The data privacy company Onerep.com bills itself as a Virginia-based service for helping people remove their personal information from almost 200 people-search websites. However, an investigation into the history of onerep.com finds this company is operating out of Belarus and Cyprus, and that its founder has launched dozens of people-search services over the years.

Today’s Speedometer release is more open and challenging than before and is the best tool for driving browser performance improvements.

Mozilla Firefox should gear up as an excellent option for power users and productivity enthusiasts with this feature.

I would be so happy if this feature makes it into Firefox this year

The only addons I've been finding are ones that block based on specific urls, domains, or a few glob patterns. I want to specify any regex.

Today marks a significant moment in our journey, and I am thrilled to share some important news with you. After much thoughtful consideration, I have decid

If you don't know about smart keywords, basically you can set phrases as shortcuts for specific bookmarks. I want a folder with all of my keywords synced, and that folder only. On each profile or account I have have whatever other folders and the placement of the folder with the keywords doesn't matter as long as they have the same name.

Question about Firefox's Add-On Facebook Container. I really appreciate the fact that Firefox works very hard for us to keep our privacy online. However, I've realized that the Facebook Container Extension Breaks a fair number of Websites, which tells me that Facebook Tracks something like 98% of all internet.

This morning I tried logging into the Mozilla Connect Website and I was surprised to see that the Facebook Container broke it also. I'm wondering one of two things: Either Mozilla now is using Facebook Trackers on their Website, or the Facebook Container Add-On has some bugs, and it breaks random Websites.

Anyone else come across similar issues? Is it in the realm of possibility that Mozilla actually uses Facebook Trackers on their Website themselves??

I'm looking to create an "Exit Button" in the Bookmarks Toolbar. I found how to create a Restart Button (creating a Bookmark with the URL about:restartrequired), but I'm having a hard time finding for Exit (or close all Firefox Windows). Perhaps it is not possible, I don't know.

Any help is appreciated.

A (fairly brief) interview with Mark Surman, Mozilla's president and executive director.

Is it a fair assessment? I'm still on Firefox. Why is it so hard for Firefox to gain traction?

If you open a new windows in Nyxt browser, you'll notice that it will have the exact same tabs as the old window.

Same can be done with Emacs when in server mode: frames (windows) do share the same set of buffers.

I think this is a comfy feature, since windows' purpose is - IME - not to logically group tabs but rather only to give multi pane visualization when browsing.

So the question is: Is it possible to achieve this in Firefox?

It appears to add fewer than other browsers, but I'm not quite sure why it adds "?channel=fenc&client=firefox-b-1-d" to searches when only the q/query parameter is needed for them to work.

Is there a Keyboard Shortcut to put the focus on Firefox's Sidebar?

I use the Add-On "Bookmark search plus 2" which is really awesome. When I activate it's Keyboard Shortcut (Ctrl + Q), the Sidebar opens, but I have to use my mouse to click on the Sidebar to grant it focus. I looked around online and haven't found anything. If anyone knows of a way, a Keyboard Shortcut, a tool or another Add-On perhaps, please let me know! Cheers!
