
• Mozilla (@mozilla) Firefox Focus default browser with all Enhanced Tracking Protections on.

The tricky part is maintaining the configuration of each of the full-feature web browsers on each platform to balance privacy, security and function - not least given how setting sometimes magically change after an update. Choice of search provider alone is a major factor. Currently, I prefer @StartpageSearch

Managing trust of privileged software managed by and distributed automatically from proprietary stores is whole other matter.

Happy "Open Firefox's preferences to review everything shady that they might have changed and enabled by default" Day!

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.

Very pleased with the option to translate sections of text and also to view plaintext files within the browser in the latest #Firefox, version 128. :flan_thumbs:​ #Mozilla
