How to disable the Firefox smart tab bullshit

  1. Type about:config in URL bar and open it, accept risks
  2. Search browser.tabs.groups.smart.enabled
  3. Set it to false

Done.

As I am browsing through the settings in firefox I see the odd setting of using it's own DNS over https enabled. My settings should be copied over from the account I use and I know that I've **never** turned this setting on.

I'm now on the SBC Pi5 running MX Linux Pi respin.

My own dns config is perfectly fine and Im changing it back.

Why is the firefox team doing this? IS there any protective benifit from having this setting on?

Bon je poste ça parce que ça pourrait rendre service à certains si vous voulez minimiser le trafic réseau (web) d'une machine:
Il existe une extension Firefox qui force la mise en cache des fonts, images, scripts et feuilles de style pour 6 mois.
addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/
(Les sources sont inspectables : github.com/rimu/cache-longer)

(Et n'oubliez pas qu'il suffit de faire un Maj+bouton Recharger la page pour forcer le rechargement de tout en ignorant le cache.)

Will you block Mozilla Firefox?

Meta is counting on many people answering “no” to that question — especially among those it believes would oppose AI.

For years, Facebook has been building sociological profiles of individuals likely to resist a multi-billion dollar corporation.

And that’s exactly what they’re using against people right now.

I am surprised #Japan 🇯🇵 is forcing #Apple to allow alternative browser engines on #iPhone, #iPad & (maybe‽) #AppleWatch too.

However, I do not see much competition in the browser market nowadays. It is either WebKit (Safari), Blink (a fork of WebKit that Chromium is based on) or Gecko (for #FireFox).

Firefox's in-built translation tool is so incredibly handy.

Oh this page is 100% in German and their EN tag fires you to the homepage? No problem to the internet's panda of choice; translated to English in a jiffy!

firefox users of mastodon; is there any way to edit firefox autofill data for NON-PASSWORD / ADDRESS forms, ie anything else firefox tries to so helpfully autofill?

not to disable that feature, but to edit the data :blobhaj_thinking:

SOLVED: Had to edit the formhistory.sqlite file inside an sqlite editor and just copypaste another already existing entry that I knew of to make new ones, thank you all for the help - issue resolved - hope this toot helps someone else with this issue!
