    Doubling down on our core products, like Firefox

    Well, I sure fucking hope so. When are we getting back XUL addons or something comparable, you know, the feature that made your browser stand out?

    (One can dream, right? Hahaha)

      The reason that Firefox sucked ass for so long in speed and features was because xul was an unbeatable burden to maintain. Also, firefoxs extensions are still the most powerful out of any browser

        Indeed, they don’t have to bring back the XUL. The power users would just appreciate…

        • new extension APIs that interact with the browser UI
        • bring back toolbar customization that was removed for no reason (we can’t even move the extension button at this point…)
        • bring back compact mode and better themes (without requiring CSS and about:config tweaks)
