Leaving for his own mental well-being, sounds like on good terms.

I've been working on switching from macOS to Linux. I tried moving my Firefox profile (actually Zen Browser but I don't think it makes a big difference) but it was very laggy when opening, and addons didn't work. So I'm just gonna do it the safe way: exporting my session with Tab Session Manager, places.sqlite file (which contains browsing history), bookmarks, addon data, and using syncing. I'm wondering how well copy and pasting the profile folder between OSes worked for other users.

It happens with all sticky footers on any site. I have the address bar on the top, but moving it to the bottom actually pushes the footer up higher. Could this be a bug caused by the fact that I have two screens (Moto Razr+)?

Hi there,

I wanted to migrate from the default Ubuntu Firefox snap installation to a deb-package-based one using the instructions on the official help site.

I do not just import keys without examining them first, so I had a look at the key from packages.mozilla.org:

pub  rsa2048/C0BA5CE6DC6315A3
     created: 2021-05-04  expires: never       usage: SC  
     trust: unknown       validity: unknown
 [ unknown] (1). Artifact Registry Repository Signer <[email protected]>

Now, what I don't understand is the identity containing a reference to Google instead Mozilla: "Artifact Registry Repository Signer [email protected]"

Could somebody help me understand that?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Post text: guerda - Because I found out via try & error: some pages don't find their #passkeys  with #Firefox on #Android, which they just created. This happens if you have a password service as default like #Keepass2Android. Creation works though. Chrome just works.

Easy solution: setup Google wallet as your default password service, then switch to Keepass2Android again and add Wallet as additional service.

Do this via settings password, default password service

This should be a blog post.

#passkey #KeePass

When I use a calculator website such as desmos, geobra, or symbolab, the numbers will randomly stop inputting when I press them on the keyboard. Has anyone else had this experience?

I'm using Fedora Linux.

since last update, my image of shortcut, in new tab page, are super tiny.

I though it was to allow to add more row or something, but no. Just tiny images.

Can I change the size of the image without css? Or should I wear glass

FINAL EDIT: Finally following the instruction on my bug report, I created a new profile with about: profiles, then Make my normal profile "default" again.. and setting variantA and B to false stick. No longer tiny shortcut.

EDIT 5: seems this monstuosity will be corrected soon : https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/defalut-tab-shortcut-feedback/m-p/86145/highlight/true#M32956

EDIT 4: reported the bug :https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1947401

EDIT: ~~> browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.newtabLayouts.variant a and b to false.~~ Unfortunatly the variant get back to true randomly after some time

EDIT2: you need to opt out of some study it seems : https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/firefox-134-new-tab/m-p/83021/highlight/true

EDIT3: the opt out of Firefox:study about the new UI doesnt help: the variant still revert to "true" after some time, not even after relaunching the browser, just after some time on its own.. which is pretty scary

I use ctrl + alt + x to translate pages, this chatbot uses the same shortcut so translate addon can't

Hi,

I find bookmarks tedious to use and largely a huge waste of time. I have 10s of thousands of bookmarks and I never ever open any of them except the 10 or so on my bookmarks toolbar

Will bookmark ever improve, they seem to be solidly stuck in their functionality from 1996 and stagnant. Probably because nobody uses them there is no point in improving something no one uses.

So anyway, I thought bookmarks could be potentially useful if you could search text inside them. Except of course being 1996's finest technology, they never considered possible to save the text of a website as metadata of the bookmarks and they are built on this really naive idea that the bookmark will still work in the future, how pure in innocent of them.

So anyway, I'd like to just ask my locally running offline copy of deepseek 621B to search inside my bookmarks for a specific text and look at all images, video and audio transcript for a certain topic. I know this is a lot to ask of the outdated and obsolete bookmark technology so I'm curious if maybe there's someone that thought of improving that functionality or if I'm the first one to ever realize that ?

I found it on my DNS logs. Not sure what it does.
