Your screenshot would wrongly suggest that you cannot categorize and organize your bookmarks in Firefox. You can. See attached. You can drag and drop, right on the bookmark bar if it makes it easier. You can also right-click on the bar to bring up the menu. Finally, for better screen space, you can even hide the bookmark bar too (right click on bars above to bring up menu options).
You also do not need an add-on for a sidebar, since Firefox comes with the option, by default. You can move the sidebar to your left or right if you prefer and can hide it and show it, with a click of a button. The sidebar can also be used to view bookmarks (and you can organize them) and use other add-ons to expand your sidebar too. See attached screenshot. Spoiler: sidebar
Yup, the 300 baud modem and the BBS with an amber monitor. Intel 8086 processor. 34 mb hard drive and the 5.25 floppy drive 1.44 mb.
Can anyone comment upon FF Telemetry and if/what you disable, I've seen these recommended to disable in about:config? Code: Telemetry / data collection (suggestion: disable / set to 'false') browser.ping-centre.telemetry toolkit.telemetry.archive.enabled toolkit.telemetry.bhrPing.enabled toolkit.telemetry.enabled toolkit.telemetry.firstShutdownPing.enabled toolkit.telemetry.newProfilePing.enabled toolkit.telemetry.reportingpolicy.firstRun toolkit.telemetry.shutdownPingSender.enabled toolkit.telemetry.unified toolkit.telemetry.updatePing.enabled experiments.enabled experiments.activeExperiment experiments.supported datareporting.healthreport.uploadEnabled nsITelemetry.canRecordBase nsITelemetry.canRecordExtended
Multiple firefox processes opening up on 57, was not the case before. It used to be 1 single one & will a larger ram consumption. Now chrome like many process.
Thats because the Multi-process and Sandbox Technology it creates more processes to ensure nothing will crash.. and for sandboxing tabs/extensions to run in a seperate process and media add-ons, tasks that's why it has more processes
Here's a piece of my list: Code: user_pref("dom.netinfo.enabled", false); user_pref("browser.search.suggest.enabled", false); user_pref("browser.selfsupport.enabled", false); // (hidden pref) user_pref("browser.selfsupport.url", ""); user_pref("browser.send_pings", false); user_pref("browser.send_pings.require_same_host", true); user_pref("browser.tabs.crashReporting.sendReport", false); // 0410e: disable binaries NOT in local lists being checked by Google (real-time checking) user_pref("browser.safebrowsing.downloads.remote.enabled", false); user_pref("browser.safebrowsing.downloads.remote.url", ""); user_pref("captivedetect.canonicalURL", ""); user_pref("datareporting.healthreport.about.reportUrl", "data:text/plain,"); user_pref("datareporting.healthreport.documentServerURI", ""); // (hidden pref) user_pref("datareporting.healthreport.service.enabled", false); // (hidden pref) user_pref("datareporting.healthreport.uploadEnabled", false); user_pref("datareporting.policy.dataSubmissionEnabled", false); user_pref("experiments.activeExperiment", false); user_pref("experiments.enabled", false); user_pref("experiments.manifest.uri", ""); user_pref("experiments.supported", false); user_pref("extensions.pocket.api", ""); user_pref("extensions.pocket.enabled", false); user_pref("extensions.pocket.oAuthConsumerKey", ""); user_pref("extensions.pocket.site", ""); user_pref("network.allow-experiments", false); user_pref("network.http.speculative-parallel-limit", 0); user_pref("privacy.trackingprotection.enabled", false); // all windows pref (not just private) user_pref("privacy.trackingprotection.pbmode.enabled", false); // private browsing pref user_pref("privacy.trackingprotection.ui.enabled", true); user_pref("security.ssl.errorReporting.enabled", false); user_pref("security.ssl.errorReporting.url", ""); user_pref("services.blocklist.onecrl.collection", "certificates"); // Revoked certificates user_pref("services.blocklist.plugins.collection", ""); // I have no plugins user_pref("services.blocklist.signing.enforced", true); user_pref("services.blocklist.update_enabled", true); user_pref("social.directories", ""); user_pref("social.enabled", false); // (hidden pref) user_pref("social.remote-install.enabled", false); user_pref("social.share.activationPanelEnabled", false); user_pref("social.shareDirectory", ""); user_pref("social.toast-notifications.enabled", false); user_pref("social.whitelist", ""); user_pref("toolkit.telemetry.archive.enabled", false); user_pref("toolkit.telemetry.cachedClientID", ""); user_pref("toolkit.telemetry.enabled", false); user_pref("toolkit.telemetry.server", ""); user_pref("toolkit.telemetry.unified", false); user_pref("toolkit.telemetry.unifiedIsOptIn", true); // (hidden pref) // 0350: disable crash reports user_pref("breakpad.reportURL", ""); // 0351: disable sending of crash reports (FF44+) user_pref("browser.tabs.crashReporting.sendReport", false); If you like I can post the whole file. But it's quite large.
Another attempt to misinform folks, but at least this time you are being a little creative under the false impression of being helpful. In this case, you are wrongfully implying that Firefox has much in common with Microsoft Windows 10 and has some sneaky form of telemetry which needs to be blocked. This, much like all the previous post made by the few Chrome users who wish to troll this thread with misinformation is, in fact, another lie. -- Really how good can Chrome be if you feel you must lie in order to defend it? We have a dedicated thread for Google Chrome right, here on MDL. Do you know what you do NOT see in that thread? You do not see Firefox users feeling the need to troll it with misinformation. All modern browsers have some form of Telemetry (Opera, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Internet Explorer, Microsoft Edge, etc... etc...). In the case of Firefox, it is only to report bugs and crashes in order to improve future releases. It is not hidden and not sneaky since it is optional and you can freely decide to turn it on or off, anytime you wish (see screenshot). Firefox is 100% open source, which means the code is public knowledge and easily reviewed. It has been for 16 years. If Firefox was being sneaky, everyone would know about it. -- Your browser of choice (Google Chrome) however has no such option as you can never turn off all of Google's spying. Recap -- Every modern mainstream browser has some form of telemetry Firefox is 100% upfront about theirs with the option to turn it on or off (nothing sneaky) Firefox's code is 100% open source whose code has been reviewed for 16+ years You few are Chrome trolls who feel threaten by Firefox developing a better browser
Seems to me that Google's Chrome is one of the most intrusive browsers today, probably more than Microsoft Edge. It's the main reason I refuse to use the Chrome browser
