@mozilla @firefox @thunderbird @Waterfox Out of curiosity, and as a feature request, when do you plan upstream Waterfox into Firefox and Betterbird into Thunderbird. The additional customizibility options of Waterfox would be a great addition to Firefox and the bugfixes and improvements made to Betterbird would work great in Thunderbird. When forks of your products make great strides it is a good idea to consider upstreaming these changes for the betterment of all.

Out of curiosity, which features do you feel should be upstreamed?

[-] JoeBecomeTheSun@social.vivaldi.net -4 points 6 months ago

@sabreW4K3 All of them. Betterbird has bugfixes that Thunderbird doesn't have. Including working with the system tray. Waterfox has more customizibility than firefox and those settings should make their way into firefox.

I was able to see the tray thing on the Betterbird website, though I wasn't able to find reference to bugs outside of feature requests.

As for Waterfox, I couldn't find anything in regards to extra customisation available. Do you mind elaborating?

@sabreW4K3 Some screenshots of my own.

The screenshots are on their mastodon. https://social.vivaldi.net/@JoeBecomeTheSun/112435902901083770

This person may not even realize they’re posting to Lemmy.

@sabreW4K3 I am sorry, I took these screenshots with the GNOME screenshot tool, what computer are you using?

[-] sabreW4K3@lazysoci.al 3 points 6 months ago

Not your thought. It was a problem with Lemmy not fetching them from Mastodon.
