I really want to use Firefox, but feels a bit odd (self.firefox)

Don't get me wrong, I like Firefox a lot, but needs polishing.

I like -impopular opinion- the Proton UI (aka rounded tabs), containers are great, but has some flaws:

  • No PWA support
  • Bookmarks and history panels are unpractical (menus for both options are almost unusable)
  • A separate window for downloads, managing bookmarks? Really?
  • Pocket by default?

We need alternatives to Chromium, and Firefox is the "go to" option, but sometimes is disappointing to use it.

I'm on the opposite side with separate windows. I don't like the modern trend of having everything inside the same window as tab or modal window.

For example the new windows settings "app". Can't open multiple different things at once inside it, because everything is a tab. Compared to the old control panel where everything was it's own application.

The history browsing is a bit outdated though. Gets annoying to search for specific page from a site, especially when visiting them to look what it is puts it to the top of the history.
