I kept with firefox through it all but started use Chrome for dev exclusively.
The only reason I stuck with firefox was Tree Style Tabs.
While I'm delighted at their recent improvements, I still can't help but wonder if they are putting the ~500 million they get each year to good use.
There are still features in the browser that are quite lacking:
- history -> history viewer is still so ~basic~. most query constructs that could be run against the history db should be exposed through the UI.
I also think it would be great if I could see the path I took to a url history(e.g. linked browsing)
- sync isn't done. I feel sync should also sync settings* from about:config & extension settings. I also would like to see the upper limit massively bumped up from the Mozilla sync service.
These may seem like big asks but Mozilla is taking in 1/2 billion a year [1]
* for those settings where it makes sense to sync.
