Ff fan here. Running Aurora on desktop, laptop and mobile. Love the project, have nothing but minor complains. Currently leading the list: For quite a while FF on Android has a 'broken' long press menu on links. Someone thought that it should be Share Link -> Open Link in New Tab Open Link in Private Tab Copy Link Bookmark Link I.. guess I don't understand how others use their browser. The last action doesn't make sense to me (bookmarking a link I haven't visited/open?), but worse: The first item annoys the hell out of me. Same question applies (share a link that isn't open?), but reserving the top spot for that? In my world you use the 'open in *tab' operations or copy a link. I regularly hit 'Share Link' and curse about the UX and shake my head trying to figure out what process lead to this design. Minor quibbles.. :-) Best browser, hands down.

> (bookmarking a link I haven't visited/open?), Yes, to read it later. I don't, but I know many people use it this way. > The first item annoys the hell out of me. It's not that huge to get around. I have yet to use any share button in any OS or application or website (I copy the link to chats or forums or where I need them if I want to share anything), but I don't really mind it either. Would love to see stats on how often the UI options are used, though. I don't know anyone using those share options. But then again, I don't have many "mainstream" (non-techies) friends :p

  Oh, I use the 'share' feature. For sites I'm looking at right now. In that case it is a prominent button right next to bookmark. I haven't used those features on a random link (vs. page). Agreed, some telemetry about these features or the story behind those would be interesting.

Here is a heatmap with data on how often these different buttons are clicked: http://starkravingfinkle.org/blog/2014/07/firefox-for-android-collecting-and-using-telemetry/ http://starkravingfinkle.org/blog/2014/07/firefox-for-androi...

  Whoa. Thanks a lot, that's amazing. Now I'm torn on whether I should open a bug report about it. A useless/unused entry in the most prominent spot, and open link in tab is (not surprising imho) red hot below. Worth a try?
