Personally I don’t see an issue with it. What better way could there be to display clearing browsing history and etc
This seems fine to me, too. Personally I want easier to disambiguate tabs. The sexy Australis curves were peak Firefox design. I really dislike the new tab bar
agree with australis
I don’t mind the idea of them having a go at improving it. What I want (and I don’t think it’s too unusual) is for history and site settings to be remembered when I close the browser, and most cookies + data to be deleted with the exception of a few sites where they’re kept. Configuring this has been strangely complicated for a long time. To get it to work, I had to figure out this procedure:
- Select “delete cookies and site data when firefox is closed”
- Click on “manage exceptions” to add the exceptions. You’d think we’d be done, but…
- Scroll down to the “history” section
- Select both “clear history when firefox closes” and “remember history”
- Click history -> “settings”
- Select the chekboxes for cookies + data
- Unselect boxes for history and site settings
It is with some trepidation that I wait to see whether they will have broken my configuration, made things easier, or made it impossible to set things up this way when Debian stable eventually updates to the new ESR in the next few months.
Thank you for this comment; this is probably the setting that I would prefer but I don’t remember seeing the option to have this when I was looking through settings. I suspect I didn’t dig far enough — I agree, this is weirdly complicated
What’s wrong with it? It’s very clear in my opinion.
As much as I hate google and chrome, I think chrome has superior ui/ux and firefox should really port the useful stuff
