one of the most trivial annoying problems with switching between the two is the difference in how bookmarking works in FF vs chrome.
I have to use chrome for work cuz of a security rule of questionable legitimacy (to me).
in FF, you bookmark a page by dragging the tab into a folder.
in chrome afaik, you have to star it and then select what folder it goes into.
Ok.
Another thing, In chrome, if you context click inside of a bookmarks folder and create a new folder, it creates a nested new folder within the folder you clicked.
In firefox, thats not the case, wherever you click, i believe it creates the new folder at the top level, and then you can drag it to a sub folder. Its a small problem but if you're like me with lots of bookmarks[1], it is a pain in the ass.
[1] for example, i have a folder for every year, with a subfolder for each month, and whenever i find non-specific cool stuff, i toss the bookmark in this month/year folder. at this point i have these going back to 2016, and its become a cool sort of journal or scrapbook type thing. highly recommend this practice to ppl, and its basically the use-case of many 3rd party browser adons for bookmark management, but built into the browser by default.
anyway, long like firefox!
