Been really enjoying Firefox, especially after Quantum. More devs should support and use it, lest we be beholden to Chrome for the rest of time.
Even if the money is simply spent on marketing, I think that could be a good thing.

DevTools are lacking and they broke a ton of add ons with the API update (with no simple way to side load.) I can't use it. I tried again about five months ago and, one two machines, pages would stutter as I scrolled. Not worth my time to mess around with.
The [-] collapse buttons for these threads are weirdly a lot more difficult to click (specifically, register a press with your finger) than in Chrome... Anyway, I think committing to FireFox is more important so I can deal with it.

> they're even mimicking Firefox's scrollable tab-bar since it's such an obvious win over a million super-narrow tabs that you can't possibly identify. The non-scrollable tabs are what I miss most about Chrome. I know I'm not in a majority there, but I wouldn't call it an obvious win.
about:config has `browser.tabs.tabMinWidth` :) just set it to 0. Though I firmly believe that about:config is in no way a user-viable option (as useful as it can be, for dev purposes), so I don't intend to imply that means "firefox has that too". It doesn't, it just has a workaround.

Thanks, but I know about the about:config string. Especially with very low values, it had some weird behavior last time I tried it.
personally I'm loving Tree Style Tab, so I don't really pay attention to the tabbar any more.

Are there specific WebExtension APIs you care about that Chrome supports and Firefox doesn't?
There are a few niche plugins I use for specific sites to enhance usability that I definitely don't expect to be ported to Firefox, but even the ones that are take an understandable backseat in terms of developer priority. For example, for more than 10 years I've been using Chrome extensions that allow you to hover over image links to view them without clicking. There are dozens of these extensions in almost any brow…
Sure but 9% is still a lot of people and the browser is now on the rebound after a few missteps by Chrome. https://www.theverge.com/2018/4/15/17239548/firefox-chrome-s...

I think modern Firefox is a much better browser than Chrome though, but Mozilla certainly lost the PR war and to no fault but their own, because Firefox sure sucked for a long while.
