The longer I use new firefox the more hatred I harbour for it.
Opening new tab before:
Tap tabs icon on top. Tap open new tab icon that appears in the same place(essentially slow doubletap)
Now:tap tabs icon on top.
Tap new tab thats on the other side of display (I tried getting used to having navigation bar down, but the pageload progress bar should have stayed top. When arriving to page and looking at the top its completely out of my peripheral vision)
Opening certain links in app.
Not only was outrageous that mozzila said "nah" to ability to always open certain links in app (in the name of seamless web experience), so when opening a reddit link on slow and highly datalimited connection I had to wait until page starts loading, then stop load to not consume data (but not too soon, or open in app icon doesnt show), and then click the icon to open link in app.
Now I have to tap the menu first to get access to open in app icon. Forcing me to add another tap (or three if I want to stop the pageload too) everytime I want to do something that should be user settable in the first place.
Also, can anyone explain me why closing the tab view now requires two swipes down instead of one? (Or one rly long one, granted, but still...)
And the fact that the thubnail (main visual cue as to what tab it is) is now smaller is also getting on my nerves
Some pages are super jitery when I try to zoom them as a main big image loads (and few seconds after). Wasnt issue before.
There are more things that annoy me, but cant remember them in the heat of the moment, might edit this later.
And ofcourse, cant use old version because they know best whats good for me.
Im about to start looking for another browser soon, would welcome suggestions! (Ability to run ublock is neccesity)
- LoSboccacc 6y agoyou can scroll the tab list down but because it's a drawer UX once it hit bottom it auto closes for some reason the automatically most used link don't work, I've to pin websites to the new tab area, but then they're static, and have to be maintained it a page timeouts the description text is so long the retry button is out of screen, and that test doesn't scroll itself, and your stuck going into the hamburger menu because something as common as drag down from top too reload isn't supported here oh and the update also forgot all my settings about min and max font sizes
- gnomewascool 6y ago> Now:tap tabs icon on top. Tap new tab thats on the other side of display You can long-press the tabs icon on top, which is slightly more convenient. (No, it's not obvious.) > Im about to start looking for another browser soon, would welcome suggestions! (Ability to run ublock is neccesity) AFAICT the only other open-source android browser that supports ublock origin is Kiwi Browser.[0] It used to heavily lag behind upstream chromium, though — I don't know if that's changed.

- DangitBobby 6y agoYou can side-load Fennec using f-droid. I have it on my phone and it works well, though I've personally been pretty happy using preview.
