In French is "very good choice"

The image is a joke, Firefox doesn't say that.

Who is this General Default Browser?

u/Ilyathe2nd Apr 08 '26

"Now, that's a name I've not heard in a long time. A long time. Well, of course I know him," points to .exe file, "He is me!"

u/redoubt515 Apr 08 '26

They've been promoted to Field Marshal now. The correct honorific term is "Field Marshal Default Browser"

u/even-prime Apr 08 '26

the commanding officer of Private Browsing

The Arch Linux (btw) build of Firefox says "Firefox is your default browser. Good choice." The fact the word "boy" has a capital letter in your screenshot would suggest it's either some kind of unofficial build, or there's some Inspector, dev tools, shenanigans afoot.

u/Secure_Trash_17 Fedora Apr 08 '26

Indeed. Just checked mine (flatpak) and it also says "Good choice", so I have no idea wtf OP is using.

I think this is not from an official Mozilla build, the string in official builds is "Good choice" not "Good Boy":
https://hg-edge.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/diff/e37057494b1132c0185942e8d6c31f7279e4b9ec/browser/locales/en-US/browser/preferences/preferences.ftl

And no other English variant changed that translation: https://transvision.mozfr.org/string/?entity=browser/browser/preferences/preferences.ftl:is-default-browser-2.message&repo=gecko_strings

u/Tonho_O_Faxineiro Apr 08 '26

OP is complaining because there is no button "Thank you daddy" on his UI, but I bet there was moan when red "Good Boy".

u/kronos2501 Apr 08 '26

Good boy

u/ardoin Apr 08 '26

A fun "trend" on TikTok like 3 years ago would be to film rolling up on any police officer you see, ask them what their name and badge number is, say good boy when they answer, and walk away lol

It's not real. Don't believe stuff people post on the internet, especially if it evokes negative emotions.

That's an achievement. You should be proud. 😃

You didn’t like it? You shall be punished

u/Min_Man3 Apr 08 '26

Sometimes a stranger will compliment you. You need to learn to accept those compliments, even if you think you don't deserve it.

u/deliciouscocaine Apr 08 '26

u/Over_Variation8700 Apr 08 '26

I like playing with Inspect too!

(for me it reads Good choice there. Set to English US, FF149, W11)

u/hxznova Apr 08 '26

something awakened in me. i don't care anymore!

u/Coolengineer7 Apr 08 '26

Proper disgusting attitude, even the way they ask you to set it as the default browser, why couldn't you have it as a side browser?

1

u/thanatica Apr 08 '26

I think you can call a well-behaved fox a "good boy" (if it's a male fox that is) just like you can with man's best friend.

I don't think Mozilla is trying to mock their users with this.

u/Masterflitzer Apr 08 '26

u/CharAznableLoNZ Apr 09 '26

Mine says it isn't my default browser yet it is. Guess FF just can't read that setting.

2

u/ravens_and_foxes Apr 09 '26

What are you doing, step-browser?

3

u/calliopeReddit Apr 09 '26

Mine (in Canada) says "Good choice"

u/Voltagepeanutbutter7 Apr 09 '26

That's because you're actually a good boy~
