RSS is dead... I have a local html page devoted to news. An entry for a specific site will see at least two urls: The main site's URL and a link to it's RSS feed. Linking to the feed directly was a great way to bypass all the modern garbage on the home page to see a simple list of articles (not unlike HN's home page). It's borked now... None of my RSS links render. Chromium was very bad at this but at least it render…

Soon Wayland support is coming in Firefox 65 (works in beta/nightly already¹)! But have to wait until next month² for that. ¹ https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=635134 ² https://wiki.mozilla.org/Release_Management/Calendar
You have no idea how excited I am for this. I use sway as my daily driver since it supports HiDPI so much better than i3, but the one caveat to that has been firefox and xwayland. Once this ships, sway will have nearly flawless HiDPI support.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
After installing the update it opens this page: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/live-bookmarks-migratio...
arrrr... what they don't realize when they review their telemetry data is that most people that use this feature have turned off sharing telemetry data. Combine that with the fact that they haven't advertised the feature in the past decade and it leads to devs thinking nobody uses it.

Maybe they'll start getting around to 12-year-old security bugs soon? https://www.zdnet.com/article/malicious-sites-abuse-11-year-... https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=377496 EDIT: Dang, guess the spittle brigade is really out in force today. Anyone downvoting want to maybe respond in substance as to why they think Firefox should continue ignoring security issues that have been open since the Bush administ…
Well they might have to spend another 18 years to make it a dark scroll bar on Windows when you have a dark theme first :)

From the linked-to-post, it lacks:
* Programmatic output configuration (xrandr, arandr, etc.)
* CLI clipboard access (xsel, xclip)
* Third party app launcher/window switcher (rofi, dmenu, albert, docky).
* Clipboard managers (parcellite, klipper, Gpaste, clipman, etc.)
* Third party screen shot/capture/share (shutter, OBS, ffmpeg, import, peek, scrot, VNC, etc.)
* Color picker (gpick, gcolor3, kcolorchooser)
* xdotool
Lack of Wayland versions of these apps is a deal breakers for me, and I'm going to avoid Wayland until it gets them.

How does it compare to Mario 64 though? Not buying a game for an older gen console in this day and age. Madness.
Kind of a niche thing to comment on, but this release lands a commit I made that enables XDG desktop portals support in Firefox. If you're on KDE Plasma, you can run Firefox with the environment variable `GTK_USE_PORTAL=1` set and it will use KDE file selection dialogs.
Is there a canonical list of all the environment variables Firefox respects and what they do?

Is there any tracking progress, what parts of Firefox are now rewritten in Rust and what will be next?
