I try to whenever I can. I feel that the best way to fight the stereotype produced by the media of #Tor being this shady, crime-related thing is for everyone to use it as much as they can for everything they need. And in the face of the just legalized US mass hacking act, legitimizing Tor is more important than ever.
Some sites like my bank and some other accounts I have online won't work with it, so I fall back to #Firefox there. I also "whitelist" a few sites like Diaspora, Quitter and Archive.org that I use with Firefox to save a little on the Tor bandwidth (streaming, etc). -

@lnxw48 @strypey #IceCat (and presumably #Firefox) has a setting to disallow that behaviour: "Edit, Preferences, Content, Enable Javascript Advanced, Disable or replace context menus" (uncheck to prevent sites from disabling copy'n'paste). But #NoScript is a better solution.

Working to reorganise my #bookmarks a bit. The bookmark manager in #Firefox is actually very nice, but has one *major* flaw: if you do a search, there is no way to highlight a result and from there go to its parent folder. So there is no way to find out where - in the folder tree - something is stored. Which means you have to work hard to keep that tree well-organised otherwise you'll likely "lose" things that you know are there - but not where (and it's that much harder to gather things together that have become distributed over several trees) --- I've been reorganising for an hour or more, but *still* haven't found where those firewall-related bookmarks are that I need to put all in one place!

In Firefox this setting is called network.http.fast-fallback-to-IPv4 (was set to default boolean true). I set it to FALSE but that doesn't seem to change the test result :( #networking #IPv6 #firefox #fastfallback
-
After correcting that, and testing again, I get: "Your browser has real working IPv6 address - but is avoiding using it. We're concerned about this." Seems to be related to another setting, for "fast fallback" (Chrome/Chromium has this mechanism, too): test both connections, if IPv4 is faster, comntinue with that... #networking IPv6 #firefox #chrome #chromium #fastfallback
-
In case you're wondering why some things IPv6 don't work, here's a useful service: http://test-ipv6.com/ . Guess what: I found out that my Firefox was set to (default!) disable IPv6 DNS lookups - only direct-to-IP connections would work. I had no idea (and why on earth would that be the default - still)?? #networking #ipv6 #firefox

Very young virus embedded in #firefox 31

The #Firefox spellchecker redlines "performative". I approve. (Also "spellchecker" and "redline", BTW.)
-
Interesting to see that #Firefox has made its way back into !debian stable. Perhaps this means that an old branding quarrel has settled?
-
I suddenly and unexpectedly find myself using #Firefox rather than #Iceweasel this morning. Feel slightly soiled. https://lwn.net/Articles/676799/ #Debian

#Firefox just disabled #RequestPolicy because it isn't signed by #Mozilla. The Web is going to be unbearable on that computer for a while.
-
@tregeagle I remember that! Wasn't silly enough to try it. #Firefox with way too many extensions should be the end-of-level boss monster. Or less anachronistically, #StarOffice.
