I wish they’d fix Lockwise on iOS. Not really working. In my case takes ages to open when set as default, and never auto suggests login for the active site, either from Firefox or any other app.
I don't know what is up with mozilla/firefox. I'm still using firefox but not because I like it, only because the alternatives are worse. I signed up for a firefox account almost right after they were announced. At the time and multiple times since I've unsubscribed from "all" their emails because I'm not interested in them. They just either invent a new list and auto-subscribe me to it or they just ignore my prefere…
I used to be a fan of FF until chrome. I understand it's bad - but how about chromium? Btw, I'm not against looking at FF again, but looking at this changelog and recent product direction, they honestly feel lost.

This is the real problem in my opinion. The URL shown in the status bar should always match the URL which is opened after clicking on the link. Anything else is deception. I don't know how you'd enforce it at the browser level because obviously there are tons of legit uses for modifying a link on click... but it should be enforced somehow.
What are legit uses for modifying a link on click? I've only seen that used for tracking.
"Going forward, only users can install add-ons; they cannot be installed by an application." Surely that depends on how hard the application wants to try? I suppose they might mean that installing add-ons externally is now unsupported.

I don't want google to know that I clicked on the link. That is sensitive.
Switch to an email provider that doesn't want to track you. You can be on Fastmail in an hour if you have your own domain.
Now I have to find a provider that doesn't leak in the dumbest of ways.

> What does Chrome do better? I haven't used Chrome in a long time, but this is the primary major thing I miss from it (possibly the only thing). E.g. we have a family computer that my spouse and I use. I have set up separate profiles for us and forced Firefox to ask which profile to use on launch. But this means that if she has the browser open and has stepped away, I can't just open a new window, switch to my profi…
You can just make a shortcut to run `firefox --no-remote" --profile foo`. Poor UX, but the feature works.

The Facebook container is great, but I wish there was an option for the built-in Multi-Account containers to work this way. I've been doing what the Facebook Container extension does, but with built-in containers, and the experience is very clunky. The two biggest issues are that I can't give the container a list of domains beforehand and say "everything under google.com should open here". I have to go to each Google…
What I want is for every web page to run in its own container by default. Zero configuration.
If it wants to access anything outside of its allowed domain hiearchy (like call an external API), I'd like the browser to ask for permission on its behalf. "Github.com would like to share data with Microsoft.com. Allow/Deny?"
There could be some kind of trust standard so that Github.com can prove that they are the same legal entity as Microsoft.com and is therefore authorized to share information without asking. Or perhaps something simpler that is DNS-based, like with email.

The classic use is after a site redesign or migration to a new domain, due to organizational name change, or whatever. You don't want to break all of the incoming links that are out there, but you want people to get to the page they were trying to reach.
Any way to get rid of this "Your browser is being managed by your organization" tomfoolery without nuking the relevant code in EnterprisePolicies.js[1] and rebuilding Firefox? [1]: https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/compo...
