That's like an opinion, man. Or 24.

David , in Automatically Clean Cookies for Some Sites

As far as I know this should work: Cookie AutoDelete -> Settings -> List of Expressions -> Create Default Expressions Options -> _Default:WHITE -> Check Keep All Cookies.

ItsComplicated , in Mozilla downsizes as it refocuses on Firefox and AI: Read the memo | TechCrunch

Article quote "Mozilla will focus on bringing “trustworthy AI into Firefox.” To do so, it will bring together the teams that work on Pocket, Content and AI/Ml."

Does not scream privacy friendly, imo

Ephera ,

In the past, they've often spearheaded privacy-friendly solutions, like the translation feature in Firefox, which is already today 100% offline. It's possible to run LLMs offline, too, for simpler workloads. For example, they could probably use an offline LLM to have that translation feature form readable sentences more often.

and scale back investment in its Mozilla.social Mastodon instance.

Well shit, I guess I’m never getting off that waitlist. Of all the services being effected by this news the mastodon instance is a relatively minor loss but I was really hoping it’d work out and thrive in a similar manner to Vivaldi’s instance.

They are having the wrong direction since years. If anything, this is the same direction.

I disagree. Software not terminating immediately is grounds for uninstallation. It should update silently while it runs.

Go to options. Scroll halfway down the page. Firefox gives you the choice to change updates from automatic to whenever you want.

ArtificialLink OP ,

I prefer automatic updates.

This is what I hate on school computers, and it drives people away from Firefox.
You don't have admin privilege, you can't update, so don't even try.
I always disable auto-updates on those.

You guys close your browser? Weird

Would you prefer:

“Firefox Updater

This app is preventing shutdown”

You've not used it on linux I guess. Update at some random point in time while you use it. Now I understand why it does it, but it's just horrible terrible unforgivable.

Shouldn't it update exactly when you want on Linux, because it's done by your package manager?

pyre , in Mozilla names new CEO as it pivots to data privacy

hi new CEO, any plans to update Thunderbird to look like it was made within the last decade?

I put it into my password manager. (KeePassXC with Syncthing to share the database)

Pivots to data privacy? What was their focus before?

Burning foxes

ferralcat , in Mozilla names new CEO as it pivots to data privacy

Reading this new CEOs job history on linkedin is kinda infuriating. She goes from intern to head of consumer products at Skype in less than a year. Just... Frustrating to read that while I am and manage really good people who struggle for decades in the trenches to get even paltry job opportunities.

But she got her MBA from Stanford so nepotism ahoy I guess.

EnderMB ,

That...can't be accurate, surely? I've never known someone go from an internship to a senior IC role in less than a year, let alone leadership - unless the Skype head roles are glorified management roles?
