Well they are just lying, it works fine with Firefox and has worked fine for years. I live in the EU though. Sucks to be american these days, I guess?

Thats the exact reason I just donated my old pc to my sisters kids as a "practice computer", encouraging them to go rummaging around.

What woke me up was all these 20-somethings in our uni having trouble using computers. Damn, how can you get through our secondary education in our country and not know how to use a normal Windows pc?

This isnt Hexbear man, wrong instance.

Then they started to remove songs you own, and songs from your hard drive that iTunes had nothing to do with it... Fucking apple cultists. You really never see any fault in your chosen god?

In local news our national broadcaster and right wing rags have reported that most of these newcomers are from Syria, Iraq, Yemen and Somalia.

Source: I'm a finn myself.

Here's also a link to a relevant news story from our national broadcaster YLE's english version, if you're interested to read more: https://yle.fi/a/74-20062259

"Okay, lemme check the colour chart how I should respond... Oh crap, for you, buddy."

There is also wheelmap.org , based on Openstreet maps. Project asks for volunteers to mark wheelchair accessible places that you know of.

Even a few markdowns would help if you know an accessible space, store, restaurant, bathroom etc. !

Perhaps both. There are also news reports that some of these migrants now stuck in Russia are being pressured by russian military authorities to sign contracts to go fight in Ukraine, in exchange getting Russian citizenship later. More cannon fodder to the grinder...

Main reason I started using Kiwi browser on my mobile some years back (3-4?) was that it blocks AMP-sites. Ability to run many chrome extensions has been also a good plus, though interacting with some interfaces on them is sometimes difficult or downright impossible.

Simple, but it speaks the truth.

I have also been using it the past week or so. Works pretty well and UI is good and intuitive.

THANK YOU very much, that did it! One more little annoyance less in one's day.

I've had 3 android phones in the past 5 years (Samsung, Samsung, latest is HMD Nokia) and every one of them had their usb-c connector broken (in about a year). They really seem to be quite crap when they come out of the factory.

I''ve never had ANY device, in my 40'ish years on this hurling ball of a space ship, brake their 3.5 mm jack. Not a single, and there must have been dozens if not hundreds devices with those jacks.

Pretty much anything from Frontside, but especially their album 'Sprawa jest osobista". I have no idea what those poles are singing about, but you can just taste the thick sarcasm through kick ass guitar riffs.

Its happening on both my laptop and big computer. FF updated to latest on both, only extensions Ublock Origin, Block HTML5 Autoplay and Zotero. Doesnt work in different networks.

Accessing the same sites with Brave or Vivaldi, no problems. It sucks ass and I'm certainly not the only one with this problem. Why the heck does this problem keep popping up with FF periodically, judging by both FF and CF support forums?

HMD Nokia's are also pretty unbloated and work just fine, except mine got a shitty usb-c port that had to be replaced by warranty.

On the other hand, so did my 2 other previous phones, and they were Samsung.

Sadly I'm guessing that I wont get to root that work phone, but thanks for the recommendation in case I decide to root my own!

Okay thanks, I hadnt thought about that. Gonna give it try.

I have no idea, but the issue has been periodically reported in FF forums at least since '22.

Yep, thats why I'm calling for people with knoweledge to share.

On a sidenote, does anyone know a site or a document that would list and explain the settings in about:config? Sure, you can find some partial lists and articles from the web, but there must be more comprehensive materials on them too. I havent been able to find such documents.

FYI Running Ublock Origin is enough to grant access to this dictionary, among others. At least seems to work for me without any paywalls (unless its a geoblock? I'm looking at it from the Nordics).

Philip Jose Farmer's Riverworld series could be a fun series/world to adapt to a series, but also infuriating if they cut it short after two seasons.

Thanks a lot for the tip, I'll look into it! Seems promicing.

Yep I agree, world needs less apps, but also less PWA's. Regular browser interfaces can work well too.

Yeah, it truly is. There are some local smaller and cheaper cinemas here and there, but they usually cant show new movies at all. They are rare, too. There are couple of big movie chains that dominate and effectively force an duopoly/triopoly with their prices.

I'm having this issue now too, and just not with other instances. I go to a community page I know must have more than 10 posts, but nope, Jerboa just wont load more. Hitting refresh does nothing.

God damn it, I really hope thats not the case. Fuck em and fuck people who push useless PWA'S.

Btw update for anyone stumbling upon this: I could not get any of the (unrooted) options working, so sadly I had to resort to the old fashioned "speaker phone call and digital recorder" -method.

Still, I thank you everyone for your suggestions and hopefully future Android versions can get this functionality back.

Usefull idiot talk.

Same thing going on here in Finland. Movie tickets are often 20-25 € for "normal" movies, shit ton of ads to go through and rude customers scrolling Insta or talking through out the movie.

Having Cloudflare work with Firefox would be much more useful. Having horrendous problems with CF+Firefox this past month, always get stuck in the infinite captcha loop.

Cloudflare has pretty much banned me using FF as of late and it sucks ass in a bad way.
