On Firefox for Mobile, I've started getting this auto-appended to shared links: "Sent from Firefox ๐ŸฆŠ SHORTLINK-TO-FIREFOX-WEBSITE". I hate it, how do I turn it off? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

If this is the WhatsApp thing being appended, go into Firefox Settings, scroll down to Advanced and find "Link Sharing", and inside should be one entry to turn off.

As much as I like Firefox, they've been digging a hole for a bit with some of their latest decisions. I may end up jumping to Librewolf sooner than later.

Librewolf ain't mobile, Ironfox is, but it's not quite as good

[โ€“] linkinkampf19@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago

Ah... I guess I was going for more of a generalization, not a focus on the Android version of FF. I'll have to check out IronFox.

They're probably getting desperate about their market share

What are the steps for reproducing this? I'm not able to see anything like that on 145.0.2 for Android. What version of Firefox are you using?

https://lemmy.world/comment/20923006 someone's answered for me, turns out that it's only WhatsApp

[โ€“] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Weird, I have firefox mobile for android and do not see this at all. No new updates pending either.

I'm on 145.0.2 if that's anything?
