It still uses node.js, right? Since it is new and for the future, why not choosing deno?

I really liked reading this. I never used TenFourFox (no Mac user at all) but occasionally came across its blog posts because it is in the planet.mozilla.org RSS feed.

I really liked how the motivation and problems for a (hobbyist) OSS project of this scale are written out.

This made it an interesting read for me - I'd say for actually almost anybody somewhat related to unpaid FOSS.

On a second note it is a shame that there are no harder governmental restrictions that hardware has to be supported by its software for a certain time. So much (forced!) waste on resources because the manufacturer wants to sell its next-generation... There are a lot of phones - still good enough hardware - but you cannot get updates for it after 3 years...

The complement book "Started with MicroPython" at https://www.raspberrypi.org/products/micropython-pico/ looks like a nice present for kids. Would be great if it was available in other languages (for example, german).

Anybody knows if translations of the book are planned?

Looks nice, but I'd need an easy web client too. Currently, I use ticktick (android app and web).

It crashes sometimes (about twice a week for me), but it's Preview Nightly what I use. I would suggest you uninstall and reinstall (from Google Play). Maybe it helps.

Where does it say it was bought? It talks about a new investor:

> we have found a new investor in Montefiore Investment, who have replaced our former shareholder!

Am I missing something?

News post about it:

A site of mine is also hosted as their PAAS at Luxembourg, but was luckily not effected. Probably my site was on another storage unit ("on one of our ZFS storage units").

PS I also always thought that the snapshots were backups.

This is the up-to-date documentation for this:

thanks. Didn't know the author is reading here :)

on an unrelated note there's some discussion at https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/agja9z/stretch_a_flex... you might be interested in.

> We have over 250 tests passing, most of which are autogenerated from running the same layout in Chrome. This ensures web-compatibility and overall correctness.

So if it outputs like Chrome, then it is web-compatible? While I understand this from a practical point of view, this is also clearly a result of render engine mono-culture.

Let's see how innovation goes within a 5-10 year time frame if everything is bound to Google Chrome.

Yes, here's a link on how to do this, takes 5min:

Yes, Tracking Protection https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/tracking-protection will be ON by default in Firefox 65.

They will also block all third party cookies effectively blocking most ads. Chrome or Chromium would never build in such a feature and make it ON by default. Because tracking and personalized ads are there business model.

> I can't hide the tab bar at the top as far as I know.

It could be easier, but still doable in 5 minutes (that's how long it took me) with some CSS, see https://github.com/piroor/treestyletab/wiki/Code-snippets-fo... on how to do it.

There seem to be some security concern or it's not so easy UX wise, see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1332447 for all the discussions and progress.

True, but it got better with about:profiles (enter this in the address bar in firefox)

This new site looks really awesome and really got me into why not trying rust the next time I'll write a hundred LOC bash script.

Much better than the previous version. I had a Wow effect yesterday on mobile and now seeing it again on desktop, it's till wow! Strange that there are so many negative arguments here.

Also really interesting to learn about the fireflower problem - there's some truth in it! Applicable to so many things in live...

LOL, this sounds like from the Silicon Valley TV show. Please everybody tell your parents you're using such a service and see how they'll break down in laughter ;)

For everyone looking for an alternative, Brief is an excellent add-on and I've been using it for the last 2 years:

AMO: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/brief/

GitHub: https://github.com/brief-rss/brief

It also includes a `Page action` so that an RSS icon is shown in the address bar on sites that support RSS/Atom. Great for discovery.

Edit: Really strange, that `Brief` is missing in the curated list of readers that mozilla is linking to from https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/feed-reader-replacement... as alternative: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/collections/mozilla... (This looks like a really poor list) I've seen `Brief` recommended all the time by users. I don't really mind that Firefox removes its RSS support: It was missing many features anyway and had a really poor UX.

Does gmail really not work in another browser like Firefox? Seriously? How is this possible?

We have used WooCommerce for 4 years now and are very happy with it: https://woocommerce.com/

I am a big fan of RSS feeds but have never used the built-in reader, but the add-on brief. Highly recommended to follows blogs, reddit or any kind of forum:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/brief/

The strength of youtube-dl is that – contradictionary to its name – there are `extractors` for almost every streaming, video, tv or radio website:

https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/tree/master/youtube_dl/ext...

I always use it to rip TV or radio shows from German public stations

+1 for Posteo, but they do not offer custom domains. See 3rd question at https://posteo.de/en/site/faq

The blog article on HIBP goes a bit into more technical detail:

FWIW, the 50k are for fixing this bug: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1203503

Thanks I'll file a bug if I see it again on a GitHub page. In fact, the last days I haven't noticed it anymore on GitHub pages...

But, of course as stated in https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1404468#c43 there a sites like http://www.jeuxvideo.com/ which huge (1-2sec) FOUC in Firefox (not noticable in Chrome).

> Sometimes I can even see "naked" plain text page for a moment, before styling is applied (ex: on GitHub pages.

Yes, I've seen the same on GitHub. Note sure this is a GitHub or Firefox bug. (I use Nightly). Could you maybe file a bug at bugzilla for this?

See, sibling post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16647116 Please record a profile and report this.

Here's what I do in such situations:

1. Record a profile with the Gecko Profiler WebExtension (Install it from https://perf-html.io/)

2. Upload the profile to https://perf-html.io/

3. Create a bug on https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ with a link to this performance profile.

The Firefox developers are friendly and welcome, and I'd say in about 50-75% of cases the bugs get fixed in a timely manner.

I wonder if and how Waterfox or Palemoon can keep up with these security issues? (Disclosure: I am a Firefox Nightly user)

Have you looked at about:performance and also when you hit this, then create a perf profile using https://perf-html.io/ and submit it as a bug to bugzilla.mozilla.org. If possible do both using Nightly. In my experience the developers are very(!) welcome to good bug reports.
