@freddy@social.security.plumbing Curious exactly how many critical/high #Firefox bugs were reported by #Mythos, vs how many were confirmed/accepted as such by your team?

@tito_swineflu@sfba.social Yeah. And, I dunno about you, but I use multiple profiles to keep different browsing-contexts wholly separate from others. So… Fortunately, for the last year, the only time I use #Chrome is when I need to run #AWS's #FleetManager (it's basically unusable under #Firefox). So, only the one profile has the file, currently.

Do you really need another reason to switch to @brave@mastodon.social or #Firefox at this point? From @alternativeto@mas.to: #Microsoft Edge found storing your passwords in plaintext #RAM for apparently no reason https://alternativeto.net/news/2026/5/microsoft-edge-found-storing-your-passwords-in-plaintext-ram-for-apparently-no-reason/

Google is an advertising company. Why would you expect honest searches from a company with profit incentives to show you bullshit ads? Also use Firefox already. 🤦‍♂️ Rant over. 😂 #google #firefox #commonsense #rant #foss #fuckcorporations

Firefox se actualizó, y al parecer "no recordó" que tenía instaladas las extensiones uBlock Origin y Sponsor Block... Es joda Mozilla? soy de los pocos que te quedan... #firefox #firefox150 #adblock #ublock

Today's #Firefox Nightly makes the profile backup feature available by default. The profile backup feature, when enabled, will take a snapshot of your profile and pack it into a single file that you can restore from on the same or a different machine. You can choose to encrypt the backup with a passphrase. In a recent #Firefox Nightly, visit about:settings#sync and scroll down to the Backup section to manage it.

(Linux news in previous posts) FOSS NEWS Odysee plans feature to play any YouTube video directly inside its app soon without ads: https://alternativeto.net/news/2026/2/odysee-plans-feature-to-play-any-youtube-video-directly-inside-its-app-soon-without-ads/ (Oh no, why the heck they want another legal trouble? I mean, it sounds good for the users, but it gives a reason to authorities to mess with them, and potentially sue them into bankruptcy, like they already did with their parent company, LBRY. Of course, NewPipe, Invidious, FreeTube, etc. do the same, but those are community projects, can't be attacked that easily, and even if they can be, they don't have that much to lose. In contrast, Odysee is a company, which employs people, who have to make a living. Also, it's a separate platform, which will be lost, if they lose the lawsuit (which is pretty likely, because authorities don't give a crap about digital freedom, only about the big corps' business, they don't consider YouTube datamining people a crime, but they do consider companies "hurting" big tech, see the YouTube Vanced case)) (And tbh, I personally prefer to watch YouTube videos without tying my watch history into an online account, FreeTube already offers a really solid experience) Firefox 148 Is Now Available for Download with AI Kill Switch and Other Changes: https://9to5linux.com/firefox-148-is-now-available-for-download-with-ai-kill-switch-and-other-changes Firefox 149 Enters Beta with Split View, More Robust HTTP/3 Upload Performance: https://9to5linux.com/firefox-149-enters-beta-with-split-view-more-robust-http-3-upload-performance Ladybird web browser begins Rust adoption, starting with JavaScript engine, with AI help: https://alternativeto.net/news/2026/2/ladybird-web-browser-begins-rust-adoption-starting-with-javascript-engine-with-ai-help/ Servo Browser Engine Starts 2026 With Many Notable Improvements: https://www.phoronix.com/news/Servo-January-2026 Thunderbird 148 Email Client Improves Accessibility in Various Tree Views: https://9to5linux.com/thunderbird-148-email-client-improves-accessibility-in-various-tree-views Ente launches Locker, a new open-source secure vault with end-to-end encryption: https://alternativeto.net/news/2026/2/ente-launches-locker-a-new-open-source-secure-vault-with-end-to-end-encryption/ (more FOSS news in comments) #WeeklyNews #OpenSource #FOSSNews #FOSS #OpenSourceNews #News #Odysee #YouTube #Firefox #Firefox148 #FirefoxBeta #Ladybird #Servo #Thunderbird #Ente #EnteLocker #Browser #EmailClient #WebBrowser #BrowserEngine #Email #FosseryTech

Something to look forward to for Firefox fans. It’s called Project Nova, the web browser’s first redesign in six years. With the revamp, Firefox aims to distinguish itself from Chrome and Edge by offering control over AI features while maintaining its focus on privacy.
