You have gotten lots of feedback about how bad the latest Firefox for android is. It seems you keep hearing it and treating it as a 'features' issue or that it's about fixing bugs ....

Those are not the issues! The main issue is you have completely changed the look and feel - and have replace a useable, trusted application with an ugly, unfriendly, unusable one!

Please listen to us! We don't want yet another 'fix' or an update that adds new features! We want you to give us back a browser that looks and feels like the one we had before, that was user-friendly and easy to navigate and understand.

Also, you need to understand that 'updates' which might work on a cell phone don't always translate well to use on a tablet. When you equate android only with mobile phones it seems you don't really care about tablet users.

Hi,

The people who answer questions here, for the most part, are other Firefox users volunteering their time (like me), not Mozilla employees or Firefox developers.

If you want to leave feedback for Firefox developers, you can go to the Firefox Help menu and select Submit Feedback... or use this link. Your feedback gets collected by a team of people who read it and gather data about the most common issues.

I understand the position of the moderators. However, there should be feedback from the moderators to the developers. These moderators see what is currently happening to FF 79, because posts like those of the OP are very common. Their position may have more weight than the opinion of end users. Hiding behind the fact that moderators are not developers does not improve the product. The developers are probably blind to see that FF 79 failed and they will probably defend "their" code, no matter how buggy and user unfriendly it is.

Thanks for the feedback. Developers and product managers track feedback regarding the new Firefox for Android browser on all channels (forums, social media, etc.).

Unfortunately, I am going to lock this thread as it does not contain a question. Please see our Mozilla Support rules and guidelines.

Thank you
