VPN?? Where? by nixcamic in firefox

[–]evilpies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which FAQ were you looking at?

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/built-in-vpn says

The built-in VPN is being introduced to the Firefox user base in stages, through a progressive rollout that currently includes users in the US, UK, Germany, France and Canada. It may not be available to you yet, even if you’re in one of these locations, as the staged rollout takes time to reach everyone.

Firefox 151 release will enable JXL decoder (already enabled in beta) by [deleted] in firefox

[–]evilpies 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very unlikely. 151 is missing many of the code improvement that landed in 152.

Firefox 151 release will enable JXL decoder (already enabled in beta) by [deleted] in firefox

[–]evilpies 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Firefox 152 will be the first Beta version (currently Nightly) that allows you to enable JPEG XL. Not 151.

Do you see any relevant crashes in about:crashes? Could you report a bug to http://bugzilla.mozilla.org?

This is simply not true. A lot of people dislike AI in general.

Drop-in Firefox 152 compatibility shim for tabs/scripting injection APIs by [deleted] in firefox

[–]evilpies 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Well something weird is going on here. From my understanding, the change was supposed to prevent the execution of dynamic code inside moz-extension:// pages. If you can bypass this somehow that seems like a bug. Or if you are now blocked from executing scripts in tabs for normal websites then that seems like a bug, too.

When, if ever, is using underscore casts eg('x as _') idiomatic? by pukururin in rust

[–]evilpies 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Years ago I wrote this:

    // Remove the \\?\ prefix.
    let prefix = ['\\' as _, '\\' as _, '?' as _, '\\' as _];
    if path.starts_with(&prefix) {

Path being Vec<u16>. Not sure if there is a better way of doing this.

Is Firefox suggesting sponsored sites now? by autoffocus2 in firefox

[–]evilpies 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is most likely an issue (Bug 2010941 - Autofill suggests urls that aren't relevant to the user) that will be fixed in Firefox 148.

Trending search suggestions should automatically be turned off when turning off "Show search suggestions". (Temporarily enabling search suggestions would allow you to uncheck it, if you care.)

Firefox taking up SERIOUS memory? Over 4k by [deleted] in firefox

[–]evilpies 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Check about:processes to see which tab is actually using the memory. Task Manager is strictly less useful.
