I cheat on Vivaldi with Firefox 😇

Stardust

No, never heard about this addon.

And in breaking news, crowds have left the arena in shock at the magnitude of the victory. Not even the most enthusiastic sports fans expected the final score to have such a large differential; an unprecedented 92.9 points win to the Purpley-Turquoise team. Most commentators expect the Reds coach will be disappointed, & will need to bring forward their plans for Terrific-Solutions-Totally.

Or looked at another way, FF version 98 is almost as good as V version 5.1 will be

Note: To be fair I'm talking just browser - extensions do not count!!

@tbgbe Oh wow, look who just popped by here!

@guigirl said in I cheat on Vivaldi with Firefox :

Do any of you cheaty-foxxers happen to use the Sidebery Add-On? If yes, have you been able to make it successfully let you drag & drop your tabs in it?

I do, and the drag and drop works fine.
My biggest pain point with it is the lack of search, I made a pull request for it, but they haven't looked at it yet https://github.com/mbnuqw/sidebery/pull/546

I understand almost none of this tech content, but am posting it here on basis of seeing its mention of Manifest Version 3:

As part of the ongoing work related to Manifest Version 3 WebExtensions, we have introduced a new nsIServiceWorkerManager.wakeForExtensionAPIEvent method to spawn an active background service worker when the related extension has received an API event to be handled by the background script – Bug 1728327

Put away your popup-banners Mozilla!
Disgusting!

@juanvase And, fwiw, it works nicely in KDE Wayland

@stardust I still think there's something insufficient in your settings [ie, both about:config & in uBO], coz this is iirc the second time you've posted about something that i never see here.

guigirl

So, now we know.

@juanvase Nice.

Fwiw, my own file. I definitely emphatically do NOT claim the stuff in it is the best way of doing things, coz i'm just a muddler ... but posting in case someone might find something useful.

Other notable changes in Firefox 69 include:

guigirl 3/1/22:   Some time ago i included that preference in my `user.js`.

guigirl 1/2/19:   "How do I show more than 7 folders in the Bookmarks "Choose" list (need a taller dropdown!)?" https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1198233
This is great, & solves an irritant i've had with this FF detail for yonks. Note that i increased the 20em to 40em to use almost all of my available height. Noice. 
12/2/19:   Having recently increased the System Font size from 8pt to 10pt [sigh], this BM dropdown now extends below the screen-base, obscuring the Save button. I've remedied it now by reducing above the 40em to 34em. 
11/4/21:   History repeats - several weeks ago i further increased the Plasma default font size, now is 11pt, but only just now realised it's again pushed the BM UI bottom out of sight below the screen bottom edge, hence... now tweaked the following again, to 30em
18/4/21:   Wtf, somehow it's now again below the bottom, so here's yet another reduction, now to 27em.

This allows me to more conveniently watch eg ABC iView via AddOn "Open in Sidebar" more comfortably, otherwise is too small. As such, this bridges yet another gap with Vivaldi, which until now gave superior behaviour for iView [etc] in its Web Panels coz they can open wider than the default FF Sidepanel. With this new tweak, i can drag the FF SP as wide as i like, giving me great utility.

guigirl 20/1/21:   I noticed yesterday in FF-Nightly 86.0a1 that when i open a bookmarks folder having so many bookmarks that the TST scrollbar appears [which is good proper behaviour], an unpleasant new co-appearance is that at the top of the main FF UI window, immediately below the window header-bar, a narrow new bar appears. It's completely empty other than a little down-arrow at this bar's LHS edge. When hovered/clicked, it reveals itself to be the "list all tabs" button. That would be ok, except that it cannot be manually hidden again, it & its containing bar remain visible even once all the surplus tabs have been closed, & the height of this bar necessarily displaces the url-bar & the bookmarks-bar downwards by that same #pixels, ergo undesirably encroaching into the webpage space. 
I found various workarounds... despite being now almost 5 years old, this one still looked promising ...  ... so i tried it. YES, it works!

Heehee, geek philosophy.

Firefox is to other browsers, as Linux is to Windows.

Birds, 2
Stones, 1.

Somewhat confusing for a dweeb like moi, but nevertheless it seems quite promising.

@lostinmath I'm unsure who you are, what you believe our alluded history is, or why with your strange 24-hour flurry of posts you've weirdly decided to start trolling me, but hereafter you can save your effort. As soon as i post this, i'm blocking you.

Nice move Mozilla!
Since when you are now friends with Meta/Facebook?

advertising called Interoperable Private Attribution, or IPA

How about call it PIA instead? And sure there should be a word "Private"

@stardust Oh dear.

Btw, you seem to have been quiet lately. I presumed you'd bravely gone over the edge.
