OpenAI wants to buy Chrome and make it an “AI-first” experience - Ars Technica
https://arstechnica.com/ai/2025/04/chatgpt-head-tells-court-openai-is-interested-in-buying-chrome/ <- I'm so glad I use Firefox, surely this is worst then Google owning Chrome... #chrome #google #openai #firefox

Hum... TIL that #TorBrowser is based on #Firefox ESR and seems to be working without using the Tor Network.

Given that, what's the benefit of all the other "Firefox Clone with Security and Privacy in mind"?

I guess the Tor Browser project already takes care of removing the ... naughty features ... from Firefox.

I suggest everybody who as a mozilla/firefox account leaves a comment about the new planned "AI" feature here: https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/try-out-link-previews-in-firefox-labs-138-and-share-your/td-p/92012

Seeking #hivemind #macadmins help: I want to disable all browser.ml.* AI nonesense in #firefox, but i do not find any preferences for this in https://mozilla.github.io/policy-templates/ any idea how to set this with #jamf ?

Qué bonito descubrir una función maravillosa de #Firefox en un artículo absurdo sobre IA:

Insertando la clave browser.urlbar.update2.engineAliasRefresh en about:config se pueden añadir buscadores totalmente personalizados al estilo Chrome. Una de las cosas que más eché de menos al migrar a Firefox (lo pude sobrellevar gracias al mítico Mycroft Project, pero no es lo mismo).

We heard you like AI, here is more AI in Firefox: AI link previews.

Accidentally suspended my system instead of shutting it down and now #Firefox is completely broken.

WTLAF?

#GoogleChrome is going to keep third-party cookies turned on by default, but it's pretty easy to turn them off (along with other ad features) by putting a "managed policies" file in the right place. Saves having to remember to do it for all users and profiles. (And there's a similar file to control the built-in ad features in #Firefox, too.)

Firefox crashed and died a horrible death.

Lost a dozen tabs I've been telling myself I would read. CTRL+SHIFT+T isn't bringing anything back.

Probably better this way. #firefox

Right...!
The Clickmeeting software is just clearly utterly crap!
Taking us back to the days of "This website is best viewed in Internet Exploder".....
The webinar I was suppose to attend did not work in #firefox, OK I hadn't disabled noscript, it didn't work in #vivaldi #vivaldibrowser , and neither in #opera .
Well, I absolutely refuse to install #chrome and also don't want to use #edge , even though now I was on my W10 Pro netbook.
Clearly https://anybrowser.org/campaign is needing to be promoted.

TIL & #PSA: In #Firefox you can "search" your bookmark folders from within the "new bookmark" popup (Ctrl+D or the star icon in the URL bar). Expand the folders list, then type letters. It works similar to most file browsers: It's not a search, it finds the next folder matching what you typed. I have 80+ folders and this speeds up chosing the correct one massively since the folder list is so small. Also works for subfolders. Press Alt to close & save.
Keyboard-only: Ctrl+D Tab Tab Space ASDF Alt

Somehow my main #Firefox instance lost the auth tokens with the #Mozilla account. It asks for a new login, but when I try, it sends me an email with a code that I must use before a 5m timeout, but for some reason the mail takes more than 5m to reach my inbox. Took me several attempts to get it right.

It then asked me to generate a recovery key, suggested me to store it on my password manager, and then this: It asks for a hint that will be presented to you to help you remember where you put it.

Chciałem dziecięciu zasilić konto #Microsoft, ale zarówno #Librewolf, jak i #Firefox nie dały rady. Wszystko szło jak zazwyczaj, łącznie z potwierdzeniem transakcji w apce banku, po czym MS twierdził że się nie da i tyle. Dopiero sięgnięcie po #UngoogledChromium pomogło.

Trying out #Nyxt for the first time, it is pretty slick! Gonna try main it, now that #firefox leadership has made it abundantly clear that they have abandoned their users. Wonder what would it take to get it to use servo as the rendering engine?
