![]() ![]() Once installed, everything seemed to be back to normal, actually, other than the window title saying "Waterfox", everything looked as if I was running my previous Firefox installation. I looked at the files list (pacman -Ql firefox, pacman -Ql waterfox-bin) to see if both Firefox and Waterfox install a mozilla binary (?), but that doesn't seem to be the case. Neither do they both depend on mozilla-common. ![]() So how does this work? Is it because they both use the same mozilla profile, and once it is in use, it is locked?Īnother question I should ask. I simply started looking for an alternative Mozilla-based browser (so I could keep my bookmards etc.) Sorry for all the confusing questions, just trying to make sense of it all! the dropping of ALSA support in Firefox, is that likely to happen with Waterfox too, because it is mozilla based? If this is the only reason you have to stay with Mozilla browsers, then you really have no reason to stay with Mozilla browsers. Bookmarks (and most etceteras) can quite readily be exported/imported/converted between nearly every browser out there. It's also about a number of add-ons that I use. Switching to a non-mozilla browser means that I would have to find replacements for all of those, testing whether they work as well as they did on Firefox etc. Regarding bookmarks, I have hundreds, and all of them tagged, some of them commented on. This helps me greatly in finding what I want, and as far as I know, these "extras" of bookmarks are not transferred to other non-mozilla browsers. Whether PulseAudio is the devil or not, I don't know. Like the binary versions of Firefox, Waterfox will automatically update from within the browser itself.Here is a long thread on reddit where many other people address their concerns about the dropping of ALSA support: All I can say is, that from my past experience, it was a lot of trouble getting PulseAudio to work right. The available versions are Classic and Current and both can be used by downloading the binaries, unzipping the downloaded file and executing (double click) "waterfox". If you are interested in trying Watefox, you can download one of its two versions from this link.
