Can I get firefox to act as two separate browsers? ( fedia.io )

Say I have a window of mostly music that I want to open with shortcut a, and a window of work stuff that I want to open with shortcut b. Is there anything I can do to get firefox shortcuts to remember the windows separately? I don't want to use chrome or a different browser as the second window, but that would work for...

Bring back the Firefox Plush Toy ( discuss.tchncs.de )

Many years ago there was a very cute Firefox fox that you could buy - unfortunately all the stores that sold it are down now. So that Firefox / Mozilla sells him again we need your vote! On connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/…/35504 you can login with your Firefox account, GitHub account or Google account and give this suggestion...

Take Back the Web ( pauloroger.dev )

Maybe you are already a Firefox user, we are part of a minority on the web today, and think that this text is not for you.

I’m sure its common knowledge by now that whatever you write in text boxes on customer support chats can be seen by whoever is on the other side, without or before hitting send. Don’t you think that’s a breach of privacy?! I imagine it isn’t too difficult to implement a fix for it: The browser (like Firefox) could choose...

"We are moving away from native widgets, and the ability to disable non-native widgets will be removed as well" What are your thoughts on this? ( bugzilla.mozilla.org )

I really don’t like the psuedo-native look of the element dropdown menu on macOS, and I thought Firefox was trying to embrace native widgets when they added support for macOS right click context menus a few years ago. That issue was open for 20+ years! This sucks....

Firefox for android doesn't connect to cloudflare dns using the DoH protocol

I’ve configured my android phone to connect to cloudflare dns using the one.one.one.one server. When I go to 1.1.1.1/help in Firefox for android, the page shows that it cannot use the DoH protocol, but Dot works. That wouldn’t be too much of a problem but, since Firefox has rolled out ECH and it requires DoH, Firefox won’t...
