Apoyando @firefox en la "Nueva pestaña"

After I noticed Firefox has removed the Pocket branding but kept the Pocket stories, I also noticed the settings screen on the homepage no longer lets you disable sponsored stories or links.

Firefox 115:

Firefox 139:

You can still remove these advertisements, but you have to leave the homepage and dig through the settings to find that option.

Important Update: Orbit will shut down on June 26, 2025.
On June 26, you will no longer be able to use the Orbit extension. Thanks for supporting our journey.

The Fakespot feature within Firefox known as Review Checker will shut down on June 10, 2025.

There goes the only feature that managed to move my wife towards a gecko based browser. l guess it's Brave for her now.

Mozilla acquired it two years ago. Bastards.

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

this ad is hypocritical as FUCK imo, just wanted to spark discussion on the topic.

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.

is half the internet hosted in rural america?

reddit, twitch, streamable, videos don't play anymore. it worked a few hours ago. works in chrome though and edge.

but i rather stop using internet than switch to chrome
