Waiting for vertical tabs…
Tree Style Tabs forever, baby! Simple vertical tab bars can’t even hope to compete.
Slightly odd they are opting to gradually roll out several features this release.
If they aren’t ready then maybe push them back to the next release?
Or they are learning from other apps that do this all the time to great success
The only thing I want is proper support for desktop addons on mobile.
You can use a couple already in the nightly builds of both firefox and the respective add-on
Sure, but not even close to all. It’s been literal years since the change. I was understanding at first, but now it’s just becoming frustrating. Things that are very easy in desktop Firefox just isn’t possible on mobile Firefox. And yes, I am running Firefox nightly and custom collections for my extensions on mobile.
I’m guessing way less than 1% of people would use mobile extensions. I personally do but I don’t think most people use chrome on mobile because of the lack of full extension support on mobile Firefox (which btw is coming). I think people use chrome because “everyone else does”.
I think you’re underestimating how valuable tab groups are to people. I would make a full switch if Firefox could offer that feature on mobile in any reasonable way. Since it’s already a desktop extension, I’m just waiting for them to be made available on Android
People use whatever ‘Internet icon’ came with their device and live their ignorant, but happy life :)
@TrickDacy @parpol I just wish that in 2023, Apple would relinquish their claw-like grip on mobile browsers on iOS. Give me ACTUAL Firefox, please.
If you’re migrating your data from Chrome, Firefox now offers the ability to import some of your extensions as well.
Nice.
I think this is misleading. They’re offering to match your Chrome extension with an equivalent Firefox extension. But they are not providing an extension compatibility layer to run Chrome extensions.
Yeah. I agree with you. New non-tech-savvy person might misunderstand.
However, new user rarely look at the changelog. So I think this wording does not affect much.
And whether this is using equivalents or a compatibility layer, to the average non tech savvy person is irrelevant. They don’t care as long as it’s the extension they had and it works.
I keep waiting for better profile management. Not saying it needs to mirror chrome exactly, but feature wise it falls short (at least how I would like to use it).
They are completely isolates browser settings. Account, session, settings, hardening, history, everything.
To a certain extent you can do that with multi-account containers.
For instance, I can have Amazon always open in my “Shopping” tab to keep it separate from my “Social Networks” tab.
