Mozilla Firefox aktualisieren: Ältere Browser-Versionen nach Freitag ohne gültiges Zertifikat https://www.computerbase.de/news/apps/mozilla-firefox-aktualisieren-aeltere-browser-versionen-nach-freitag-ohne-gueltiges-zertifikat.91758/ #mozilla #firefox #browser
"Users need to update their browsers to #Firefox 128 (released in July 2024) or later and ESR 115.13 or later for 'Extended Support Release' (ESR) users.
"On 14 March a root certificate (the resource used to prove an add-on was approved by Mozilla) will expire, meaning Firefox users on versions older than 128 (or ESR 115) will not be able to use their add-ons," warns a Mozilla blog post."

At last, starting from Firefox 137, Firefox will finally publish ARM64 (AArch64) builds as a Flatpak on Flathub!

So, I froze my #Firefox updates, some 8-9 months ago, back at the 128 release, just before the AI enshittification.
Now, I'm getting warnings that it'll stop working soon if I don't update.
I'm already 99% switched to #LibreWolf , and if my FF quits working, I'll just be uninstalling it.
It will be the first time I have not had Firefox on my machine(s) since they released version 0.5 back in 2002.
As promised, here is an interview with @ryanleesipes from #Thunderbird, on the whole #Mozilla and #Firefox terms of use situation.
We talk about why this had to happen, how Thunderbird will handle their own Terms of Use, what's happening at Mozilla, and what's changing.
Had a look at my Pi Hole blocked queries list and there are entries for:
incoming.telemetry.mozilla.org
I thought I had disabled all the 'phone home' functionality in Firefox, but it appears to be still sending telemetry. about:telemetry claims it is disabled but there are several telemetry settings set to true in about:config. I don't know how to turn these off in settings, the only option seems to be to set:
toolkit.telemetry.server
to an empty address.
Mozilla repeatedly calls Firefox an independent browser in their defense of why Google should keep funding the development. Independent?

Le nuove regole mozilla su firefox spiegate bene da @morrolinux
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/SZOZc9kck1E
mozilla si dimostra ancora una volta un'azienda della silicon valley, è tempo per passare a una alternativa più libera come librewolf?
How the great have fallen.
Can anyone using #firefox in #Ubuntu confirm, if you need to click "I agree" to use firefox ? Does it show ToS before you start using firefox ?
Clicking or not clicking "I agree" makes a crucial difference in mozilla getting your permission to use your data. Unlike proprietary software or services, you can get #firefox from a different source without agreeing to this shit. Just the name may be different or they might have made it better for you.
#mozilla #debian #librewolf #ironfox #gnomeweb
To nemyslíte vážně!
Někdo tip na mobilní #browser, kterej bude #opensource bez bullshitu?
@tomjennings
#LibreWolf and #Mullvad are both excellent #firefox forks which are still actually privacy respecting, along with #IronFox for #android.
I was trying to find the source of the “Mitchell Baker, Mozilla’s top executive, was paid $2.4m in 2018” in
https://calpaterson.com/mozilla.html
and finally found it in the Form 990 declaration.
In the 2023, according to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/foundation/annualreport/2024/
it’s… $6.2m 
#mozilla #firefox
(edit: it was $6.9m in 2022, better I guess?)
@job @tuxmain I think what Mozilla did to Debian packages is an exception to its trademark requirements
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=815006
"More generally, Mozilla trusts the Debian packagers to use their best judgment to achieve the same quality as the official Firefox binaries."
If there are specific issues that needs adding a patch, Debian should be able to do that, and in worst case, resurrect #iceweasel name if mozilla complains again.
