    They added features that benefit power users and developers? I’m sure someone at Mozilla will be fired for this soon enough

        It’s something you can disable, and work is already been done to allow the user to further customize it.

      That’s likely a mistake that will be corrected before the stable release. /s

    Using Firefox to post on Lemmy - feels good man.

    Having said that, Firefox would be much better if Mozilla would spend their resources on improving the browser instead of random shenanigans.

    I’ve been wondering for quite a while what the “Actions” entry in the Search settings does. I suppose this feature has been planned for some time now, but they just never bothered to implement it. No idea why the had that shortcut present though.

    I wish they could just bring back PWA’s. The PWA extension doesn’t work with the dumb snap Firefox.

          Well I’m not really opposed to it but if someone forces me to use something, I won’t. And snap Firefox is sandboxed meaning extensions that requires a separate plug-in won’t work.

                  Probably…not? Idk I’m not the ‘know it all guy’. It’s just inconvenient when I sudo apt install Firefox and it installs it from snap tho.

              I’ve heard that snaps are great for servers, which is where Ubuntu is focused these days. Also, they want people to use their homemade technology instead of Flatpaks, which are much better for desktop users from my understanding.

                flatpaks are what you get when you use the sudo apt install right?

                  No, apt usually gives you native .deb installs. Flatpak and Snap are two different container technologies for distributing apps.

          Its simply because its slow and bulky and the snap store is not open source and themes wont work on it.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
