Does any of you [#linux](https://ma.fellr.net/tags/linux) [#kernel](https://ma.fellr.net/tags/kernel) or [@postmarketOS](https://fosstodon.org/@postmarketOS) people have any idea what's going on with my [#samsung](https://ma.fellr.net/tags/samsung) [#tablet](https://ma.fellr.net/tags/tablet) when I enable [#hardware](https://ma.fellr.net/tags/hardware) [#acceleration](https://ma.fellr.net/tags/acceleration) in [@firefox](https://lemmy.ml/c/firefox)?

one thing I do respect [@firefox](https://lemmy.ml/c/firefox) for, is that now the first thing I see when i log into the internet are thoughtful articles about nifty topics

[@firefox](https://lemmy.ml/c/firefox) Is there really an click bait Option for setting FF as Standard Browser, hidden as an 'we Block trackers' Message? FF is about one angström from being deleted from all my computers.

Hey [@firefox](https://lemmy.ml/c/firefox), why can't Firefox play an older mp4 video with which mplayer has no problems? OS: Devuan Beowulf Kernel: Linux 5.10.0-20-amd64 Firefox 102.4esr Video is from an HTC Desire, re-encoded with avidemux, in Oct. 2013

I have my homepage set as the **Whoogle Search**. I want to do the same for every new tabs but the only options are **default** and **blank page**. Is there any solution for this?

I know some of us linux users use SMPlayer not just for movies but also for watching YouTube videos on it. If you watch just one or two videos a day, that's fine, but if you watch everything through it, it can be tedious to copy every single link, then open SMPlayer and open the "add link" function. About a year ago or so I discovered this cool extension which is intended primarily for browsers only but in reality it can be used for any program, probably even for PC games, altough I haven't tried that yet. :) The extension's name is "Open With" and it does exactly what the name suggests - opens a page with another application that can accept URL addresses. It sends the address to another application which is what makes it perfect to watch videos with your favorite video player. All you need to do is install the extension, open its settings and follow the instruction there to make it work. It's best if you put the python file inside ~/.mozilla, so that you don't have to worry about the file ever being moved somewhere else. The extension is supposed to work on both Linux and Windows but I've never been able to make it work on Windows. After that it's pretty simple - click "Add browser", navigate to smplayer.desktop or vlc.desktop in /usr/share/applications (local applications also works, if you have placed a .desktop file there), navigate to the icon for your video player and that's it! Now you can open YouTube in Firefox, right click on any video and select "Open With" --------> your video player. 

Hello all, I have an unconventional idea. Is it possible for the default search engine in Firefox to be randomized at each search? I was a happy DuckDuckGo user for many years, but the quality of results degraded significantly in 2022. Not sure what is goşng on, but I'm in the market for a new default search engine. I'm trying out Brave, Ecosia, SearX and a bunch of others. It would be really cool if my default search engine was randomly selected from this pool every time, so that I get to experience different ones before eventually settling for one of them. Do you think this could be done? (for example as an extention)

Mozilla Firefox 102 was released today with a new **privacy feature that strips parameters from URLs that are used to track you around the web.** Numerous companies, including Facebook, Marketo, Olytics, and HubSpot, utilize custom URL query parameters to track clicks on links. With the release of Firefox 102, Mozilla has added the new **'Query Parameter Stripping'** feature that automatically strips various query parameters used for tracking from URLs when you open them, whether that be by clicking on a link or simply pasting the URL into the address bar.

**New** * Tired of too many windows crowding your screen? You can now disable automatic opening of the download panel every time a new download starts. [Read more](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/manage-downloads-preferences-using-downloads-menu#w_downloads-panel-automatically-opens). * Firefox now mitigates query parameter tracking when navigating sites in ETP strict mode. * Subtitles and captions for Picture-in-Picture (PiP) are now available at HBO Max, Funimation, Dailymotion, Tubi, Disney+ Hotstar, and SonyLIV. This allows you to view video in a small window pinned to a corner of the screen while navigating between apps or browsing content on the main screen. **Fixed** * When using a screen reader on Windows, pressing enter to activate an element no longer fails or clicks the wrong element and/or another application window. For those blind or with very limited vision, this technology reads out loud what is on the screen, and users can adapt them to their needs (now, on our platform, without errors). * Various [security](https://www.mozilla.org/security/advisories/mfsa2022-24/) fixes. **Changed** * Improved security by moving audio decoding into a [separate process with stricter sandboxing](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1722051), thus improving process isolation. **Enterprise** * Various bug fixes and new policies have been implemented in the latest version of Firefox. You can find more information in the [Firefox for Enterprise 102 Release Notes](https://support.mozilla.org/kb/firefox-enterprise-102-release-notes). * Firefox 102 is the new Extended Support Release (ESR). Firefox 91 ESR goes out of support on September 20, 2022. (See the [102 ESR release notes](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/102.0esr/releasenotes/) for more information) **Developer** [Developer Information](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Mozilla/Firefox/Releases/102) You can now filter style sheets in the Style Editor tab of our developer tools **Web Platform** * TransformStream and ReadableStream.pipeThrough have landed, allowing you to pipe from a ReadableStream to a WritableStream, executing a transformation on each chunk. * ReadableStream, TransformStream, and WritableStream are all transferable now. * Firefox now supports Content-Security-Policy (CSP) integration with WebAssembly. A document with a CSP that restricts scripts will no longer execute WebAssembly unless the policy uses 'unsafe-eval' or the new 'wasm-unsafe-eval' keyword.

> Today’s release of Total Cookie Protection is the result of experimentation and feature testing, first in ETP Strict Mode and Private Browsing windows, then in Firefox Focus earlier this year. We’re now making it a default feature for all Firefox desktop users worldwide.
