#2Nice! Firefox is in a good place, because the browser, at this stage (version 126), is really good and fast. And this post seems to point that the development is going in a good direction.

#3I still remember the launch of Firefox 3 back in the day. I'm so glad it's still around, and they keep working on it.
I don't think there's a single piece of software I've gotten more utility out of in all that time. It's definitely not perfect, but we'd be in a worse world without it.

#4I am looking forward to synced tab groups.
Currently using an addon, but that's not synced among PC and Laptop (or phones, but there I don't need it)

#5> More streamlined menus that reduce visual clutter and prioritize top user actions so you can get to the important things quicker
Oh no, more of this.
What about less used options? How much slower? How much less discoverable?
Desktop applications are already for power users almost by definition, let’s not slow them down for the sake of reducing “clutter”. Absolutely annoying trend of the last 15 years or so.

It's funny to think about in retrospect how exciting Firefox 3 was. Planning began in 2006, and release was 2008. Acid2! Cairo! Better Linux theming!
It was just such a different release cadence.

I have fond memories of 3 and 4... Started using it somewhen around 2 :)

#8For me, the big thing Firefox needs is better power management.
Mac user here, and streaming video or doing a video call just kills my battery compared to Chrome or Safari.
Would love to see more focus on energy consumption optimization.

#9Is anybody currently using Sidebery who could comment on how the Firefox "Tab grouping, Vertical tabs, and sidebar" compare?

Stop it. Gnome-ification is incredibly user hostile. Almost every time folks "simplify" a UI, they actually make it far more complicated instead.
If your users now have to use dconf or userChrome.css to do the things they are accustomed to doing, you have not simplified anything.
