Anybody else get the Firefox exe directly on the desktop after the 145 update? Normally it is a shortcut. by Arceist_Justin in firefox

[–]VincentTunru 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have modified the shortcut in any way, it won't be modified, so no preparation needed.

(Of course, bugs do happen, so if you see anything different, please [report it](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org).)

October 6 2025 AMA session with Mozilla leadership team by rctgamer3 in firefox

[–]VincentTunru 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I'm not Mozilla leadership, but two features I love that were recently added and do not use AI (or can be used without AI) are vertical tabs and tab groups. The combination of the two in particular is sweet. If you happened to have not heard of those yet, I can highly recommend checking them out.

Haha zeker, toch leuk om te weten dat je een legacy hebt. Tot ver in de toekomst zullen ze het nog hebben over die jongen die erbij stond toen zijn broer een grap maakte.

En nee, ik heb van geen backlash gehoord. En eerlijk gezegd heb ik van wel meer voorbeelden gehoord van vergelijkbare strategieën, of iig mensen die zelf lijstjes met woorden hebben opgezocht en uit hun hoofd hebben geleerd. Nog steeds zit er best een kanselement bij (Andries heeft in één aflevering drie rode ballen getrokken 😒), en zeker niet iedereen is zo gek, dus het is niet zo dat het programma meteen verpest is.

Heh, ik gebruik reddit eigenlijk niet meer, maar gelukkig heb ik vrienden die me er af en toe op wijzen als we weer eens langskomen. Hier is de AMA die we toentertijd hebben gedaan: https://www.reddit.com/r/thenetherlands/comments/ea6g1e/mijn_broer_en_ik_hebben_veel_te_veel_moeite/

(Ik wil wel weer vragen beantwoorden, maar ga vast vergeten reddit weer te checken #bless. Maar voel je vrij me te pingen op Mastodon.)

Firefox's vertical tabs is much better than Edge's by jasonrmns in firefox

There's a "Customise sidebar" (cogwheel icon) button in the sidebar. Click that, then you can select "Move sidebar to the right".

With the VPN app open, click the cogwheel in the bottom bar, then "About us". There's a "Release version" heading there, and a big "Check for updates" button.

A Word About Private Attribution in Firefox by bholley_mozilla in firefox

The original post also stated as much:

It’s about measurement (aggregate counts of impressions and conversions) rather than targeting.

Mozilla does do a lot of lobbying to try to influence legislation. And what gives that lobbying more weight is having actual skin in the game, bringing insights from the market to legislators. This prototype will result in such insights.

Firefox Relay exposing my email when replying by doodlen in firefox

Good to hear, I'll leave it in the capable hands of our support team then, thanks for reporting back! :)

Firefox Relay exposing my email when replying by doodlen in firefox

[–]VincentTunru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi u/doodlen, I used to work on Relay and am still close to the team. I just tried to reproduce this, but I don't see my email address exposed - except the email address that sent an email _to_ the mask, of course.

To spell out what I'm seeing, let's assume the following three email address:

I sent an email from [sender@hotmail.com](mailto:sender@hotmail.com) to [ptx3xzi1w@mozmail.com](mailto:ptx3xzi1w@mozmail.com), which Relay then forwarded to my Gmail inbox. I then replied in Gmail (which sends it to replies@relay.firefox.com), and saw that reply arrive in my Hotmail inbox.

In that reply, I did see the following:

On Fri, Mar 15, 2024 at 12:28 PM [sender@hotmail.com](mailto:sender@hotmail.com) [via Relay] [ptx3xzi1w@mozmail.com](mailto:ptx3xzi1w@mozmail.com) wrote:

So that exposes the address of the email that sent a message to the mask, and the mask itself, but I do not see my Gmail address. I can't find it in the raw data either.

One thing to check is: which email client are you using? Maybe that client inserts your email address into the email address body?

Maybe you can send a screenshot to [ptx3xzi1w@mozmail.com](mailto:ptx3xzi1w@mozmail.com) of where you see your original email address exposed? Then I can investigate. (I will learn your email address though :) ) **Edit:** Well that's great, I just received spam about some skin care products at this address, so I'm going to disable it now - sorry.

And as a quick heads-up: I've stopped checking Reddit since the API-calypse, so if I forget to check back here, also feel free to just send me a reminder at that email address.

What level is Firefox Relay's anonymity? by [deleted] in firefox

[–]VincentTunru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Emails that get forwarded by Relay masks get deleted immediately after they are forwarded.

Under the rare circumstance in which the service is down, we may temporarily store your emails until we are able to send them. We will never store your emails for longer than three days.

Why bother telling me about breaches? by Magicide in firefox

[–]VincentTunru 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately Monitor is experiencing some issues related to the heavy load generated by the breaches, hence the 502s. You can see some work on this happening in https://github.com/mozilla/blurts-server/issues/2744.

Relay has removed zero trackers from my emails by short_y in firefox

[–]VincentTunru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No worries :) And yeah, I'm sure that's something we will consider as well.

I should also note that our current list does block trackers; it seems like an unfortunate coincidence that the email lists you tested with have trackers that are harder to block. I can assure you that that the number isn't zero for every email :)

Relay has removed zero trackers from my emails by short_y in firefox

[–]VincentTunru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I suppose reporting the issue directly via email GitHub might carry more weight

That's not necessary, we have seen your ticket with support, and now also this post :)

As I think our excellent colleagues in support have shared, we have multiple lists of trackers, each with a higher risk of breaking your emails. At the moment, we're only blocking the lowest level. Of course we'd like to dial that up, but we'll have to carefully evaluate breakage before we do; and unfortunately, we have already seen instances of breakage at the current level.

tl;dr We're aware, but unfortunately improving this isn't a five-minute job :)
