Fenix: Restore quality of life features to daylight

Created on 29 Aug 2020  ·  5Comments  ·  Source: mozilla-mobile/fenix

Thank you for the great work on the daylight release. I can see the tremendous progress made in the browser. However, there are a few features that I miss from pre-daylight release.

  • Only load images over wifi - This was great to save data since I don't have an unlimited plan

  • Ability to easily add search from most web pages - I was able to select a search field and add it to the firefox search list. This was nice to be able to add specific stores or sites easily to the search configuration. That way I didn't have to go to the store home page first then search.

  • Home page in private mode - I like the information about the common myths about private browsing. But, I used to have the home page show my bookmarks which were in a certain order so that the most frequent were at the top. With "top sites", I wouldn't have to do that, but I don't see that in private browsing mode.

  • Bookmark organization - Maybe this is already there, but I can't seem to reorder by bookmarks. When they were imported, the order is different than I had set before.

  • Long press back button - The long press of the back button to show the history of the tab was nice to go back to a specific page.

Once again, thank you for all your hard work. Take care and stay safe.

Please open one issue per feature request otherwise it's not possible for Mozilla to label your individual feature requests.

Thank you for the quick responses. Since it appears only 1 issue is not a duplicate, should I still write a new issue or leave this issue to follow it?

Thank you.

Better create a new one. You can close this one

I am closing this request due to most of it being a duplicate of other issues. I have added issue #14498 to cover the 3rd item. I've never created an issue before so thank you for guiding me in the proper procedure.
