Rules
While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.
Rules
-
Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity. -
Don't be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated. -
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning. -
Don't post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources. -
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate. -
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.

@9to5linux@floss.social Text fragments came to Firefox?! That's an exciting update.
"Firefox 131 promises support for text fragments, which can be used to link directly to a specific portion of text in a web document via a special URL fragment"
It says "For web developers", but really this is a great feature for non-devs because it means you don't have to go looking for anchor IDs and you can link a specific sentence of text from an article.
@chris_hayes@fosstodon.org Check this https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/URI/Fragment/Text_fragments for more details.
@9to5linux@floss.social Thanks, yeah I already use it today on Edge + Chrome. ie on Edge I can link the quote above with right click > "Copy link to highlight", and I get: https://9to5linux.com/firefox-131-beta-improves-translations-adds-temporary-site-permissions#:~:text=For%20web%20developers,top%2Dlevel%20sit.
Firefox is my daily driver though, so I've been missing this feature.
@chris_hayes@fosstodon.org Apparently text fragments support is also present in Firefox 130, but it's disabled by default. You can enable it by setting dom.text_fragments.enabled to true in about:config
@9to5linux@floss.social Oh! No way.
@chris_hayes@fosstodon.org Yes way, and it works :D
@9to5linux Hey, it worked! I hope they add scrolling, but this is awesome.
@chris_hayes scrolling works for me, does it not work for you?
@9to5linux@floss.social Oh wait it does, idk why it didn't seem to scroll the first time. Nevermind.
