And you can't set new tabs to default to your home page, allegedly because of "security issues." Yet every other browser can handle it.
And then there's the idiotic burying of bookmarks three levels deep on the mobile version.
Oh, and the storage of log-in credentials blows. When you pick a saved log-in ID on a site, Firefox is too dumb to find the matching password. It shows you every password for every ID you've used on the site, and you have to scroll through them.
I really wanted to support Firefox so I switched back to it from Safari recently. But it sucks ass.
- elashri 2y agoFirefox stopped using 'browser.newtab.url' long time ago as it was a preferred attack surface for male are trying to redirect people to scam pages. I understand that you are annoyed but you can still use an addon to do that which gives you more control. I don't know about other browsers and how they handle the abuse of this situation or if they care at all. But it is not like there did it just to annoy people.
- yencabulator 2y agoHow would a scammer change my browser.newtab.url? How would a scammer be able to change my browser.newtab.url without an attacker also being able to change my network.proxy.http?
