How should we ship Firefox next release?

We're working on Drauger OS 7.8 right now, and we wanted to know how the community feels. Should we ship #Firefox ESR as a native package, or normal @firefox@fedia.io as a #flatpak?

We won't ship normal Firefox as a native package, as that would require some complicated packaging mechanics to allow. And, we can't ship Firefox as a snap as, with the way we build our ISOs, we cannot ship snaps.

So, thoughts? What would you prefer? Vote and discuss below!

Or what do you use them for? Isn't it now quite easy for websites to track outside of just cookies?

Firefox

Firefox is overwhelmingly a desktop browser.

  • Mobile Usage (as a percentage of its total user base): While exact figures for "percentage of Firefox's own users" are less commonly published directly, we can infer from its very low global mobile market share (around 0.5-1.5%) and its higher desktop market share (around 5-7%) that a very small minority of Firefox users are on mobile devices. It's likely in the range of less than 10-15%, and possibly even lower. Its strength and history are firmly rooted in desktop Browse.

Google Chrome

Chrome is dominant on both platforms, but mobile contributes a larger share to its overall user base.

  • Mobile Usage (as a percentage of its total user base): The data consistently shows that Chrome's mobile usage (smartphones and tablets combined) makes up a significant majority of its total user base. Given that mobile internet traffic is 60%+ of overall traffic, and Chrome commands a large share of both mobile and desktop, it's clear that well over half of Chrome's users are on mobile devices. Estimates suggest this figure is around 60-70% of its total users are on mobile (primarily smartphones).

Apple Safari

Safari's user base is heavily, almost exclusively, mobile.

  • Mobile Usage (as a percentage of its total user base): This is where Safari stands out. Because Safari is the default browser on iPhones and iPads (iOS and iPadOS), its user base is overwhelmingly mobile. Its global mobile market share is around 20-23%, while its global desktop market share is only 7-9%. This indicates that a very large majority, likely 75-85% or even higher, of Safari's total users are on mobile devices (iPhones and iPads).

Others

It's worth adding that an estimated 20-40% of Brave's user base is mobile and 20-30% of Vivaldi's.

I think we can all agree that #firefox would benefit with new leadership who utterly refuse to add new features, or, indeed, do anything. #internet #webdev

I don't know how recent this change is but I noticed #Firefox removed https:// from the address bar so now every link and every website I visit looks insecure. I know there is a padlock icon next to the address bar but it doesn't seem quite as easily scannable to me.

Another unnecessary macOS global keyboard shortcut change inspired a bad change in Firefox.

Apple hijacked ⌃↩ to open a context menu. Firefox used that to normalize input text to a .com URL.

⌘↩ in the address bar used to open a new tab. Firefox thought adding .com was more useful than opening a new tab, so moved new tab to ⌥↩, inconsistent with ⌘ + click opening a link in a new tab.

Mozilla officially refuse to support UnifiedPush, which was incredibly exciting and something I was eager to see land.

Rules

While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don't be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don't post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. Don't post conspiracy theories
    Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.

  5. Don't accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
    Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.
