You'll have to convince the EU to change the USB-C rule.

Lagos just means lakes. The city of Lagos in Nigeria is sprikled with lagoons along the coast. But the name is likely an homage to Lagos in Portugal because Lagos was an important city during the discovery age.

I rarely feel the need for a mobile browser to be "fast". If a website is somehow slow on Firefox, I just close it.

Hate the new menu with a passion. There's one feature I used a lot, "open in regular tab", that has been removed.

Supposedly phones remain in standby even when turned off. So either remove the battery if possible or leave them home.

Basically when the pressure to grow bigger fruits and yields disappears, all offspring have equal changes to breed.

Firefox Android has a new stupid menu (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

I'm not one to usually diss new UI changes, but this one grinds my gears.

Firefox for Android has released a new menu design. It organizes everything a little differently, which is alright it looks fresh. But 2 things are really annoying and a continuous design trend in Firefox.

  • The option to open page in external app has been tucked away in a sub menu. I used this often and it was in the top level menu before. Companies just love hiding things in menus for no reason.
  • the option to open a private tab as a normal tab is GONE. This is how I use Firefox: someone sends me a link, I click on it and it opens in a private tab by default. If I need to sign in to see it (e.g. private Instagram links) then I open it in a normal tab. This option is now simply gone.

So yeah that's my rant. I'll see if I open a bug requesting the 2nd issue back.

I personally been using it for almost 5 years. I heard about it from a colleague a few years before that but I forgot about it, and then an online ad reminded me to check them out again.
