There are other things that keep me away for the android version, no matter what menu they make.
Things such as:
• FFA doesn’t have actual dials (like Opera for desktop and for android (OA)). Instead it pins whatever it wants on the so called “home screen” and often pins the same page 5-6 times. Bleh!
• if you happen to enter a “hole” in the reception, FFA loses connection with the outside world and the only thing that helps to fix it, is to reboot the phone. This used to be a thing with OA but I reported it and they fixed it like 3-4 years ago.
• doesn’t have about:config.
• doesn’t have even basic customization options, like setting up custom wallpaper in the browser, like OA does.
Generally, Opera devs seem to be more responsive to user suggestions. I suggested about:config for FFA at least a year ago, if not even longer than a year, people supported it but FFA still doesn’t have about:config.
So at this point I’m staying with the desktop version only (+ a fork of it) bc I can customize it in any way I want.
• The manually pinned literally sink somewhere behind the repeatedly pinned links from other sites, so manually is pointless.
• If “force stop” and then start FFA were enough, I wouldn’t mention phone reboot.
• Never heard of those but I’ll definitely try them. Thanks for the info.
• If it does, I’never found it in the settings. Or, for whatever reason, it doesn’t appear on Xiaomi phones.
Reading Hadriscus’ comment below ours from 2 weeks ago, looks like the reason I abandoned the desktop FF (and went for a fork) has been moved to FFA - enorcing their view on what’s best for the user without giving the user the option to revert what they have done. Do I have to say this behavior which famous corp. reminds me of or will Mozilla think of it themselves?
