None of the following stops me from using bookmarks on Firefox, but they're part of my list of Firefox annoyances:
- The bookmarks bar doesn't "fit" the current and previous two UIs. Margins/paddings are all wrong, at least on macOS. Why design a new UI if you're not going to apply it to everything?
- The bookmarks manager still opens on an old window, with small text, even though Firefox went the "Chrome way" and started using tabs, not windows for this type of content. Only recently this window started supporting dark mode.
- Bookmarks behave differently from other links. Eg: it doesn't respect the shortcut to open a link in the background.
- Bookmark icons are hard to update. While other browsers update the favicon when we visit the page, Firefox doesn't always do that. We need some hack or addon to force the browser to delete all favicons and then load each link so it gets the new favicon... why make it so hard?
- Not 100% related to bookmarks, but when opening a different bookmarks at once (eg: a folder), Firefox doesn't seem to prioritise the active tab. Chromium appears to be faster because of this.
I'm currently using Firefox, but I'll be honest: it's a mess of a browser. Old and new code, different philosophies, different UIs, all used side by side. Even more annoying is the fact that they ignore all this and use their limited resources on stuff that is mostly fine (eg: a new UI, a new search bar, etc).
