  • Firefox extensions can’t mess with Firefox tabs. Sure you have extensions such as tree style tabs but they don’t really change the tab bar, they add side-panel with your tabs in a tree style format. This means you end up with a tab bar and a tab panel, which is a bit clunky. There are ways to hide the tab bar by messing with the userChrome file but that’s not user friendly at all.

    I don’t have any particular setup that is too outrageous or different from anyone else. I just use Firefox, whatever is the most recent version in the arch repository. Ocasionally I open the browser and I don’t have any pinned tabs, I don’t know why. It’s not a frequent event or something tied to anything I can think off, it just appears to be random.

    The sync problem has been reported here: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1879022


    • Tab Grouping would be my first pick.

    • When I first started using Firefox on Linux, dragging tabs was really reallyyyyyy bad but they have heavily improved it. UI just feels more polished on chrome

    • Sync doesn’t work for me, though it seems to work for everyone else. It doesn’t give me any error or a hint to what the problem might me, which is just bad UX.

    • Chromecasting an entire tab doesn’t work, though I guess can’t we can’t blame Firefox for that, can we?

    • My unit tests take at the very least twice as long to run on Firefox

    • Pinned tabs occasionally just disappear and I have to create everything again. Extensions exist to prevent this but don’t work with multi containers, which is honestly Firefox best feature.



  • I’ve been moving away from Google in the last year and moving to Firefox was one of my first moves. It’s honestly a downgrade in usability but I guess that applies to all alternative products.

    I just wish I could sync my bookmarks between desktop and mobile. Seems like no one has this problem but firefox sync just does not work for me. It just says last update was never. Let me know if you know how to fix it.
