Next, tab stacking.

And a tablet UI

[–] nodiet@feddit.de 3 points 11 months ago

Yup, my android tablet is the only device I own (unless you count my smart tv) where I don't use Firefox. At least there's kiwi so you can have a tablet interface and still be able to install addons

Is it a different UI than the one that has on the iPad?

[–] dantheclamman@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

There has been no tablet UI for Firefox on Android since the Fenix update 4 years ago. It's just the phone UI stretched out. It's a big bummer

Firefox is dead to me until they bring back a proper tablet UI. No tab bar is a deal breaker.

[–] dantheclamman@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah, I use Samsung Internet on my tablet. Firefox on everything else, so I obviously miss the syncing, tab push and access to extensions with my tablet. I even put it up as an Idea on Mozilla Connect, where a lot of people seem to agree, but I don't foresee Firefox ever addressing this. I think they're buried under a mountain of back-end issues.

This is very needed, I think you can get around on desktop with some neat extension, but we are fucked on mobile lol.
