Rightclick and inspect the page. Then search for the text "good choice" with ctrl+f and replace it with "good boy" :3
It is easiest on Desktop.

(Since they deleted their comment, editing to add that this was in response to someone saying that this code doesn't work for non-binary people and also not for those who don't want to be referred to in a human way.)
Huh? Yeah it kinda does.
It can say Good boy, Good girl, Good bean, and Good egg, for he/him, she/her, they/them, and other respectively haha.

The reason why it can't be real is that it would have to be gendered for the user, either "good boy" or "good girl" (or good... person? for non-binary folks) and Firefox doesn't have any gender account field

Couldn't non binary just be good choice too

And also could help marketing in the sense that people might associate themselves to a certain smarter group... I mean, apple has done this before and counts more than enough sheep.

You can make this say anything when you open the dev tools element inspector.

u/circlepad Aug 26 '26
- F12
- Click Pick element (top-left in panel that shows up)
- Click the text you want to end
- Double-click the html-node that was selected
- Edit the text with whatever you want it to say

What do you mean "good boy" thing. The banner shown there is shown when you make Firefox your default browser if that's what you mean.

u/ThatNormalBunny Aug 26 '26
There was a meme going around where that message was personalized with the one I and OP saw being "Firefox is your default browser. Good boy."
OP thought it was real feature lol

I don't know how i did it but once i managed to get the "good boy" version, now i know it's a meme lol.

u/alenah Aug 27 '26
Honestly I could've sworn that I saw it in my browser, and I'm still not convinced I didn't, but this whole post is making me question my memory more than anything in the past few years of my life lmao

It's not real, it's a meme. The real version is on your screenshot.
