Fenix: implement best features, settings and UI from firefox lite in Fenix

[sheikh-azharuddin]

What is the user problem or growth opportunity you want to see solved?

The firefox lite browser has too many features and modern UI and icons which can be used in firefox main browser to make it stand out, look more appealing and aesthetic...

Below are items which can be used in main browser(fenix)
Features-
Turbo mode
Screenshots
Themes
Clear cache button(optional)
Pin site
Night mode
Three dot menu
Home button
Bottom toolbar (optional)
Smart shopping search
Block images

Icons and menus
1. Replace quit button with exit button.the desktop version also this. Not sure why use quit in fenix

2. Pin icon with rounded top site design with favicon looks way modern and appealing. Also the pin icon color changes based on site🤩

3. Top site and bookmarks icon. Also the bookmarked sites have a blue icon here in fenix it is black..

How do you know that this problem exists today? Why is this important?

Some items can be modernized or adjusted to appeal users

Who will benefit from it?

All users

three dot menu style

smart shopping search

making things uglier is not appealing, that should be obvious

Please open one issue per feature request. It doesn't make sense to have one issue for all these different features that are totally unrelated. Also it's not possible to label the different feature requests differentially if there are no separate issues.

Ok I will raise separate request...ideally when a company plans to move to a new version they simple don't ignore the best features of old existing browser....the point is when existing firefox had too many good features why they were not carried forward🤷🏻 simply does not make sense...

been telling that to desktop department for years, don't get your hopes high

but also don't treat ugly UI as a best feature

Your issue is about features from Firefox Lite. Maybe you don't know it but Firefox Lite was a Chromium WebView (not GeckoView!) based browser from a different and independent team that no longer exists. The mobile products from Mozilla's independent Asia department like Firefox ScreenshotGo and Firefox Lite were discontinued and neither related to the old Firefox (<= 68) nor to the new Firefox (79+, also known as Fenix). Yes, Firefox Lite can be an inspiration for Firefox - just like any competitive browser should be seen as an inspiration. But Firefox Lite was a different product from a "different company" even if Mozilla TW is a subsidiary of the Mozilla Corporation. Fenix is not a new version of Firefox Lite, it's a different product from different developers.
