PSA in case the ill-advised URL bar changes in the #Firefox 140 update catch you off guard:
browser.urlbar.trimURLs = false
Also go to Settings > Search and uncheck:
[ ] Show search terms in the address bar on results pages

Anyone at @mozilla_support or @FirefoxDevTools ?
I need some help from #Firefox on Android users.
Firefox 140 has broken protocol URIs for extensions, which in turn breaks Obsidian Web Clipper.
I can't find anything in the release notes about any new permissions, or details about the change. Any ideas?

I don't know how recent this change is but I noticed #Firefox removed https:// from the address bar so now every link and every website I visit looks insecure. I know there is a padlock icon next to the address bar but it doesn't seem quite as easily scannable to me.

@Bro666 @kde @gnome Ah, the good ol’ “patches welcome” argument, a classic. Only the holders of the signing keys can make merges and only they can push out updates to installations — code is meaningless without commitment. I rallied against #Mozilla removing #RSS from #Firefox, their response? Fork it. Sure, and that helps the privacy of all the users with Firefox already installed, how? If leadership won’t commit, then patches are not welcome.
I’d get off my high-horse, to come down to your level but, alas, there’s no #accessibility for dismounting.
I just noticed in the latest Firefox version that the divider between pinned tabs and the rest of the tabs is finally resizable when in vertical tab mode. Finally!

I'd also updated #firefox 140.0.1 yesterday, I'm not sure if the ESR release follow normal 140 point releases, so for now I'll ship a package (on arm64).
Is there a way to see an image's #alt text in #Firefox? (Besides picking through the HTML source.)
Inspect shows part of the alt text, but it's elided with ... so I can't read the whole thing unless I "Edit as HTML". There used to be a "View image info" in the context menu, but it's been removed. "Inspect Accessability Properties" analyzes the whole page. There are apparently add-ons that show it as hover text (like mastodon) but I don't want that, I just want to be able to ask for it.
#evernote habe ich viele Jahre beruflich genutzt. Nun brauche ich es nur noch privat und bin gerade dabei, alles nach #onenote zu migrieren - auch um Geld zu sparen. Erstaunlich, wie viel Daten man in die 5 GB kostenlosen #OneDrive so kriegt.
Aber vor der Zusammenarbeit mit anderen Cloud-Anbietern wird gewarnt. Seht Ihr das auch so? Oder habt Ihr doch noch andere Empfehlungen? Besonders ein WebClipper für #Firefox ist mir wichtig. Bitte #Retweet für mehr Reichweite #cloudspeicher
#Firefox allows you to add new search engine keywords by right clicking on a search field at a site and picking "add a keyword for this search"
#Peertube has a search engine that searches across instances called #SepiaSearch at https://sepiaSearch.org
But Firefox creates a broken search when you do this. Fix it by changing the search URL to add "search" between the / and the ? like so:
https://sepiasearch.org/search?search=%s
Now you can search for videos by typing in the search bar like:
pt kittens
CANNOT BELIEVE I have not been doing this for the past thirty years.
#Librewolf (or, you know, #Firefox, I guess) lets you add "keywords" to bookmarks. Type the keyword, hit return, go to URI directly.

I love these tab groups on the new version of #Firefox
What CSS injector plugin are people using with Firefox these days, anyway?
(the idea being I want to make a visual change on my mastodon server for myself but only myself because polling was like 50/50 on it with some Very No so)
eta: apparently the modern way to do this is with personal style sheets and those can be per-site now? And that's probably why people don't use plugins for this anymore. I learned something today? I think I did, anyway

@tron yes, and in essence all it needs is to be a more convenient version if @tails_live / @tails / #Tails with like @nextcloud / #Nextcloud integration for seamless sync (with like an encrypted /home for caching and convenience...
- Cuz lets be honest: All what #TechIlliterate #Normies need can be done with #Firefox, @thunderbird / #Thunderbird, Nextcloud, @libreoffice / #LibreOffice, #Codium and @videolan / #VLC for the most part.
Maybe add #Dayon as convenient #RemoteDesktop solution and a basic #AutoUpdater (& Terminal) to it.
Odd/annoying problem logging on to @mstdn @stux using @librewolf #Librewolf (a #Firefox fork) - it won't accept my username and password. I can't remember if it ever worked, but definitely not this week.
I just tried disabling any relevant extensions and even ResistFingerPrinting in case they were interfering, but nothing helped.
It's fine in Chromium-based browsers - e.g. Edge and Vivaldi, where I had either logged off or had never logged on before.
