I'm waiting for Firefox to start using a native context menu on macOS instead of the garbage that they are now using and which doesn't behave anything like any other context menu on macOS.

It's luckily on Bugzilla, so I can keep monitoring progress daily.

Wow - that must be an incredibly messy UI codebase by now ...

You know, chrome UI is also web components in many places.

Do you mean that it is OK to have messy code as long as your competitors do too or do you mean that since chrome is doing it, it can't result in messy code?

I remember the time when I never came across anything on the Internet that was older than 3 years

That would be the first three years of the Internet.

I couldn't agree more. Firefox is the only browser I use on the desktop, and I do think it's the best. But the lack of native context menus is annoying.

Also, other native features are missing. Like the rubber banding and pinch to zoom, although that one works okay if you switch the config entry.
