There's definitely some on here that are a waste of resources... https://killedbymozilla.com/

Here's something done badly - Firefox View's Tab Pickup. Because as we know, no one ever opens more than 3 tabs. So that isn't used by many because of that and unless it's implemented into a proper list with actions against it then it will die a death of underuse.

I'd absolutely love to see Mitchell Baker do a Reddit AMA and actually answer inconvenient questions because there would be plenty of them.

Yup, I remember this coming out and playing around with it. The fact that I disabled it / never saw it again, probably re-enforces your argument that it was done badly. But when you say "So that isn't used by many because of that", do you mean because it was implemented poorly?

Hmm, now that I've looked at it again to see what it was, I'm wondering why I opted not to use it :/ Might give it another spin.

EDIT: Now I remember. It can't be set as the default page for new tabs or windows. Which is ... a strange decision?
