Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

"Pocket, an app for saving and reading articles later, is shutting down on July 8, Mozilla announced today.

The company sent an email with the subject line “Important Update: Pocket is Saying Goodbye,” around 2 p.m. EST and I immediately started wailing when I saw it.

“You’ll be able to keep using the app and browser extensions until then. However, starting May 22, 2025, you won’t be able to download the apps or purchase a new Pocket Premium subscription,” the announcement says. Users can export saved articles until October 8, 2025, after which point all Pocket accounts and data will be permanently deleted.

The Mozilla-owned Pocket, formerly known as "Read It Later," launched in August 2007 as a Firefox browser extension that let users save articles to... well, read later. Mozilla acquired Pocket in 2017."

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

is it just me or #Firefox sometimes randomly decides to stop responding to any left mouse clicks on existing tabs? like trying to close, go back or unmute – with no reaction

right click and picking an option from the menu works

it started with the last release ig (i'm on 138.0.1, Arch on Wayland)

Firefox stürzt ab: 6 % Marktanteil am Desktop, mobil kaum 0,5 %. Mozilla hat Vertrauen verspielt – das einst mächtige Add-on-System beschnitten, Mobile(-Security) vernachlässigt, Admins ignoriert, zu oft umgebaut statt verbessert. Technik verlor gegen Management-Floskeln. Der Exodus war hausgemacht. Und dennoch brauchen wir Firefox – sonst gehen uns die Alternativen zu Chrome endgültig aus.
