@fschaap @netopwibby yeah, but why is it in the drawer (besides #FirefoxOS being let to die prematurely)...

We may be aware of Firefox OS' existance in the past but it was never even tried to be sold anywhere to any effect.

  • And believe me, both @fuchsiii and I tried to get our hands on any device that came with it and I've never heard of the #ZTE Open C before, much less any device being sold in #Germany which is absolutely flabberghasting to me given that in the late 2000s and early 2010s #Mozilla #Firefox was the dominant #Browser in Germany and thus had the best chance to leverage that customer base with good integrations like #MozillaPocket / #FirefoxPocket.

I still love #Fennec aka. #FirefoxMobile but I'm still mad at @Mozilla for not even trying to sell me a device, cuz I was at the time literally shouting: "#ShutUpAndTakeMyMoney!" and searched the (back then 4) MNOs' and their (half a dozen) MVNOs' stores (both retail and online) and never came across a Firefox OS device.

  • Same with (online) electronics retailers: NONE of them even had a single listing when I looked for those.

Which reminds me of the (coined by me term) "#RedBlueIndex" [named after the parent company that owns both #Saturn and #MediaMarkt, the two biggest, spechalized electronics retailers]:

  • If you can't find a product on shelf at Saturn/MediaMarkt, it doesn't exist in the minds and conciousness of the average #consumers!

A not very famous add-on which works in #Firefox :fox: and derivatives (such as #Fennec, #LibreWolf,...) is Archive Page addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firef and for Android I use the app "Share 2 Archive Today" f-droid.org/packages/org.gnosc

In both cases with just one/two clicks you can #archive a webpage in archive.today or archive.is which is nice to get a frozen/saved state of a webpage to share. Sometimes it has also the "inconvenient" that it skips most #paywalls.

Both are #FreeSoftware.

@genodeftest Das ist jetzt irgendwie eine Binsenweisheit, da der Auslöser ja schon ein abzuschätzendes Risiko ist, das anderen gegenüber gestellt wird. Also keine neue Info oder andere Situation. Da ich #Debian stable nutze, bin ich eh immer spät dran mit firefox updates 😉😂 Bezüglich der maintainer und Sicherheitsupdates hast Du m. E. Recht. Man kann #mozilla nur wünschen, daß sie auf den Pfad der Tugend zurückfinden. #firefox ist für mich aktuell tot.
