Thanks for your work on this! Your report says Firefox gestures are working on Wayland, and two finger swiping left/right appears to be configured in the Firefox prefs to go back/forward in history: browser.gesture.swipe.left

One thing that irks me about Konsole is that it doesn't rewrap the scrollback when the window is resized. Apparently that will be fixed in Konsole 21.04 though: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196998

No problem, and as a Mozilla user/contributor since the early Mozilla Suite days I sympathize with your cri de cœur. Power users had and will always have an outsized influence on Mozilla's market share and thus relevance and abili

In the general case where that's true I expect it mostly comes down to trying to balance features against available resources and the amount/complexity of the code that needs to be written/maintained. As noted elsewhere in th

Offhand I'm not sure what functionality Firefox is missing that has caused them to only support Chrome. I'd be interested in taking a look though if you have their paid support and can persuade them to either file a bug[1] (or to

The new print interface has been progressively released to a subset of users over multiple releases. It's only gone to 100% of users as of Firefox 86.

It depends on which branch you checked out before you built. By default you'll normally end up with a checkout of 'mozilla-central', in which case it will use a separate profile.

A huge thank you to all the volunteers for making this happen, and to the Matrix folks for their support. I went to my first FOSDEM 15 years ago and would have been very sad if it hadn't happened in some form in 2021. It won't be

It's not ready for release yet, but if you flip the preference `print.tab_modal.enabled` to true you'll get the replacement printing interface which has a "Save as PDF" pseudo-printer.
