And worse? It's not fixable by anyone outside the core team of developers as they've moved away from the standard XUL UI system to a pure Java wrapper. I was going to get in there and whip up some add-ons because I really wanted to use the browser and thought if I could just tweak a few of it's more ugly bits it'd be somewhat usable. But after downloading the code and taking a good long look, it turns out that all the bits that suck the most are outside anything modifiable by add-ons.
Anybody can modify the browser chrome, not just the core developers. All source code is public:

- kevingadd 14y agoYou're totally missing the point. XUL allowed (and for Desktop Firefox, still allows) people to customize UI with addons. The new Mobile Firefox's UI is all android-specific Java you can't customize without compiling Firefox yourself and deploying it to your phone, which is basically something that 0.00000000001% of the people on this planet will ever care enough to do - and then their build will be outdated 8 hours later after new bug fixes get pushed to trunk and their custom build doesn't automatically update.
