While we are not an official Mozilla community, we have adopted the Mozilla Community Participation Guidelines as far as it can be applied to a bin.
Always be civil and respectful
Don't be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.
Don't be a bigot
No form of bigotry will be tolerated.
Don't post security compromising suggestions
If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.
Don't post conspiracy theories
Especially ones about nefarious intentions or funding. If you're concerned: Ask. Please don’t fuel conspiracy thinking here. Don’t try to spread FUD, especially against reliable privacy-enhancing software. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Show credible sources.
Don't accuse others of shilling
Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.
Do not remove your help posts after they receive replies
Half the point of asking questions in a public sub is so that everyone can benefit from the answers—which is impossible if you go deleting everything behind yourself once you've gotten yours.
I've tried this in FF nightly, I wish it was for all tabs.
Locking your screen with private tabs risks losing them entirely, so having a finger print lock for them is less useful.
It’s a great feature. I wish they implemented it like Safari in iOS, where you need to use a password or biometrics to even get into the private browsing section (if you choose to set it up that way)
That way all of your private tabs persist until you manually close them, but other people who might be using yer phone (imagine…) can’t accidentally get into your private tabs.
Having them persist might be a bit confusing, given we have all been basically trained for years that they wont persist. But that definitely is a more useful implementation than the current ff one.
I do like that they persist, but I use Firefox Focus for anything private that I want cleared out every time I exit the browser. Anything I wanna come back to, I open in Safari private mode!
