Each time I try Firefox something is not right for me. No matter if I'm on windows or Linux. GUI rendering issues, freezes, ghost process that doesn't stop when I close the browser. Each time something new.

Plus it doesn't offer me as much configurability as Vivaldi, at least in these areas I care for.

I'd love to hear that FF has 50% usage ratę again, but I will stick to chromium based browser.

What irks me the most with Firefox is the silent removal of the features they don't want to support. "We changed tab styles, so now its hard to see a separator between tabs, and no, there no way to revert it, deal with it". And this happens every time. I remember times when Firefox was popular because of customability, now I don't know what the major vision of Firefox is.

It isn't user-friendly but adding a simple border between tabs should be trivial to do with a CSS rule or two in userChrome.css.

This is one of the things I love about Firefox. So many options available, even if not "fully supported" tend to work well. Although they appear to be moving away from this approach with the move to only We extensions.

Are firmly at odds. Over 99% of users will not have the ability or the desire to do this. Heck, I know exactly what you mean and how to do it, and I would never do it as it's a pain in the butt. I don't use a browser to mess around with its "conf" files. Either it does what I want or I can change it without leaving the app. Everything else is onerous.
