Beginning with Firefox 127, users will be prompted to grant MV3 host permissions as part of the install flow (similar to MV2 extensions).

Hooray! Previously Firefox MV3 extensions had to include a custom button in the UI to prompt the user for host permissions at runtime. It generally made more sense to stay on MV2 than switch from a 2-click to a 6-click install procedure.

The difference is, Elon Musk sometimes thinks that it would be pretty neat if his private jets were electric. When has Taylor Swift ever done that??

I listed the 5 possible digits. What’s missing?

IPv6 subnet masks are long, but super easy because of hexadecimal. A bunch of Fs, then [EC8]? then a bunch of 0s.

GNU style is logical, because braces are syntactically a single statement:

while (x == y)
  func1();  // can be replaced by { ... }

However, I prefer to entirely avoid unbraced single statements after while/if:

while (x == y) {
  func1();  // easy to add func2(); later
}

Although this is ok when it fits:

while (x == y) func1();  // brevity!

Technically she was selling for twice the retail price. An item is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it.

That patch was my only contribution to Firefox, and I didn’t research how to update the user-facing changelog. When 122 hits my phone I’ll ping the bugs, to notify the 20 nerds who actually care about the problem. Typing IPv4/IPv6 literals is a pretty niche feature on the modern web.

Currently https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox says “Version 121.1.0, Updated on Jan 19, 2024”

Schrödinger’s cat only “works” if the inside of the box is physically isolated from the environment. Maybe a faraday cage in freefall surrounded by vacuum. That’s probably insufficient, but if you can still hear the meow then it’s woefully insufficient.

There were some pull requests to fix that, but guys at Mozilla said that those pull requests lead to performance regressions and rejected that.

The latest PR was accepted in November, so IPv6 literals work in v122 alpha.

The review is still there: https://www.amazon.com/Joyfay-Giant-Teddy-Bear-White/dp/B00580KX2W/

Keyboard shortcuts are not relevant, because I’m referring to the mouse-only zoom interface.

I’ve added support for Ctrl/Command/Shift in v1.7, but the menu text is unchanged because I don’t know which keys are pressed prior to the click event. This matches Chrome’s behavior.

‘New Tab’ is the default/only behavior currently.

I notice that Chrome supports Ctrl-click (background tab) and Shift-click (new window), and Firefox provides a modifiers array, so I think I could replicate this.

When I highlight the trailing lemmy.ml and select Open Link in New Tab, Firefox takes me to https://sh.itjust.works/c/[email protected] (the original link target) instead of https://lemmy.ml

I don’t think .co versus .com is the relevant factor. I can select xample.co by itself, but not as a substring of http://www.example.com. The rules seem so arbitrary and context-dependent that it behaves more like a dice roll than a usable feature.

If a selection to URL feature cares about TLDs, IP addresses, or text beyond the selection range, then it’s operating at the wrong abstraction layer. (well, technically Goto foo has a couple lines of code to [bracket] bare IPv6 addresses, but that’s not core functionality.)

That doesn’t work in many cases, like the example in the screenshot.
