And, while I like old hardware, the first x86-64 chips shipped in 2003. So, this is not exactly a Windows 11 situation.
Hardware older than that is going to struggle with modern browsers. A PC from that era would probably have less than 1 GB of RAM and perhaps a max RAM well under 4 GB (the theoretical limit). Using older software versions is probably best anyway.
FizzGood update.
I’d like to see Firefox password manager be separated from the browser. Using a browser password manager just sucks because it doesnt work outside the browser. The sync is good enough to make me happy paying$1 a month for.
For tab groups they need to add the ability to auto move certain sites into the group the ai suggestion sucks and it doesnt autocollect tabs so its pointless.
For containers I’d like to see them add a default container to open with.
I thought Mozilla also has a separate app for passwords
Nah they have one for checking passwords in breaches. The only password manager they have is the one built into Firefox and thats great but i want one for my phone when i log into apps.
Here’s what I meant https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/end-of-support-firefox-lockwise
QuarterSwedeFor gods sake please support non-hardware token passkeys like everyone else (you know, the QR Code type). I literally can’t login to some services in Linux Firefox because I have passkeys in Apple’s passwords app. I don’t want to use Chrome in *nix but I have to for the time being.
Communistbitwarden?
Wouldn’t matter. Firefox on Linux doesn’t support any of them.
netvorOT, but I feel like ~~I keep seeing more of these “foo 1.2.3 released” announcements here on this channel.
~~
Is it on topic, though? Shouldn’t the channel be more about Linux specific topics, rather than place for people to discuss updates of arbitrary selection of apps which just share the fact that they also run on Linux?
Edit: Technically the “I feel like” part was true but looking at the topic post .. factually I’m totally wrong; it’s like 1 in 20 at most.
“Firefox no longer supports 32-bit Linux systems. We recommend installing the 64-bit version for continued updates and support”
And I thought only Microsoft create e-waste.
OinksAll of the 5 people who use (non-ESR) Firefox on their 2002 Pentium 4s will certainly be very unhappy about this.
SavvyWolfIt’s open source. If 32 bit support is important enough, people can fork and maintain it.
What e-waste? Your computer still works, you can install other browsers and apps 🤷♂️

raoulraoulI wanna say, “sarcasm?” 👏👏👏 At least, that’s how I’m reading it.
On the one hand, the PDF editing feature could be useful, but on the other, it’s a sign of yet more feature creep and I don’t know whether I’m justified in feeling concerned about it.
The loss of support for 32 bit Linux systems feels like a bit of a concern, use of older hardware just for web browsing is no longer possible.
For what it’s worth, Pale Moon can still be built for 32-bit Linux ( fish through contributed builds, or build your own). Sufficient for many, many sites, although a few will break or require workarounds.
Yup, i personally own various 32 bit machines that are completely usable in daily driving but the steady decline of supported programs to run on them is forcing them into more “retro computing” roles. Honestly, its a shame…
Still no HDR.
Exactly what I was looking for in the update… mad that it still isn’t in
This update nuked my firefox shortcut on the desktop. That was kind of annoying.
Downvoted for not giving any sort of summary of the larger features and fixes
Can you not just click and read the web page? It seems to be all there.
Until it’s not, which Is the biggest problem that I have with so called “link aggregators”.
What is the use of a decentralized network of communities if all the material can still be nuked from outside?
How relevant are Firefox release notes after the subsequent release? That’s one resource I don’t mind not being archived.
Meant more in general. But yeah for release notes of an opensource product it might not be directly necessary.
Yeah well it is.
Just go click the link and stop bullshitting.
Make me, boy wonder (ง’̀-‘́)ง
No I’ll just block you, I can’t stand dealing with petulant little turd bags like you.
Spiderman’s pointing at each other meme
And blocked
The Firefox browser itself tells me there is an update. An update could be interesting to read about here and if so I think it makes sense to make the case with the highlights. Like, why did you find it interesting enough to put here?
Personally, I’m pretty inclined to downvote any post that is a link without a short summary or context. I appreciate that’s not everyone.
And personally I think it’s important to say why you downvote. The poster can choose what to do with that information and I’ve got no expectations for them to change how they do things
Why? The summary of Firefox release notes is the Firefox release notes.
I agree there should be a summary for other things, esp. videos or long articles, but for release notes, they’re already generally in a condensed format. This one is a few pictures with a couple sentences explaining what’s new in them.
What’s new:
And honestly I’d stop there and say “and more”
Why post it here? I personally don’t think every Firefox release is interesting enough to post to the !technology@lemmy.world channel so when a release is interesting enough to post here I figure there are reasons and that they are easy to note along with the URL.
I suspect most people have some feelings are the same because I suspect most people would be unimpressed if the channel included every minor release of everyone’s torch apps. The exact reasons something is interesting varies for people. For some people anything Firefox might be enough. For others it might only be interesting when they do something big like trying to come up with a new solution for tracking ads. Since its a community, I kind of think a good post needs to include the highlights of what is meant to be interesting to help out the others in the community, especially if they might not naturally see the same things as interesting
Also, the summary of the release notes is not the release notes. You cared about every dot point in those release notes equally? There are no larger broad changes?
