Mozilla Thunderbird Version 102.12 freigegeben
Wie so häufig folgt einen Tag nach dem roten Panda der Donnervogel: Die Entwickler des Mozilla Thunderbird haben das Update auf die Version 102.12 freigegeben und damit auch Sicherheitslücken behoben. https://kantel.github.io/posts/2023060801_thunderbird_update/ #Mozilla #Thunderbird #Update #Security
Updating Firefox and... FUCK YOU #MOZILLA!! 😠
That shit is supposed to be disabled (extensions.pocket.enabled to false) and you bring it back
FUCK. YOU.
Firefox 114 released with new UI to manage DNS over HTTPS exception list, bookmarks can now be searched from the bookmarks menu, searches to the local browsing history can now be restricted #Firefox114 #firefoxbrowser #mozilla
Mozilla veröffentlicht neue Firefox-Version
Die Entwickler des Mozilla Firefox haben die neue Version 114.0 und die Version ESR 192.12 veröffentlicht und darin auch wieder Sicherheitslücken behoben. https://kantel.github.io/posts/2023060701_firefox_114/ #Mozilla #Firefox #Update #Security
Sicherheitsupdates: Firefox und Firefox ESR gegen mögliche Attacken gerüstet
Aufgrund einer Schwachstelle in Firefox könnten Angreifer Opfer noch effektiver auf unverschlüsselte Fake-Websites locken.
Hi @mozilla I deeply love Firefox, but I must say I really hate that nearly on every update on my Firefox "new tab" Pocket and sponsored stuff keeps coming back even if I disabled it on previous Firefox version. I'd like #mozilla to be more respectful of users' wishes and more "delicate" in marketing policies.
There is another issue with Ring security cameras which apparently allows attackers to take them offline with not much effort.

It's still saddening (maddening?) that #Mozilla didn't take the lead in this, but we're getting unfortunately used to them not being the champion of the open Internet that they used to be.
Of course the question remains of what #Google will do with #Chrome, but the hopes are that #Apple (and hopefully soon Mozilla) throwing their weight behind the format will help it gain enough adoption to push the ad giant on the right path too.

So apparently Safari is getting JPEG XL support. Now would be a perfect time for Firefox to reconsider. You know, since the devs in charge have decided to outsource their reasoning to Google, why not try Apple for once? Doesn’t take any more time off their busy plates and makes for the healthier web they’re supposed to love.

Wow, just spent the day with #Thunderbird and am loving it. So clean and simple and not filled with a million third-party widgets trying to get all my information. And it's a #Mozilla company, too. Thank you both so much for the recommendation and guidance.
@kristian Echoing others:
Why not to use #Brave:
1. Brave is based on Chrome. Contributing to Google's hegemony across the web is, in my opinion, a Bad Thing.
2. Brave have associated themselves with various cryptocurrency projects/schemes/shenanigans, which, in my opinion, is another Bad Thing.
Why to use #Firefox:
1. The only non-Chrome browser left standing in the way of total Google hegemony, which is, in my opinion, a Good Thing.
2. Makes greater efforts to respect users' privacy. E.g., none of the v3 manifest shenanigans, far less phone-home activity, DNS over HTTPS / #DoH (yes, I know some folks really don't like this) support.
3. Managed by a non-profit, Mozilla. They're hardly perfect -- being a part of the Non-Profit Industrial Complex -- but I'd rather struggle with them than Google.
Firefox (and #Mozilla) aren't perfect. And so long as they are dependent upon a massive conglomerate like #Google or #Microsoft or #Yahoo to underwrite their efforts, they won't be. But that, in my opinion, is really up to us to work to fix. If there's any software that people would pay for, and *have* paid for in the past, it's:
1. Their operating systems
2. Their web browsers

Firefox version 115 will be the last supported Firefox version for users of macOS 10.12 (Sierra), macOS 10.13 (High Sierra) and macOS 10.14 (Mojave).
Mozilla will provide security updates for these users until September 2024. No security updates will be provided after that date.

Does anyone know if #mozilla are going to integrate the offline translations extension (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/firefox-translations/) into the core #firefox browser?
I can't think of any reason why you wouldn't want to do this, bar any stability issues they're working through.

The other day I was catching up with an old friend who had spent some time working at #Mozilla , from whom I learned about
#BrendanEich , who co-founded it. After ultimately becoming its CEO, in that role he lasted 11 days.
Though my friend described him as a nice guy, to me he seems like a spineless tool of the Catholic church who acted apologetically against democracy.
He then founded #Brave .
Overall, I like Mozilla #Firefox and Brave #browsers , and prefer them to #Google #Chrome (for its apparent lack of privacy). But getting to know this guy's politics prompted me to install #Opera and #Vivaldi .
@simon Hmm, it seems on the low side…

#Mozilla spendiert #Thunderbird ein neues Logo - pctipp.ch https://www.pctipp.ch/news/e-mail/mozilla-spendiert-thunderbird-neues-logo-2863383.html
I tried to connect to the #Thunderbird Matrix channel ...with Thunderbird and failed miserably. I looked for instructions on #Mozilla wiki and even there they make you use #Element instead. (https://wiki.mozilla.org/Matrix#New_to_Matrix.2C_new_to_Mozilla.3F). In my opinion the Thunderbird team should spend some time to make easier for "normal people" to discover popular channel and set up chat accounts in Thunderbird. @killyourfm you're our only hope 😉
Wouldn't be nice if #Thunderbird had the ability to undo send a message similarly to what GMAIL does with the "undo send" feature? If so, please vote for my idea on #mozilla connect https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/undo-send-message-thunderbird/idi-p/32731

Jetzt gibt es auch einen konkreten Termin: https://winfuture.de/news,136516.html?utm_source=Mastodon&utm_medium=ManualStatus&utm_campaign=SocialMedia
I've been so impressed by the recent developments of @thunderbird, I love what @killyourfm is doing for the project.

@me @BleepingComputer yes and I'm still pissed at @mozilla for refusing to actually listen to people like us and actually ask: "Why do you use #Firefox & #Thunderbird and not #Chrome & #Geary?"
Because they'd get to hear #based things like "#privacy" and "#customization" as well as "no shitty #ads" instead.
So instead of plastering shitty ads around, #Mozilla should maybe include more #safety features, harden it more and also add #uBlockOrigin into it.

I read an article regarding #Brave removing reader mode for ad reasons. I decided to switch back to #Mozilla #Firefox. I never really liked the #Chromium interface to begin with, and now that I've learned about You Block Origin and Sponsor Block for YouTube videos, as well as how much better these extensions are at blocking unwanted ads, I don't think I'll ever go back permanently. Thanks @weirdwriter for telling me about You Block Origin! #web #browsers https://www.theinternetpatrol.com/how-to-enable-reader-view-mode-in-the-brave-browser/
So let me wrap my head around this regarding #ActivityPub...
- #Tumblr (572M blogs) wants to integrate it
- #Instagram (2B users) wants to start an app that supports it
- #Mozilla starts its own #Mastodon instance
- #Medium started its own Mastodon instance
- #WordPress now has an official ActivityPub plugin
- #Flickr (60M users) is considering using the protocol
🤯
Am I missing something or does it look like the #Fediverse might actually win the "social media wars" in the end? 🤔

#Mozilla #Ageism #Jobs #Discrimination #Disability #Fediverse #Interview @mozilla
Funny, I read what it said, but given the amount of experience I have for the role that I can't see anyone else at all would have, all I can understand from it is either: "You are too old", "You are too disabled" or both. I certainly expected an interview for this one, but maybe they think I can only use a rotary phone? I can't think of another reason.
Bitter? Well, I expect better from some companies, so yes.

So #Mozilla Add-ons is apparently circling back to requiring a human review prior to publication, at least for the popular browser extensions. Which is great news for all Firefox users.
For reference: originally, Firefox extensions had the same privileges on the system as the browser itself. Back then Mozilla Add-ons had a mandatory human review for all extensions. Even though human review occasionally missed something, this was great for security. But developers hated the delays, and the effort running this review system was also considerable.
So when Mozilla switched to sandboxed extensions, one of the goals was getting rid of human reviews. They first switched to reviewing extensions after publication, then to barely reviewing anything at all. With the predictable consequence that installing add-ons became a gamble with your security and privacy – just like with the Chrome Web Store.
Back then I argued that a permission prompt isn’t a sufficient substitution for code review. It would seem that this message finally arrived.
@kaiserkiwi
I don't think that the #Mozilla team isn't caring. These new features are going to be implemented a.s.a.p.
They just don't have the resources of Google, MS and Apple (which also has to support only a single platform). Browser code is a beast.
Add to that the fact, that the only platform and geographical region where #Firefox is still a major player, seem to be Linux and the German-speaking countries, makes it tough to find qualified developers.

6,4 Millionen US-Dollar hat Thunderbird im Vorjahr aus Spenden eingenommen. Das ist mehr als das Doppelte des Jahres 2021.
I never heard a peep from #Mozilla about managing their #Fediverse #TrustAndSafety stuff. I can't think of anyone who would be more qualified for the role who'd have applied, but it doesn't seem that #Tech #jobs work that way these days 🤷
Since the role is unlisted now, and I never heard a peep from them I am assuming #Ageism or #Disability #Discrimination. There's no way I shouldn't have at least been interviewed for that - I checked every damned box.
