As one of these people who switched away from Firefox to Chrome a long time ago, I was curious to give it another go now that it's revamped and all. I tend to do it very year or so, but something is always wrong.
Unfortunately, I quickly bumped into one simple deal-breaker (the same that discouraged me from using Opera once, if I recall). Firefox adds a few pixels of useless gap space above the tabs, meaning I always have to move the cursor slightly downwards when changing tabs.
Some googling revealed the bug was actually reported over a year ago: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1302168 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1302168
As of now, it persists. Back to Chrome - see you again next year : )
- Santosh83 9y agoNot for me. I can slam the cursor to the top edge of the screen and click on a background tab and it comes to focus just fine. This is of course with Firefox maximised. Am on Windows 10 just for info... perhaps the UI is slightly different under your OS...
- V-2 9y agoI'm on Windows 10, too, so I assume the UI shouldn't be that far off. The problem - see the link to Bugzilla I pasted - is supposedly related to the use of multiple displays (which involves different DPI settings). A small thing to be sure, but somewhat annoying, given that switching tabs is a fairly common action when using a web browser. What's unpleasant is how long it takes to resolve it. From Bugzilla: > This is a pretty annoying usability regression that will ship in 50. Will we be able to fix it for 51? It's version 57 :)
