Comment on It's never been a better time to switch to Firefox
somedaysoon@lemmy.world 11 months agoThat doesn’t work for me, I need a home button in the browser to take me to the dashboard.
My workflow is open browser and I’m on my dashboard and I select something like my selfhosted paperless-ngx and now I want to get back to my dashboard again to check go to sonarr. Right now that is one button press on home. Then I’m done with sonarr and I want to open my to do list, again just press home button. Every other method is more than one button press and less efficient. I shouldn’t have to be less efficient because Firefox doesn’t have a basic feature that every other browser has had since the beginning of time.
This has been a known problem with Firefox for 5+ years. And what’s worse is that at one point in the past, Firefox mobile did have the ability to add a custom URL to the homepage but at some point they broke it. And they have very little care to fix it. Just look at the comments in the github issue, plenty of people care about it.

Yeah it’s incredibly annoying. I can’t remember the exact details but a while ago they removed about:config from the stable build and I was using a setting in there. Okay well I can just use the beta build right? Except the beta build took away another different feature that the stable build had!
