Great, let's see how it works out.
Firefox for Android has been killing it for me with the latest ux updates, I didn't expect major improvements there and was pleasantly surprised.
- dbdr 9mo agoWhich UX improvements in particular?
- conradfr 9mo agoI don't see the appeal, it takes more "clicks" to do many actions and I had to disable the ridiculous new oversized "rectangle tab preview block" (whatever it's called).
- _s_a_m_ 9mo agoyes exactly, their design was already better than chrome and condensed but now we have these outdated round and padding heavy toy controls again, just why?
- _s_a_m_ 9mo agoI actually liked the previous UI much more, the new one looks like a baby toy and uses more space because of the control padding. completely unnecessary.
- raybb 9mo agoThis UI is great but do you get this horrible thing where sometimes the browser is shows a white screen and you have to force stop the app? Happens all the time on the latest version for my Pixel 9a. And did on my Pixel 7 too before. It's really horrible and I can't pin down any rhythm or reason other than loosely seeming to happen more often when I'm in battery saver mode.
- Zardoz84 9mo agonot happens on my Poco
- Kuinox 9mo agoAre you using some weird extension ? Never had this on my pixel 6.
- raybb 9mo agoOnly extension is ublock origin and most of the settings are default.
- numpad0 9mo agoNever. Using a Snapdragon phone. Sounds like an another isue with the Tensor SoC...
- eipi10_hn 9mo agoNever
- glenstein 9mo agoNot yet for me on a pixel 6a
- prmoustache 9mo agoI don't have that on fenec and ironfox on my pixel 6a running graphene. What I have always had with any firefox based browser on android is erratic behavior in text field. Most of the time it works well but sometimes on some commenting systems my input is duplicated/multiplicated/garbled, trying to select where you want to insert words in the middle of the sentence sometimes becomes impossible, always resetting to the beginning of the text field, etc. On some websites it only rarely happens, on some it is much more regular. Never understod why but when I want to edit a comment I have to resort on a regular basis to copy the full comment to a note app, edit the text, and replace it in its entirety in the text field. Super annoying but still less annoying than using a chrome based browser with no way to remove ads and have a bit of privacy control.
- andrewshadura 9mo agoHappens to me all the time in PWAs. I get it roughly once in two days, sometimes a few times a day.
- raybb 9mo agoI have also noticed that it seems pretty common with PWAs so I more or less stopped using them (in the sense of installing them).
- Zardoz84 9mo agofor me, the killer feature is that I can use uBlock Origin.
- sunaookami 9mo agoThis and Violentmonkey which syncs with my desktop Firefox so I have all the same scripts. Wish it would also sync the script data though.
- TiredOfLife 9mo agoHow do you make closing tabs from taking literally seconds.
- glenstein 9mo agoAgreed, was pleasantly surprised and didn't know how much I didn't like the old one until seeing the new one by comparison.
