You can disable that:

  1. about:config
  2. browser.disableResetPrompt = true

This setting defaulting to be enabled is crazy

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Yes, it’s a weird feature for sure.

If the setting isn’t there, you’ll need to create it.

Or are you saying it doesn’t do anything in this version?

[–] morriscox@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ah. I expected it to already be there.

I guess that makes it doubly-hidden... you add a hidden setting to the hidden settings behind the scary warning sign.

I actually did start down that road, but found it was just a different set of configuration things (enabling canvas, installing plugins with funky configuration steps to allow sites to see my timezone, etc).

[–] PhilipTheBucket@quokk.au 3 points 2 weeks ago

Is it? I thought you could just disable fingerprint resist for whatever site (privacy.resistFingerprinting.exemptedDomains) and it would get canvas and timezone and whatever else. IDK, maybe I am wrong, I have only mucked with it once for some site that didn't work right without the canvas enabled.

I been on librewolf for years, can someone fill me in on what they're talking about here?

I’m recently trying Firefox and it has fucking awful hot keys.

Chrome and Safari have solid hot keys for switching tabs, and Firefox expects you to use ctrl+page up, as if page up is anywhere near home row on any keyboard.

I had this moment of confusion like "What do you mean? Page Up is right there on the mouse," before I remembered that most people probably aren't using MMO mice for browsing. Which I can't personally understand because now that I've had this many buttons I could never give them up. Y'all should try it.

e: And they don't let you set your own keybinds in the browser? That's embarrassing.

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago

Not from what I’ve seen, there’s just browser extensions for that.

And I don’t trust random browser extensions.

[–] Crozekiel@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

wtf... defaults on both chrome and firefox are the same... ctrl+tab (ctr+shift+tab) or ctrl+pgup (ctrl+pgdn). Single handed shortcuts, options on both ends of the keyboard for either hand use.

It seems that "standard behavior" means whatever weird shit you want it to be or are used to, not the actual defaults. Most users are already very used to swapping applications with alt+tab, so ctrl+tab moving through tabs inside a program makes a TON of sense...

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago

So I guess this is the case on Linux, I’m just not used to the Linux shortcuts I guess.

Anyway, I’m wrong, but also annoyed you can’t change this.
