Cross-posted from "Extension showing similar repositories on Github" by @Mubelotix@jlai.lu in !firefox_addons@lemmy.ml


I created an extension adding a “Similar repositories” section to the sidebar of any public GitHub repository with more than 150 stars. It allows you to discover related open-source projects without leaving the page.

It's also open-source! https://github.com/Mubelotix/SimRepo

Pocket shutting down (support.mozilla.org)
submitted 2 weeks ago by Matt@lemdro.id to c/firefox@lemmy.world
 
 

Pocket will be shutting down on July 8, 2025. This is very disappointing as I love the compatibility with my Kobo.

Many articles nowadays are behind a paywall. So when I want to add an article from a paid newspaper to Pocket, I figured out that that portal just tries to grab the article itself instead of taking it from Firefox directly. Which means that you just see the part of the article you see when you aren't logged in.

Does that make any sense? Not really.

At Mozilla, we consider security to be a paramount aspect of the web. This is why not only does Firefox have a long running bug bounty program but also mature release management and security engineering practices. These practices combined with well-trained and talented Firefox teams are also the reason why we respond to security bugs as quickly as we do. This week at the security hacking competition pwn2own, security researchers demonstrated two new content-process exploits against Firefox. Neither of the attacks managed to break out of our sandbox, which is required to gain control over the user’s system.

Firefox/LibreWolf doesn't restore the newly saved previous tabs on close and open; it restores an earlier version of the tabs

So when I close and open my firefox/librewolf, the tabs restore is the tabs about 2minutes ago

Any fixes?

As the title says, I updated Firefox, tried searching something in the address bar which is set to search duckduckgo.com and the tab will pop open but get stuck with the loading wheel animation continually spinning. So I go to Google.com search duckduckgo and click on the link, same thing happens. Checked status websites for status of duckduckgo.com and all of them return the status "up and running." So I'm at a loss for what to do.

#askfedi Why are the power options different when playing audio in @Vivaldi in #gnome on #debian trixie? When no audio is playing, the options for automatic suspend are available. When audio is playing, the options are completly gone. This doesn’t happen when playing audio in @firefox

If you have just recently received an update to Firefox on Android, you may find that all of your bookmarks now have sorting enabled with no option to turn it off.

There is a way (at the time of this post) to turn off this function.

Instructions for disabling automatic sorting currently:

  1. Open settings.
  2. Tap on About Firefox
  3. Tap on the Firefox logo 5 times to enable developer settings.
  4. Back out to the main settings menu, scroll down to Secret Settings, and tap on that.
  5. Find the 'Enable Compose Bookmarks' toggle and turn it off.

It looks like it's something the Firefox dev's have decided that everyone needs this without any other alternatives.

Not disappeared actually, but it was whittled down so much it might as well have.

Let me show you the site-specific permissions menu that I'm talking about

In an ancient version of Chrome:


Here it is in a modern version of Chrome:


Here it is in Edge:

This is what it looks like in Firefox:


And this is what it looks like in Librewolf:

How do I get the good version back?
