So much negativity. Just here to report that I am a happy Firefox user, no complaints here. Thank you Mozilla for making a browser that respects me.

I'd feel a lot more 'respected' if they didn't keep forcing unwanted UI changes on me.

If UI changes needed everyone's approval, we would still be looking like a 1990's browser.

My favorite thing about Firefox is the "Multi-Account Containers" extension. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/multi-account... It's really handy when having a private Microsoft account as well as an enterprise account. If I don't use this, my MS sessions get all mixed up.

Which is still missing a key feature - I want to be able to independently clear history/cookies on a per container basis. Give me a 'garbage' container for general browsing that is flushed by default, but bespoke Netflix/Github/etc containers that retain cookies forever.

isn't this already achievable with containers and also private browsing?

I'm always glad when I see Firefox churning along a new version. My overwhelming feeling is one of gratitude to the devs and people working on Firefox. It's the last bastion of Browser independence with super-high customizability. I also tend to use Edge over Chrome now. MS has done a pretty good job of making that a nice experience, BUT they are also pushing some less palatable ones. For instance, t used to be simpl…

"Try that on Edge now. It's basically impossible from the settings."

Seconded. Firefox has given me joy since 1.0.

Tangent: Windows single sign-on is kind of broken. So if I hit a site that supports it, it will automatically try to log me in via my machine without asking causing my 2FA to fire and won't show me a login screen until that 2FA check succeeds/fails. If I want to sign in via any other Microsoft Account, I first need to 2FA my machine's Microsoft Account just to get the ability to login via a completely different accou…

I've also experienced issues with SSO and physical 2 factor tokens. I just end up having to open those sites in Chrome, because FF won't trigger the password prompt for my token. It's annoying, but I'm willing to live with it.

Cookie AutoDelete will do the trick. It has per-container deletion rules.
