I didn't anticipate just how much I'd enjoy having the dark theme being extended to the menu and new tab page.

Maybe they can extend it to the blank page you see when opening a link in a new tab before it loads the page, I've taken to instinctively shutting my eyes for a few seconds when using Firefox on my phone at night.

RSS feeds and Live Bookmarks are getting the heave-ho in 62 or 63. Gutted. Any extensions picking up the slack?

From like a month ago, but RE: firefox making windows wake back up I think it's due to the video-playback disabling autosleep so it doesn't shutdown 10 minutes into a 30-minute youtube video. That's been my experience anyway, it's either gotten confused about the state when I closed a tab that was playing, or there's some lovely autoplay video on a garbage website that's demanding your machine stay awake for it.

Pocket is hot garbage, but I find Reader mode useful to convert big news articles and blog posts into easier to read formatting even on desktop.

Live bookmarks going away will just gut me. There is nothing that can replicate it. Web extensions doesn't have the apis necessary to allow it to be remade. I've used them for as long as I've used Firefox (and I've been using it since it was called Phoenix) and they have become a part of my browsing flow. I hate you Mozilla.

If pocket is bad, maybe recommend an (open source) alternative, because I haven't found anything for "read later, tag appropriately"-situations.

I switched to Feedbro after my previous RSS ticker extension that used my Live Bookmarks for the feed list died. Sucked converting all the bookmarks over but it seems to work as advertised. No opinion on Pocket, I haven't used it. If they add RSS scanning so that I'll get alerted for updates without drowning me in stuff I've already read I'll consider it though.

The Milkman posted:Pocket is good, people just have a grudge against it because Mozilla sullied their precious default toolbar with a button for it Pocket is fine, whatever. If I actually wanted to use Pocket, I'd use Pinboard. Pocket is a lovely replacement for live bookmarks. Live bookmarks live in the bookmarks and are an easy way to see a single site's recent content. Pocket is build around consolidated flow. (This also applies to full-feature newsreaders.) Live bookmarks getting removed with Pocket suggested as what people should switch to makes my senses go off. Pocket is an ad-based service and I can't help but wonder if this was an intentional kill to push use of a revenue generator.

I did a bit of googling, and a pocket alternative you can host yourself is shiori https://github.com/RadhiFadlillah/shiori I've installed it, you can import your pocket list together with tags. Seems ok.

If I only want to read the text and not use image galleries etc, I press the reader view button and save as PDF. On mobile at least. On my laptop the page usually just holds.

I keep things I want to read later open in a tab and then when I get too many of them I shove them into OneTab.

It says right in the thing: the artists at Mozilla think that the current logo is hard to make derivatives of while keeping all of them looking like they "belong" together. If you look at the gallery, it gives you a better idea of what they're doing (and it shows how the actual Firefox logo probably won't change too much).

they need derivative designs for other mozilla projects that they want to tie into firefox branding (because firefox is still their most successful project) the better question is "why is a non-profit foundation so obsessed with branding and re-branding?"
