  • Yes, but IDK of any other way to change the buttons ISOmorph was asking about. The only other way is to find and change/remove them in FF source code and recompile which needs a supercomputer to do, otherwise it may take days to recompile. I assume he doesn’t want to waste days on recompiling, so that’s one way to change things. With GTK3-NOCSD (mostly + some other customizations) my title bar always looks the same way, no matter what changes Mozilla make to it:



  • If Firefox is using GTK (GTK3 to be precise) to decorate the window, even in KDE, that might be some good news for him, altough I could be wrong bc I’ve never used Plasma for this long (30 days tops, long ago) to get to the point of wanting to change the title bar of anything. In Cinnamon (6.4.7) I’m using an old workaround for cases like this. It’s still somewhat maintained. I can’t guarantee it will work with Plasma but it doesn’t hurt to try: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gtk3-nocsd-git After installation, open (or create) ~/.XSession and put these two lines in it: export GTK_CSD=0 export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libgtk3-nocsd.so.0 and reboot.

    This is how I’ve been replacing GEdit’s CSD with a normal title bar, as well as Firefox’s:








  • I’m using Copilot to help with bash scripting when I get stuck with the script. I’m aware they’ll be able to see all of my scripts but: • I’m willing to share all of my scripts with anyone who wants them, so I’m OK with it, if MS can see them. They’re all FOSS literally and figuratively. • Copilot is incredibly helpful with scripts, much more helpful than the 10 year old kid named ChatGPT. When I ask Copilot to explain a certain part of the script, it explains it in an understandable way, unlike quite a few other AIs.




  • Sounds… disappointing, really. While the feature of track blocking sounds appealing at first, that feature is the main reason I abandoned Firefox (after 15 years of using it) and all FF-like browsers that have it. More and more websites stop functioning properly with tracking blocked and I can’t login to my profile. With these particular sites I have nothing to worry about tracking but unfortunately even with disabled tracking protection, they still refuse to let me log in. It’s unlikely that the websites would remove the tracking functions, so until the developers of FF and FF-like browsers find a way to circumvent this problem with logging in, I don’t see a reason for me or anyone else to use such a browser.
