Okay, so I want to request a feature, specifically a specific site specific subtitle wrapper for the website Weverse. You can see after some time why subtitles on pip would be useful on this website.

I was planning on posting something like this on Mozilla Connect (especially after being inspired by this feature request https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/discussions/loklok-website-subtitles-for-pic-in-pic-mode-being-left-out/td-p/19690 but I haven't seen others like it) but the comments redirect to a https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1765604#c0, but I am not a developer nor know how to code at all, so I'm wondering where to post this besides here and Mozilla Connect where they may see it?

Edit: last sentence, added another link, added "subtitle" in the first sentence. Also added a sentence.

Could someone confirm? The test page is here (Safari and Chrome behave correctly):

Highlights We were able to disable some Spectre / Meltdown JIT mitigations! Nightly-only for now. These were mitigations we deployed years ago to protect users against various timing ...

The Joy of Coding returns today with Episode 331! I'm going to be livehacking on Firefox, maybe reviewing some patches, but hopefully (finally!) working on those GTest tests for the new off-main-thread Windows Jump List backend we've built!

I haven't heard much about it since they launched it. Now would be the perfect time to open the gates. Twitter is dying, Reddit lost a chunk of users and the fediverse is growing rapidly as a result.

Kind reminder that uBlock Origin, an efficient blocker built by gorhill (Raymond Hill), works the best on Firefox. Spread the word!

May and June were good months for Firefox's Speedometer performance compared to Chrome. We're closing in while Chrome seems fairly static. In this visualization, lower in the graph is better. From https://arewefastyet.com/win10/benchmarks/overview?numDays=60.

Is Firefox ESR more stable? Uses less memory? Have you tried it?

Not quite sure if I'm posting at the right place. I would normally be posting this on the Reddit r/Firefox channel. Anyhow, here goes.

I'm trying to get Firefox's Reader View function to work with Outlook Web Emails. It doesn't work on my end and I was wondering if it's perhaps because of a setting or another Add-On I'm using that might interfere with this function. On a side note, I tested another Reader Extensions via the Brave Browser. It seems to work when I'm viewing the overall Emails in the Inbox, but it still doesn't work with an opened Email. Microsoft never ceases to amaze... but anyhow, micro-rant aside, has anyone encountered this behavior? Are there any workarounds?

Here's my initial post on the Mozilla Help forum. I figured I'd try my luck here. Cheers!

Preferable wouldn't require rooting the phone, but curious to hear if there is a way that requires rooting also.

Faster debugging, ignoring lines of source, and more

Looks like the cookie banner blocker, originally scheduled for Firefox 114, didn’t make it into today’s Firefox 115 either. Brave and DuckDuckGo already block cookie banners.

For Firefox, we need to rely on uBlock Origin. Unfortunately, there’s no uBlock Origin for Firefox on iOS.

Just wanted to write down my appreciation for the "Firefox Translations" extension and make people who might find it useful, but missed its announcement, aware of it.

For the people who haven’t heard about Firefox Translations it does local translation from one language to another.
Works on the entire page or just whatever you select.

Not having to offload the task to say google translate or some other company is a great win for privacy and anti-tracking.
It is yet another reason why I’m still on Firefox all these years later.
On any other browser(vast vast majority) this would be online and data mined.

It can’t compete with google translate on number of languages right now, but for a lot of people I’d imagine it’s pretty useful in its current state.
Hopefully additional languages will be added with time.

More information about it here if you want to know more.

I think this was the last piece of the puzzle for more reliable downloads. Sites like Mega that use this won't have much to complain about in the near future.

Starting July 11, 2023, Pocket users will be prompted to transition to a Firefox account in order to log in and access their Pocket account. Aside from changing how you log in to Pocket, this does not affect your saved items. While optional at first, the transition to a Firefox account in order to log in will be required by August 15, 2023.

For Pocket Premium subscribers, converting your account will not impact your subscription.

A comprehensive mapping of old subreddits to new communities.

/r/firefox's new official home is in the Fedi!

From /r/Firefox:

All legacy technical posts will remain available so that searching for help related to the browser is still available, but henceforth and until the reddit admins appropriately reply to our concerns, the only new submissions allowed will be ones that contain the cuddly fuzzy little animals from which the subreddit indirectly received its name:‌

The red panda! Also known as fire foxes. ‌

If you are looking for technical posts, we now have an official community on Kbin. Keep in mind that Lemmy also federates with Kbin. We continue to be around on Matrix as well.

The subreddit & Kbin magazine aren't run by Mozilla but are still a very important forum for the browser.

Do give them a follow on @firefox - you should be able to follow that from most of the Fediverse i.e. Mastodon, Calckey, etc etc etc

The Joy of Coding returns today with Episode 330! More livehacking on Firefox, more Windows JumpList stuff!

We got things showing up in the jump list last week programmatically. This week, we'll try modifying the frontend to have the option for using the new backend. And then maybe tests! Finally!

In a well-intentioned yet dangerous move to fight online fraud, France is on the verge of forcing browsers to create a dystopian technical capability.

This move will overturn decades of established content moderation norms and provide a playbook for authoritarian governments that will easily negate the existence of censorship circumvention tools.

21 years ago this summer Firefox got real. For some months it was mostly just tinkering, but with Blake's internship and collabs with Hyatt, PCH contributing, Hewitt getting more involved, Kerz, myself and a couple others working on theme stuff, things were getting serious.

This might be a little late for this year, but we can definitely start playing with some ideas for next year (or maybe we can run the logo next month).

Wouldn't it be cool to rebrand the magazine logo here in a Firefox+Pride themed way? Your logo should be square-ish so that it fits in the Kbin sidebar.

MDN is launching a code Playground. Users can prototype ideas and expand all live samples into an interactive experience.
