OT, but I feel like
I keep seeing more of these “foo 1.2.3 released” announcements here on this channel.Is it on topic, though? Shouldn’t the channel be more about Linux specific topics, rather than place for people to discuss updates of arbitrary selection of apps which just share the fact that they also run on Linux?
Edit: Technically the “I feel like” part was true but looking at the topic post … factually I’m totally wrong; it’s like 1 in 20 at most.
Good update.
I’d like to see Firefox password manager be separated from the browser. Using a browser password manager just sucks because it doesnt work outside the browser. The sync is good enough to make me happy paying$1 a month for.
For tab groups they need to add the ability to auto move certain sites into the group the ai suggestion sucks and it doesnt autocollect tabs so its pointless.
For containers I’d like to see them add a default container to open with.
And, while I like old hardware, the first x86-64 chips shipped in 2003. So, this is not exactly a Windows 11 situation.
Hardware older than that is going to struggle with modern browsers. A PC from that era would probably have less than 1 GB of RAM and perhaps a max RAM well under 4 GB (the theoretical limit). Using older software versions is probably best anyway.
Copy Link to Highlight is my favorite addition.

“Firefox no longer supports 32-bit Linux systems. We recommend installing the 64-bit version for continued updates and support”
And I thought only Microsoft create e-waste.
I wanna say, “sarcasm?” 👏👏👏 At least, that’s how I’m reading it.
Sure, but not obviously enough, maybe next time I mark it.
All of the 5 people who use (non-ESR) Firefox on their 2002 Pentium 4s will certainly be very unhappy about this.
It’s open source. If 32 bit support is important enough, people can fork and maintain it.
What e-waste? Your computer still works, you can install other browsers and apps 🤷♂️
Try lynx
unironically my measuring stick for a good ux is if the site is usable from lynx without knowing how to use lynx
Oh, memories 🤩
Ironically, I think it may be because of Skia. So Google.
