Definitely a feature I’ve missed from chrome, going to enjoy not having to rely on janky extensions
They have a Firefox translations extension which is pretty good and entirely client side. Unfortunately it didn’t support many languages and didn’t support Chinese or Japanese so it was a deal breaker for me.
FYI, the translation feature is available in the current stable version (v117), but it’s disabled by default. To enable it, go to
about:configand setbrowser.translations.enableto true. I tried it earlier on a German website and it worked well.Reference: https://www.ghacks.net/2023/08/27/how-to-enable-firefoxs-native-translate-feature-in-firefox-117/
This is cool, but beyond anything I wish the linux version of firefox used my default filepicker. It keeps choosing to use the gtk file picker instead of thunar or whatever else I choose.
It can already do that as long as your desktop environment uses portals. You just need to set the appropriate about:config flag or envvar.
TIL Firefox could use the updated GNOME File Picker with thumbnails. Just set
widget.use-xdg-desktop-portal.file-pickerto1instead of2.
I don’t think that’s possible. You can switch between gtk and kde file pickers though.
Nice. That is definitely a feature that Firefox currently lacks compared to Chromium (I don’t use actual Chrome much).
