On FreeBSD-CURRENT (to the left, below) my folder icons are a shade of green in the bookmarks toolbar: Hint: when viewing each tree, choose to show resolved bugs. There was a long history of Mac users (and Apple) being passionate about excellent UX – including consistency – so I guess, Firefox for Mac got the improvement before Firefox for Windows.įor a definite explanation, not a guess, you might find clues in the dependency trees of Mozilla bugs such as these: I'd really appreciate your help solving this minor problem before I move on to major ones. I intend to use them for different things either way, so I'd rather no use a FF account on WF, or have a completely different one from the one I use with FF. This leads me to believe that it's not a good idea to sync the same FF account on WF and FF. When I manually imported my FF bookmarks on PC after it didn't work, I logged out of my FF account first (on WF). I suspect that the reason is because on my Mac, FF isn't synced to a FF account, whereas on my PC it is. When I imported my FF bookmarks on Mac there was no issue. I had to manually important my FF bookmarks. There was a bug, and an error message I can't remember. I don't know if this is important but when I first installed WF on PC, it tried to import my Firefox Bookmarks with all my account synced, but it didn't work. How do I turn the yellow bookmarks back to grey? UI & UX are really important to me and my workflow, and I just really hate the yellow bookmark folders. This confirms that they should be grey but they are yellow for some reason. Furthermore, when I click show all bookmarks on Windows, my bookmark folders in the settings appear grey, not yellow. I know they should be grey because in Firefox they are both grey on my Mac and PC. I noticed that my bookmark folders are grey on Mac but yellow on PC. Downloaded WF yesterday on both Mac (MacOS Mojave) & PC (Windows 10). It is also comical to me that Firefox Focus does not use Mozilla’s Gecko rendering engine, but rather Android’s WebView, which is based on Google’s Blink (used in Chrome).Newbie here. It also has a “run at startup” permission! And as already has been pointed out, it includes Google Play Services, which can be used to spy on the user. If Mozilla really cared about user privacy, they would include all the blockers in their main Firefox app and enable them by default. Most importantly, it has an “Open with Firefox” button, which lets you switch to Firefox as soon as you can’t do what you need to do with Firefox Focus. And there is a trash button that wipes out everything and closes the browser. ![]() It includes an ad blocker, an analytic blocker, a social tracker blocker, an an “other content tracker” blocker (these are all good things). It has no bookmarks, no history, and no tabs. For example, it has no control over cookies or JavaScript. I wonder what the way forward is when it comes to a browser that is free as in freedom, what is the most promising project today?įirefox Focus is designed on purpose to not be a browser that a person can use as their daily driver. Has the way Mozilla has decided to take the project (blobs from untrusted third parties, inclusion of non-free add-ons etc.) simply taken it too far away from the ideals of freedom that F-Droid is based upon so that inclusion is simply not possible without a major rewrite or are the issues more practical with a complicated and cumbersome building process that would require huge amounts of work to include and maintenance to keep up?Įdit: Here is their blog post about the release:īy using words like “consumer” I’m guessing their focus is not on freedom. I understand that there are some major issues with Firefox inclusion but I do not know the details or the current status. What would it take to get Firefox Focus into F-Droid, is it feasible? Just found that Mozilla released a new version of Firefox for Android called Firefox Focus, with focus on being better at protecting user privacy.
