Re: Firefox 86.0
#2What I'd like to see in a browser is a button which resets it to the UI from Firefox 1.0 [1]
OS-provided window border and titlebar
Standard menubar with keyboard hints, always displayed
Five buttons: Back, forward, reload, stop, home
Address bar and separate search field
Status bar which shows me link URL when I hover a link

Personally, these days I use a keyboard-driven browser without any of that stuff, just the frame, vertical tabs on the right, and a status bar. But for people in my friends and family circle, I think that interface would be infinitely more functional and productive than anything else I've seen.

Can't imagine anyone being happier nowadays without tabs.

Presumably your application would just be creating new windows and your windowing system would take care of displaying it as either tabs or separate windows.

#5How does Total Cookie Protection work with sites that redirect users to authentication providers on other domains ? What about shops that redirect to payment processors that rely on some magic cookie sharing in the background ? What about company.com loading some cookie-dependent content from company-cdn.com ?

I've always tried to set up delivery of all static assets w/out cookies so that I do not incur the performance overhead. Not that it makes a huge difference except on very large sites. But last time I checked, performance & speed-test tools even remove points if this isn't done. Seems this is a feature not a bug or am I missing something?

#7Firefox is the only option for mobile webdev since it's the only mobile browser with devtools. However I won't use it as my main browser because of insanely frequent (and pointless) major ui changes. It messes with your muscle memory. This isn't beta software, is it?

#8I wonder if the web engine development pretty much stopped, or developer notes are just less detailed over the last year or so. Those are a shadow of the former self, certainly.

I use Firefox on Android all the time. When I occasionally open Chrome, I see the UI there changes quite often. Now it has tab groups. Maybe a month ago it changed the url bar.

It's hidden behind a right click menu. So it's a muscle memory friendly change. I don't remember the url bar change to be too disorienting either.
