In no particular order

Kill off all AI in the browser. And don’t re-add it!
Do not use hidden extensions that can only be disabled in about:config
Make it possible to have tabs and a settable homepage in mobile Firefox
Make ALL telemetry and user tracking opt-in
Reinstate a fully customizable UI like in the past
Make it possible to locally load extensions (no, disabaling validation or temporary loading them for development reasons is not a solution)
Allow for app mode (see Chromium-based browser’s --app parameter)

i get where you're coming from but NO telemetry would be terrible for fixing bugs and idiosyncrasies

Not having telemetry was fine the last 30 years.

[–] lime@feddit.nu 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

you say that, but have you ever tried fixing bugs only based on end-user reports?

there's a reason firefox has open tickets that are 25 years old.

there’s a reason firefox has open tickets that are 25 years old.

And the reason is, they don’t properly triage bugs.
