Hahahahahahaha, you’re a… tech “miracle”! For the 10 years with Linux I’ve never uninstalled the DE by accident or otherwise, or any of the other problems you mentioned. I have fucked up my computer only once but I did it on purpose - to see what will happen. I had already created a clonezilla backup of a working system, so I was free to experiment and… I decided to uninstall both kernels (rolling and LTS) and reboot. There was no kernel panic because there was no kernel to begin with. 😆

I’ve disabled it long ago and yet it keeps popping up on FB, YT and all other websites. Clearly “disabled” on Firefox means nothing, so… CSS.

I’ve always wondered how to remove the audio button, so I’ll use your code - thanks!

I don’t suppose you know of any CSS to permanently disable the picture-in-picture mode for all websites?

If not, what do you think “lock-in” actually means?

That they’ll lock you out of your repo without access to manage it, maybe? Or threaten you to make your software inoperable in Windows, if you don’t comply? IDK, they can always think of sonething but if they think I don’t already have full copies of my projects on my computer, they’re deeply mistaken. 😂

• The manually pinned literally sink somewhere behind the repeatedly pinned links from other sites, so manually is pointless. • If “force stop” and then start FFA were enough, I wouldn’t mention phone reboot. • Never heard of those but I’ll definitely try them. Thanks for the info. • If it does, I’never found it in the settings. Or, for whatever reason, it doesn’t appear on Xiaomi phones.

Reading Hadriscus’ comment below ours from 2 weeks ago, looks like the reason I abandoned the desktop FF (and went for a fork) has been moved to FFA - enorcing their view on what’s best for the user without giving the user the option to revert what they have done. Do I have to say this behavior which famous corp. reminds me of or will Mozilla think of it themselves?

Fortunately I’m safe from that bc right after I assembled my current PC (even before moving the distro to it; yes, moving, not “installing”), I entered BIOS and disabled secure boot, IPM 2.0 and pretty much everything Spyware related. Only then I booted Clonezilla and extracted from the backup image. Since I had done the same on the old PC in BIOS, that means my Arch was never installed with SB and IPM active.

On top of that the last update of BIOS nearly broke it, so I flashed it back to the more stable version the motherboard came with. And since I have no intention to update BIOS, I’m safe from all that trouble.

They will, if you change the links and share them with at least your users.

What do you think Ubuntu is? Microsoft’s touch in it is so obvious that only a fool would miss it.

How exactly do they hope to lock devs in github??? That’s absurd, there’s no way they can achieve that. I can always take my projects elsewhere and there’s nothing they can do to stop me.

There are other ways to fight ads, if it comes to that. But I won’t say what they are - just in case there are spies in our ranks.

There are other things that keep me away for the android version, no matter what menu they make. Things such as: • FFA doesn’t have actual dials (like Opera for desktop and for android (OA)). Instead it pins whatever it wants on the so called “home screen” and often pins the same page 5-6 times. Bleh! • if you happen to enter a “hole” in the reception, FFA loses connection with the outside world and the only thing that helps to fix it, is to reboot the phone. This used to be a thing with OA but I reported it and they fixed it like 3-4 years ago. • doesn’t have about:config. • doesn’t have even basic customization options, like setting up custom wallpaper in the browser, like OA does. Generally, Opera devs seem to be more responsive to user suggestions. I suggested about:config for FFA at least a year ago, if not even longer than a year, people supported it but FFA still doesn’t have about:config. So at this point I’m staying with the desktop version only (+ a fork of it) bc I can customize it in any way I want.

Hehe, thank you! 🙂

Plasma has a not so bad GTK integration which allows GTK apps to use plasma defaults. Also, GTK apps that weren’t written by Gnome also have some good integration with other desktops. Only those written by Gnome are hardcoded to use only GTK styles.

Yes, but IDK of any other way to change the buttons ISOmorph was asking about. The only other way is to find and change/remove them in FF source code and recompile which needs a supercomputer to do, otherwise it may take days to recompile. I assume he doesn’t want to waste days on recompiling, so that’s one way to change things. With GTK3-NOCSD (mostly + some other customizations) my title bar always looks the same way, no matter what changes Mozilla make to it:

This applies only if you update or reinstall. I stopped updating the whole system (permanently), except for a few independent programs, so I won’t have to do anything. :)

Is that as original as Windows 10’s desktop which was actually a glorified Plasma 5? 🤭

If Firefox is using GTK (GTK3 to be precise) to decorate the window, even in KDE, that might be some good news for him, altough I could be wrong bc I’ve never used Plasma for this long (30 days tops, long ago) to get to the point of wanting to change the title bar of anything. In Cinnamon (6.4.7) I’m using an old workaround for cases like this. It’s still somewhat maintained. I can’t guarantee it will work with Plasma but it doesn’t hurt to try: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gtk3-nocsd-git After installation, open (or create) ~/.XSession and put these two lines in it: export GTK_CSD=0 export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libgtk3-nocsd.so.0 and reboot.

This is how I’ve been replacing GEdit’s CSD with a normal title bar, as well as Firefox’s:

These sound like Spyware problems, not Firefox. I’m using FF for years on Linux and the browser has never been better and faster. Not a single of these problems!

I’m so happy it will be just for Spyware 11 and won’t ruin the look I’ve made for my Firefox on Linux! If they ever add this thing to the Linux version of FF, l’ll have to freeze it to the current version forever.

Gamivo and Kinguin, mostly. Also mediafire. Mediafire keeps saying “this form has been idle for too long”. All the browsers that have some kind of track blocking have this problem with these sites, regardless of the engine. Only Chrome and Chromium don’t have that feature and I have absolutely no problems to login to my profile.
