macOS Nightly now has support for sharing the current tab’s URL via QR Code (Right-click tab, Share > Generate QR Code)

Confused about why only MacOS? But okay. One more extension that's migrated into the browser (I am now team Code All Exensions Directly Into Firefox, security and bloat be damned)

Special thanks to volunteer contributor 1justinpeter who just added speed unit conversion support to the AwesomeBar!

This is actually pretty useful especially because people already use search engines for this, but now it can skip the server.

Calculator next?

New Tab Sections have been enabled by default in Canada!

Gross. This is the ever-expanding "news" section that's slowly transitioning into content indistinguishable from ads. They killed Pocket to make this.

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.
