The loss of support for 32 bit Linux systems feels like a bit of a concern, use of older hardware just for web browsing is no longer possible.

[–] nyan@lemmy.cafe 4 points 8 hours ago

For what it's worth, Pale Moon can still be built for 32-bit Linux ( fish through contributed builds, or build your own). Sufficient for many, many sites, although a few will break or require workarounds.

[–] RalfWausE@blackneon.net 6 points 11 hours ago

Yup, i personally own various 32 bit machines that are completely usable in daily driving but the steady decline of supported programs to run on them is forcing them into more "retro computing" roles. Honestly, its a shame...

On the one hand, the PDF editing feature could be useful, but on the other, it's a sign of yet more feature creep and I don't know whether I'm justified in feeling concerned about it.

[–] BurgerBaron@piefed.social 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Still no HDR.

[–] cimmerian@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

Exactly what I was looking for in the update… mad that it still isn’t in

Downvoted for not giving any sort of summary of the larger features and fixes

[–] Krudler@lemmy.world 20 points 13 hours ago (2 children)

Can you not just click and read the web page? It seems to be all there.

The Firefox browser itself tells me there is an update. An update could be interesting to read about here and if so I think it makes sense to make the case with the highlights. Like, why did you find it interesting enough to put here?

Personally, I'm pretty inclined to downvote any post that is a link without a short summary or context. I appreciate that's not everyone.

And personally I think it's important to say why you downvote. The poster can choose what to do with that information and I've got no expectations for them to change how they do things

Why? The summary of Firefox release notes is the Firefox release notes.

I agree there should be a summary for other things, esp. videos or long articles, but for release notes, they're already generally in a condensed format. This one is a few pictures with a couple sentences explaining what's new in them.

[–] porcoesphino@mander.xyz 4 points 9 hours ago

What's new:

edit PDFs
new privacy protections
tab group previews
dropped support for 32-bit linux

And honestly I'd stop there and say "and more"

[–] porcoesphino@mander.xyz 4 points 10 hours ago

Why post it here? I personally don't think every Firefox release is interesting enough to post to the !technology@lemmy.world channel so when a release is interesting enough to post here I figure there are reasons and that they are easy to note along with the URL.

I suspect most people have some feelings are the same because I suspect most people would be unimpressed if the channel included every minor release of everyone's torch apps. The exact reasons something is interesting varies for people. For some people anything Firefox might be enough. For others it might only be interesting when they do something big like trying to come up with a new solution for tracking ads. Since its a community, I kind of think a good post needs to include the highlights of what is meant to be interesting to help out the others in the community, especially if they might not naturally see the same things as interesting

[–] porcoesphino@mander.xyz 1 points 9 hours ago

Also, the summary of the release notes is not the release notes. You cared about every dot point in those release notes equally? There are no larger broad changes?

[–] Darkenfolk@sh.itjust.works -5 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

Until it's not, which Is the biggest problem that I have with so called "link aggregators".

What is the use of a decentralized network of communities if all the material can still be nuked from outside?

[–] Krudler@lemmy.world 8 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah well it is.

Just go click the link and stop bullshitting.

Until it's not

How relevant are Firefox release notes after the subsequent release? That's one resource I don't mind not being archived.
