How do I remove the (…) buttons on the right side of suggestions in the URL field drop-down?
  • When a user comments that keyboard use in Firefox is not as efficient as they’d like in terms of the number of key presses, it’s not a good idea to suggest something that is even less efficient because it requires moving a hand.

    I like to tab trough the drop-down via the keyboard. The (…) button is a tab stop, so it gets in the way.

    What’s the optimal permission for the Pin Unpin Tab add-on?
  • For some reason, the default keyboard command Alt+P, which is Option+P on macOS, did not work for me, but I remembered that there’s a way on about:addons to “manage extension shortcuts”, so I changed it to Shift+Control+P, and now it works.

    What’s the optimal permission for the Pin Unpin Tab add-on?

    I use the Pin Unpin Tab add-on to be able to pin and unpin browser tabs via a keyboard command (Ctrl + Shift + P).

    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pinunpin-tab/

    I noticed that this add-on has the permission “Access your data for all websites”. This seems unnecessary. What permission does this add-on really need?

    Word break issue in Firefox Nightly

    Is ”Restart to Keep Using Nightly” really necessary? It seems very anti-user.
  • The problem is not that you need to restart the browser to update it. The problem is that Firefox refuses to load any new web pages until you restart. So for example, the user might be working on something and have multiple tabs open. And then they need to open another web page in order to finish the work, but Firefox refuses to load the page. If the user restarts Firefox, all the opened pages will reload, and some context will be lost. But if the user does not restart Firefox, they can’t open any new web pages, which prevents them from finishing the work. It’s a lose-lose situation for the user. The only solution is to open the web pages in a different browser. The fact that Firefox forces users to use different browsers is not good.

  • The problem is that the user should not be prevented from browsing the web just because a new update is ready. The user should choose when to update. If the user has multiple important tabs open, they should be able to finish their work, but if Firefox refuses to load any new tabs, then the user cannot continue working normally.

  • you're running multiple profiles of Firefox at the same time (so restarting one with a queued update writes the changes to disk, throwing the other profile instances out of alignment).

    In that case, launching a different profile in a new window should not use the new version. In other words, Firefox should not do anything with the pending version until the user actually restarts the entire browser. Having the second window run in the new version just because there was a pending version seems like a bad approach.

    Did the translation feature stop working in Nightly?

    I opened this page that is in German: https://www.soeren-hentzschel.at/mozilla/mozilla-ventures-investiert-in-blue-fever/

    Previously on this website, Nightly would show a translate icon in the URL bar, allowing me to translate the articles to English. I don’t see that icon anymore. Why is that?

    The new CSS viewport units don’t seem to be implemented on iOS

    Could someone confirm? The test page is here (Safari and Chrome behave correctly):
