Weeks ago I had issues with both Firefox and Waterfox: after a few seconds, web-browser crashed, even several times in a row. It seems BitWarden extension was causing the issue. I disabled it and now Firefox and Waterfox work fine!

@anon2020 me acabo de asomar por curiosidad y descubrí que #firefox de hecho renderiza bien la tipografía pero no así #waterfox instalado como #flatpak. Entonces quizá es algún permiso que tenga que dar adicional...
Respecto a brave, te entiendo, no lo haría por principio, pero completamente te entiendo.
#Waterfox does not work on Windows 7 the information shown on the site is outdated. Because I tried to run it on a VM with this system and it didn't work, I couldn't even install it.
@Jennifer2005x @anon2020 no se puede odiar Firefox y usar navegadores derivados de él.
Preferir los derivados es cuestión de gustos, pero estos lo que hacen es quitar/poner características sobre una base que no podrían desarrollar por sí mismos.
He probado LibreWolf y #Waterfox, me gustó más este último, pero en ambos casos me ha quedado la impresión de que las actualizaciones de seguridad y respuestas a bugs llegan con demora.
In #librewolf I can't switch to dark mode for security reasons, users of #waterfox that's happen in their browsers
#ViernesDeEscritorio desde #VoidLinux, y con el navegador #Floorp.
Un navegador que está al 100% en español, hasta los agregados propios del navegador que en navegadores como #Waterfox se quedan en inglés por más que pongas el español como idioma del navegador.
#Waterfox ha sacado su propio navegador privado en versión beta.

Another security update for #waterfox is available. New version is 6.5.9
It also addresses crashing when playing media files.
@dumpsterqueer I use #Floorp, but will stay away from v. 12, the upcoming AI infested release.
I also use #Waterfox.
Both are #Firefox based so importing bookmarks and continuous use of FF plugins should not be an issue.
For those of you who have switched over to Waterfox, version 6.5.8 is now available.
Ooh! This might be interesting to you guys.

Code Berg is having some growing pains, so here is a copy of:
* Firefox Automatic Install for Linux
* Thunderbird Automatic Install for Linux
* Waterfox Automatic Install for Linux
#Firefox #Thunderbird #Waterfox
I have to use #Outlook for work. I use multiple (#Linux) machines and don't want to manage offline copies of messages on them all. So #browser access is preferred over Thunderbird or similar.
Composing emails in Outlook on #Firefox or #Waterfox is a nightmare. #Bold and #italic can only be toggled following a space (leaving a bold/italic space - shudder). When pasting links, any preceding space is removed, concatenating the link with the previous word. Following the link, increasingly complex sequences of escape (to dismiss the context menu) and either punctuation or [newline, space, left, backspace, right] are required before I can type another character. Etc. It's almost the same with Mullvad (it doesn't delete the space before a link).
I just found none of this happens with #Chrome. #Vivaldi also seems to work fine.
Given all this, I'm reluctantly going to use a non Firefox browser for my work persona.
What is the current recommendation for a reasonably privacy-oriented browser that isn't based on Firefox / Gecko?
This is kinda weird. #Tailscale web site menus do not work in #Waterfox, but seem to work fine in LibreWolf and Edge. Waterfox and LibreWolf are both Firefox based, so I don't know why it doesn't work in Waterfox. [now working]
@TeddyTheBest je ne peux que plussoyer dans ton sens, utiliser depuis que Firefox fait du Google. sur tablette et sur mon téléphone et pc.#Waterfox est a prendre en considération aussi.
I finally figured out why #Waterfox and #Betterbird mess with me so much when I'm switching between programs.
The Waterfox logo is a blue thing that's vaguely square-shaped when I'm looking for something red and circular (Firefox), and Betterbird is red and circular when I'm looking for something blue and circular (Thunderbird). The shapes and colours aren't just inverted. They're messed up. It's been months, and they still look wrong to me.
@carlosfernandezmiguel that's a good opportunity to switch to #Waterfox !
Like really, it being based on ESR solved most of the problems I had with Firefox...
