I use it all the time and have for years. Just seems like a weird feature to lock behind about.config and say it's not supported while they still support things like Pocket.

I think I have it enabled too and just forgot about it. It really should be a checkbox next to themes or something.

True, a lot of things are too inaccessible so that people even think they dont exist. Like the task manager or profiles.

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 months ago

Yup, and I use both. I only use profiles for checking stock Firefox to help support people without my setup.

Containers are also awesome and not advertised well enough, it completely replaced profiles for me.

I use an "insecure" profile (basically just RFP etc off) for Netflix and other sucky sites.

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

Eh, container tabs and disabliing strict checks per site seems to solve my problems.

[-] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 2 points 5 months ago

But no

  • random Netflix addons
  • DRM enabled

I mean, I have my custom app desktop entry, so why not use a separate profile for that crap?

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

Sure, why not?

[-] boredsquirrel@slrpnk.net 1 points 5 months ago

Interesting, I need to try that out.

it used to be visible as an option in 'customize toolbar'. it was deprecated and deemed 'unsupported' way back around v89, but at least they kept it available as a 'hidden' setting.

i use it on every pc i have firefox installed on (which is, well, all of them that aren't 'terminal only').

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

Yeah, I remember it being there too. I really can't stand the default UI of any browser, everything is just so... big and bright. I use dark theme and compact mode where possible.
