Edge is also moving to Manifest v3 and don't support extensions on mobile.

Amusing response. In any case, I checked out Chromium, and the equivalent setting is labeled "Page zoom" and affects extension popovers as well. As far as I know, extension popovers are not web pages, so your expectation (and Chro

That looks expected to me. The zoom setting controls web page zoom.

by yoasif_ 4y ago
Not sure what you are frustrated with (can't read minds), but in my testing, the zoom setting you showed doesn't affect browser chrome, just web pages. Not sure why the rest of your chrome seems oversized, but you may be experienc

You can enable translation on Firefox Nightly - I blogged about this (and other) extensions: https://www.quippd.com/writing/2022/01/26/most-wanted-add-on...

I don't think I or my post implied that it was out of the box. You also don't need to create your own collection - one just needs to exist with the extensions you are looking for.

No editing or compilation needed. You just needed to disable signature checks (xpinstall.signatures.required) and enable extension experiments (extensions.experiments.enabled) in a developer edition version (or nightly) version of the brows

Nothing is really stopping people from keeping those extensions compatible. Unsupported doesn't mean impossible - it just means you need to do some tweaks: https://webextensions-experiments.readthedocs.io

More addons on mobile?

by yoasif_ 4y ago
FWIW, people that want to run extensions can either use Fennec (the F-Droid fork, not the old Firefox for Android) or Nightly versions. There are developers targeting this stuff - I wrote about some here: https://www.quippd.com

Terrible idea - the version referenced is two years out of date with security issues. I don't see how Firefox for Android is similar to Chrome, as Chrome doesn't have add-ons at all.

Avoid awesomebar? That is a nickname - the correct term is the address bar. It has never been an "omnibar", however.

People can use whatever search engine they want - how is that not on their own terms?

by yoasif_ 5y ago
The Omnibar is Chromium/Chrome specific. The Firefox address bar is also known as the awesomebar, but has never been known as the omnibar. https://blog.mozilla.org/en/mozilla/a-little-something-aweso...

My feeling is that telemetry as used in most places as a gut check to ensure that what you are doing isn't a terrible idea. It isn't necessarily going to drive you to invest further into something (you generally have better ways o

This is clearly a commercial arrangement for Firefox. That would be the province of the Mozilla Corporation, which runs the browser.
