Returned error’s aren’t always helpful or meaningful. I agree, but see my remark as ‘good practise’ while coding. A logfile can be helpful for finding issues you did not think of when writing a script.

@Emma is there a way to apply these customizations to librewolf? I recall seeing something before but can’t find it now.

Yeah, if you have Librewolf installed, running the install.sh script (or using the Friendly-Fox icon) should ask you which browser you want to customize. Unless that’s the only Firefox-based browser you have installed, in which case it should just select it without a prompt. It should also support Mullvad Browser and Tor Browser, but I haven’t tested to verify. I have tested Librewolf flatpak, and it works without issue.

Thanks! that worked. I have LibreWolf - Flatpak, and it worked beautifully!

Hello.
What do you think of FireFox’s UI?
I will also post a screenshot.
http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/f/firefox-esr-mobile-config/
In this, “firefox-esr-mobile-config_3.2.0-1_all.deb”
sudo dpkg -i firefox-esr-mobile-config_3.2.0-1_all.deb
You can use it by installing it.
If you like it, please try using it.

I still prefer Firefox ESR’s toolbar at the top of the screen.

Just wanted to comment again how incredibly useful your continued work is on making desktop Firefox usable on mobile Linux. Got the update for FF ESR 128 in, it broke the UI horribly, came looking for this post immediately. Cheers!

Thanks so much for all your amazing work! I just had to reflash my phone, and now this link is giving me a 404 error when I tried to reinstall it?

I no longer see the button to list Firefox tabs and navigate between them. Does anyone else have this issue? It used to be next to the “extension” puzzle piece…
Firefox 128.5.0esr

Is it the 15 in the URL bar?
No, that’s actually the tab bar, and the 15 there is the current tab’s close button.
The tab count used to be shown on the url bar below as well, where it would open the list of tabs in a menu when pressed.

My personal suggestion would actually be that customers stop using those customisations. As noted, the repo is now intentionally inaccessible and it is not clear whether that will ever change in the future and/or whether the customisations are now maintained v. abandonware. etc. etc.

I could re-upload the clone that I have of the original repo if that would help find if it’s malicious or not… Don’t have a Codeberg yet, so why not?

Sure, but someone will need to maintain the repository.

Fat chance at me being able to do it, I have a surface-level knowledge

Yes, exactly. Two considerations:
- someone needs an accurate clone of the original
- someone needs to step up and maintain it.
If these customisations provide substantial benefit still and noone is going to maintain the repo then it might as well be rolled into the official PureOS distro.
But if they are starting to suffer from bitrot, as Firefox makes incompatible changes and for other reasons, and noone is maintaining it then best just abandon.

Start with uploading the clone to Codeberg or another forge of your choice, then we can wait to see if anyone is interested in updating and maintaining the codebase thereafter.
