Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

someone in the mood to confirm a bug with me? I think this is new. Seeing this with F115 (on linux) on a clean, new profile. The code didn't change. (fedia.io)

I used to be able to listen to a big audio file in a streaming manner when loaded from goldfire/howler.js library.

The new behaviour is: firefox will download the whole file before starting to play.

Example: (25MB bytes down will occur) https://jsfiddle.net/ugnt03jo/1/ -> click Run in upper left to render html

  • if you have traffic stats on your system you'll see bytes trickling in the moment you render the html - not when you click the Play button. This is acknowledged in the devtools network-tab after it is fetched in full
  • until fetched in full, the Play button will not stream the audio file

Is there a Keyboard Shortcut to put the focus on Firefox's Sidebar? (fedia.io)

Is there a Keyboard Shortcut to put the focus on Firefox's Sidebar?

I use the Add-On "Bookmark search plus 2" which is really awesome. When I activate it's Keyboard Shortcut (Ctrl + Q), the Sidebar opens, but I have to use my mouse to click on the Sidebar to grant it focus. I looked around online and haven't found anything. If anyone knows of a way, a Keyboard Shortcut, a tool or another Add-On perhaps, please let me know! Cheers!

Preferable wouldn't require rooting the phone, but curious to hear if there is a way that requires rooting also.

Pride Month Logo Contest (fedia.io)

This might be a little late for this year, but we can definitely start playing with some ideas for next year (or maybe we can run the logo next month).

Wouldn't it be cool to rebrand the magazine logo here in a Firefox+Pride themed way? Your logo should be square-ish so that it fits in the Kbin sidebar.

On Monday morning we (Mozilla) detected a very large crash spike affecting #Firefox users on Linux, specifically on an older version of a Debian-based distribution. It turned out to be an interesting bug involving the #Linux kernel and #Google JavaScript code so let me tell you about it. A thread 🧵
