Nobody asked for thisI know nobody who asked for this.Meanwhile, FF Android has major security issues, while feature-wise still being better than Chromium.
I aksed for it, i prefer having more buttons not hidden by a context-menu, also they are actively working on site isolation
Totally fine. Is there a Mozilla Connect entry on that redesign?
Because if there isnt, the purpose of that “forum” is pretty strange.
Could you link me something on site isolation? They need to build a fork server, which requires a pretty sunstantial rewrite. This would be important for zygote (Android) integration, and zypak (Linux, Flatpak) too.
Here are some of the new features and improvements:
One-Tap New Tab: Start a different task in a new tab without disrupting your current tab. Back and Forward Arrows on Toolbar: Navigate between pages without opening the menu. You also have quicker access to the tab’s history by long-pressing the arrows. Auto-Hide Toolbar and Address Bar: Gain more screen space when you scroll. You can disable the auto-hide in Settings under Customize. Faster sharing: The share button is now at your fingertips instead of buried in the menu. Enhanced Accessibility: Buttons are easier to tap, meeting WCAG AA standards for mobile devices.
In general I’m not a fan. I turned this off in nightly using the secret debug menu https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/mobile/android/fenix/Secret-settings-debug-menu-instructions.html , the “Navigation” option specifically.
I’m fine if they want to make it the default as long as I can turn it off.
