minus-squareviking@infosec.publinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoYup. Unless they break anything, which I can’t really imagine at this point.
minus-squarekubj31196@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·1 year agoIs there an easy way to migrate from the official app to Fennec? Keeping accounts, extensions and settings?
minus-squareviking@infosec.publinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12·1 year agoIf you have enabled the sync feature in Firefox, it seamlessly works with Fennec; as does the integration between Fennec and Firefox Desktop. Simply log on with your Firefox account in Fennec, and you won’t even feel the difference.
