    I wish Firefox would stop rolling out redesigns, color themes, and other visual tweaks every couple years and instead focus on features and bugs.

    Improve Adblock capabilities, better tab and session management, improve sync, improve site css and js management, built in dark-mode.

    Hell, just look at the list of most used extensions, it’s a great place to start understanding what users want.

      Who says they don't? They've pushed 23 new releases since 2025 with thousands of updates that include exactly the bug fixes, performance improvements and security fixes you're talking baout. This latest release, v157, includes the built in dark mode you're asking about (I just saw it on the popup on first launch when installing this new version) and the release notes describe improvements to tabs. v156 included huge performance improvements and they're regularly pushing tons of CSS updates across practically all of the releases.

      I don't understand why people claim these things aren't happening when they're regularly documented on their release notes page.

        It's because they don't see bugfixes. They only see bugs.

        Like how I can't scroll on youtube anymore...
