Multi-tab operations Firefox users may select multiple tabs in the new version of the browser. Just hold down the Ctrl-key and left-click on tabs to select/deselect them.
Drag and drop is supported to move the selection of tabs in the same browser window or to another window. Right-click actions, e.g. Pin, close, or bookmark, are supported as well. Selected tabs display a color on top of the tabbar. Task Manager on about:performance Mozilla changed the content displayed on about:performance in Firefox 64.0. The current version displays open tabs and extensions, and the energy impact of each item listed.

I honestly wouldn’t mind it if they were to copy certain aspects of Chromium. Afterall Chromium is open source. You should be free to use ideas from it – the way multiprocess is implemented for instance. What Mozilla has done is implement multiprocess, with all the downsides it comes with, but none of the benefits. If one tab crashes it still takes down the entire browser with it. Wiht v57 they decided to simplify the UI, but now there’s all sorts of rubbish in the browser hamburger menu, or whatever they call it, with no logic to the way they are aranged.
They copied the WebExtensions model from Chromium, but in Firefox it is slow to startup – the browser starts fast, but the extensions take a while to load, and on top of that there’s a high chance of them not loading their database. Often uB0 loses its filter database and I’ve heard reports of people using those script modify extensions.Monkey (Violent Monkey, etc) reporting similar issues. They only seem to copy what makes Chromium bad without the things which actually makes Chromium a good browser. The UI looks like Chrome, but the performance is nowhere near the levels of Chrome. And I understand there is some browser discrimination one wher one web “developer” decides to implement something which clearly if in Chrome’s favour, but I doubt this is what everyone is doing, since Fx fell behind in almost every aspect these days.
I kind of liked the UI of Firefox 4. It was a complete rip-off of the UI Opera had at that time.
It might have not been as flexible as the UI of Firefox v3.x, but it was functional, and most of it made sense. The current UI of Fx 57 seems to do nothing other than pushing the user towards using malicious data-aggregating services like Pocket, sync, and whatever other crap there is in Firefox these days.
@Anonymous Pale Moon 28.x and Basilisk use the same underlying platform, UXP. Unlike Waterfox, it has independent development that doesn’t have to follow Mozilla’s constant refactoring. As an example, today the bloated and less secure Firefox Accounts system got booted from the UXP tree in favour of Sync 1.1. @pndy Basilisk has roughly the same add-on compatibility as Waterfox and Firefox 52. Extensions relying on Australis technologies will NOT work on Pale Moon.
It has been said a million times but people seem to conveniently ignore reality. @Apparition: “My concern is that they have far too small of a developer base to keep the browsers secure” I don’t know the size of their developer base, and being concerned about browser security is a good thing, but let’s not overdo it. First, even if a browser isn’t entirely secure, it’s still possible to use it in a secure way (particularly with the pre-57 forks, where you have greater flexibility). Second, for at least some people (well, for at least me, but I’ll bet there are at least one or two others like me), I don’t use Waterfox out of stubbornness.
I use it because it’s the only browser that meets my needs. If Waterfox weren’t available, I’m not sure what browser I’d use. I know it wouldn’t be Firefox or Chrome/Chromium-based ones.
I’d probably end up using the web a whole lot less generally. The lack of an acceptable browser is why I very rarely use the web on my smartphone as it is. Pick Waterfox if you want addons compatibility; Palemoon offers mostly disappointment in that field and most of all rude and overall unprofessional attitude towards its userbase. There’s also Vivaldi that tries to provide more customization options than standard Chrome/Chromium and other clones and claims care for user privacy; then you have SRWare Iron with removed spying components and no customization (and attempts of monetizing with custom new tab page – luckily, easily to bypass). There’s also Iridium Browser which also as Iron claims to have same components removed (and as I remember the most noticeable difference between these two was that Iron could be used with most popular streaming services while Iridium not).
Then there’s ungoogled-chromium about which you can read here Again, removed Google components but even more restrictively – to the point, you need to manually install extensions by operating on address bar. Who’s going to release a paid for browser with real privacy and no suggestionware?
The subscription email service I use is the antithesis of gmail. I don’t close my eyes and cringe when opening a message. No spam, no “AI” telling me what I think; wrong every time. Time for a subscription privacy browser. FF is still, after 15 years or whatever, our browser but OMG it’s emulating Windows now! Just like Windows, we use only an ever decreasing portion of all the junk in it.
Not sure it’s valid to compare anything to chrome, google calls it a search based user data collection product. I know, I know, but google doesn’t even try to hide their despicable nature.
Pure arrogance. Yeah, that’s the current state. I think eccentricities are more interesting to work on, once the substantial issues become overwhelming. I can understand that it’s more fascinating to work on “cool stuff”, such things probably happen naturally when marketing people and devs come together. I’m seeing more evidence that Firefox should really follow Edge with their recent decision. The time is now to create an open source browser working group based on Chromium.
How long until the engine practically implodes due to lack of compatibility? It’s a patchwork rug. Users are not patient, because ultimately browsing is about being productive. They leave once their favourite sites become hard to use for a couple of weeks. @user17483, if and when I criticize Firefox it’s because I cherish it as well as I cherish it’s non-alignment (at least not full alignment) on Chromium based architecture.
You write, “Users are not patient, because ultimately browsing is about being productive. They leave once their favourite sites become hard to use for a couple of weeks.” – I believe that irritation due to a browser which would not comply with a site’s correct rendering comes in second after a browser missing what a user expects in terms of eatures, privacy and security; – As for sites “hard to use” with Firefox, I personally haven’t encountered any, and i’ve been using Firefox for years. – I’m not sure browsing is ultimately about being productive. All depends what you’re using it for and there are times when a browser is dedicated to leisure, discovery, fuzzy logic leading from one topic to another (moving out of formatted quests is the best gift one can offer to his brains in that it emphasizes on what is human-specific rather than trying to get a human to imitate a robot). I do hope Firefox carries on with this tough task of being specific yet able to challenge the quick shifts of technology. Balance is always the toughest choice.
This is the worst “down-down-down-to-the-depths-of-hell” grade in recorded history. The reason I’ve been using Firefox for years is because of the wealth of add-ons. Now there are no add-ons worth installing. It seems that Firefox doesn’t give a s.
about it’s users, and had now joined the ranks of Microsoft by making changes that (I’ll bet) most users don’t want and don’t need. Their excuse is that developers will now be “encouraged” (read blackmailed) into updating their extensions to meet Mozilla’s “wonderful” new platform. Gag me with a shovel! This is nothing more than programmers run amok, and doing things because they can, and not because that’s what users want. I thank the stars and the heavens above that I can go back to 63.0 and turn off updates.
Mozilla, have you lost your mind???
