Here’s sort of a strange question. Not too strange though ;-)
Let’s say you had a basic rice and beans meal - garlic … onions … root vegetables … blackbeans and redbeans … then kale roots and final kale leafs … salt pepper
What spices do you use? What are your favorites?
How do you get your protein? I’ve been doing the plants - and eating beans a lot - but this last week I ate some meatballs in my soups and boy - I really crave the meat.
edit - not sure why it quotes irrelevant text in these replies
Btw, disabling Safe Browsing didn’t do the trick.
I did download LibreWolf. I have bad news - it does exactly the same thing.
Sigh. Maybe if you are using it you should profile it on osx or windows - or ntop linux I think will do it.
Ok I have some news -
It’s not safebrowsing - or probably not - maybe I just can’t turn it off now or something.
So I
Nothing worked.
Eventually got logs running with: “export MOZ_LOG=timestamp,rotate:200,nsHttp:5,cache2:5,nsSocketTransport:100,nsHostResolver:100”
found out mozilla is doing fucking push notifications?? wtf. that resolves to google? turned that off.
Anyway, it does a bunch of shit. All talking to google in the end.
I hate Firefox. I’m so over all of this.
When I start the browser, and it is blank, and I have done nothing, it should do nothing. If it needs some base certificate updates, it should do this once a week. Or never. Let me decide.
Talking to google, even doing dns lookups every fucking time I open a browser. God. Who are these people. /rant
I’ve disabled all of the safe browsing via about:config
still talks to google. weird. also it still keeps the connection open either for re-use or, dunno.
Firefox is trying to connect to 34.160.144.191 at startup. It continues the connection, perhaps to reuse it, or whatever.
Firefox should never talk to google. And if there is some database that google has that firefox needs, Firefox should duplicate that DB. The fact that I have this thing talking to google anytime I do anything is gross. Anyhow. Blah blah blah. I’m annoying! ;-)
I have a feeling it’s the safebrowsing. Will find out later. And then will disable.
Hmm, I don’t think so in this case. Although I will check tomorrow. Thanks for the tip!
True
f course not; it’s the distro that makes the call. But I want the Librewolf folks to make the effort to get accepted by the distro.
Hmm, I will try the LibreWolf - will also try disabling safe browsing.
Thanks for the info!
Wait, is it possible to side load on ios? can I distribute ipas directly?
I disagree, if the user has opened up about: has gone in an said, “I want to enable this local plugin permanently” and then says, “yes” to a “do you really want to do this” — this is enough — also just think if mac or windows or linux all of a sudden said, “no you can’t install the software you want” — you would be against I would think.
Nah, I think we just need a dialog box - could be like osx - “are you sure you want to allow the plugin that you said you wanted to use? It was built by: you, not signed by Mozilla.” Maybe put a “You have unsigned plugins running” tool tip - that gets displayed at startup or every 8 hours.
Again - imagine if you couldn’t install the programs you wanted on your computer - this is current firefox.
I suppose we are both beating the already-dead-horse on different ends now.
Yeah pretty much
Lol
Again. You are saying you shouldn’t be able to install applications on your computer.
I mean, if that’s what you believe. I don’t. I think I should be able to decide what I run and where I run it.
Especially if the company thinks of itself as open source.
Doesn’t work. Try to do it without giving them a phone number or installing some other application. You can’t. Or I couldn’t.
Then, after you can’t and you think, “I’ll go to the forums, see if there is a way.” You’ll find out Mozilla has problems with sign in. I mean come on… But this is irrelevant, this whole flow is dumb. And it presumes that I shouldn’t be able to control my own browser.
We need a new firefox - just like the original firefox showed that Mozilla was bloat and dumb, we need another that shows the current is bloat and dumb.
I understand what you are saying - but - if I want to install a program on my computer - I should be allowed to do so - the same with firefox — maybe it might need me doing the equivalent of sudo, entering some password - or just clicking through, “ok, yes I know, extensions can do bad things.”, “yes I really know that I shouldn’t install an extension if I don’t know exactly what it is” 10 times, but — etc…
I just don’t buy the “attack vector” argument. There are many ways to mitigate, without removing the ability.
Anyway, in a way this was a good experience - I am going to try to ditch firefox sooner than later now.
I wrote myself a little plugin for firefox.
It runs nice, and I want to install it permanently. It does something I want.
Can I? No. Why? Because Firefox… Apparently I’m not adult enough to control my own browser. WTF.
I have to either get their developer build or become a developer with an account. WTF.
So I think, I don’t want their developer build, I just want this plugin— I make a mozilla plugin developer account- because apparently that’s how I’m supposed to do it- I try to create the plugin upload —
Can I? No. Why? Because they want my phone number before I can make a plugin just for myself. WTF.
So - I ask ChatGPT if there is any work around for this, can it search, I just want to run my own plugin, I don’t want the developer build, I don’t want the developer account, I just want to run my own plugin- ChatGPT says it can’t help me because I’m not adhering to Firefox’s EULA. WTF.
So I give up on the plugin - and today, I just happen to notice Mozilla silently turned on SYNC for my web history for that fucking Mozilla plugin developer account. So I guess I’m sending them everything I ever do on the web. WTF.
I go and try to find out what information they’ve stolen from me, can I find it? No. The have some link, to another link, to another link, to another link, which eventually ends up on some page where I can ask them to pretty please send me what information they stole. Why can I not see this without writing a letter! WTF.
WTF WTF WTF. I hate Mozilla.
Please let them burn in software hell.
/rant
This.
Thanks. I’ll try that.
