Mozilla VPN: CVE-2023-4104: vpndaemon wrongly implements Polkit authentication
The summary seems to ignore upstream.
They did infact
removed polkit : https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/mozilla-vpn-client/pull/70...
refactor auth using D-Bus: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/mozilla-vpn-client/pull/71...
These are why author's PR was dropped.

Enabling IPv6 support for IPv4 only apps on Linux
RTNETLINK answers: Network is unreachable
So I intentionally decided not to have IPv4 connectivity system wide to catch apps with issues in IPv6 only environment and then carefully evaluate issues and report them to authors: https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/mozilla-vpn-client/issues/... https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Desktop/issues/4121
Dual stack setups tend to hide IPv6 implementation issues and may create illusion that app is IPv6 compatible but in reality it's not.
Clearly my setup is too hostile for home users but as developer I enjoy it a lot.

I almost always ignore the pop-ups from browsers, but that one time I clicked, it tells me to... "Join the Waitlist?" They seem to go hard on talking about their VPN, why can't I "just download it"? What's the problem? Why Waitlist? Is this scam?
Mozilla VPN is still in "beta testing" mode, and while everyone works out issues with clients, subscriptions, and all the other fun, it's better to limit the scope of a test. Mozilla VPN will roll out into more countries over time, and if yo want to know when, there's a "join the waitlist"-button on https://vpn.mozilla.org/.

is mozillavpn cli friendly?
A CLI is available - never used it in a headless environment yet. Hope that helps :) https://github.com/mozilla-mobile/mozilla-vpn-client/blob/main/docs/Command-line-interface.md

Firefox Private Network (only $2.99 a month)
No. The Firefox Private Network browser extension offers set and forget network protection while you shop, bank, and browse in Firefox. It’s lightweight and simple. A VPN is a more robust software application that allows location switching. It’s a separate app you install to secure everything on your device that connects to the internet, including all browsers, social media apps, and banking apps. Learn more if you’re interested in our VPN.

Firefox and fingerprinting
Having said that, people can only track you if you make connections to their domains. If you don't even want the owner of a site you visit directly to know you visit it, use Mozilla VPN (if available in your country) or a slower free alternative like Tor or VPN Gate.

Website Search Hurts My Feelings
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.

Andriod app and Web are synced but..
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.

Firefox on Android: Home Button
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.

Is it me or Firefox?
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.

Mozilla tells extension developers to get ready to finally go mobile
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.

Firefox Address Bar Tips
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)
