And FWIW, Firefox already supports them on android; this is about desktop support.

Keep in mind though that with Firefox Sync, all your data is encrypted, whereas a generic sync of your profile folder will have all that data on your sync server without encryption.

Ha, I'll be all to happy to worry about a Firefox monoculture if it ever seems we're trending in that direction.

No worries, thanks again!

Which Mozilla projects started out as free and are now non-free, i.e. no longer under an open source (or even viral open source) licence?

It was collapsed for me at first, and buried under a lot of other comments, but a workaround is mentioned here. Unfortunately, that didn't seem to work for me, but deleting the Flatpak and deleting all associated data, and then reinstalling it, I think did the trick.

Although it does now show this warning, which doesn't sound great.

Edit: actually, I think that was the reason I concluded the first workaround didn't work, but looking at that URL, this might just have been introduced in Firefox 128, which is newer than the old version of Tor was based on. So it looks like both worked.

So... How do we do we're running an outdated version, and what is the fix that requires manual intervention?

What the hell, that headline makes it sound like a threat.

Not super weird that it takes a lot less time to destroy everything.

And keep in mind that there's also a big part that's not in SF.

Mozilla today also has that base, but it still has about 1000 employees IIRC. It also pays more than $100k, even for EU devs, and of course also has to pay taxes and what not on top of that. And don't forget the infrastructure, for running builds, distributing the software, running Firefox Sync, etc., which does not come cheap.

Oók een uitstekende keuze! En volgens mij ook behoorlijk vernederlandst.
