Hi, I have recently installed NixOS on a PC and noticed some unexpected things with Firefox on NixOS:
- Up to date versions: Currently, NixOS only contains outdated Firefox-versions (53.0.3, 52.1.2esr); there are newer official versions since about 1 week. How long does it usually take until the newest version gets packaged? - Name: I installed firefox-esr, but the started Firefox called itself "Nightly". I searched the mailinglist, and it looks like it is called "Nightly" because it is built by NixOS/Hydra. I think this is irritating for most users; since the name probably cannot be changed to "Firefox", it would be nice if it would be mentioned e.g. in the Nix-manual (or maybe in the Firefox-About-Dialog?). - Data choices: After starting Firefox, it tells me: "Nightly automatically sends some data to Mozilla so that we can improve your experience. [Choose What I Share]" When I click on "Choose What I Share", I get to the data-choices- preferences-dialog (Preferences -> Advanced -> Data Choices), but this dialog is empty. So, does the NixOS-Nightly-Firefox automatically send data? Is there a way to prevent this? And is this documented somewhere? - Parallel install of esr and newest version: I would like to install both firefox and firefox-esr and access both in the same environment (without switching environments). Would it be possible to e.g. add a "firefox-esr"-executable-symlink by firefox-esr, so that it works as follows? - $ firefox starts the newest version if both firefox and firefox-esr are installed, or the newest or the esr version if only one is installed - $ firefox-esr always starts the esr-version thanks Roland _______________________________________________ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl https://mailman.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev
