I am sure that the current trend of changes to #Firefox and the resulting rewrite of #Thunderbird will necessarily affect #SeaMonkey. Essentially, I think SM lacks independent development resources, so if the divergence is quick enough or large enough, SM will have to write a separate mail component or give up.
This reminds me of a Matrix client I was using. The developers of what was then called Riot changed frameworks or something and the downstream client I used ended development.
Mastodon #psa: there's a post going around about #mozilla#firefox and the salary of the Mozilla Corporation CEO. This post is based on a blog post written by an openly transphobic fascist, Brian Lunduke, who has a beef with Mozilla for them treating trans employees like human beings.
It doesn't matter how true the material is; we must not take decisions based on information collated with such motives.
edit: post now changed to not link there. an improvement.
Years ago, a #Firefox fork called #Flock had a social tool built in. I only used it for #Twitter, but it was there. Memory is unclear whether it was a side panel or another Window with different measurements, but it existed.
@musicman Is your #Firefox up-to-date? Some really JavaScripty sites won't render at all in #Palemoon, but I think that's because their JS engine forked from Gecko's some years ago and has been diverging over time.
@bobjonkman I noticed that (at least the first time) #Firefox in a Snap has a long delay before it starts.
No doubt that's time used in navigating through various security hoops or perhaps mounting a special filesystem, but for the most common software (name-brand web browsers), it is unnecessary and unwanted.
I noticed that it did not put something like Node.js in a Snap. IMO, Node is the poster-child for Snap and Flatpak. It shouldn't be in the default install, it likely changes too fast for most distros' LTS model to handle well, and it is widely used by certain developers. If Snap / Flatpak / et cetera have some security hardening, Node (and its related 'npm' package manager) is exactly the place it is needed.
@bobjonkman Yes, that was rather frustrating. I left to run errands and returned to find a pop-up informing me that my regular install of #Firefox would be converted to a snap install. Naturally, the installation stopped while it waited for me to acknowledge this.
@spyro@xpil After more thought, the #Firefox fix is a bit of an ugly hack (and fails to serve Russians who would be tricked by an unexpected latin char). What we really want is for strings that contain a mix of latin and cryllic chars to be highlighted. Make them blink or change the color of those strings.
