There’s three main things I’ve noticed. These things only started happening after Mozilla’s change in leadership. While they have announced more features since then, I feel like the quality control has gone down a bit.
- Even with the sidebar disabled, the sidebar will show on the side of the screen for half a second after launching Firefox
- Sometimes, the “x” buttons on tabs will stop working. I have to middle-click the window to close it or close that window and open a new one
- The AI popup often gets in the way when selecting text. I think it would be nicer to have it show up in the right click menu after selecting text. I disabled the AI so it won’t show up since I never really used it anyways.
Tbh, I don’t use actual Firefox often any more it’s usually forks, and I’m not hyper worried about updating them as soon as a new version rolls out, I’m fine waiting a few weeks.
But I have noticed the sidebar thing on my laptop. Not sure which version it’s on, but it can’t have been much more than two weeks since I updated Firefox on it, since that’s when I did a version update to mint. Maybe three weeks at most.
You need to untick show sidebar in settings.
Much appreciated!
