Mozilla is paving the way for bringing support for Progressive Web Apps back to Firefox. They'll still look and function like browser tabs rather than standalone apps, but they'll show up more like apps in the OS as "taskbar tabs." #Mozilla #Firefox #TaskbarTabs #ProgressiveWebApps #WebApps #WebBrowsers https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2025/03/firefox-nightly-supports-web-apps-taskbar-tabs

Firefox's upcoming web apps feature won't work the same as in other browsers - but it's better than nothing https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2025/03/firefox-nightly-supports-web-apps-taskbar-tabs

I am officially #Mozilla free:

#Firefox ------------------> #Waterfox
Firefox Dev Editon --> Waterfox extra profile
#Thunderbird ------------> Evolution

And thanks for all the fish...

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.

Mozilla repeatedly calls Firefox an independent browser in their defense of why Google should keep funding the development. Independent?

Me: Please don't use Chromium-based browsers, use Firefox instead. Google has way too much control over the web because of Chromium and they'll be sure to leverage that in order to benefit themselves.

Chromium: Hey all, we're getting rid of ad-blockers because it's cutting into our record-breaking revenue! I mean, uh, we're deprecating Manifest V2 for, uh, security. Yeah.

Me: See? Please use Firefox. ​

Mozilla: Hey friends, AI is really cool! *steps on rake* Hey friends, we're making an ads business! *steps on rake* Hey friends, we have a ToS with either the most nefarious or the most incompetent language ever! *steps on rake* Also AI is cool!!!

Me: ... ​ I hate it here.

With the latest debacle around #Firefox and #Mozilla. How is this affecting #Thunderbird ?

I’ve been contacted by someone close to the #Mozilla story. They’ll gather some more info and we’ll record an interview to shed light on how this came to be, and what’s being done to try and improve things at Mozilla from the inside.

Stay tuned!

Do the recent changes to #Firefox apply to #Thunderbird as well? #enshittification #tech

#Mozilla

sudo pacman -R thunderbird

Removed Thunderbird too. I'll just use the web interface for my email - which is not a big tech company provider.

It's a shame Mozilla is compromising itself to sell out it's users with the changes to its ToS.

Quick, less edited video to talk about the #Mozilla and #Firefox issue with their recent terms of use, and lackluster explanations:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rc96ISKh2OM

Ppl have a #google account and are promoting the deletion of the #mozilla account.

Ppl are playing shit on Firefox devs, but forget that these forks will probably die if Firefox ends.

I understand the anger behind all this, but cmon! Not even by 1000x that Firefox was shitfied it would equalize the other alternatives.

I will not be hypocritical, I will continue to use #firefox bcs it is the only not chromium viable alternative. I don't need to use soft forks with settings I can do.

Now that's a pull request worth following if I ever saw one

> Restore "Does Firefox sell your personal data?" entry within structured-data-firefox-faq.html

#Mozilla #Privacy

Mozilla CEO made around 7 million USD last year, but hosting bills are pending. Now, they updated the ToS, and you can't watch p0rn, or your data will be sold, or they no longer care about the orignal mission, etc. Once again, we see C-suits lose their grip on reality. As long as they are getting paid in millions, software projects can go to /dev/null. It is like they want to ruin the project on purpose. There is no other explanation I can think of. Can you?

Old geeks may remember paying for #Netscape once upon a time, although it wasn't required.

If #Mozilla charged for a "clean" version of #Firefox without all the #enshittification, would you pay?

#poll

#Mozilla isn’t addressing the number one question: why did they remove this section from their #firefox terms of services?

> * Does Firefox sell your personal data?

> Nope. Never have, never will. And we protect you from many of the advertisers who do. Firefox products are designed to protect your privacy. That’s a promise.

Putain j'en peux plus @mozillaofficial ajoute des term of use à Firefox pour "royalty-free, worldwide license" sur nos données.

I can't blame a single person for switching to a #Firefox fork today (or last month!). I may do so myself.

But just remember that those forks exist because of the hard work of engineers at #Mozilla (in spite of the continual idiocy of the management).

If Mozilla folds tomorrow, what happens to the forks?

Maybe someone with deep pockets like the Linux Foundation will step up and continue maintaining Firefox and keeping it up-to-date with current web "standards" (sarcastic laugh)?

It's not a good day for the free and open web. :(

Looks like we all need to find replacements for #Firefox and #Thunderbird.

I'm trying out LibreWolf on Windows, but what can replace Thunderbird that's cross platform (Win, Mac, Linux, at least)? SeaMonkey, maybe? Is that independent from Mozilla?

#Mozilla seems intent on profit at the expense of users.

Anyone know if the #Mozilla #Firefox ToU shenanigans also impact #Thunderbird, or do I need to look for a new email client too?
