Firefox to now update every week instead of every two weeks. This will follow the format of major release plus releases of .1 to .3 in the extra weeks. The faster update schedule is due to AI finding more vulnerabilities plus the fact that exploits are actively deployed now.Make sure to plan your browser workflow around tuesday updates.
>>108856283>UPDOOOT! MUST UPDOOOT MORE OFTEN, MORE REGULARLY>MAKE THE UI WORSE>ADD BLOATWARE>MORE AI>MORE ADSglad i use ungoogled chromium so i dont have to worry about it auto updooootingi only updoooot when websites stop working, which basically means once every year or once every 2 years
>>108856283fucking garbage
>instead of fixing the memory leaks making the fox unusable after 1-2 weeks, they force the goy to restart the browser session for """""updates"""""genius
>>108856283firefags make me laugh
>>108856724Yes. But no alternatives.
>>108856794>i freely give out my private info U do u
>>108856315I'm the opposite, an updoot addict. Everything must be to the latest version or else I feel like a snailcat
>>108856283Astrologers proclaim the week of zerodaysZerodays amount doubledAll firefox users increase attention
Damn, so this is the power of open source. AI can just exploit you better?
>>108856283>your browser workflowwhat the fuck is a "browser workflow" ?hit update, use browser, that is allwhat do you need those fancy words for, zoomer ?
>>108856833>thinks his info is private
>>108856283joke's on you, I'm using nightly. it updates twice a day.
I consider updating to be a civic duty.
>>108856283I don't know what to use anymore. I just switched back to Firefox from Brave because of how retarded the brave shields were
>>108856283So what? Chromium standard update schedule is weekly and even has multiple updates per week when an actively exploited vulnerability is floating around. This is the nature of web browsers and the security arms race.
Not my problem.I use Firefox ESR 115 btw (on windows 7)
>>108857087But the point you make about AI pen-testing is valid. Even Microsoft is shifting from monthly "Patch Tuesday" updates which worked fined in the old paradigm, to security hot-patching which they introduced recently. Interesting times indeed. tl;dr; updOOOOOOOT as often as you can in the face of AI-assisted pentesting
>>108857087Yeah but chrome has actual users, no one will waste time target the couple users firefox has
>>108857092how many bitcoins did you mine this month ?
>>108857124firefox has >200 million users. more than enough to be worthwhile to exploit.
>>108856790>>instead of fixing the memory leaks making the fox unusable after 1-2 weeks, they force the goy to restart the browser session for """""updates""""">geniusNo forced restarts on Linux. Try using it there.
>>108857130K H E K
>>108856283>due to AI finding more vulnerabilitiesActual vulnerabilities, or "trust me bro this is totally vulnerable you need to change it haha"?
>>108857409vulns which only happen to cniles
>>108856283>Firefox to now update every week instead of every two weeks.this can only mean 1 thing, they vibe slop more and more now.RIP firefocks
>>108857224>firefox has >200 million users.source?
If you make your product good the first time you don't need to update it
>everyone else does it: crickets>Firefox does it: you bitch and moanWhat gives?
>>108858196Firefox makes their shit worse every update. Why would you want faster enshittenification?
What is there to update? Isn't browsing the internet a solved problem yet?>html? rendered>javascript? interpretedWhat the fuck else is there to do?
>>108858205According to OP, it will be mostly security updates.Or do you really think the lazy fucks at Mozilla will work harder? Lol no.
>>108858238No, there are constant new vulnerabilities where someone can use a funny javascript/html/css snippet to pwn your whole shit so browsers need a pipeline of constant security patches.
>>108856283>faster update scheduleUh...fuck
If any of you have customised new tab pages and they're now fucked because of the latest update. Set browser.newtabpage.activity-stream.nova.enabled to false and your new page css will be back to as it was before.
>>108856283I've been updating Firefox Nightly daily since forever now.
>>108856833retard, its a web browser. a WEB browser. browsing the INTERNET is the exact opposite of private. you literally cannot browse the INTERNET without communicating with others, thats what the INTERNET means. your stupid faggot random fingerprint browser does nothing but make you stand out, do you really think these massive trillion dollar companies cant defeat librewolf? kek
Is there any way to disable the stupid hover animation on the shortcuts in the new tab? Why do they keep adding useless shit like this that no one asks.
>>108856283not my problem
>>108856283Incessant updates is exactly what drove me to Debian stable on my travel box, and why I only update Fedora (Cinnamon) on my main PC every two releases. For the same reason, I prefer Waterfox, my Windows machine remains on 8.1, and I will eventually abandon Android + iOS (perhaps, returning to my trusty BlackBerry Q10 and Classic). I value privacy, immensely so, but I understand my own threat model, and have security safeguards in place that work for me. I do not need security theater clowns shoving their bullshit down my throat, especially when it's so often a thinly veiled ploy to undermine personal privacy and/or autonomy.
>>108860403Oh, this >>108860220 actually fixed it. It removed the hover animation.Thanks, dude.
>>108857783https://data.firefox.com/dashboard/user-activityAnd that number isn't even counting any of the forks or users who turned off telemetry.
Antiupdooters are retards.
>>108858246Maybe they shouldn't have put 5 million vectors for exploitation into JavaScript and HTML5. Where's the update that prevents websites from disabling right click? Or making windows fullscreen and have no [x] button? What have these retards been doing for 200 versions?>you can easily circumvent thoseThey shouldn't be possible in the first place.
this is just going to stress out forks downstream even more, is it not? a lot of them already struggle to stay up to date and not fall behind as is.I'm not an updooter, or an anti-updooter, but I see this causing them issues lmao.
>>108861088Blame Google. They control the web standards now (and to a lesser extent Apple, and even lesser, almost non-existent extent Mozilla).Mozilla just has to go along with it.
>>108861088Could've should've... the reality we live in is this slop and unless you use QubesOS there is no real full mitigation.
>>108861107Forks were always memes for this reason.
>>108856283I'd prefer monthly updates with special updates for security only as needed
>>108856283Every time I update, every bank, brokerage, CC, or retail website makes me jump through extra CAPTCHA or other, more onerous attestation hoops, or it just won't let me login at all and claims the site's "unavailable" Discover.com was especially bad not long ago, and I stumbled upon some extensive thread where Arch autists figured out it was some CORS issue specific to FF on Linux being treated as a bot.
>>108861500Here:https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=310564&p=2>Ask these clowns what triggers the "login.potential.bot" code and subsequent 302 - if the answer is "i don't know" ask them whether that means that somebody else is controlling your money, who that is and that they maybe could raise a ticket w/ their development team, if they can figure who /that/ is.>You're obviously not a bot, so it's an error on their side and it's there's one, who knows how many else there are and what that means to the security of your account (maybe bring up the fact that they asked you to enter your bank credentials into an insecure terminalWhat's really galling about this shit is that I browse using a residential cable ISP with an IPv4 address that's practically static; shouldn't that afford me some measure of trust, in and of itself?
>>108857130well keked my frenW7 is very secure actually. I know it well.
>>108861070Why would you willingly want to updoot ever?
>>108856283got ai to write code for them with tons of security vulnerabilities and then had another ai clean up the vulnerabilities
>>108856283>Local network access restrictions are now rolling out to all users. Firefox requires websites to request permission before connecting to devices on your local network or to apps and services on your device. Previously, this protection was limited to users with Enhanced Tracking Protection set to Strict.What is this and do I have to disable something new here?
>>108860433>cursive in computer fontswhat's this world gone to
