Unmentioned is first class vertical tabs. It's still experimental, so you have to enable it via about:config. Set sidebar.verticalTabs to true.

It's still experimental

and it's been that way for the past few versions, which is probably why they don't mention it in the changelog just yet

anyone have expand-on-hover thingy to recommend? can't close an item in the sidebar with minimal clicking.

[-] joyjoy@lemm.ee 2 points 2 days ago

I use middle click to close tabs.

[-] dingdongitsabear@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 days ago

Do you just mean an easy way to close tabs accessed via the vertical sidebar? I've been using this custom FF theme which has an option for a close tabs button alongside tabs when you hover over them. You can also use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + W to close the current tab

"Firefox now has a new anti-tracking feature, Bounce Tracking Protection": Nice! This is why I use Firefox.

However the integration of tabs in the sidebar takes much longer than I thought would be. Well I guess its ready when its ready. Does anybody use this feature “Picture-in-Picture: auto-open on tab switch”? I had it enabled for testing, but it was totally annoying.

Picture-in-Picture: auto-open on tab switch is totally annoying.
I also tested it once, and turned it back off immediately.

Some suggestion to make it more useful:

Its also missing some optional settings, such as if it should apply to say embedded videos from third party sites (like YouTube player in a blog post). And an option to enable that functionality for certain websites only. And if the tab should be opened up automatically only when a video is currently playing or always.

Embedded videos are particularly annoying.

[-] Steve@communick.news 3 points 3 days ago

Nope. I wouldn't nitpick this situation or that.
That one time I tried it, I realized that when I click away from the tab I don't care if see the video anymore. Listening to the audio is all I want in that moment.

I wished they published more detailed info on how to hook up new ML assistant for looking up highlighted text. I tried seeing it up with existing Ollama set up and couldn't figure it out.

Which Api calls is it making exactly?

I feel they tried to make it too simple with the llama file. There are a ton of existing options people already have set up.

[-] Kissaki@beehaw.org 1 points 2 days ago

I don't see any mention of an ML assistant?

[-] daq@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 days ago

This feature came out several versions ago. I was just complaining.

Wow, I didn't know Firefox was an Anarcha Feminist
