#Mozilla #Mastodon
Telegram 原文
#Mozilla has announced that they are closing their Mastodon instance.
But at least, they are hiring a lot, which is nice.
Like:
- Machine Learning Engineer, Gen AI
- Principal Product Manager, Generative AI
- Staff Machine Learning Engineer, Gen AI
- …
Wait, are they hiring for something else than AI ?
Glad you asked:
- Senior Staff Software Engineer, Ads
- Client Analytics Manager
- Product Policy Manager, Ads
- …
Dear Mozilla what you're doing is stupid, dangerous, and opposed to your mission. You need to stop. #ai #aibrowser #mozilla #firefox #webbrowser

Have Wikipedia and Mozilla passed a point of inevitable decline?

Atención usuarios de #Pocket: #Mozilla va a cerrar Pocket, y dejará de funcionar el 8 de julio. Sus datos se podrán exportar hasta el 8 de octubre.
Dos alternativas #opensource y fuera de EEUU: Wallabag, gratis si se hace selfhosting, si no, 11 euros/año.
Raindrop.io - gratis, tiene cuenta pro, en la mayoría de casos no hace falta.
Las dos tienen apps, extensiones y permiten importar datos de Pocket.
Hay bastantes más, me haré un hilo de alternativas si quereis.

Mostly done with moving from Firefox to @librewolf as my daily driver.
Screw Mozilla's "AI" bullshit.
I was interviewed by Mozilla Firefox and talked about decentralized social media (#Fediverse and #Bluesky).
Please feel free to watch and share!

While #mozilla may have backed off from their over-broad rights grant for information posted via #firefox the underlying rationale for why the change is happening now continues to be unclear.
Many seem to think that this has to do with #california #ccpa - as I was exploring that, I took a deeper dive into Mozilla's new #privacy policy.
My takeaway?
It appears that Mozilla may have been sharing more data with Mozilla's ad partners than you expected: https://www.quippd.com/social/posts/2025/03/02/who-else-is-surprised-that-mozilla-uses-technical-and-interaction-data-for-advertising-purposes-on-the-new-tab-page.html
It seems like most every other browser is all in on AI. We have chosen a different path at @Vivaldi
If you would prefer AI not to be integrated into your browser, but still like a feature rich browser, I welcome you to try Vivaldi.

⚠️ Important PSA about #Pocket ‼️
If you used Pocket to save interesting articles you found online, you may be aware that #Mozilla decided to shut down the app and discontinue support.
I vaguely remembered that date was July and had a mini-heart attack when I saw it was actually July 8.
Good news though: if you, like me, have hundreds of articles saved to Pocket, you have until October 8 to request an export of your data (I just did): https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/future-of-pocket
Next up: moving to @wallabag 🤗

Mozilla leadership
(edit: it was in ref to https://web.archive.org/web/20240917173016/https://mozilla.social/@mozilla/113153943609185249 , but still works in 2025)
Third: Firefox will grow from a browser into a broader ecosystem of trusted software. Firefox will remain our anchor. It will evolve into a modern AI browser and support a portfolio of new and trusted software additions.
I had a crash that took down Firefox, so when I restarted it it was the newest version (an update I'd installed, but hadn't restarted after).
I just went looking through the settings pages, which is a habit I've unfortunately had to get into because #Firefox and #Mozilla keep adding new anti-user fuckery in their continuing quest to drive users away from the only product they make that anyone gives two shits about.
And lo and behold, *this* is the new fuckery I found. Enabled by default. And it reinforces the need to go *check* for this bullshit every version update.
Firefox, if you had asked me how to cut my already diminishing trust in you to do the right thing by your users to near zero, I wouldn't have even dreamed this batshittery up. It's so much worse than I would have suggested. I have *all* the crap turned off - silently adding new crap and silently defaulting it to on is 1995-era Microsoft-screwing-the-users.
You feel you need to add this shit? Fine. But show me a dialog asking me whether I want it on or not when that version first starts. Don't turn it on behind my back and HOPE I DON'T NOTICE.

Context: this is the (interim) VP of Firefox admitting that he doesn’t understand the purpose of the slack channel used to report and discuss negative online sentiment and PR about Mozilla.

Konform Browser 140.12.0-103 has been released!
https://codeberg.org/konform-browser/source/releases/tag/140.12.0.103
Some notable news since last week:
- The browser now has a lot more theming options out of the box! This "brings back" the Colorways themes designed by Keely Lascio for Mozilla "Independent Voices" initiative, which were previously part of Firefox for a limited time only. These themes are very lightweight and only affect browser chrome: Negligible impact on installation size and not detectable by webpages. Aesthetics aside, having more builtin color schemes available can be pretty useful for people with multiple browsers/profiles to easily distinguish their domains without having to manually or remotely install new themes to do so. Available at bottom of `about:addons#themes`.
- Fixed multiple media playback issues - certain video or audio formats that would previously play incorrectly or not at all should now play properly.
- Various other smaller fixes and improvements, including some security fixes from upstream. See release notes for details.
In other news, preview release for upcoming v153 is available for anyone interested in testing or browsing on the edge.

Konform Browser 140.13.0-100 has been released and users are encouraged to upgrade.
https://codeberg.org/konform-browser/source/releases/tag/140.13.0.100
This includes all security fixes from Firefox 140.13.0esr as described in https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/advisories/mfsa2026-70/.
Fixes for half of the related CVEs were are included in Konform Browser 140.12.0-104, released last week. Users are still advised to upgrade to latest versions before opening untrusted content. See release notes for details.
Last week also brought in a few improvements and streamlining of settings UI, like making settings related to cross-origin refer(r)ers more complete and understandable.
In other news, Konform Browser sources and build-tooling repositories are now also being mirrored via P2P Radicle Network (@radicle ) for redundancy. If the primary mirror on Codeberg is ever having issues, this more decentralized alternative can hopefully fill in the gaps. Patches and issues can also be submitted via Radicle without need to register account with any particular provider.
konform-browser source: rad:z4D6gZLANjQKHNPdKRSCREnkM8Y4g
konform-browser bsys: rad:z4DPNRhfcgw11WiBVL8HUAHaRT4NW
All commits on releases are signed with same PGP key and verifying these signatures is encouraged before building from these, especially as Radicle is still relatively experimental.
