I've pretty much decided now, after being on #Masto since last year, that whilst it's a nice place to read & chat about stuff like #politics [including #auspol] & #ClimateCrisis, also #MontyPython & #HHGTTG, my cumulative experience so far is that it's utterly useless, & a waste of time even bothering to post, for any tech troubleshooting chat / assistance wrt #firefox [including #FirefoxNightly], #Thunderbird etc. Usually, there's not even any replies at all, let alone actual help. 🤷♀️
So, the following is just me talking to myself again, with new info just to close the loop. 👌
I realised that the specific sub-directory comprising the largest single contribution to the large size of my 976 MB #FirefoxNightly , was:
`/home/MsDropbear/.mozilla/firefox/Nightly/storage/default/moz-extension+++a121e9d2-2d1b-4093-978f-399d7c9f4fcf/cache/morgue/`
Those last two sub-directories' names elicited curiosity & suspicion. They connotated a sense of "unimportance" IMO. I began to wonder; "oh, maybe they're not even necessary?". So i backed up the entire parent directory, deleted all the content inside `.../cache/morgue/`, then nervously launched the browser.
It seems... perfectly fine! Everything still works, all my AddOns & their data, all my History & Bookmarks, passwords... basically everything that i can think of to check, remains present & functional. 😮
I shan't delete the backup copy yet, lest i soon enough finally do discover some terrible problem that removing all those files has created. In the meanwhile, taking this action has made a welcome reduction of my browser overall size from 976 MB to 406 MB. 🎉
Though they're both much smaller than the original total size of my #FirefoxNightly, that same "sub-path" also comprises a major part of the total size for each of my #FirefoxBeta & #Firefox too, so, if #Nightly remains happy for another day or three, then i suppose i can apply the same file purge to both other Foxes to reclaim even more storage space.
We now resume your normal 🦗 🦗 🦗

Does anyone recognise this #FirefoxNightly #extension pls?
/home/MsDropbear/.mozilla/firefox/Nightly/storage/default/moz-extension+++a121e9d2-2d1b-4093-978f-399d7c9f4fcf 🤷♀️
Atm i cannot identify it via searX, nor in either my `about:support` nor `about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox` internal pages. It seems kinda sorta important to understand it, coz atm it's using 570 MB!
It's also present in my #FirefoxBeta & ordinary #Firefox browsers, but in each tis MUCH smaller [otoh, my daily default IS #FirefoxNightly].

@unattributed Just like with your last poll too, i see only your pre-poll descriptive / explanatory posts, then your post-poll commentary posts. I do not see your *actual* polls themselves. Huh?
Do you not use hashtags for the browsers in your polls? If not, then peeps like me who only follow tags NOT peeps, will never see your polls.

In my early months of Masto, last year, in my original #Instance, i personalised my Masto browser view to have five permanently visible columns, then used some #Stylus #css to adjust column widths, font sizes etc for comfy viewing in my browsers. The fifth column was the local timeline, which i used for casual reading during the times my Home column remained fairly "under-nourished".
One day, sometime last year, i learned from someone's helpful post that we could follow hashtags, something nowadays just blindingly obvious, but to me back then was utterly unknown. So i began doing so, adding more over time as needs & wants be.
A month or two ago, 'ish, i suddenly realised that nowadays i was spending ZERO time in that local timeline, given my Home column is always full as a goog, full up to dolly's wax, full to pussy's bow, et al 😜 Hence it was time to again edit my css, & my Masto interface, to revert to the four-column view.
TL;DR: following hashtags is fabulously handy!
Fwiw...

TIL that with #FirefoxBeta now having jumped to v111, it has inherited #FirefoxNightly's Wayland-autodetection, such that in a Wayland session, to launch Beta as a full-W app, not merely an Xwayland one, you no longer need to use the prefacing `MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1` environmental variable in your command launcher. Nightly has had this for *several* versions, & my only surprise is that it's taken this long for it to flow down to Beta.

- nobody else uses #WindowRules ?
- nobody uses #FirefoxBeta ?
- nobody else uses #PlasmaWayland ?
- nobody else exists, it's just #MeAndMyShadow here on this lonely rock?

Both these work fine in Wayland; #Firefox & #FirefoxNightly [ie, reliably, on launch in Plasma Wayland sessions, without any manual user intervention then needed, both these browsers correctly are stripped of their window decorations & titlebars].
Otoh, this fails 100% of the time; #FirefoxBeta [ie, this browser always still retains window decoration & titlebar in Plasma Wayland].
Any gurus here know why, pls? 🤷♀️

Something's recently changed at https://app.wire.com, it seems. Until three days ago, i'd been able to use `user_pref("media.peerconnection.enabled", false);` in my `user.js` file, with Wire working just fine in my pinned FF-Nightly tab, & https://browserleaks.com/webrtc#howto-disable-webrtc confirming WebRTC was fully blocked as intended. Now though, Wire is a totally blank tab, unless i revert that setting to default, ie, enabled. Bummer! 😒

Bis jetzt habe ich unter #Android , aus Bequemlichkeit und Gewohnheit, immer #Chrome genutzt. Jetzt ist ja die Duet Funktion weggefallen und das ist bei so großen Displays einfach nicht schön. Welche Browser nutzt ihr denn unter Android? Ich schwanke zwischen #SamsungInternet , #Brave und #FirefoxBeta .
