Yeah I re-enabled HTTP3 and it keeps working. It's the telemetry servers that cause it to break. Which means that a third party server could possibly also trigger the same bug in Firefox, just by having the user visit a specific URL.

I'm just going to keep HTTP3 off since who knows what other servers I'll run into that might trigger it.

Mozilla turned off HTTP3 on the telemetry servers, so disabling telemetry but keeping HTTP3 enabled will not prevent this bug

I have no idea how this would even happen, but as soon as I updated to the newest Firefox version, a bunch of my sites started displaying in "dark theme" on sites that support it, including Google and Twitch. When I access the same sites with Chrome, they're in the normal default white theme. I don't even see a setting for this in Firefox's settings. I want to love you, Firefox, so why do you keep doing this kind of poo poo?

Are Firefox or Windows is running a dark theme? That's how many sites like to implement dark mode.

Apparently it's something the sites are doing: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/96.0/releasenotes/ quote:Added CSS color-scheme support to allow web pages to indicate which color schemes they can be rendered with (for example, operating system dark mode).

The Merkinman posted:What site(s)? Do any dark mode sites work in Chrome? Why not? All of my sites displayed in light mode until the newest Firefox update installed this morning. Now they display in light mode in Chrome and dark mode in Firefox. So it's definitely a Firefox thing. If I manually change Google (for example) to dark mode while using Chrome, then it does display in dark mode in Chrome. It's just a really weird change to suddenly make.

On one hand I like that Firefox's settings pages are kept fairly clean, but having to go into about :whatever to change things can be cryptic.

That sounds ... reasonable? It's a niche problem, but one very few companies are in a position to handle. Of course, if the participants are limited to firefox users there may be some problems with trying to generalise your findings to all web users.

This thread helped me out with this problem before, but I can't remember what the solution was- Essentially, I've got a brand new Windows install, therefore a new Firefox/user and my address bar's autocomplete doesn't work the way I've been used to for years and years. For example, "gm" would autocomplete with Gmail.com and I could just hit enter. Now firefox merely "Suggests" gmail.com and I have down Down Arrow + Enter to navigate. I think this is because the URL changes once I hit enter to https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/ I know it's a really minor complaint, but after like 15 years of "gm+Enter" being gmail, it's very jarring having to add in the down arrow. I can't think of any other examples off the top of my head, but there's a bunch of other sites that have had the URL change over the years that's also loving with this muscle memory edit; My old personal hard drive died so I can't just like, log in there and grab any user profile files either

Is it normal for firefox to selectively delete entries in my history? I was looking for a site I was at a few days ago and found it where I expected it, but while browsing history I noticed for some reason all the entries of when I past visited wordle was gone. Only the most recent visit today is on the list.
|
# ? Feb 10, 2022 22:28 |

Firefox never stores duplicate history entries for multiple visits to the exact same URL. The "places" database which drives history has one row for each unique URL, and if you visit it again it just increments the visit counter by 1, it doesn't create a separate row. Wordle is the same site and URL every time so it won't appear multiple times in the history. It's less an exact audit log of every site you visit in perfect order and more an aggregation of all the sites you've visited, ordered by the recency of your latest visit. Otherwise there would be heaps of duplicate entries for every time you refreshed your Twitter feed or whatever.

I remember when Places was meant to launch in Firefox 2 and it was delayed 18 months to Firefox 3. It was a really cool feature. Pity we shall never see those days again, with exciting releases with months of buildup. Still, rapid release is better overall.

↑ I don't think anyone noticed your day-late edit, so here's a bump for the thread. Mozilla and Meta (Facebook) are now actually working together: quote:Mozilla, owner and developer of the Firefox browser, has attacked Facebook (now Meta) many times over the years for the company’s disastrous record on privacy and security. However, the two companies are now working together on a proposal for slightly more private online advertising, which is already drawing criticism from long-time fans of Mozilla.

Conversion is an event where you inherently lose your anonymity. You click an ad and then you buy poo poo = the company you're buying poo poo from knows your name. So if this thing means the company now won't know exactly which ad I clicked before buying poo poo, that counts as an improvement I suppose. IDGI though, I don't think this solves anything for anybody. It looks like this is mostly a Facebook thing rather than a Mozilla thing, and I don't get what Facebook gets out of it.

Aside from the fact I use uBlock Origin on any browser because I'm not a loving animal, I don't think I've ever deliberately clicked on an ad. In my recent mucking around with Linux distros, for the craic I sometimes go to random sites before I install UO and some of them are absolutely unusable. Great example is http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/index.html - it's a British tabloid piece of poo poo that I sometimes take a look at for the hyperbole, and without a content blocker it is absolutely horrifying. What are ads like these days for the accuracy of serving up stuff one might actually be interested in?
