Firefox 127.0 Release Notes
  • Hopefully they have a fix for the battery drain on Android. People have been reporting unusually high drain on Reddit, on Bugzilla and on Mozilla support since January and they still haven't managed to fix it.

  • Mozilla is adding tab grouping, vertical tabs, profile management, and local AI features to Firefox
  • Well here's the drain I was talking about at least. 18% in less than an hour and thirty minutes of use for a web browser isn't normal. In an hour of use a Chromium browser only drains 6-7 ish % for me. This has been an issue for I guess the past month or so? It drove me crazy so I had to uninstall. And it's not just me either, there are tons of posts from people with the same problem on Reddit. If you don't have problems, good for you I guess.

  • Mozilla is adding tab grouping, vertical tabs, profile management, and local AI features to Firefox
  • That's all fine and good but Firefox on Android is currently in a sorry state. No per-site process isolation, buggy, can't keep tabs open, slow, choppy, drains battery. Had to uninstall it on my brand new Galaxy S24+ and my Pixel 6 Pro because it was draining so much battery. When are you going to finally stop ignoring Firefox Android, Mozilla?

  • Is anyone else having an issue with the nav bar ending up on the side of the acreen in portrait mode?
  • It was a bug a while back. It went away, now it came back. It's been here again for what? 1,2 months now? Actually, now that I think about it, it's been an on and off bug ever since Android gained gesture navigation and the gesture bar LMAO.

    Hi, I'm back with an update! My boy is almost done with the treatment! He's doing really well! One more shot left!

    He's back to his playful self (yay!!!). He's running around, jumping, chasing stuff! Overall, he's just a lot more mobile. Also, he's gotten a lot more affectionate around me these past 4 days. Do you think he understands that by bringing him to the vet, I'm helping him feel better?

    Went to the vet yesterday since my boy was acting weird. Turns out he was showing very mild signs of paralysis.

    Vet said he needed shots to boost his nerves and if he doesn't respond well in a couple days he'll do an X-ray and decide on a further course of treatment. He's back to purring in my lap again. Hug your kitties extra tight for me tonight.

    Am I missing anything

    Just checking, am I missing any Lemmy apps? My goal is to try them all. I'm mainly using Liftoff at the moment.
