US, mid thirties, and I not only drive a manual transmission, I go out of my way to insist upon it. For example, I own a truck and an SUV made in the '90s because it’s difficult to find newer ones without an automatic.

Not for long if Lennart has anything to say about it, I’m sure.

I have a similar issue (also Firefox on [K]ubuntu 22.04) every time I open a link on a logged-in site in a new tab, but in my case merely refreshing the page is enough to get me logged back in.

I assume is most likely the fault of the fairly aggressive mix of extensions I’m running rather than Firefox itself, but I haven’t actually tried to troubleshoot it yet.

“Ghettos” aren’t just apartments; they’re specifically segregated (and not by the minority’s choice) and often substandard/impoverished/oppressed.

Trying to equate ghettos with mere high density is nothing but racist NIMBY bullshit.

My title was intentionally flipant.

No, your title was rude and condescending. “Flippant” is a different thing.

Sometimes there is so much configuration options a GUI would scare most users.

Or if it didn’t, it would be because the dev limited the options displayed so much that it would cease to be useful for most users. (This is especially true when different users are likely to use different subsets of options rather than having the majority of them using the same subset.)

Try changing the capitalization or using “0” instead of false or something. Otherwise, I give up and you should ask for help in a Mozilla forum or chatroom.

I appreciate the effort to explain it but dude, that’s all totally foreign to me. You guys literally speak different languages.

That’s fair; it’s literally a math/computer science/computer engineering topic.

Personally, I’m of the opinion that more of that sort of thing ought to be taught to everybody in K-12 (because you aren’t really computer literate unless you can automate workflows, if not by “programming” then at least by scripting), but that’s a rant for a different thread.

Anyway, I’m sorry about Firefox not behaving the way you want it to, and hope that it improves for you in the future.

boolean is a totally different thing in 3d software. It’s where you remove something from another something or combine.

Nah, it’s exactly the same thing. 3D software is just applying a Boolean function to two sets of points at the same time, instead of one scaler piece of data like reading a setting.

In other words, Firefox is doing f(a), where f is a unary Boolean function (identity or negation) and a is a single true/false value, while your 3D software is doing f(A, B), where f is a binary Boolean function (union a.k.a. AND, intersection a.k.a. OR, etc.) and A and B are vectors of true/false values representing whether particular points of space are contained within object A or B respectively.

(Some 3D software might be more sophisticated than that, using mathematical expressions of the object boundaries to get exact answers instead of interpolating between points, but I’m just trying to convey the basic concept here.)

“Boolean” is true/false.

After reading the parent comment, I [think I] finally understand what you’re on about.

1. There’s no reason to suspect the “recently bookmarked” list would be tracked; that’s just downright paranoid.

2. Here’s how to disable it.

Or at least accounts. This ain’t the '90s with single-user OSs anymore!

Personally, I’d like it to be able to do it sometimes without having to set it to happen every time. In other words, I’d like a “restore previous session” UI element in the history interface.

I should probably look into some of the extensions folks in this thread are talking about.

If you want them to be recoverable, then you’ve got a bit of a misunderstanding about what private browsing mode is for. Not saving history is basically its whole “thing.”

Huge budget surplus

That’s an indication of mismanagement because it just means they’re refusing to fund all the stuff they’re supposed to be doing.

Trust me, you don’t want to be trying to maintain legacy Jython code at this point, let alone use it for anything new. All the “normal” Python infrastructure like Pip etc. has moved on and broken compatibility, so you’d have to find and maintain locally the last working compatible version of every single package you use. I suppose you could use Java libraries, but the impedance mismatch trying to use LBYL explicitly typed stuff in EAFP python is terrible. It’s just a horrible mess.

is Jython still a thing?

No. (Source: I had to try to keep its zombie corpse shuffling along at my last job.)

Ride a bike.
