I've been on Chromebooks for a while. However, since I had to recently try a Mac, I figured it was time to give Firefox a try again. After two weeks of trying, I've given up. At least for myself, I figured I'd write down the reasons I've given up.
Reasons:
- There is no way from the tab context menu to move a tab between windows. I typically try to keep no more than 3 windows open at a time. Ideally one, but maybe a second. Without the ability to through the context menu to move a tab, I need a very large screen (not a laptop screen) to move tabs between windows.
- I couldn't find a way to take a URL and turn it into a custom search. This really is a critical feature as it allows me to use short names to access specific searches. E.g. search code (cs), show a calendar (c), etc.
Second is only problem on Firefox for Android, where they removed support of bookmark keywords... If bookmark has %s where search string goes and has keyword set then entering "keyword string" to URL bar opens URL with %s replaced with string.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the first issue: is there a reason you want/need to do this from the context menu? The existing workflow to do this via drag and drop seems quite nice...
ReplyDeleteNumber two was a deal breaker for me too. It is a built-in feature for floorp (a Firefox fork) for what it's worth
