Firefox in mobile is worth using simply for the reader view. It makes the mobile web tolerable again.
But no, they continue to be useless.
"We put this 800px wide image in here and dag gone it, we want you to SEE THE WHOLE THING."
Did anyone else lose the ability to scroll by clicking the middle mouse button in the 57 (Quantum) upgrade? Still missing for me in this version.
But did they fix the weird scrolling friction on Android? Seriously, it's the main reason I don't use Firefox.

I unfortunately notice this behavior even when my MBP (2013, Retina) is in clamshell mode hooked up to a 1440p monitor rendering at native resolution. :(
My hackintosh with a dedicated GPU has no problem at all because it has the rendering power to handle it. But my 2014 MBP Retina with integrated graphics gets destroyed and ends up spiking the CPU as well.
Firefox feels very fast and doesn't lag while being used, but the unnecessary CPU spikes kill my battery. We're talking about one page open at about:blank with no extensions and a completely fresh profile spiking to 20% CPU usage every 10 or so seconds.
From the comparison of the lists, looks like desktop is still their focus, which points to a sad level of navel gazing for an internet company in 2018. Makes me question whether they are focused on competing with Chrome or whether they just want to make cool tech.
That said I use Firefox on Android every day and it's fantastic, so what are you talking about specifically?
I haven't tried Firefox since version 47 and haven't used it as my main since 37. I gave 61 (dev edition) a spin yesterday. All the extensions that make the browser usable for me were like 1990s geocities pages: "Under Construction" if they existed at all. They were just placeholders that lacked most features with links to bugzilla pages to vote for features to be added back into Firefox. Garbage collection was prett…
>Bookmarks no longer support multiple keywords for the same URL unless the request has different POST data Can someone explain this one to me? Does this mean I can't use "gi", "i", "image", and "is" as my Google Image Search keywords and need to pick one? Reading the issue [0] isn't helping me. I only recently updated to FF59 from FF39, having to abandon most of my workflow. I really hope this update isn't another na…
> But people expect that it's the specific bookmarks that have keywords, not the urls+postdata, because it always worked like this.
> The UI also shows this. There's a keyword field for a bookmark. And it's not labeled keyword for url/post data. This is a discrepancy, and results in unexpectedly overwritten keywords.
I'm guessing the title is supposed to be read "(multiple bookmark) keywords", not "multiple (bookmark keywords)", and the release note restated it wrongly.
Like, if you have two separate bookmarks with different names, but they go to the same URL, they share whatever's in the keywords field.

I know everyone has there own work flows, but how can you even keep track of that many tabs? After about 8 or 9, I find myself tabbing through half of a dozen tabs to get where I'm going, and at that point I realize I've added like 5 new tasks to my original stack of todos or research or whatever I was originally doing. At that point it's time to shut some tabs and concentrate on the original item. Also, once I've lo…
Tree style tabs addon makes huge numbers of tabs useable, you really rethink the whole tab workflow. For logging into sites like gmail and Facebook, consider using Containers https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-facebook-container-...
Nowadays I'm up somewhere around 300 and it's not a big deal, because they self-organize into related groups that are expandable/collapsible.
> Stylo comes to Firefox for Android in 60 > Firefox's new parallel CSS engine — also known as Quantum CSS or Stylo — which was first enabled by default in Firefox 57 for desktop, has now been enabled in Firefox for Android. That's exciting, but on my phone the Play Store still doesn't provide the new version.
