FireDragon Librewolf fork 🐉

[dr460nf1r3]

Sad to see Plasmafox becoming eol in the future, a lot of this forks features are actually taken from it as you might have noticed already! But I can understand what you mean, its definitely a task to update constantly & in time.

Yeah well there are 1000000 forks/clones/mods of Firefox...
The great thing about our Linux universe is that there are so many alternatives and forks.
I've lost interest some time ago already, so if you can continue the work, that's great. My thanks go to @SGS for the excellent icons, and also to projects like Waterfox and firefox-kde-opensuse.

You are free to take anything you want from Plasmafox as long as you give credits (which you do).

as long as you give credits

Sure

SGS for world president or even minister of NRW to get rid of the Laschet guy

Actually, I have the same result with some other extensions. Temporary containers creates a container for every new tab, containerise allows to set rules for the websites to open in container using regular expressions, and container proxy = easy proxy management. Now, all the websites that I don't use don't waste my cookie space, and my cookies are consistently under 3 MBs

Firedragon is no longer functional for me under Firejail. It opens but does not show pages or open extensions here's an error log:

You need fresh new profile (~/.firedragon folder). Before that you may want to backup.

[dr460nf1r3]

The next update adds:

• a revamped firedragon.cfg (thanks to the Librewolf project its MUCH cleaner & easier to understand now)
• working webconferencing
• a firedragon.overrides.cfg in /usr/lib/firedragon/ with the old strict settings - ready to copy into ~/.firedragon for people who prefer it this way. The install notice also informs on how to do this.

Love this feature! You’re the best

Firedragon not maximizing properly

it was fine until the recent update am not sure how to resolve it and searching online seems to lead me on a endless goose chase with no proper solution. Anyone knows hot to resolve firedragon not maximizing properly any help is appreciated.

[filo]

It should be the privacy.resistFingerprinting feature, which can be disabled:

Firedragon appearance issue - grey borders around any website

The config values you want to be looking at are the following: // -------------------------------------- // # RFP // -------------------------------------- defaultPref("privacy.resistFingerprinting", true); defaultPref("privacy.resistFingerprinting.block_mozAddonManager", true); lockPref("browser.startup.blankWindow", false); // breaks RFP windows resizing Try commenting out / setting to false & restarting the browser. If that solves the issue you can put this into the override file to make i…

Resist fingerprinting blocks the dark pdf mode in Firedragon

Welcome to the forum! This value is actually a quite important one as it enables a lot of features: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Firefox/Privacy#Anti-fingerprinting Thanks for letting us know about this

[jburkhard]

How is profile syncing working? Can’t find a comprehensive explanation.
Thanks In advance.

[dr460nf1r3]

Do you mean using Firefox/Mozilla accounts?

[SameExpert]

PSD? go to ~/.config/psd.conf and add "firedragon" in BROWSERS (where by default "firefox" and "chromium" are there) and then reboot (relogin may also work but not sure).

More info

[jburkhard]

Yeah. I would like to have settings, bookmarks, extensions synced on my 2 Garuda Linux Surface devices.

[jburkhard]

That sounds great. I presume it’s the best practice way to do it?

[dr460nf1r3]

That not possible using this browser unless you create a custom firedragon.overrides.cfg as syncing & all connections to Mozilla servers has been disabled there.

[jburkhard]

Ok. Accepted.
But what about the PSD option?
Wouldn't that be suitable and how are you guys doing it?

And while we're at it: Any good way to use mobile versions / syncing (like iOS and Android)?

[jburkhard]

Hhm, after checking out the Arch-wiki let me ask you:

• Are you using this to sync profiles (not ssdd/tmpfs) between 2 Linux machines
• And if so how?

[jburkhard]

@dr460nf1r3 Didn't you mention syncing FireDragon is build in with Garuda?
And if so, could you provide some advise on how to do it?
Well, actually you didn't.
You only mentioned PSD.
So, am I correct, there is no way to sync profiles with other Linux machines?
