Today's #Firefox Nightly makes the profile backup feature available by default.
The profile backup feature, when enabled, will take a snapshot of your profile and pack it into a single file that you can restore from on the same or a different machine. You can choose to encrypt the backup with a passphrase.
In a recent #Firefox Nightly, visit about:settings#sync and scroll down to the Backup section to manage it.

Tomorrow's release of #Firefox 150 also includes something nice for WebExtension developers: CSS module script / JSON module support.
I maintain a WebExtension that is starting to use Lit for the UI, and it'll be nice to be able to import the sheet rather than having the styles live in template strings in my JS.

Red Green was a Canadian TV show we had on pretty regularly at my house growing up.
I'm not sure how much influence Handyman Corner had on the problem-solving part of my brain, but I idly suspect it's non-zero.
Here's how Red Green changes the oil in car: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bR23H7ACnNY

Is there a Tumblr or something that's collecting all of these pictures of people on various trading floors grimacing?

Grocery stores trying to make it easier to spot products that they assert are prepared in Canada:

Hi! I presume you're using Wayland?
Keeping on top on Linux was how it used to work, but Wayland doesn't let apps float windows on top of other windows themselves - the user has to right-click on the window to give it this capability.
Apparently, change might be coming though? https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests/132

Eyyyyy, if you found that #firefox's auto-Picture-in-Picture feature (it's in Firefox Labs in about:preferences) was a bit too aggressive when it first released, then today's release in Firefox 133 might be a better fit: we've made it so that there's a higher likelihood that when we auto-PiP, it's for a video you actually care about, rather than the first video on the page.
Try it out!

Some of us are approaching a Temporal Anomaly.
Europe is switching off of DST next week, while North American doesn't switch until a week later.

When you abandon an effort, or a project, or an approach to something... Give yourself the gift of also writing down _why_ and keeping that writing in a durable, easy-to-find place.
Your future self, or future teammates may thank you for it!
