Sami Lehtinen (sl)'s status on Tuesday, 22-Sep-2020 17:32:59 UTC Sami Lehtinen I wish #tab #containers would work with #Firefox in #private #browsing mode. Currently options are normal browsing mode with tab #isolation or private browsing mode without tab isolation. Why those modes simply can't be combined for better #privacy? -

I thought that might have been my case, but then discovered that most of my $HOME directory's contents are gone.
Appears Kwallet, Firefox, Palemoon, Thunderbird are all affected. Sylpheed, Claws-Mail -

When the GOOG started to cut back and then launched a competing browser, Moz panicked (rightly) because all the high-sounding promises they made were predicated on this huge level of funding that went away.
Now that #Firefox holds a small sliver of its former market share, and nearly all of its competitors build upon Google’s code (which forked from Apple’s code, which itself was forked from KDE’s code), the going is rough and getting rougher. -

(I did not join a previous Zoom meeting my family held in mid-May because it needed a plugin downloaded for #Firefox.) Today, my co-worker S refused to join because of the plugin download for #MSIE 11. -

I don't need to pin a browser that I only use as a local PDF reader. -

You can now join #Zoom calls using #Firefox.
Well, apparently, you always could, but now audio will work.
Also, the meeting organizer must click a button to generate a web link or you’ll be taken to a page telling you to install their desktop program or a browser plugin. -

Nothing compares to the week I once spent waiting for #Ruby to compile on a box with a really slow Celeron, 128MiB of RAM. -

If you have not done so, update your Firefox now. -

Pleroma FE performance got drastically worse a few months ago, so wherever the bug came from, it only started triggering relatively recently. -

I now have #Firefox 67.0.4, so I'll try it from there. -

Well, I fixed the Addon-Problem with the
hotfix-update-xpi-intermediate%40mozilla.com-1.0.2-signed.xpi
...and I had a look inside what it does... (adding an intermediate cert to certdb and reverify all addons)So, does this mean every Addon can add any cert if it thinks this is funny? Isn't this another big security hole?

I would love to see all major browsers completely block all Flash months ahead of their schedules. -
