Tantek ()'s status on Sunday, 13-Oct-2024 19:08:00 EDT Tantek You should setup Search Shortcuts in #Firefox, they have sped up my web browsing experience considerably.
James (@jamesg.blog) wrote up a great summary of how to do so and his experience:
* https://jamesg.blog/2024/10/13/search-engine-shortcuts-firefox/
I use DuckDuckGo as my default search engine, so here are the Search Shortcuts I have setup when I want to explicitly search/lookup something elsewhere, roughly ordered by my perceived frequency of use:
i - IndieWeb - https://indieweb.org/
w - Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
g - Google - https://google.com/
d - MDN Web Docs - https://developer.mozilla.org/
m - Google Maps - https://maps.google.com/
b - Bing - https://bing.com/
a - Amazon - https://amazon.com/
x - Twitter - https://twitter.com/search
If you don’t see one of these search engines in your Firefox Settings: Search Shortcuts, you can visit its URL above and then follow the instructions in James’s blog post to add it to your browser’s list of search engines. Once added there, it will show up in the Search Shortcuts table and you can double-click it and add a one-letter (or more) shortcut as you wish!
What Search Shortcuts have you setup in your browser?

Tantek ()'s status on Friday, 10-May-2024 07:51:00 EDT Tantek For #webDevelopers who like to try out pre-release features in #browsers, in addition to the numerous #Firefox experimental features which everyone has access to in Nightly Builds (as documented by MDN¹) did you know that #Mozilla also has Origin Trials?
Instructions and how to participate on the Mozilla Wiki:
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Origin_Trials
In addition, we’ve linked to the #originTrial documentation pages of #GoogleChrome and #MicrosoftEdge if you want to check those out. Linkbacks welcome of course.

Sorokin Alexei (xrevan86)'s status on Thursday, 04-Jul-2019 20:05:49 EDT Sorokin Alexei @inditoot @alexl What does that even mean, considering !firefox does have agreements with multiple search engines? -
Antón (antonlopez)'s status on Friday, 17-May-2019 12:28:48 EDT Antón Is there any #Firefox addon that forwards Google Maps links/embeds to @openstreetmap counterparts, like the ones for YouTube and Invidious? Thanks.

Zed Ex Fuuma (fuuko)'s status on Wednesday, 17-Jan-2018 15:28:40 EST Zed Ex Fuuma Good afternoon #sdf and the wider #fediverse! I'm getting back into the swing of things finally! Altho it seems Mastodon doesn't like #Firefox ESR, so I might have to download and use Firefox 57! I've switched from #ubuntu to #debian, but debian doesn't seem to like my #printer. Well, it doesn't really matter as I can always print using my #phone. #OpenBSD is next on my #todo list. I've also got to start #phlogging every day again! Can't forget about #gopher. Anyways, it's good to see everyone!

MMN-o ✅⃠ (mmn)'s status on Thursday, 27-Jul-2017 12:04:38 EDT MMN-o ✅⃠ @grmpyoldman That newspaper doesn't want me to read their news on this javascrippled computer that I'm using. Fortunately #Firefox has its "Reader view" that removes the big "YOU NEED TO WHITELIST US" blob. -
Former Bob Jonkman -- Please use the new server at https://gs.jonkman.ca (bobjonkmanformer)'s status on Wednesday, 28-Dec-2016 18:23:01 EST Former Bob Jonkman -- Please use the new server at https://gs.jonkman.ca @steve Does this happen with all browsers? I've got something similar, but only with #Webkit based browsers; #Firefox and #IceCat are fine -
Former Bob Jonkman -- Please use the new server at https://gs.jonkman.ca (bobjonkmanformer)'s status on Wednesday, 28-Sep-2016 13:48:02 EDT Former Bob Jonkman -- Please use the new server at https://gs.jonkman.ca @lnxw48 @strypey #IceCat (and presumably #Firefox) has a setting to disallow that behaviour: "Edit, Preferences, Content, Enable Javascript Advanced, Disable or replace context menus" (uncheck to prevent sites from disabling copy'n'paste). But #NoScript is a better solution. -
MMN-o ✅⃠ (mmn)'s status on Friday, 03-Jun-2016 16:22:54 EDT MMN-o ✅⃠ @maiyannah The people search is available by an OpenSearch definition, so #Firefox at least lets you automagically add it to your search toolbar. -
MMN-o ✅⃠ (mmn)'s status on Friday, 15-Apr-2016 18:50:38 EDT MMN-o ✅⃠ @einebiene I subscribe to all my RSS feeds in #Firefox ("smart bookmarks" or whatever they're called). As mentioned by others a podcast is just ordinary RSS with a media file attached, so it should work fine for that too. -
Johan Vervloet (johanv)'s status on Friday, 25-Mar-2016 09:43:04 EDT Johan Vervloet Now since #firefox will disappear from #fdroid, which browser would you recommend? -
MMN-o ✅⃠ (mmn)'s status on Tuesday, 10-Nov-2015 20:36:34 EST MMN-o ✅⃠ Using #wmii leaves my fingers wanting to press SUPER + L to switch window column. I'm just happy #Gnome has "lock screen" mapped to that, compared to the ^W combo I keep hitting in #Firefox when trying to remove the last word just like in a CLI environment. -

Manuel Ortega (manuel)'s status on Monday, 26-Oct-2015 20:03:36 EDT Manuel Ortega @gustavo @club Qué bueno! y qué casualidad, ahora mismo estaba subiendo esto https://addons.mozilla.org/es/firefox/addon/post2gnusocial/ al repositorio de extensiones de Firefox :-) para compartir en !gnusocial desde #Firefox
Y qué intriga, que aplicación estas desarrollando :D cuenta cuenta :-) -
MMN-o ✅⃠ (mmn)'s status on Wednesday, 14-Oct-2015 10:40:59 EDT MMN-o ✅⃠ An underused feature of !GNUsocial is the #OpenSearch implementation. Whenever you're visiting your GNU social instance with #Firefox (at least, or its derivatives), click the search bar and add your instance's notice search provider! -
Christopher M. Hobbs (cmhobbs)'s status on Friday, 02-Oct-2015 12:21:45 EDT Christopher M. Hobbs Updated #firefox and I get the goofy new tab page every time, even though the newtab url is set to about:blank, homepage is about:blank, and firefox is supposed to start with a blank page. This is frustrating as hell. /cc @jezra -
MMN-o ✅⃠ (mmn)'s status on Friday, 25-Sep-2015 10:25:00 EDT MMN-o ✅⃠ Bra rekommendation. Till #Firefox m.m. kan du installera #PrivacyBadger till att börja med.
