Firefox is a great browser, but what bothers me: - Design: On Windows it integrates better but on MacOS the header is just somehow ugly. Chrome just feels more stable in this point. Also the scrolling to top when Chrome goes over the 0px line and bounces back - that's just a nicer behaviour. - Clearing history and cookies: I yet didn't manage to find a fast solution to do this in Firefox. Please, dear Firefox team, if you read this, improve it and you got me back!

why is the header ugly on MacOS? it actually has the same color and looks like it's part of the menu bar.

  The tabs don't hang in the top left corner but there's some space. I don't get this design decision. Also I dislike the hard dark outlines on some icons (e.g. for folders).

      It is? I've been trying to figure out how to get rid of this, but Googling various combinations of "remove space to left of tabs Firefox 57" has not yielded anything helpful.

        I think, it should be Configurable under Customize and then one of the checkboxes at the bottom.

        May not be exactly what you're looking for, but under the Customize menu, you can toggle the Title Bar. This adds a macOS-style title bar and flushes the tabs to the left of the window.

        Menu -> Customize has a few customization options at the bottom, the one you want is called "drag space".

      I totally get your point, but please, Mozilla, make the default configuration great or people will stick with a browser who is owned by an evil company. :) Btw: What I mean is the space left from the first tab, not the "drag space" on top.

There is a “forget” toolbar item (which you probably need to add from the customise menu) which makes it very easy to clear history and cookies

  Or Cmd + Shift + Del on macOS. It can't get any faster than this.
