Firefox mobile config

I’ve briefly tried PostmarketOS on my L5 and it has struck me how usable Firefox is compared to PureOS. Is there a port (on a plan to port) mobile-config-firefox to PureOS?

In the PMOS wiki there’s even a section called “Firefox looks weird”, with an example picture displaying the problem that looks exactly like Firefox in PureOS.

Yeah Firefox looks horrible on pureOS.

We already have it (package firefox-esr-mobile-config) and it should be installed by default, although we’re currently at version 2.0.0 while postmarketOS is already at 3.0.0.

It looks like the right example, which shows mobile-config-firefox in action :stuck_out_tongue:

Looks like the left one here. Is there a chance that removing the firefox directory in $HOME will make it read the mobile config?

It’s not technically possible for it to look like the left one unless you manually enabled scale-to-fit in phoc (in which case you should disable it).

How can one enable “scale-to-fit” in PHOSH? On my L5, some of the screens are not totally visible and I can’t seem to move them around to get to the buttons I need to complete some configurations.

Thanks for any help!

I wrote a blog post about that which should still be useful, hope it helps!

Regarding Firefox on PureOS Byzantium: While mobile-config-firefox being a bit outdated is just unfortunate, being stuck on the previous ESR release (78.*) seems more concerning to me.

You can’t get hacked if you can’t use the browser :smiley:

Firefox ESR (on Byzantium) has since been updated to 91.6, so yay!

Sadly, this means that the old firefox-esr-mobile-config package is now entirely dysfunctional.
If you want to use Firefox on your Librem 5, you can do what did:

git clone https://gitlab.com/postmarketOS/mobile-config-firefox
cd mobile-config-firefox
make
sudo make install

You’ll need to have git and build-essential installed to do this. If you want to know what the result will look like beforehand, check out my toot.

Thanks I was exactly looking for that or heading to the forum to report this issue.
