Yes— geode brings location awareness to Firefox through a purpose-built, open-source, zero-trust geolocation service that operates independently of OS-level location APIs. Unlike legacy implementations that trigger full-system GPS activation, background location polling, or coarse IP-based fallbacks, Geode uses local sensor…
Fullscreen mode gets serious in Firefox 3—not as a novelty, but as a rigorously engineered efficiency intervention grounded in keystroke-level modeling (KLM), attention residue theory, and empirical UI performance measurement. When activated via F11 (or Cmd+Shift+F on macOS), it eliminates…
Yes—starting with Foxit Reader version 12.3 (released March 2023), official support for inline PDF viewing in Firefox is fully implemented—but not via legacy NPAPI plugins. Instead, Foxit leverages Firefox’s built-in PDF.js renderer while injecting lightweight, sandboxed JavaScript hooks to enable…
True tech efficiency in browser use means reducing measurable cognitive load, memory pressure, and authentication friction—not adding more tools. The four experimental Firefox extensions covered here— Temporary Containers, Tridactyl, Decentraleyes, and Firefox Multi-Account Containers—are not “speed boosters” in the marketing…
Yes— FlagTab groups your Firefox tabs with colors, and it does so in a way that measurably improves tech efficiency for engineers, researchers, and remote knowledge workers. Unlike generic tab managers, FlagTab leverages Firefox’s native WebExtensions API to assign persistent,…
Firefox’s performance degradation is rarely caused by the browser core—it’s almost always attributable to extensions. To find out which add-ons are slowing down Firefox, open about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox in a new tab, then click “Inspect” next to each extension to view its…
True tech efficiency means reducing measurable cognitive load, task-switching latency, and energy waste—not installing more tools. Fennec (a.k.a. Mobile Firefox) Alpha 2 is not a marketing stunt; it is a rigorously engineered milestone that cuts median page load time by…
True tech efficiency for web-based workflows means eliminating friction—not adding complexity. You can fashion your Firefox to create quick, custom extensions—without writing code, installing dev toolchains, or risking security—by leveraging Firefox’s built-in web-ext CLI and manifest v3-compliant boilerplates. This approach…
Firefox VPN is a lightweight, subscription-based WireGuard®-based tunnel service integrated directly into Firefox for Android and desktop browsers—but it is not a full-system proxy, does not route DNS queries outside your device by default, and offers no browser fingerprinting protection.…
True tech efficiency means eliminating measurable sources of cognitive friction, security debt, and computational waste—not chasing historical artifacts. The “early adopter download of the day mozilla firefox 1.5” is not an efficiency opportunity; it is a documented hazard. Firefox 1.5…
True tech efficiency means minimizing measurable cognitive load, energy waste, and security risk—not installing outdated software under the illusion of novelty or control. The “early adopter download of the day firefox 2 0 rc 2 al” is not an efficiency…
Dragging tabs directly from Google Chrome to Firefox is not supported, does not function reliably across OS versions (Windows 11 22H2+, macOS Sonoma, Ubuntu 23.10), and introduces measurable inefficiencies: it triggers redundant rendering pipelines, forces cross-browser DOM serialization (adding 850–1,400…
