#13Only reason I haven't moved to Firefox on my Mac is that I can't reassign keyboard shortcut for tab change (without using any external software).
Firefox default is Cmd-Shift-[], which gives me pain in left hand if I use it too much. So I have used OS keyboard to reassign the tab change to Cmd-[]. Most apps seem to respect it, but Firefox doesn't.
Does anyone have a better solution?

#14Firefox is on a serious roll this year, from performance improvements to actual privacy hardening that matters. Since Chrome rolled out auto-login, I've made it my personal mission to stop using it, and now I'm realizing I haven't even installed Chrome on my newly imaged laptop. I doubt I'll have any reason to switch back.
There are a couple of websites that Firefox doesn't work. Same experience on mobile.
But Chrome works all the time.

Ctrl+tab and Ctrl+shift+tab also cycles through tabs on macos. Note: ctrl, not cmd

#16My favorite feature is enabled subpixel positioning of text on Linux. Gives text a more evenly spaced look.

#17I switched from Chrome back to Firefox some time ago and generally I'm happy with it.
Just this Firefox Lockwise stuff seems to be buggy. Every once in a while it disables automatic password fill-in. The security menu is also badly labled, it states something about asking if login data should be stored, but it's also resposible to fill it in after it was stored.

allows you to set a keyboard shortcut for it (among other things)
disclaimer: I don't personally use it.

#19When will Firefox support dithering in gradients?

#20> Sometimes you need to find a CSS file that defines a color, or work out which file generates a button label on a page. Full-text search makes this possible by letting you search through all resources in the Network Monitor. This is incredible.
Yeah, love this feature, will be a definite time saver. I like all of the updates.
