Like many people I have been using Firefox for many many years. But over the last few years I have been more than annoyed by what appears to be complete ignoring by Firefox to customer needs and complaints. A long standing annoyance is not being able to save an html file with a “:” (colon) in the file name. Huh? That character is real handy with dates and times. Originally, they replaced it with a “space” and then later with an underline. Now, I can’t get Firefox to save form entries for email addresses while not saving passwords. Then there was the pain of trying to import from a previous Firefox profile.
The list of annoyances and complaints goes on and on. It has been a slow death from a thousand cuts. Goodbye and good riddance. I’m out of here.
I can’t say I blame you at all. The AI bot reply to feedback left in the Google Play store is steering users with issues onto this forum which has very little traffic. Do they participate here? Nope. Mozilla is becoming a LOT like Google—they bow to them so this is expected. However, some “kids” don’t realize this.
While there’s growing animosity toward Google (Chrome) and MV3 you can be assured that Mozilla will eventual go this route too. So you add-ons (as Mozilla calls them) which are used for adblocking and more will be crippled.
And don’t get me started on how pathetic Firefox bookmarks are especially on Android. Eventually, Mozilla will mostly be used by Linux users. They can’t even overhaul their bookmarks especially for mobile devices and syncing your account on mobile devices is effectively broken.
It wouldn’t be so bad if Mozilla developers would respond here, but they’re too busy sipping their woke cocktails with their Linux buddies.
I like firefox’s bookmark on android which shows all the folders at the same time. Firefox Nightly has Tab Bars and soon it will be in Stable next month, what’s wrong with Firefox Android?? Everything is going good.
I never used any other firefox version than Android but it seems good. What are the issues you faced on Android?
Because I also needed to import (and not replace, as recommended in many solutions) bookmarks from a previous Firefox profile where I can’t use “export as HTML” I just made a tiny tool to extract the bookmarks from the “places.sqlite” and “favicons.sqlite” databases and write it as HTML file so it can be imported easily into a current Firefox - without overwriting existing ones as it is in a new submenu “Import.001” (can be renamed in the script).
