See “What are my options if I want to install unsigned extensions in Firefox?” in the FAQ here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Add-ons/Extension_Signing#FAQ
If you’re on Linux, you may have that about:config flag even in your distro-provided Firefox Stable build…
It’s mostly intended for webdevs wanting access to new web standards ahead of time and extension developers, who can install unsigned/development versions of their extensions into there.
It’s certainly not a must-have for any devs out there…
I’m excited for these, especially with them likely coming for stable Firefox soon, too. My $DAYJOB hands out Ubuntu laptops and every time, we have to scrape off the Firefox Snap, because e.g. saving images doesn’t work and the Downloads directory is in some mystical place somewhere underneath ~/snap/. These APTs will almost restore the usability of other distros…

I don’t see why they should send the URL somewhere. For Googley reasons, most tracking parameters start with “utm_”. You can remove those pretty naïvely, generally without links breaking.
If it helps, the Windows/Linux logic is basically:
Well, and Ctrl, Alt, Shift also serve for alternative characters when you’re typing. And some application or OS shortcuts wildly combine modifiers for more complex keybindings. And of course, some applications just didn’t get the note of how this generally works. I won’t claim, it really follows rules, but yeah, it’s not generally complete chaos either.
I think, what you’re describing used to be a thing, but there’s now a somewhat different, more granular way of rebinding keybindings:
However, it should be said that these will only apply within KDE applications. If you’re using third-party stuff, like Firefox, GIMP, VLC etc., they won’t apply.
If you really want to go hard on rebinding all kinds of keys for any application, you can also do things like these:
As cool as both of these are, and as much as I would still generally recommend picking KDE for these kind of customization possibilities, I wouldn’t recommend overdoing either. You won’t be able to use other PCs anymore…
Pictures are probably better than a thousand words here:
Hmm, they are for me. It just switches to the left-most unpinned tab.
I use Fira Sans and Fira Mono for everything.
Apparently, that will arrive with Plasma 6.
It says "Version Fixed In: 6.0” here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=438883
And the last comment in there, does also specify so.
Apparently, this is now part of kdeplasma-addons, so this might be in a separate package, which may not be pre-installed by your distro. I really don’t know, if it means anything, but Nate felt it worth mentioning here: https://pointieststick.com/2023/10/27/these-past-2-weeks-in-kde-wayland-color-management-the-desktop-cube-returns-and-optional-shadows-in-spectacle/
The root HTML element of that has an ID called “editBookmarkPanel”.
You can set the width or a larger font size, for example, depending on what you want.
At $DAYJOB, I was evaluating a data collection software and needed some files for it to read. I had some random text files top-level in my home-directory, so I figured, I would just tell it to read from ~.
I expected that it might read directories recursively by default, but I could just stop it, if it does that.
What I didn’t expect, is that yes, it does read recursively, but also that by default, it deletes the files it has read. It had eaten a good chunk of my home-directory when I realized.
Now you might think, it doesn’t just delete the files, it transfers them to a different place, so surely, the data still exists. And you’d be right.
However, while it reads from directories recursively, it doesn’t retain the directory structure. So, the contents of my home-directory were all still there, just completely flattened in one big folder.
I can recommend Starship.
In Dolphin, you can click to the right of the path, like you would in a textbox.
I admit, it’s not the most intuitive method either, but when you hover your mouse there, it does change over to a text editing cursor, shows a caret-like line to the right of the path and will eventually throw up a tooltip that you can “Click to Edit Location”…
I also find it incredible, that there’s no GUI button to edit the path. You have to just kind of know that Ctrl+L does that…
Nah, Alpine is independent. It’s one of the more popular non-GNU/Linux distros.
The penguin is great, because it’s absolutely unprofessional. I’d rather Linux be a fun community get-together than a sterile corporate brand.
If you type “about:profiles” into the URL-bar and create a fresh profile there, does it also happen in that?
(It will practically be like a factory-reset Firefox, except you can go back to your current data/profile.)
