Seriously this Firefox update was a massive bait-and-switch for me.
I was on holiday and out of the loop on how big of change this Phoenix upgrade would be, got a notification on Android to update firefox and went through without realizing the massive UX and functionality downgrade this Firefox version is.
Apart from the non-starter of missing add-ons, the whole UX overhaul is insane, so many things that use to be frequent single tap are now two, three, tabs plus swipe up/down business.
With the risk of not sounding constructive, I don't know who in their right mind proposed this but it's crazy to me that it went through hundreds of beta-testers without nobody complaining, or that nobody accepted feedback against this if it existed.
- input_sh 6y agoI've been using it from day 1 since it was known as Firefox Preview (way before it landed in nightly) and I have very little to complain about. uBO, Privacy Badger, and DecentralEyes are all the extensions I need. Stuff renders quicker, I can swipe between tabs, reader mode is there. Sure, it might take one additional tap to open a new tab, but I'm fine with that. I'm now using nightly, so I experience an occasional bug here and there, but I don't care.

- notimetorelax 6y agoI think it’s usually the latter. Either the feedback wasn’t heard or wasn’t sought.
