I've switched to lurking here for a while due to the effects the current political situation in the US is having on me. I am making some big changes to how I do things, including how I livestream and host various products of my math research. I'll be posting about the steps I take as I take them.

I have switched from #Firefox to #Librewolf on my desktops. This was pretty easy since I have been storing my bookmarks as a plain text file on my desktop for a while now. Very portable. I just wish #VideoDownloadHelper worked on Librewolf.

I am looking into #XMPP now and trying to find a server to sign up for. Does anyone know any with open registration?

I have also recently gotten into #IRC again, and am excited to get more familiar with the #Pidgin client on desktop.

Edit: Hi @librewolf !

@caten I got #VideoDownloadHelper to work on #LibreWolf from the info in the linked thread.

In a nutshell:
cp -r ~/.mozilla/native-messaging-hosts/ ~/.librewolf/

@dragonsidedd Thanks for sharing this! Unfortunately, neither copying the folder nor making a symlink is working for me on Mint at the moment. I don't have the usr/lib/ directories for Firefox and Librewolf that some people were mentioning, just the home folder ones, but I think I'm gonna give up on this one for today.
@caten if you're using a flatpak then copy the relevant dir to $HOME/.var/app/io.gitlab.librewolf-community/.librewolf
@dragonsidedd I installed Librewolf with apt, but I tried making that directory anyway and it still didn't work.
