librewolf-winupdater VS Fenix

LibreWolf Portable and the LibreWolf WinUpdater by @ltguillaume are now included optionally in the windows installer. If you have any problems or feedback please leave it here.

use this: https://codeberg.org/ltguillaume/librewolf-winupdater

I hope you'll find the time to download the new PowerShell script from there, put it into the same folder as LibreWolf-WinUpdater.exe and try it out (right-click, "Run with PowerShell"). You can post your findings here or in the issue on Codeberg (or create a new one on GitHub if you already have an account there).

/u/AbrarFN The build process was changed, which also meant the download location was changed somewhat. I wasn't (made) aware of this until the new release was already online. I updated LibreWolf WinUpdater within the hour, you can get it from https://codeberg.org/ltguillaume/librewolf-winupdater/releases/latest or https://github.com/ltguillaume/librewolf-winupdater/releases/latest

Just use https://github.com/ltGuillaume/LibreWolf-WinUpdater for automatic updates.

Functionality is simply not implemented for some reason, but there are workarounds to that like using a package manager or installing the updater they recommend in their site

This is about the extension. Since u/DotaFSS was asking about an app, I assume his question was with regard to https://github.com/ltGuillaume/LibreWolf-WinUpdater

This won't update LibreWolf automatically. When a new version is released, you have to manually install the new setup.exe again. If you want to get notified when a new version is released, you can get the unofficial LibreWolf Updater extension You can also take a look at the unofficial LibreWolf-WinUpdater, which automatically updates LibreWolf on Windows when its not running.

Apparently it has some default settings that the mods don't agree with. If you do use it anyway make sure you keep it updated with your package manager on Linux or a tool like LibreWolf-WinUpdater on Windows.

It's been that way for years: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/20351

I lost hope it and other issues would be fixed and moved to Chromium on Android.

Firefox for Android was rewritten pretty much from scratch circa 2020. Collections are one of its many unfinished and poorly-thought-out features, and they never got around to implementing the ability to sync Collections to desktop. It was a known problem in 2019, while the rewrite was being worked on, and Mozilla doesn't appear to have given it any attention in the years since.

People have been asking for this for over a year via Mozilla's current feedback channels, and for two years on the previous issue-reporting venue, to no avail. It was automatically moved from the old venue to Bugzilla ostensibly because Bugzilla makes it easier to track and work on issue reports, but they haven't actually worked on that issue report at all.

Known issue, not a new issue, and unlikely to be fixed any time soon, unfortunately. I had this before I stopped using the Android version a year ago. It was reported as a bug at least a year ago on their old issue tracker, and later moved to the current one, where last activity on the issue report was three months ago. No apparent progress toward any fix.

Since Fenix's first release they've been saying that the absurd limitations on add-ons support were only temporary, and they would have quickly increased the number of supported ones.

And instead absolutely nothing changed for three years.

Furthermore the insane bugs from which Fenix suffers from its release (https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/12731) (making it unbearable) have been left hanging, focusing the few resources on dumb ui experiments.

So everything suggested that Mozilla did not care of its Android browser, or actually that they were deliberately sabotaging it.

This news instead represents a huge improvement, hence my bewilderment.

I don't know what people who downvoted my message thought I meant.

This was sadly deprecated on Android: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/fenix/issues/12099

It was such a huge loss for me that for at least a year I used the outdated pre-Fenix. Now they still work on Desktop but they just stopped working on Android (althouth the bookmarks itself are synced-up)
