If anyone from the firefox mobile team is here: please fix the bug where you can't scroll through the tabs when they overflow.

While we'll reporting things here, please remove the `delete` to go back, it has fucked me over so many times in text fields. No other browser does it.

Wow, Ctrl+P has now started to open the proper print-interface with a preview! I've helped loads of people over the years complaining about printing in Fx vs Chrome. It used to be so in Fx that selecting Print from the menu opened an interface for printing (ala Chrome), but pressing Ctrl+P just opened standard OS print dialog. So power users never saw the nice print preview.

They really should have option to match chrome shortcuts and windows.

Ctrl+Shift+N works in Chrome but in Firefox its Ctrl+Shift+P.

I 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.

Most of the Gecko group was left intact.

Yeah, I ended up looking through the git repo and things seem to be alive and well, if a bit attenuated compared to 2019.
