@9to5linux@floss.social Text fragments came to Firefox?! That’s an exciting update.

“Firefox 131 promises support for text fragments, which can be used to link directly to a specific portion of text in a web document via a special URL fragment”

It says “For web developers”, but really this is a great feature for non-devs because it means you don’t have to go looking for anchor IDs and you can link a specific sentence of text from an article.

@chris_hayes@fosstodon.org Check this https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/URI/Fragment/Text_fragments for more details.

@9to5linux@floss.social Thanks, yeah I already use it today on Edge + Chrome. ie on Edge I can link the quote above with right click > “Copy link to highlight”, and I get: https://9to5linux.com/firefox-131-beta-improves-translations-adds-temporary-site-permissions#:~:text=For web developers,top-level sit.

Firefox is my daily driver though, so I’ve been missing this feature.

@chris_hayes@fosstodon.org Apparently text fragments support is also present in Firefox 130, but it’s disabled by default. You can enable it by setting dom.text_fragments.enabled to true in about:config

Rules

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.

Rules

  1. Always be civil and respectful
    Don’t be toxic, hostile, or a troll, especially towards Mozilla employees. This includes gratuitous use of profanity.

  2. Don’t be a bigot
    No form of bigotry will be tolerated.

  3. Don’t post security compromising suggestions
    If you do, include an obvious and clear warning.

  4. 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.

  5. Don’t accuse others of shilling
    Send honest concerns to the moderators and/or admins, and we will investigate.

  6. 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.
