If you don’t know then install it and find out. Back in early 2000 it was the single greatest advancement in browser technology brought by Opera.

Whilst I’d like to see some kind of revival, or even revolution, in the browser market here - it does look as if Mozilla are setting out a future business plan which simply does not include Firefox… and if Firefox dips below 2% it will be sidelined as an alternative browser no longer supported.

'nuff said.

Firefox will not force an update - but it will tell you to restart to continue AFTER it has been updated… learn to control your updates, don’t use Firefox as a Snap if that’s what’s going on.

Very doubtful.

I just tag them when I make them.

Is this thread intended for 1. Android/mobile users 2. iOS/mobile users 3. People with computers/mouse/keyboard or what? It seems most Lemmy threads are pretty exclusively aimed at mobile users.

This works fine for me… I had 4 browsers installed last year, so had a variety - like Plex/Overseer/Sonarr opening with Falkon browser and translate with Chrome.

Haha marketing is what it is… a joke I made up some 30 years ago was that, despite what we see on the surface - the evidence proves that women are disgusting, dirty, fat, ugly animals that need a vast array of products to be created so that they can go outside without offending everyone…

So yes, you’re right to find this ridiculous and offensive - but at the heart of it is simple greed, which is the real meaning of the American Dream.

You’re joking, right?

My computer is set to 1. Warn me at 9.25 to accept or cancel suspension at 9.30. 2. Set volume to 10% and suspend at 9.30 (just in case it gets woken up, I once woke it up at 4am and had a radio application wake up the family). 3. RTC Wake set to 5.59 4. 6.25am my wakeup music plays.

I have suspend, also hybrid - where it will suspend, and after a certain time (useful for laptops, mine’s set for 12 hours so I never hit this unless I go on holiday) it’ll hibernate.

Fundamental error - as usual with Windows news.

These ‘Start Menu Ads’ aren’t rolling out to everyone, I have zero ‘Start Menu Ads’. In fact, I have Zero Ads in my operating system.

Why must Windows news always assume that everyone runs Windows? Isn’t this the main bug with all operating systems?

This is a pretty dumb question - I would always expect a double-click to fullscreen, and a single click to pause/play on any video in any video player.

The decision was probably made many years ago for the very simple reason that clicking specific targets is much more difficult, so enabling people to use scroll wheel and mouse buttons to do things is a very efficient method of control.

Stupid people don’t read anything when they install, then they complain they didn’t ask for this…

It’s very clearly communicated when you install and set it up.

• × Allow Firefox to automatically install updates (recommended)
• ✔ Check for updates but let you choose to install them.
• × Use a background service to install updates.

Doesn’t Ctrl+D do that?

I’d go with ‘session manager’ rather than bookmarking… Sounds like you just have too many tabs to manage easily.

Yup, they should label it ‘Automatic Updates - for Idiots Only’ with a checkbox…

Yet another reason never to use Snaps. Why would you allow Ubuntu to force you to use the bloated Snap package?

If that happens, you should recover from a snapshot… I never experienced this unless the profile folder was damaged or lost.

That’s a Linux (and similar) issue. When Linux updates via it’s package managers it will update Firefox in the background even though it’s open.

This is fundamentally wrong. If you are using Firefox on Linux, you would not update at a time when you’re working - because you KNOW that you have to restart it.

It is considered a ‘User Error’ if they update their system and then complain later that they’re unhappy that they suddenly need to restart something.

Yup, this is called ‘User Error’. User messes it up, User blames the software.
